Household duties are made less

telephone. Long days are less trying.
With its aid she quickly reaches
neighbors, or chats with relatives or
friends in town.
The farm telephone banishes lone

how widely separated they may be.
NORTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY
REPUBLICAN NEWS LETTER.
I incoln, Nebr., Oct. 29, 1928.
On next Tuesday Nebraska and
the nation go to the polls. Nevei
perhaps in the political history oi
the nation has there been so man>
conflicting currents in an election
voters. These assure that an im
mense vote will be cast, for the peo
pie are thoroughly aroused from thi
ethargy that usually marks presiden
tial elections. In Nebraska as the
campaign has proceded there has beer
a steady and growing drift to Hoover
as his character and accomplishment.'
have become better known. That he
will have the electoral vote of ,tbe
state by a wide margin is generally
believed and that he will be the next
president is indicated by nation-wide
polls and the prophecies of the ablest
political seers.
-o
Attention then in Nebraska next
turns to governor where Charles W.
Ih yon, Democrat, former governor
and frequent office seeker, is pitted
against Arthur J. Weaver, Republican,
whp for the first time is candidate for
a h*gh political office. Mr. Bryan is
following his old tactics of trying to
make the people believe they have
been victimized and robbed by de
signing and extravagant rpublican
state administrations and left penni
less and prostrate on the roadside.
Mr Weaver deals in none of the
age-old tricks of the politician, but
talks constructive argument and sound
political sense. He has been seen and
heard in every part of the state, has
left a message that carries conviction
and real information, and comes to
the close of his campaign with the
comforting thought that he added
nothing to the confusion or misin
formation of voters. The quality and
vigor of his campaign, coupled with
his winning personality, make it seem
assured that to him will fall the honor
and duty of bing governor of Nebras
ka with the beginning of the next bi
ennium.
-o
How far the control of the Dem
ocratic party in the nation has swung
from the party which William Jen
nings Bryan dominated to the one now
controlled by Tammany, was strik
ingly presented in a speech by Senator
Edwards of New Jersey, made shortly
after the Houston convention. Sena
tor Edwards is one of the outstanding
supporters of Governor Smith. In
his address he said: “The only major
political figure in recent American
history who tried to force a false and
misleading issue down the throats of
the electorate was the late William
Jennings Bryan and he was defeated
for the Presidency three times, and in
organizing and promoting his own de
feat he wrecked the Democratic party
over a period of three decades. The
fact that the great Commonor is now
mouldering in his grave was the one
and largest contributing factor to
Demoncratic harmony at Houston.
Without the blighting influence of
Bryan, Miss Democracy has yet an
onportuntiy to seurvive and prosper.”
This is a fair sample of the contempt
Tammany held for the Commoner, and
for the relief its chiefs feel in the fact
that Mr. Bryan’s commanding figure
and eloquent voice are no longer pres
ent to thwart the schemes to install
Tammanyism in the white house.
-o
But Tammany does not speak for
all New York. There is a Bryan
Democratic League with headquarters
in that city that is committed to the
ideals and policies of the Commoner,
even in his death. Recently this
group through its campaign committee
expressed what Nebraskans believe
would be the attitude of Mr. Bryan
himself if he were here in the flesh
to speak. ‘The committee in a public
statement said: “Mr. Hoover embod
ies the very qualities which form the
first campaign attracted us to William
Jennings Bryan—the same passion for
the common man., the same fine
scruples against underhand dealings,
the same quick action against tricky
injustices, the same mind on prohibi
tion and Tammany.” Can any loyal
follower of Mr. Bryan doubt what his
attitude toward Governor Smith and
his Tammany associations would be in
this campaign?
Recent investigation of taxes paid
by Charles W. Bryan on one of his
Lancaster county farms discloses the
interesting fact that the Bryan ad
ministration was more expensive to
Mr. Bryan than was either of the Mul
len administrations. Mr. Bryan’s
farm,—the southwest quarter of 17
9-7,—was valued at $17,900.00. In
1923, the first year of Mr. Bryan’s ad
ministration, the total state tax on
this farm was $41.75. In 1924, it was
$37.02. In -1927, at the beginning of
McMullen’s second administration, the
regular state tax was only $40.27, but
owing to the special levy of one and
one-half mills to pay off the deficit,
the total tax for that year was in
creased by $26,85 to $67.12. The 1928
state tax on this farm is only $36.87.
The investigating committee of the
1927 legislature found that Bryan’s
i share of the deficit was $1,668,660.08,
or 36 per cent, of the total deficit. By
properly apportioning the special levy
of 1927, which cost Mr. Bryan $26.85
I in 1927, over the preceding years dur
ing which the deficit was created, it
was found that the actual state tax on
Mr. Bryan’s farm in 1923 was $44.65,
and in 1924, $44.41, while in 1927 it
was only $40.27 and in 1928 $36.87.
Thus the second McMullen adminis
tration actually cost Mr. Bryan only
$77.14 in taxes on this farm while his
own administration cost him $89.06.
-o
Governor McMullen announces that
he will make a number of speeches in
the middle west in behalf of Hoover
and Curtis during the closing days oi
the campaign. He will deliver at
least one radio address in Nebraska
' While still a believer of the equaliza
tion features of the McNary-Hauger
bill. Governor McMullen sees mor<
hope for the farmer from the electior
of Hoover than of Smith. The fad
that Mr. Hoover was born in the mid
die west, thnt he has raised the farn
question to the point of first import
ance among campaign issues, and tha
i he stands for high tariffs, which are
essential to the welfare of the farm
I ers, are the reasons given by Gov
I ernor McMullen for his active support
I of the Republican candidate.
-o
W. M. Stebbins, state treasurer, is
j making a speaking tour of the state,
j informing Nebraskans of the facts
I concerning state funds and taxes. In
j plain words he tells of the recent state
deficit, how it was made and paid, and
vrtiat part of it belonged to each of
three governors, McKelvie, Bryan and
McMullen. “McKelvie and McMullen
admit the share of the deficit attrib
uted to their administrations, but
Bryan denies there was any deficit
during his term,” declares Treasurer
Stebbins. Then he uttters this sen
sible query: “Do you think it is safe
to employ as head of this state a man
who created a deficit of $1,660,000 and
doesn’t know it?” No one has yet been
heard to answer the interrogation in
the affirmative.
-o
C. A. Sorensen, Republican candi
date for attorney general, has been
making an active campaign over the
state during the past month on behalf
of the state and national Republican
ticket. Mr. Sorensen reports an ex
cellent sentiment in all parts of the
state that he has visited, and predicts
that the Republican candidates will
carry Nebraska by a substantial ma
jority.

CURTIS LAUDS BOB SIMMONS.
“Kearney, Neb., Sept. 25. In his
rear platform speech at Kearney,
Tuesday, Senator Curtis referred to
Congressman Bob Simmons of the
‘Big Sixth’ as ‘one of the most promis
ing congressmen in Washington.”
“I understand the people of this dis
trict are planning to send him back
with a bigger majority than ever,”
said the Senator. “I am glad to know
that. Congressman Simmons has
been a close student of government
and his chances to be of benefit to his
district and his state will increase
with every additional term he serves.”
Tariff Talk
By DR. HUBERT WORK
ERRONEOUS impressions have
gone forth, and are spreading,
that there is no material differ
<nce between the Democratic and
Republican stand
on the tariff this
year; cc sequently
many are prone to
say that the tariff
is not an issue
That impression is
wholly erroneous,
and should be cor
rected.
The tariff is am
should be a vital
issue in this cam
paign.
Recall the Democratic piatiorm
adopted at Houston. It endorsed a
competitive tariff, — quite different
from a protective tariff. Furthermore,
Governor Smith let the cat out of the
hag by commending the ruinous Un
derwood Act.
The Republicans, of course, are
standing four-square for adequate pro
tectlon for American workers and
farmers and prevent competition with
low wages abroad.
Hoover Gi%at Executive
Hoover represents the organized
business interests of the country. He
is one of the greatest executives and
while he may not he as good a poli
tician as the governor of New York,
he will likely make one of the best
working presidents the country has
ever had.—Peoria (111.) Star.

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE
ON THE AMENDMENT
At the election booth, you will re
ceive a special ballot proposing an
Amendment to our Constitution.
Without any additional expense to the
tax payers, it provides for placing the
Schools for the Deaf and Blind under
the jurisdiction of the University Re
pents. You are asked to vote For or
Against this proposition.
The only ones opposing this Amend
ment are those who have political jobs
at stake. Deaf and blind boys and
girls of Nebraska are now classified
with inmates of the Penitentiary, In
sane Asylum, and Institute for the
Feeble Minded. The adult Deaf and
Blind feel that this classification is
unfair and unjust. They feel that
their Schools should have the same
consideration as other educational in
stitutions.
We want them placed under a
Board, which has an educational power
and viewpoint. The Deaf and Blind
are not asking for any new Boards or
additional expense, merely to be placed
where they rightfully belong.
Please vote for this Amendment
Tuesday, and in so doing, help the
Deaf and Blind boys and girls of your
state to an equal chance with their
more fortunate brothers and sisters.
