From reports from various sections
of the state, It would seem that the
Republicans are really split wider
open than the Democrats on state Is
sues. And then the tariff is another
great question which is dividing the
Republican party.
:o:
The people know JuHt whore to
find Congressman Magulre on the
tariff question. He is not trying to
shirk, but stands square against the
nefarious bill which Durkett Is try
ing so hard In a way to defend.
:o:
' Confine yourself to the text, Mr
Durkett, confine yourself to the text
The people want you to explain your
record in the senate on the Aldrlch
l'ayne tariff law. Stand up like i
little man and don't try to shirk the
truth.
:o:
The treasury department says that
the tariff Is responsible for the gen
cral prosperity that prevails. Now
there you are. First, we must be
shown the general prosperity. There
Is no doubt as to the responsibility
cf tho tariff.

James C. Dahlman's magnanimity
and friendship In the past to political
aspirations Is now being fully repaid
by thoso who should not bo soon for
net his allegiance to party and those
whom he took such pride In support
Ing. Past friendship should not be
so easily forgotten.
:o:
Don't let Republican candidates for
the legislature try to hoodwink you
on the county option question. The
Republican state platform Is out and
out for county option, and every Ro
publican candidate in Otoe and Cass
counties Is pladged to vote a coun
ty option measure.
:o:
It will take all the Republican
leaders and a large portion of the
Democrats to beat Jim Dahlraan, and
then we doubt Its accomplishment.
Some people are so egotistical as to
believe that when they bolt a nomi
nation It means hundreds of follow
ers. Rut are they disappointed when
they wake up and find that their
Influence has extended but a very
few feet beyond their own thresh

The Fremont Herald says: "The
farmer who will spend one dollar
and fifty cents an acre In the con
struction o fa modern highway will
Immediately realize an Inc-ease from
ten to twenty-five dollars an acre to
the value of bis land, In addition to
the great saving In the cost of trans
portation, and the value of having an
accessible market every day in the
year. Until farmers recognize the
difference between a wise business
Investment of that kind and the ex
treme folly o? paying tribute from
their net earnings to maintain mud
roads, the highways of Nebraska will
not be Improved." These suggestions
are far reaching.

Ki:( W.I) OF CIIKHTKIl A. ALimiC'H
enate a little more ti.an tbrte years
o. To be exact, It was taken on
February 11, 11 0 7 .
Whoever heard of Chester H. Ald-
kh advocating county option or pro
hibition even, since that vote, until he
thought he saw a chance to slide into
the governorship chair on that 1s-
ue; wasni county option just as
much a moral Issue when Aldrlch
oted against it in the state senate
February 11, 1907, as Is In the Re
publican state platform In 1910, and
upon which the gentleman from But
ler county seeks to be elected gov
ernor?
:o:
THK PFOPLK 1IAVK MKMOItlES.
Chester A. Aldrlch la the Republi
can candidate for governor on a plat
form for county option. Some par
tlsans of this candidate claim that
Aldrlch has always been for county
option, while many charge that Mr.
Aldrlch, when senator from Butler
county, In' 1907, voted1 against county
option. The Journal has looked up
the Senate Journal for that session
of the legislature and on pages 416
and 417 finds the following record
"Mr. President: Your conunltUe
of the whole have had under consld
eration, senate file No. 128. A bill
for an act to provide and establish a
Nystein of local option by counties
on the question of granting license to
sell Intoxicating liquors to be uwl as
beverage. And report the same
bak to the senate with the recom
mendation, Indefinitely postponed.
B. F. Thomas, Chairman."
Mr. Thomas moved that the report
of the committee of the whole be
adopted. Mr. Sackett offerred the
following amendment:
"Mr, President: I move that the
report of the committee of the whole
on Ncnate file No. 12H be not con
curred In, and the bill be placed on
general file. H. L. Sackett.
And demand a roll call. The sec
retary called the roll and those vot
ing In the affirmative were: Messrs.
Glover, Goodrich, Hanna, Holbrook,
King, Luce, O'Connell, Fatrlck, Phil
lips, Sackett, Wilcox (11.)
Those voting in the negative were:
Messrs. AI.DltlCH, Ashton Buck,
Burns, (Lancaster), Byrnes, (Platte),
Clarke, (Dodaon, Epperson, Oould,
Latta, McKeesaon, Dandall, Root
Saunders, Sibley, Thomas, Thomson,
Thome, Wllsey, (Frontier), Wilson
(20.)
A majority not having voted In the
affirmative, the president declared
the motion of Mr. Sackett not agreed
to. The vote now recurred on the
original motion to adopt the report of
the committee of the whole to inde
finitely postpone, which was agreed
to."
The foregoing record Bhows that
would-bo Governor Aldrlch, In 1907
was so opposed to county option that
he even voted against placing the
bill for county option on general file
for final passage.
And It will bo observed that by
his vote BRalnst county option, Aid
rich led the nlncteeu senators who
voted with him.
This vote was taken In the state
Theodore Roosevelt may, in his
egotism, believe that his spectacular
antics will not disturb the sober sec
ond thought, as well as the memory,
of the American people. It Is con
ceded by the Republican papers that
Roosevelt Is building a way over
which he again intends to enter ac
tive politics. Some of the things he
is doing and saying these days will
n unexpected moments of the future
return to disturb his repose.
The episode of his meeting and
clasping hands with George B. Cox
and his two lieutenants, Garry Her
man and Rud Hynlcks, the corrupt
triumvirate of Ohio, is significant.
The people have not forgotten that in
1905 President Taft, then secretary
of war, was sent to Akron by Presi
dent Roosevelt to denounce Cox and
his methods and those allied with his
rotten political machine. Roosevelt
has chosen to forget the Insults heap
ed upon him at that time by Cox.
The beautiful and virtuous refusal
of the mighty one to meet Lorlmer of
Illinois, because of his record of cor
ruptlon, becomes a political Illusion
after the descenslon to the level of
Cox.
The public will not forget Roose
velt's almost Insulting letter to Bry
an denouncing him for advocating the
publishing of campaign contributions
before election. Now the vociferous
one has extolled the virtues of pub
licity before election to the people of
the great west as a newly discovered
Rooseveltlan theory for political re
generation. :o:
properly represented in the state sen
ate will vote for the re-election of
Hon. W. B. Banning. They know-
he served thera faithfully In the last
session and he will do it again. He
is no fanatic on any question, but
possesses ttie gooa common sense
judgment to govern his actions. Ban
ning should and will be re-elected.
President Taft In his letter, while
he does not come out squarely for
ship subsidy, evidently means It when
he says: "Vote for Republican con
gressmen who are in favor of meas
ures to promote the merchant marine
engaged In foreign service." And in
doing this he has added to the w eight
that the standpat congressmen have
to carry on their shoulders in the
campaign Just beginning.
:o:
George I. Wright, candidate for
governor on the prohibition ticket,
has tendered his resignation to the
state central committee. The "water
wagon" people will fall In line and
work for the candidacy of Chester H.
Aldrlch, the Republican candidate
who represents the same principles
as the dry party does. Nebraska
City Press. This Is indeed consist
ency with a vengence. The real
temperance candidate for governor
pulling off to assist a candidate who
less than four years ago was a dyed-in-the-wool
anti-county optlonlst, and
done all in his power to kill a coun
ty option measure Introduced In the
senate.

If he should cross over into Wis
consin to say a word for that splend
dld reformer, Senator La Follette, he
would find that the La Follette tick
et led by anti-county option men, with
the militant insurgent Republicanism
of that state Just as overwhelmingly
opposed to county option as Is the
progressive Democracy of Nebraska.
Neither the Democrats nor the Re
publicans of these and other states
are anxious to turn over their govern
ment to the tender mercies of the
"liquor trust." They have simply de
cided that the local self-government
theory, or local option, offers a bet
ter solution for the liquor evil than
does the prohibitory or sumptuary
theory, and have declared themselves
accordingly.

elections and primaries. The flippant
assurance of yore is absent and the
organ admits that "developments of
the past few months' have "all re
vealed unsatisfactory and unpromis
ing condition! in the Republican par
ty." It wishes now that there were
some assurance that the Democrats
will not secure a majority of the next

but "unfortunately," as the paper j Three half sections in Morlll county,

Democracy for a national leader.

Secretary Wilson who la also mak
lng speeches in defense of the Payne
Aldrlch tariff, seems determined to
hang on, be it ever so painful.
:o:
Speaker Canno in a statement
yesterday, declares that the tariff
"needs no defense." And, come to
think of it, the defense has seemed
rather superfluous.
:o:
If you want prohibition vote for the

:o:
It Is about time the Democratic
state organization was getting
move on themselves. Only about six
weeks till election, and nothing of
any consequence accomplished.
:o:
The election returns from Maine
made the postmasters turn pale with
fear of 1912. Well, they have run
political matters long enough and
have brought about such a direful
condition that the people are going to
give thera a deserved rest.
:o:
When a candidate is opposed by
the Republican party and a large
portion of his own party, it would
seem that Mayor Dahlman would
have a "hard row to hoe." But he
does not Bceni in the least dlscour
aged, and keeps on hoeing with a
will that certainly ought to bring
forth success.

puts it, "no such assurance can be

The Democrats of Nebraska, as the
blows of honored leaders rain upon
their "bloody but unbowed" heads,
have the melancholy satisfaction of
knowing that they are no worse oft
than the Democrats of other states.
As Mr. Bryan goes into Missouri,
Iowa, Kansas, Indiana and Illinois
to Bpend a month aiding Democratic
candidates in those states his steps
will seldom fall In Democratic terri
tory which is not opposed to either
county option or state prohibition,
In Iowa Mr. Bryan will campaign
among Democrats who have declared,
In their state platform, for local op
tlon as opposed to county option, or
the "mulct law."
In Indiana he will campaign among
Democrats who are pledged, in their
state platform, to a repeal of the
present county option law which was
passed by a Republican legislature
and signed by a Republican governor,
but which this year's Republican
platform refused even to commend.
In Illinois he will campaign among
Democrats who are committed to lo
cal option.
In Missouri, it is true, he will be
campaigning among Democrats who
are standing for the present county
option law as opposed to statewide
prohibition, which the Anti-Saloon
league is pressing. But it should be
remembered that in Missouri the
county option law does not apply to
any town of 3,000 population or
over.
If Mr. Bryan should go to Minne
sota he would find the Democratic
state platform almost identical with
the Nebraska Democratic platform
pledging a Btrlct enforcement of ex
isting laws till county option could
be voted on under the initiative and
