And they are ail for Bryan. Repeating the Forgery. The News in it3 issue of last evening reproduces without apology, the forged letter sent the Chicago Tribune from this city making false representations concerning the position of Mayor Henry R. Gering in thi3 campaign. This is absolutely inexcusable inasmuch as this paper in its issue of last Saturday, October 3, denounced this letter as a forgery and only serves to show the ex tent to which the personal hatred of of the News for Mr. Gering can go. Being given circulation by such sheets as the News, the letter can do Mr. Ger ing nor the democratic party any harm, for the animus which impels its publi cation is so plain that the most dense person cannot fail to see it. However, it is just as well to have the public know as at any other time that the whole miserable emanation is the vile forgery of some person with a personal grievance against Mr. Gering. The Chicago Tribune was imposed upon in its publication and will take steps to detect and punish the party responsible and the United States goverment will attend to the party using the mails for its transmission. Henry R. Gering is in full and hearty accord with the dem ocratic national platform and in abso lutely unity with its candidate the Great Commoner, William J. Bryan. Former: s and malicious pers-oncl at tacks cannot injure him, nor swerve -n fr .ri his position as an ardent sup- j Tin; Lincoln Star in answer to the Journal's editorial calling attention to the fact that Mr. Taft did not say a word about the guarantee of bank de posits, in his speech here, remarks that "Mr. Taft does not believe in bank guaranty, but he had so many other things to talk about issues that are touched upon in his own platform that he did not have time to discuss the de posit question in this state." It further says that it is not in his platform nor in the republican state platform, and that Mr. Taft was speak ing for Nebraska republicanism when he toured this state. Yet, the attention of the people is called to the fact that Mr. Taft in the east did speak upon the bank guaranty question although it was not in his plat form nor was it in the platform of the eastern state where he spoke. But he believed his views would be popular there and he knew it was disastrous to give them vent in this state. Then the Star helps a little when it says Taft represented Nebraska repub licanism in his speeches. That being the case, the man who wants his bank deposit protected should vote the de mocratic state ticket as well as the national ticket. But the pregnant fact is that Mr. Taft spoke against bank guaranties in the east and was silent in the west where people wanted to hear his views. If his views were good in the east they were good in the west and why was he afiaid to state them. people rule. Is a candidate who speaks against an issue in one state where it is not men tioned in either state or national plat forms and then declines to speak on the issue in another state because if is not an issue, sincere ' Rkkkkknv.: is made in another column to the little meeting Congressman Pol lard had at the University at Lincoln. It was a frost but not near so severe as the congressman will encounter on November ord, when he will be buried in a snowstcrm. Some Responsibility. The republican orators from Mr. Taft : down have been harping upon the high price of farm products and declaring in stentorian tones that the republican party alone is responsible for them. Such a thing as even dividing the respon sibility with the Creator is out of the question with those worthies. It is all republican the republican party pro duced the rains and the winds and the clear light of Heaven all this is due to the great and benificent republican party. While all this is tommy-rot and nonsense Taft and his speakers continue to regale the country with it day after day. But there are some things Taft and his party disclaim responsibility for and one of these things is the panic which has swept the land broadcast like a typhoon. They have denied respon sibility for a condition by which the farmer with his high prices could de posit his money in the banks and then have the banks calmly tell him that he couldn't have it when he wanted it. They deny the responsibility for the work of man but claim the glory of the Creator. They deny that under their admistration money went out of cir culation in this country and paper with out even government credit was made to serve in it's stead. They deny re sponsibility for absolute conversion of the country from a gold basis to that on credit which existed in this country last fall. But the farmer knows who was re sponsible for this state of affairs. He knows that the republican party was in power last year and is in power now, and that last year he could not get his money from the banks when he wanted it but instead, was given a piece of paper issued absolutly without author- From every quarter of the county ity of the law and told to take that or reports of the strength of Billy Ram nothing. ; sey for County Attorney. That he is Now, isn't it time for the republican i going to win out for election is a fore- Guarsnty of Deposits. In this state the republican papers are making a desperate effort to have it appear that the question of guaranteeing banks is not an issue. The word has been sent forward to confine their remarks to a repetition of the cry that it is not an issue. Taft in his in vasion of this state did not discuss the question because "it is not an issue," yet. Mr. Talt did discuss the question earlier in the campaign when he made it an issue if it had not already been one, by his statement of opposition to the idea. And it was a question in the republi can state convention where the bankers won out and defeated the proposition by a decisive vote. This too, in spite of the fact that Governor Sheldon led the fight for the proposition. As the democrats in the nation and state have declared for the guarantee, it becomes a most vital issue in the campaign and one which Mr. Taft and the republican state candidates must meet. And the reason for it being an issue is that it is a just and needed remedy for many of the troubles which beset the financial and commercial world. It will stop such panics as those occasion ed by a loss of confidence. In his speech at this point, Mr. Taft stated that the panic which we are now suffering from was due to a "lack of confidence." If that is true the enactment of a law which would have assured depositors that their funds in the bank were safe, would have prevented the hardj times from which we now suffer. It would have kept the hundreds of thousands of working men at their toil, and it would have kept the market for the farmers products open. It would have kept the money in circulation which at the beginning of the distrust, was hurriedly drawn from the banks and hoarded because of the distrust of their methods. Mr. Taft and the republican papers know this. They know this law is justly due the people; that the only people opposed to the law are those who seek to use the people's money to their own advantage and escape liability for their acts. Yet knowing all this, they still maintain "it is not an issue." Such talk is folly. It is an issue and the farmers, laboring men and business men are united in demanding the pas sage of the law. To this end they will vote together and elect William J. Bryan and a democratic congress in the nation, and Ashton C. Shallenberger and a democratic legislature in the state. ;. .... imi&;):it ti-Jr" . v j- ,--..v V , -j-m '-"f-:' l'i- v-i.J,.'I.- tj' Lavon Sheldon Monument Erected by Us in the Nfihawka Cemetery.

After all Taft shows some political genius. He only speaks on subjects mentioned in the platform when he knows public sentiment is against him on those subjects not mentioned in his platform. In states where he believes public sentiment is with him, he de nounces those things not in his plat form. Witness the bank guaranty. In Nebraska he is silent upon this be cause it i3 not in his platform. In Vir ginia and New York he denounces it but it is still not in his platform. Great old boy, that man Taft.

Is he different from the man who trades for a postoffice? Chairmanships in Washington are important to the individual who holds them. He is up that much closer to the throne. He is part of the "pull." He becomes a cog in the machine which is used by the "interests" in bossing the law-making body. He may even be known in time as the "whip" for the speaker.
