Well, ask Billy. And we don't think their Is any "bet ter prospects this year than Inst. Radical Republicans do not like such independent Republican papers as the Lincoln Star and State Capi tol, whose editors have the man hood to oppose their party's wrongs. They are fearless in ex pressing their opinions on all ques tions, hitting Republicans where wrong and Democrats where wrong and commending them when right. The hide-bound aditor of the Omaha Bee don't like to hear Republican papers commending Democrats, but that makes but little difference to the Star and Capitol editors. Andy Hawrick spent a few hours last evening and this morning In Pacific Junction, returning to this city on No. 15. J ENDS LIFE IN HOTEL OFFICE Young Man Takes Poison and Dies in Presence of Guests.

The fol ic wlnh i4 the platform adopted: We, the Democrats of Nebraska In state convention assembled, reaf firm our faith In and pledge our loyalty to the principles of our party as set forth In the platform adopted by the Democratic convention of 1908. We denounce the Republican tar iff bill as a shameless consummation of the fraud deliberately planned by the Republican leaders when they promised revision Instead of reduc tion; and we call attention to the fact that it confesses the truth of all that the Democrats have charged as to the system. We call" special attention to the fact that one plank contained in both the Democratic 6tate and national platforms for 1908, namely, the plank demanding a constitutional amendment specifically endorsing the Income tax, has since been accepted by a Republican president, Benate and house of representatives and that such amendment has been sub mitted to the states for ratification. We pledge the Democratic party In Nebraska to assist in securing ratification of that amendment and to that end we ask Governor Shal lenberger to call a special' session of the legislature at an early day, that Nebraska, a pioneer in the advocacy of an income tax, may have the honor of being the first state to ratify the amendment. We particularly endorse the pro position that the United States sena tors be elected by popular vote. Present day conditions In the sen ate emphasize the Importance of this reform. Believing that the people Tiave a right to what they want In govern ment we favor the submission at the next session of the legislature of a constitutional amendment providing for the initiative and referendum. Reasserting our purpose to give the people of the state of Nebras ka a guarantee of bank deposits law, we call attention to the fact that suspension of that law by the federal court emphoslzes the position taken by the Democratic party of Nebras ka in its 1908 platform when It fav ored the enactment of such laws as may be necessary to compel corpora tions to submit their legal disputes to the courts of the states In whlci. they do business before taking an appeal to the United States courts. We endorse the successful busi ness administration of the Democra tic governor and commend the gov ernor and a Democratic legislature for enactment of specific Democra tic platform pledges Into law. SALE! the next Preserving Kettles, sold for $1.25, now: 61C Kice Hoilers, sold tor $1.00, now 7ic Meat Roasters, only 4;,c CUTTLERY ! high grade Knives at. at 39c 19c The Democracy of Nebraska, how ever, directs the attention of all good citizens to the fact that the state election to be held this fall is for the purpose of choosing three Judges of the Bupreme ccurt and three regents of the university. No other offices are involved. The Democratic party through ila legislature and governor sought to lift these positions of great trust out of the hands of professional poli ticians, to raise them above the reach of the Interests such politi cians serve and place them perman ently and securely on a non-partisan and dignity out of the embroilment basis. Hut the Republican party held otherwise. It assailed the non-partisan Judiciary law. Through its state organization it arranged surreptitiously for a palpa bly insincere but successful attack upon It. We submit that this presents an issue of great and far renchlng im portance. We are coming to be more and more a people governed by our courts. The courts are the bulwarks of our liberties, as well as the harbor to which special privi lege flees in every storm, and the in strumentalities through which It as serts, with growing arrogance, its power to defy the people's legisla tures and the people's executives. There never was a time when the necsslty for keeping courts Invested with or asserting extraordinary powers on a plnne above suspicion or repronch, presented itself more forcefully than it docs now. We urge the people of this com-. monwenlth to take this question home with them. We urgo upon them thnt the issuo In the state election Is one, not of party or of platform, but of men. We urgo all NeofDBKans, :r. voting for Bupreme Judges and for regents to lay aside pnrty prejudice and tics. We hope no Democrat will vote for a candidate for either of tlieso of fices merely because the candidate Is a Democrat, and that no Republi can will vote for such a candidate because he Is a Republican. We urge each and every voter of nil parties to vote for the man when he goes to the box this fall, and not for the party label. Resolved that we urte the Demo cratic members of congress and those from Nebraska, especially to use their best efforts to secure as speedy a completion as possible of the government ditch project now, but partly completed In western Ne braska, assuring those settlers who have homesteaded lands under said project that the government will keep good faith with them and that right soon. :o: George Mattlson of South Hend, one of the early settlers, Is In the city today attending the reunion and meeting aged friends. n Kllnqeir
