In this couniy:
Pint while we of Nebraska cannot
give an electoral vote to Parker, we
can preserve our paity icputatlon. We
have accused others of Icltlng. We
have accused them of treachery. We
have felt that Pryau might have been
elected to the presidency If the east-
em democrats had done their duty.
We fell very bitter toward oureastern
brethren who betrayed us. Let us do
nothing after their manner. There
are many days and years ahead i f the
Nebraska democracy. Let us look
ahead. In order to have a lighting
place In the democrat Ic ranks in the
future we of Nebraska must win the
respect of the democratsof the nat ion,
Just as Bryan wmi their respect and
admiration in the nationalconventloii.
He had few votes to deliver, but lie
made a good light. We must do the
same. , real triend of lnaii w,ll
vote against Parker hi Nebraska. We
shall need every (leiun latic vote we
can get in this state, In order to give
Bryan the place he should have for
future work. If the Parker vote shall
be small in Nebraska, the eastern dem
ocracy win declare that Bryan lias no
stiength even in his own stale. They
will say he is a promisor, ami not a
performer. But more than all this,
Parker Is entitled to every democratic
vote In Nebraska. He Is the regular
democratic nominee, lie Is the choice
of the states which elect democrats.
And lie w ill lie the choice of every Ne
braska democrat worthy the name.
"It will pay better in politics as well
a-i in all else to look ahead, rather
than to the past. The Telegram
pleaes with Nebraska democrats to
stand loyally by Parker, In order that
our display of loyalty may serve as a
rebuke to those eastern Ienmcrats
who betrayed us in lsim, and also that
we may be placed In position to main
tain the prominence which the Ne
braska democracy has for eight years
enjoyed throughout the Union."

JUDGE PARKER SAFE MAN.
An Indcpesfcnt Newspaper Gives Reasons
Why He Should Be Elected.

Kititii-a! Indi-pi-trlence. comes out
st rough in fior of the election nt
J udge Parker.
111 itslra, llllgeilltoti.il.
under the c.ipt ion "The Ii-unviatsai,ii
Their New Leader, "if Ju'j 21, ,;is:
"Judge Par kit's telegiaai dnlaiio,.
himself for viuii-I money has n,a le such
an Impression that H may mm Un
democratic party In spite of itself.
"The comments u still elicit im;
show that Judge Parker's action has
won the c uilldeuce of the people, and
that sort of confidence President Ko ise
velt has not inspired.
"His Imperialism and his dictatorial
ways, together with his revival or the
race issue in the south and other
rough-rider fads, have awakened among
the people a distrust of Itoosevelt, and
the republican party ciuite as great
as the distrust of which Bryan
Ism, slxteeii-to-one-lsm, populism anil
other freak isms had excited with re
spect to the democrats.
"Mr. Koosevelt has the support of
his intimate friends and bis political
protehes, but conservative people eye
him with (list rust. They acknowledge
that he is Irreproachable as an Individ
ual; that he is a standi patriot, a good
husband, a loyal friend. But they
doubt his capacity for self-control, dis
trust his judgment and question his
conception of presidential duties.
"Like the (ierman Fmperor. he
w ishes to meddle in every detail of the
public service, locontrol every depart
ment, to rule every otllcial, to be both
the law-maker and the executive, to
he the source of power and to apply It.
"Between Mr. Roosevelt's views of
the president's duties and the views of
the American people on that subject
there Is a very wide difference. He
evidently thinks the president of the
United States is a sort of dictator.
while the people rightly regard him
merely as their chief magistrate as
the executive head of the administra
tion.
'Mils domineering conception nf his
official duties has excited widespread
resentment among repuhllcansand has
led him to make mistakes that would
have prevented his nomination if the
republicans had any other available
andidate.
"As It was, however, he had virtual
ly a walkover and the democrats were
entirely out of the running until Judge
Parker's telegram to W. F. Sheehanat
St. Louis convention revealed to them
that they had a candidate jKissessed of
strong sense and statesmanship.
Before his ultimatum was deliver
ed, it was said In the Herald that Judge
Parker was the servant of the demo
cratic party, not Its master. II is tele
gram on the gold question proved the
contrary. It showed that the demo
crats who had nominated him, believ
ing him to be King Log, had really cho
sen King Stork.
"What the democrats needed was a
master. They found one in J udge Par
ker, and he may yet lead them out of
the w ilderness."
Carl Schurts for Parker.
The great German-American states
man, Carl Schurz, has written Judge
Parker a letter commendable of his
many noble qualities, in which he says:
"Not as a party man but as an inde
pendent, 1 feel bound to express to you
my sincere respect. The principles
and opinions you are known to hold as
to the currency, Imperialism, the tariff
and the civil service, strongly com
mend themselves to men of my way of
thinking. But, if as an independent,
I ever, was doubting for what candi
date my duty commanded me to vote,
your action on the terms of your nom
ination has completely solved that
doubt. It has rendered to the republic
double service of Incalculable value.
No man can honesty deny that It has
demolished the last pretext for
still treating the cold question as a
live Issue of party controversy and that
It has thus relieved the business com
munity of an element of unhealthy
agitation and dangerous uncertainty.
This is so evident that any attempt to
continue must lie condemned by every
good citizen as absolutely wicked, In
deed as little less than criminal.
"And secondly, your manly declara
tion that you would accept the offered
nomination for the presidency only If
the offer came In harmony with your
sense of public duty has set up one of
those noble standards of moral courage
and civic virtue, of which our public
life stands so much In need. The
higher you list that standard, the
higher you will rise in the esteemed
confidence of your countrymen, ami
the more surely they will hold you
worthy of their highest trust.
"Wishing you all the success you so
well deserve. 1 am. sincerely yours.
"C. shut:..''
Mu. Bit van supports Parker because
he prefers the Citizen of Peace and
Prosperity to His Illgh-TarllT Majesty
of War and Imperialism. Like mil
lions of the American people, Mr. Bryan
w ishes a president, and not an auto
crat, a republic and not an empire,
peace and contentment, and not war
and trouble. larker's candidacy is an
advance toward their restoration of
I fundamental principles of democracy
Prosperity and the Farmer.
Are the farmers satisfied with the
kind if "pp-sperit "' which is associa
ted with republican administration':'
Upon the state of mind of the fanner
di pi n Is very largely the turn of poll
i ies in N"t'mlier.
The republican politicians make two
c!. urn s concerning t he f tnir-T. :ieis
that tln-ie is (ii-"s i-i ;; v " for a i,:,-i
t he H 'it, lica :i pal t y i s-i!--!y r s.i.ni
!:; and the other is tliat tin f ti mers
are adveise to any other kind of
prosperity.
1 1 is cei tain that the farmers of the
United Slates have been industrious
and successful tn the past t ight years.
The sun has shone, the rains have fal
len, the winds have blown. The fann
ers have cleared laud and plowed it and
sown seed therein, where lie fore was
unproductive timber and brush and
wild land. Agricultural interests have
been considerably extended anil to
some extent the industry has been re
warded. Industry cannot fail to tind
reward under any conditions in any
event. The farmer has managed to
hold his own during these eight years
If he has been hard to work.
The "prosperity" upon which there
publican party has stuck its label is in
clusive. It omits nothing. The sun,
the rain, the winds and the hard work
of the fanner have brought him to his
present state, but those things are
stamped "republican prosperity." All
things work together for the good of
the republican party. But the farmer
may reasonably ask himself: "Could
the republican party underMr. McKin
ley and Mr. Roosevelt have made me
prosperous without the aln of the Al
mighty's sun, wind and rain and with
out the aid of my own labor'"
"But,'' the republican politicians
say, "we have provided a market for
the fanner's products and we have
created good prices for them." Has
there ever been a time in the history
of the count ry, under any administra
tion, wlien the fanner could not sell
w hat he raised? Can politics alter the
fact that the world must always eat
and drink and have clothes to wear?
IHd the republican party create all the
necessities of mankind? Somehow we
recall that history records a time far
ther back than fifty years, when man
kind purchased Its food, drink and ap
parel from the farmer just as it does
to-day.
lo the republican politicians right
fully claim credit for the prices paid
to the farmer in the past eight years?
There have been good prices and there
have been had prices. Prices are never
at a standstill, and they have fluctua
ted during the terms of Messrs. Mc-
Kinley and Roosevelt precisely and to
the same extent that they have always
fluctuated. Prices will always fluct
uate. Have supply and demand noth
ing to do with prices? The argument
of the republican politicians Is that
prices are altogether independent of
supply and demand, and are solely reg
ulated by politics.
But we may assume for the sake of
argument that the republicans have
by some mysterious process fixed the
prices of farm products. Will they as
sume the responsibility for a decline
in prices in many Instances? Farmers
know that prices have actually declin
ed In many instances. The republican
politicians get around their logical re
sponsibility by denying that there has
been a decline in the price of anything
during Mr. McKlnley's and Mr. Roose
velt's administrations.
Where prices have gone down the
farmer may answer the question for
himself has there been a correspond
ing decrease in the price of farm ma
chinery? We know that the manufac
turer of agricultural Implements Is
selling his products in South Africa
and Australia to the competitors of
the American farmer cheaper than the
latter can buy them at the door of the
factory In thlscountry. We know that
the farmers are paying more for their
plows and tw Ineand lumber than ever
before. The farmers are the patrons,
through necessity and not by choice,
of the Farm Implement Trust. They
are the patrons, likewise, of a number
of other republican trusts. The repub
Mean politicians are partners, some
times admittedly, In the Farm Imple
ment and other trusts from which the
farmersare compelled to buy the things
which make tilling of the ground pos
sible. The farmer certainly pays
"prosperity" prices for these things.
And there Is more "prosperity" In the
price he pays the trusts than in the
price he receives for his products. It
will pay the fanner tocotisiderthe real
nature of the "prosperity" which he is
enjoying at the hands of the republi
can patty.
