WHERE DO YOU STAN D?
i Among other propositions be-
fore the public and worthy of
' consideration, are:
1. Th guarantee of bank de-
posits. "
' 2. The election of United
States senators by direct vot
of the people, and
3. An Income tax levied on
large incomes to help pay the
expenses of the general gov-
ernment t
Those propositions commend
themselves to three-fourths of
- the voters of Nebraska. Bryan
stands pledged to everyone of
them. Taft and his party are
against them. Where do you
stand. ik
Vote for V. B. Banning for Senator.
He's the proper man.
I'oi.lakd will vote for Joe Cannon for
Speaker if he get another apportunity.
Keep this fact before the votes.
Koosevelt evidently broke his big
stick in slamming it against the im
penetrable doctrines of W. J. Bryan.
In the ranks of which army are you
going to be found on November 3
those of organized greed or those over
which floats the standard of the peo
ple's rights?
It is said that ten men own as much
wealth as all the rest of the population
combined in this country. And those
ten are all for Taft. Do you dare deny
it? Of course not.
Vote for W. B. Banning for State
Senator, if you would have a represeta
tive in the State Senate who will prop
erly look after the best interests of his
constituents in Cass county.
Remember that J. A. McGuireis free
from salary grabbing and is opposed to
Joe Cannon's way of running congress.
He is able and honest; just the man to
send to congress from the best district
in the state.
Roosevelt made a mistake when he
1
told Bryan that he was afraid his elec-
tion might cause a panic. Bryan hit
him between the eyes when he replied
and told Teddy to devote his personal
attention to his own panic now wrapped
about every portion of the country. I

Cannon will pet Bollard's support. No
question about that.
Tmk republican machine has never
been so badly out of shape as at the
present time. It wont track; it blows
o f steam just at the steepest grade;
snorts at a standpatter in the west and
scares at a progressive in the east;
kicks the main plank out of the plat
form, mistaking it for something Bryan
has said; puts boys at the throttle, and
blows the whistle all the time.
The Journal owes an apology to its
patrons for being delayed so much this
week, but it was impossible for u to
help the matter in the least. Fvei ne
who has ever had anything to do with a
gasoline engine knows that when on
least expect it or want it to it actn;. "
And that has beer the matter with the
Journal our engine has been contrary
all week and refused to do duty only
when it felt like it.
Among the campaign jokes going
around now is one peddled by the man
who offers to bet 10 to 1 that if Bryan
is elected the banks will be closed four
months after his inauguration. Too
true or too false all depending upon
whether the man running the Lank
cares to do business on July 4. Figure
it out and you will find that just four
months after Mr. Bryan shall have
been inaugurated the legal holiday in
commemoration of the declaration of
independence will be upon us, and the
banks, following a custom which even
republican prosperity has failed to shat
ter, will be closed.
There is another very important
matter connected with the choice of
president and one the omnion people
are more vitally interested in than al
most anyother; that is the U. S. Su
preme court. Hughes in one of his
speeches in the East warned the trusts
that, more than likely, there would be
4 vacancies to be filled on the supreme
court bench by the next president, and
said how important it is to you that
Taft shall fill the vacancies. Vhey are
always keeping watch as to who shall
be selected for judges. Yes, that is
their citadel, to which they fly for help
when an outraged people get after
them. We say to you that it is of the
utmost importance that Bryan shall fill
those vacancies when they occur; then
you will get justice when you have a
suit against a trust corporation.
M. A. Bates, candidate for Float Rep
resentative, is considerably handicapped
in the campaign at the present time
by the serious illness of his son, R. A.,
who is manager of the Journal. He was
taken ill last Saturday from ulceration
of the bowels, and has been confined to
his bed ever since, and brobably will be
for several days yet. His illness necessi
tates the remaining at home of the
Colonel to look after the business of the
the office during the confinement of his
son. Mr. Bates expected to visit sever
al sections of Ctoe and Cass counties
this week, and we hope his friends will
fully understand the situation in which
he is placed. If hi3 son is so that he
can attend' to the business of the office
next week, the Colonel hopes to see as
many of his friends as possible before
the election.

The Ccv;s IVill Go Cry.
i
n now the advocates of Taft and the
I trusts are going to
have all the cows
quit ivini mwk in case Bryan sha
be !
elected, says the Columbus Telegrtm. j
A trust manufacturer of cream separ- 1
ators in Indiana lias discharged his work-
men, closed his factory, and declares j
that it will not open again if Bryan shall i
win the election. They told Mr. Bryan

had all kinds of fun with the trust man
ufacturer. He said he had heard that
the republican party made the sun shine,
made the rain fall, made the corn grow
and the wheat to ripen, but this was the
first time he had heard that the repub
lican party had the power to make the
cows get fresh and give more milk un
der a republican than under a democratic
president.
It is indeed strange that a great po-
licical party will resort to such silly
argument, and stranger still that so
many men of ordinary sense will accept
sich arguments. There was a time
when the republican party stood tor
certain well-defined principles, and had
for leaders men who sought to have ap-
pi ed in affairs of government j rlnciples
which meant something for the welfare
of the people. But that d;iy is past.
Today the republican party draws all
its inspiration and all its money from
the great trust organizations, which in
return for the money they give demand
legislation to enable them to rob the
publlC'
As an advocate of the election of Mr.
Bryan, no effort shall be made by this
paper to prove that he has anything
to do with making the sun shine or the
rain descend. We shall ..ot claim for
" i
fifty bushels per acre on the poorest
farm in Nebraska, and far be it from !
us to claim that in Bryan lies the ability .
to make the cows get fresh every time
he issues a prosperity proclamation
We shall leave all that business to Al
mighty God and the cows. We advocate
the election of Mr. Bryan on other
grounds. We want him elected because
we believe he will carry to the high
office of president a love for and devo
tion to principles of government which
will work the welfare of the American
people.
Republican Defeat.
Colonel Mortimer, the editorial writer
and war correspondent for Collier's
Weekly, says he sees nothing but defeat
for the republican party on November
3. He says:
"The country has never been confront
ed with a more peculiar political situa
tion than that presented by this cam
paign. This year, instead of being in
democratic ranks, the split is entirely
republican. Take New York state, for
instance; there the republicans are torn
asunder, while the democrats are a unit.
Chanler's election to the governorship
cannot be preveuted. You must remem
ber that when the Empire state gave
Hughes, a republican, a big majority for
governor, this man Chanler, a dyed-m-the-wool
democrat, was elected lieuten
ant governor by a majority of 7,000.
With Chanler heading the democratic
ticket this year, especially in the face
of the legislation of the anti-kind that
has characterized the Hughes adminis
tration, the extent of Chanler's victory
can hardly be estimated. To take an
other state, look at Ohio. I believe the
landslide in favor of the democrats in
the Buckeye state will be fully 50,000.

.Another issue in this campaign, the
importance of which is not being prop-
' i ctimaiPfl i Snraker Top Cannon
eriy estimated, is opertKer .ioe cannon,
, He is g(Ang to cost the republicans as
! many yotes as anything they have or
, haven,t done The people are tired of
his methods of disregarding every le-
gitimate demand, ana ne surrea up a
hornet's nest when he spoke of Mr.
Bryan's wealth. When the Nebraskan
came hack and agd the speaker for
an explanation of his (Cannon's) finan-
cial status, 'Uncle Joe' kept quiet, be-
cause it would have been impossible for
him to answer without doing himself
greater injury. Mr. Cannon has been
a national legislator for thifty-two
years at a salary of $5,000 a year. Had
he been as economical as a woodpecker
during all that time the most he could
have saved would have been $160,000.
Yet today his personal wealth runs up
to $6,000,000. 'Where did you get it,
Mr. Cannon?' is a querry that will
down the congressional czar for good.
In Nebraska, I hear from good author
ity, Joe Cannon owns 7,000 acres of
choice land. Think of what a keen and
shrewd man he must be to build up the
wealth he possesses on a salary of
$5,000.
Eastern republican papers have be
gun to speculate who will constitute
Bryan's cabinet. That is an admission
that his chances are good. They are
growing better daily and only one week
till election. The money is in evidence
now, but it is thought by well informed j
men that money cannot buy Taf t's elec-'
tion this time. j
W. C. Ramsey, as everybody knows,
is a young man who deserves success.
He was born in Plattsmouth, and never i
was a candidate for office, while his op
ponent has been a candidate so often
that the people are getting tired of see- !
ing his name on a ticket every time they ,
go to the polls to vote. Billy Ramsey'
J
is well qualified for the office of county ,
attorney, and the people know it, and
that is the reason they propose to elect
'
him on the 3rd day of November.

j Whex a republican begins to talk
( about the high price of corn to boost his
party, the democrat begins to talk about
; the low price of hogs to tear down the
argument. Mother Nature is responsi
ble for the high price of corn. She
didn't make the season favorable to the
growth of corn. Are we to understand
that when we sell our fat hogs at from
five to six cents, fattened on seventy
cent corn, send them to Omaha, where
they are killed and then sent back to us
in the shape of cured meats at from 18
to 25 cents per pound, we are sharing
the same prosperity as the meat com
bine? Have you thought about this,
Mr. Firmer?
You don't drive a nail that is not
tariff taxed. The window glass in your
windows, the teacups you drink from,
the water pitcher, the iron in your
stove, the griddle you bake your cakes
on, the knife and fork with which you
cut the beef you eat, the shroud in
which you bury your dead, the tomb
stone at the head of the grave, the
matches you burn, the needle with
which you stitch on a button and the
button itself are all tariff taxed. The
blanket if it be wool, pays a hundred
per cent. No human being escapes the
tariff tax. The tariff tax per capita in
this c untry has risen from $1.50 a
; hundred years ago to $12.50 tc- day.
Don't you think it is time to take a
I few dornicks from the top of the
tariff wall and give the consumers an
opportunity to see over?
