It is the same everywhere all for
Uryan, Kern and Harmony.
The unanimity with which the cap
italists and laboring men alike have
lined up for the national democratic
ticket admit3 no doubt of its success.
Anyone thinking that Nebraska will
go republican this fall, has another
think coming. Democratic prospects
were never so bright as they are today
and Bryan is sure of the statejby a big
majority.
Now it is Pat McCarren who has
joined the chorus of Bryan admirers.
The wave rolls on and gathers force.

The announcement is made that when
Taft opens his campaign, he will han

Chances favor his getting some pretty
badly skinned as they are sure of a
ihard proposition this year.
The outlook for the democrats locally
Nvas never better than it is this fall.
Cass county democrats should nominate
a strong legislative ticket, one that will
-guarantee the legislation the people
want, and it will be elected.
The gubernatorial boom is abroad in
the land and soon the campaign will
present an animated appearance. No
matter which of the candidates the
democrats present for that office, he
will be the right man. They all have
their good qualities and are strong, able
men.

The argument is advanced that the

small sum in remodeling and renewing
its plant and that it will remove its

Where Labor Stands.
On Monday last Samuel Gompers,

his announcement was couched in no today, going up on the fast mail for a

As Mr. Gompers is at the head of
ihree million laboring men this an
nouncement is pregnant with meaning.
It means that throughout this country

possibly Pennsylvania, will probably be
democratic this fall, and assures the
election of Bryan and Kern.
There is a reason for Mr. Gompers'
position. The democratic party met
e demands of labor at Denver square
!y snd fairly. There was no equivoca
tion, no evasions. Everything they
reasor-?.!y asked they received. This
.vas no render, but a recognition of
the iustue of labor's demands. On the
ontrsiry 1 h republicans at Chicago,
gave Iab-'r nothing absolutely nothing.
Dominated throughout by wealthy man
ufacturers that convention could see
nothing in labor's demands which it was
bound to heed.
With such a contrast there could be
no choice for organized labor. They
must act with the democrats if they act
at. all, and with the' vital issues before
them they have wisely cast their lot
with the party which favors their prin
ciples.
