Out of Old Nebraska . . .
Campaign in 1890
State’s Most Spirited
Prairies Swept That
Year by Tornado
An election year inevitably
brings forth memories of hot po
litical campaigns of the past, and
in Nebraska such memories
sooner or later focus on the elec
tion of 1890, one of the most
spirited and confused in the his
tory of the state.
Describing it, the late Dr. Ad
dison E. Sheldon wrote: “There
never has been such a political
campaign in Nebraska as the
campaign of 1890 and there never
can be such another. The later
presidential campaigns of 1892
and 1896 were full of fire and en
thusiasm, but none of them ap
proached the sublime energy of
the human tornado which swept
the prairies from August to No
vember, 1890. As one of the
speakers in that campaign said
from the platform in the hearing
of the writer: “We farmers raised
no crops, so we’ll just raise hell.”
The long* endured economic
greivances suffered by the
farmers of the west erupted in
1890 into a series of third par
ties whose vigorous campaign
ing threatened—and frequently
defeated—parlies who had been
entrenched in power since the
Civil war.
In Nebraska the people’s inde
pendent party, organized out of
the Farmers’ Alliance at a con
vention in Lincoln, July 29, 1890
swept across the state to win con
trol of the legislature, elect a
democrat governor, and unseat all
three republican members of the
house of representatives. »
As Doctor Sheldon wrote,
“there never h asbeen such a po
litical compaign in Nebraska.”
Crowds turned out in unprece
dented numbers to listen to In
dependent orators and to sing In
dependent songs, most of which
were set to the tune of well
known gospel hymns. Indeed,
the Independent campaign took
on much the color of a religious
crusade.
At Wymore on September 23,
1,050 farm wagons were counted
in an independent parade, and
1,600 wagons paraded at Has
tings the same day. Parades from
two to 10 miles long were the or
der of the day everywhere.
At Cushman park near Lin
coin, 20,000 people assembled
on September 1. The crowd
was so great that orators spoke
from different platorms so that
all could hear.
Quoting again from Doctor
Sheldon: “It was like one con
tinuous Fourth of July celebra
tion with delegations from differ
ent alliances and princts headed
g
by pioneers driving to some am
ple woodland and spending the
entire day visiting and politics.”

Stainless Steel Teeth
Not many people know it, but Uncle Sam buys millions
of dollars' worth of stainless steel teeth. Don't get
upset. They're not the chewing kind. They're the jet
plane kind.
You see, stainless steel teeth are blades that fit inside
the engine walls of jet planes. The blades help to drive *
air into the firing chambers. There are more than 1,000
of these teeth in each engine, and up to a little while
ago each one had to be forged—a slow, fussy, expen
sive method.
The problem was dumped in the lap of G-E special
ists, and they solved it.
The result is that today we roll a continuous strip of
stainless steel, cut the teeth to length, and weld them
to a base. Works fine. The cash saving: 55%. Critical
material saving: 39%.
There's an extra rbason to be happy about this,
since all of us taxpayers have to foot the bills. Millions
of dollars will be saved by the military services in
future blade production. And the how-to-do-it is being
shared through the U.S. Air Force with other jet
engine builders.
