In sooth those "regular" Republi cans who have threatened to read out of the party all who do not regard the Payne-Aldrlch bill as a redemption of platform pledges bid fair to have a lonesome time of It in their party If they carry out the threat. :o: THE RF.VOLT IX IOWA. Victor Rosewater lost his Injunc tion suit In the umcaster county dis trict court, and as a result Secretary of State Junkin has been compelled to certify to county clerks all Democratic-Populists filings on the pay ment of a single fee. This la In line with Junkln's first opinion and the opinion of the attorney general. Rosewater managed to change the Junkln mind, but the court happen ed to have the last whack at the mind changing business, heme the Junkln mind took another flop back to the original opinion. In as much as Governor Sballenberger Is the only candidate for governor who filed on the Populist ticket, there is no con test on his nomination by that par ty. For this reason a great many Populist friends of Governor Shall enberger will vote the Democratic ticket at the primary In order to off Bet the extreme wet vote In the Re publican party which will go to Dahl-man. -:o:- tiik i;i:piiimcav "civil wail" New York Evening Post: The phrase Is Senator Cummin's. In his address at the Iowa Republican con vention yesterday ho spoke of the "clouds of civil war" that now hang over his party. He Instantly gave evidence of his readiness to wage this civil war In uncivil fashion, for In calling the roll of Republicans presidents and leaders, Including the names of Garfield, Hlalno and McKln ley, he deliberately omitted that of Taft. Ills motive for Inserting Blaine was possibly to dispel any calumny to the effect that he and his follow ers aro fastidious reformers. Hut the reflection on President Taft was as obvious as It was unprecedented. Even the unpopular Hayes used to get perfunctory Indorsements from Republican conventions. Not till this year of grace, prosperity and rancor has It been possible for Republicans In convention assembled to plan an Insult to their president, and to refer to him in their platform In a way al most to heighten tho offense. Sena tor Cummins was not so far wrong in speaking of a state of civil war within the party. Doth the Iowa senators are plainly bitter In their antagonism to Presi dent Taft. Some will maliciously ac count for this by pointing to that plank of the Iowa platform which asserts that the Republicans of that Btate are "the best Judges of the Re publicanism of their senators," and will resent "Buy attempt to exclude them from the honors and privi leges which properly attach to mem bership In tho Republican party." It will bo said that "honors and privi leges" can only mean a welcome at the white house and a full share of tho pntronago. Hut even If this Is true, It does not mend broken bones. The situation In the party remains ugly and threatening, no matter what brought It about. When the two senators from Iowa open war on the administration, with the. majority of the party In their Btate behind them repelling "all overtures for compro mise and harmony, It cannot be de nied that it Is a pretty serious thing for both the administration and the party. :o: cannot vote for candidates on both tickets. He need not vote all of a party ticket. He may vote for just one candidate or for two or such number as he desires. The Import ant thing to remember Is that you cannot vote for one candidate on one ticket and for another candidate on another ticket. You must stay by one ticket or your vote will be thrown out. The law says that a voter "upon presenting himself at the polling place where he Is entitled to vote shall receive an official ballot and shall then proceed to the voting booth and mark by placing a cross (X) op posite the name of the candidate he wishes to vote for, but all candidates voted for must appear In the same party column and should any voter vote for candidates In more than one column the ballot shall net be count ed." 5 ' The voter who would like to vote for certain candidates on the Demo cratlc ticket and for others on the Republican ticket will have to think the matter over and decide what Is most Important to him and the wel fare of the state in the campaign that Is now on. All young men who have become of age since the last registration day, October 5, 1909, are entitled to vote at the primary election to be held on August 16th. The above Instructions concerning voting at the primary election on Aug ust 16th, apply to all voters, w hether they live In the country or In cities or towns where revlstratlon Is re quired. :o: THE SWEEP OF JNSl'KUKXCY. PRIMARY INFORMATION FOR THE VOTERS. On primary day the voter will find all tickets and candidates on a large "blanket" ballot, the different party tickets being arranged In columns running from top to bottm, under the different party names. Under the "Open primary law now in force in Nebraska a voter may vote whatever ticket he wlshoe regardless of hln party affiliation. For example A voter who has affiliated with tho Republican party may vote the Dcm ocratlc ticket, or vice versa; but he The standpat Republicans have a good cause for alarm by reason of re cent events on the political horizon, it is quite evident that things are not going standpatward. The Nebraska Republican state convention failed to endorse the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill and passed a sweeping resolution fav oring Insurgency and denouncing Cannonlsm. The same course was taken by the South Dakota Republl can state convention. In Minnesota the Republicans, In convention as sembled, refused to endorse the Pay ne-Aldrlch bill, but did endorse the two senators and the representatives who voted against it. The Republican Btate convention of Indiana Ignored the tariff bill but endorsed Senator Beverldge, who opposed the measure. Coming down to later dates, the Iowa state convention, just held, was firm- ly controlled by the Insurgents, who branded the Payne-Aldrlch law a failure In the light of party peldges. An Insurgent landslide Btrucsk Kan sas on primary day, sweeping Gover nor Stubbs Into renomlnatlon over his standpat oponent, while six of the eight Republican congressman nomi nated are Insurgents. Thus far the only two states in the union that have given the Payne-Al drlch bill an unqualified endorsement In tho Republican state conventions are Pennslyvanla and Ohio both dominated by well oiled political ma chlne. Yet even la these states It cannot be said that there Is no insur gency. In Pennsylvania many thou sands of Insurgent Republicans will bolt the regular Republican nominee for governor and support the third ticket nominated by Independent Re publicans and Democrats, while tho close shave of Standpatter Dalzell for renomlnatlon In tho recent primaries shows that Republican congressional candidates who stand for the Cannon policies and all In Pennsylvania do will be heavily cut. In Ohio insur gency is rife though outnumbered among the Btate convention dele gates, as tho very lively boom for James R. Garfield for governor show ed. It Is conceded by the frank, even among the standpat Republicans, that Insurgency In Iowa, as revealed by the attitude of the convention, at Des Moines on Wednesday, takes on an aspect far more serious than In surgency In Kansas, or elsewhere so far. It has manifested Itself rather in the form of revolt than of pro test. It is arrayed not merely against certain political and partisan doctrines, but strikes at party lead ership and organization, Iowa Re publicanism, measured by the plat form adopted at the instance of the progressive majority, Is In some es sential respects Incompatable with national Republicanism, as the latter is understood generally today. Either the political views of the Iowa Re publican leaders must be adjusted by some means to the doctrines of the party as a whole, or the party as a whole must adjust Itself to the Iowa idea, if a split is to be avoided. The national party and the Iowa party are not now, in some Important re spects, standing for the same things at all. Iowa Insurgencw differs from the Insurgency of Kansas and of other states in that it assails and threat ens the continuance and very exist ence of policies which differentiate the Republican from the Democratic party. It Is almost impossible to see how insurgent representatives and senators from Iowa striving toy' ally to reflect the sentiment which dominated the Des Moines convention can align themselves In congress with the Republican organization on any leading proposition, unless indeed they shall succeed In bringing the organization Into sympathy with them. Before the votes are cast next No vember careful thought will be given by the rank and file of the Republl can party In Iowa to the consequences Involved In an unmodified indorse ment of the Des Moines attitude. In the meantime, also, the rest of the country will be seriously engaged in consideration of the subject. For the question to be decided In reality Is whether or not radicalism or con servatlsm shall finally prevail, and the Importance of arriving at a wise decision Is emphasized by the fact that interests of vast moment in the commercial world will be affected by It. :o: "AX A RSI' HI) STRAHIHiE." very things against which they are protesting? "An absurd straddle," says La Folletteof the Nebraska platform. And, In order to be perfectly con sistent, no doubt, the party will name Nebraska's famous "absurd Btrad dler," Mr. Burkett, to stand upon that platform as its candidate for senator. 1 Candidate and platform will then go well together. The platform is a half-and-half proposition. So is Mr. Burkett.

Those w ho failed to attend the reg ular session of Plattsmouth Council No. 123, Loyal Mystic Legion of America, missed a great treat in the way of refreshments prepared by the social committee of said council. It The Nebraska Republican conven tion which adopted a platform com mending Taft and the tariff, and then tacked a tall onto it commending the insurgents and insurgency, is being held up to scorn by the insur gent leaders of other states. T.TTl)es Moines Register and Lead er, the leading insurgent paper o. Iowa, says: If Iowa had followed the example of Minnesota and Nebraska there would have been an end of the in surgent movement." And Senator La Follette, ln the current number of his magazine, as sails the Nebraska Republican con vention with biting scorn, in these words: "The system Is fighting to save Itself. At present, control of the Republican party organization means control of tho government, hence It Is that the henchman of the system in national and state politics are resorting to all the methods of old line politics to keep the party ln powor. Tie system arranges a "fake" convention In Wisconsin, engineered In Washington and financed In Wall street. It Bends Speaker Cannon out to stump the state of Kansas. In the Ohio convention It turns down the Insurgent candidate for governor and praises the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law. In Nebraska It pursues the very Hume course, except for a cowcnnIoii to the vigorous proKieHslvenexs of the people of that mate In the form of an indorsement ot the Insurgents In rongi-c-KH. Note that! Indorsing Ntandpatlsm and Insui'nency in the sail ic breath! The system la surely driven to an absurd atrnddle But will such tactics "save the Republican party?"
