Roosevelt was nominated for a third ! don right then aud there. Mr.
Shallenberger called attention to
the charge that he was a railroad
man, and that Mr. Sheldon was a
railroad fighter, and then he made
the following open proposition to
Sheldon:
will agree to retire from the race
for gov ernor if I have used a rail
road pass since Mr. Sheldon used
one, provided he u ill agree to with
draw if it be shown that he has used
a pass since I have. ;
Did Mr. Sheldon accept the chal
lenge?, . , . , t, ,

, He crawfished, and did a poor
job at it,,too.,; v.'.;:;" i .:i
Here is a fair picture of . the two
men who are seeking the suffrages
of the people .in the present cam
paign. ; - When nominated for" gov
ernor, Mr. Shallenberger frankly
admitted that he had used railroad
passes in other years, but that some
years ago he became convinced the
pass business was a bad business,
and that ever after he had refused
to accept any such favors.
How different the conduct of Mr.
Sheldon. Very recently he was a
member of the Nebraska legisla
ture, and he carried. and used rail
road passes during the session.
Now he accepts a nomination for
governor and permits the republi
can press to advertise him to the
world as a man so clean that his
pocket has never been polluted by
a pass. He pennitted his own par
ty friends to shamefully lie about
Mr. Shallenberger, hopinglthat he
mightreceive benefit from the lying
; But he is cornered now. He
must fish or cut bait. He must
shoot or give up the gun. He
must accept the challenge hurled
in his teeth by Mr. Shallenberger
or be branded as a fake reformer
of the Norris Brown andTige Har
rison stripe.
The cowardly conduct of Mr
Sheldon is inspiring his own repub
lican followers with disgust. The
bold honesty of Mr. Shallenberger
is filling his friends with new ad
miration for the man, and new
hope for his success in the pres
ent campaign.
An excellent, authority once
said: "God hates a coward." The
sage must have been thinking of
Candidate Sheldon when he said it.
Mr, Sheldon has played the part of
cowaru in tins campaign. He
has permitted his party friends to
lie about Mr. Shallenberger, never
raising a voice of protest. 'He has
permitted his friends to brand Mr.
Shallenberger as a "railroad tool,"
and, then, when face to face with
his brave opponent, he dare not ac
cept a challenge, the accepance of
wnicu would compel his withdraw
