It has been charg ed time after time by the local demo cratic candidate for state senator, that the county was paying for the bridges on the federal aid road running north from O’Neill with funds from the county bridge fund and that as a con sequence the county board was unable to build other bridges. Last week’s edition of the democratic organ con tained this direct charge in a signed article by Air. Robertson and in several editorial •paragraphs presum ably from the pen of the talented editor of the sheet. The utter falsity of the charge is exposed by the publica tion of photographs of the state war rant in payment for these bridges and the letter of State Engineer George Johnson to the county board which ac companied the warrant. The warrant and the letter are on file at the office of the county clerk awaiting the regu lar meeting of the county board. They are public records and may be seen by all. There is no subterfuge or mis statement in the letter of Air. John son and the warrant is for the pay ment for the bridges which Mr. Rob ertson said the county would have to pay. The entire truth of this state ment may be verified by inspection of the record or by inquiry of the state department of public works, regard less of any assertions to the con trary. The record does not lie. -yj W. J. Bryan was flatly accused of betraying a trust by Mrs. Mamie M. Claflin, former state president of the W. C. T. U. at the state convention of that organization at Lincoln Tuesday. The accusation and denounciation came after Bryan had delivered a speech before the convention. Bryan had accepted an invitation to address the convention a year ago and before he became identified with Senator Hitchcock, the enemy of (prohibition. At that time and since his arrival in the state he pledged the ladles that he would not deliver a political speech. The promise however was violated and Mr. Bryan delivered a talk for the wet Mr. Hitchcock. The ladies should not be surprised at Mr. Bryan’s be trayal of their confidence. It is not the first time that Mr. Bryan has be layed a trust. In 1912 Mr. Bryan was elected by the Nebraska democrats ns a delegate to the democratic na tional convention. He was elected at a primary election and was instructed by the mandate of the democratic voters to support their choice, Champ Clark, for the democratic nomination for president. Mr. Bryan, who always has claimed credit for the primary, paid no attention to the instructions given him by the democratic voters at the polls, but on his arrival in Balti more declared that the Nebraska democrats did not know what they wanted, and used hi3 then immense influence to defeat Champ Clark and nominated Woodrow Wilson. -o Frequent and many complimentai references to the speech of Senate. George Norris are to be heard upon the streets. Senator Norris abstained entirely from personal attack upon Senator Hitchcock, contenting himself merely with showing by the record that Senator Hitccock from motives no doubt sincere had seen fit to line up with wealth and the big interests in opposing taxation of them to lighten the burdens of the common people. Senator Norris at the conclusion of his speech advised those who thus favored the big interests to vote for Senator Hitchcock, but to vote for his oppo nent ir tbew do not believe this system right. CHARLEY BRYAN’S MUNICIPAL RECORD Lincoln Journal: A search through the city archives reveals that not only did C. W. Bryan vote against the stipulation of settlement between the city of Lincoln and the Lincoln gas company which meant something like $400,000 in cash rebates to the con sumer, but he once cast his vote against a proposed reduced municipal scale. In both of these instances, he stood alone. His explanation will be that he had something better for the people than his colleagues were pro posing. That illustrates his lack of team work. He never has been able to fpull in harness with anybody else. On September 20, 1916, Commis sioner Schroeder, head of the munici pal water and light department, sub mitted to the council a resolution fix ing the following new rule schedule;' on all services a fixed charge of 40 cents per month; five cents per k. w. h. for the first ten k. w. h.; four cents for the next thirty k. w. h.; three and one-half cents for the next 460 k. w. h. and three cents for all current con sumed over 600 k. w. h. Mr. Bryan complained that such plan of rate fix ing was not in accord with public policy. He voted no. Commissioner of Finance Dayton, in explaining his affirmative vote, said: “The new rate is a reduction to the people in the cost of lighting. I know it is the purpose of Mr. Schroeder to still further reduce the rate when it is possible to do so.” For the reduction; Schroeder, Day ton, Henesly, Wright. Against the reduction: Bryan. For the stipulation settlement of the gas controversy; Schroeder, Dayton, Zehrung, Wright. Against the settlement: Bryan. The fact about Mr. Bryan and municipal ownership is that he has always been for it when it seemed politically helpful to him, and usually against it when he thought somebody else might fjet more votes out of it than he. This is not only the memory of the leaders in the gas fight, the street car fight and all other battles of the past, but it is a matter of of ficial record. Anybody in the state who wants to know about this will find the books open at the city hall. DEMOCRATS continue MISREPRESENTATION Continuing the policy of falsification and misrepresentation exposed by The Frontier, the democratic machine last week published in its official organ another set of tax figures in which the state tax on certain lands in 1921 is made to appear larger than it really is. That the democratic fake statistican is paying no attention whatever to the official records in compiling his pro paganda is evidenced by the fact that in his last week’s tabulation he got the state tax on the Lena Grof land lower than it really is. Herein is presented the tabulation of false tax statistics as published by the democratic com mittee, with the true state tax for 1921 on the lands in question as ascertain ed from the office of the county treasurer appearing in black faced type. Any one may ascertain the falsity of the democratic figures by inquiry at the office of the county treasurer: fjw i 2 O p EL o m» *3 mi i ; 3 • i : o *!***& s % ■ CO to CO K) tOOOOHCn rt 00 > • * * e* VMHMH O tO tft #».

These are my views. Some of the democratic candidates for delegate to the national convention are well known dry men. The liquor interest "is wiped out and has no need of further consideration. “Mr. Bryan did not always hold his present extreme views on prohibition, We all supporte Mr. Bryan 20 years ago when he would not let a word on prohibition into the democratic plat form which he wrote. One democrat once asked for a plank (protecting pro hibition states from liquor. Bryan said no, not a word must go in the plat form. “Bryan once insisted on that great brewer, Fred Metz, sr., of Omaha, carrying the electoral vote of demo ratic Nebraska to Washington. Who vas it who won the banner for getting '.he most recruits in the Bryan Vol unteer club? I will tell you. It was Harry Hayward, partner of Walter Moisc of Omaha, who won the Bryan banner. I have committed no sin, only that I have not changed my opinion quite as often as Mr. Bryan has.” BRYAN’S OPINION OF HITCHCOCK A Wall Street Representative. In the Commoner of April, 1920, Bryan gives his frank opinion of Hitchcock as follows: “The statement of my views ex plains why I can not support Senator Hitchcock for the Democratic presi dential nomination. The senator’s record follows: “1. Eight years ago he was the Ne braska representative of the Wall street group that tried to secure for Governor Harmon the democratic nomination for president and he has since indicated no change of heart. His nomination would be a triumph for Wall street and a rebuke to the Baltimore convention. “2. He joined the republican mem bers of the currency comipittee op posing the currency bill now a law. He stood with Wall street in fighting this measure, the most important economic reform accomplished by the Wilson administration, and hsi nomi nation would be construed as a pledge to put Wall street* in charge of the Federal Reserve system. "3. He is opposed to prohibition. He opposed it before Nebraska adopted it, and even after Nebraska had adopted it by 29,000 majority, he voted against the submission of the national amendment which was ratified by the Nebraska legislature with but one dissenting vote. The national amend ment has now been ratified by 45 states, including eveiy democratic state, and we are now living under an enforcement law passed by more than two-thirds of both houses. Senator Hitchcock has declared for such an amendment of the enforcement law as will restore the use of wine and beer, without defining the alcoholic content, thus reopening the entire question and trying to make the party the cham pion of an outlawed traffic. His nomi nation would be an offense to the con science of the nation. It would make the liquor question the paramount do mestic issue and condemn the demo cratic party to disgrace as well as defenat. “4. He opposed equal suffrage even after Nebraska had conferred suffrage upon woman by statute. He voted against submitting the national suf frage amendment at a time when his vote (would have carried the reso lution and given to a democratic con gress the honor of submitting this great amendment. In so doing he de clined bo follow the wishes of nis con stituents expressed by the unanimous vote of the Nebraska legislature. Hia nomination would doubly offend the women voters of the nation—he would tie the mother’s hands and at the same time permit the saloons to rob her of her children. “5 After fighting for the ratifica tion of the treaty for eight months, he helped he irreconcilable foes of the treaty to defeat it and now, holding in conterript the needs of our own nation and the welfare of the world, he seeks to further his ambition by using the treaty as an issue.” LOCAL MATTERS.
