Inasmuch as but a small per cent of
the republican candidates for congress
in the country are opposed to Cannon
it is a self-evident fact th:U the op posi
tion to him amounts to nothing unless
his enemies will refuse to be bound by
a caucus declaration for him.
This is pretty well understood by the
voters of the state and those congress
men who seek to make themselves
square with their constitue nts by simply
promising to foreswear Cannon in the
caucus are not likely to ga.n many
votes that way.

Says tr. Bryan is Right on Every
Ccniested Qyesticn.
Before a magnificent audience at
Albany, N. Y. last night ex-senator
David B. Hill came out strong for
Bryan for president and delivered a
thrilling and telling speech of introduc
tion in which he hit the republican can
didate some telling blows as well as
giving to Mr. Bryan a great tribute as
j to his righteousness in this campaign.
j It is a splendid and deserved enconium
lil V! . 5
to ine ureat i ommor.er. l.eiow is
what Senator Hill says:
"Our candidate owes hisnornination
not to any one man, nor any set of
men, but only to the people themselves.
If elected, he wiil he the president
himself, and not a dummy for any
man.
"He will not be led around with a
string like a great caged bear."
Ex-Senator Hill, referring to the re
publican charge that a panic would
follow Mr. Bryan's election, declared
that it would not be a business panic,
"but it would be a panic on the part
of the hundreds and thousands of feder
al officeholders and public officials who
will have to surrender their places to
the victorious party."
He concluded his enconium of Mr.
Bryan by saying that "our candidate
is your friend. He is my friend. He
is the friend of the people. He has
been the courageous, sincere and con
stant friend of labor ever since he has
been in public life. He is as incorrup
tible as he is brave, and he can neither
be purchased nor intimidated. "
Read this and ponder on it. Every
word is true and the courageous, sin-
attendance is greater as the end of the cere and constant friend of labor will
lease comes in sight and the public I be the next president and Nebraska
arguments of tr.e I will ta.Ke its proper place among the
I homes of the nation's executives.

which occupied yesterday after
