The Lincoln Journal is pro
llcient in one thing at least in its
ndeavor to keep alive the bitter
feeling between democratic lead
ers. It is always ready lo "adc
fuel to the flames" and is only
too glad to do so when opportunity
affords.
:o:-
The Journal regrets that
Arthur Mullen, manager of the
Clark campaign In Nebraska, has
resorted lo such methods as he
has to gain votes for Champ
Clark. His letter is not of that
kind of literature as is calculated
to pacify certain elements of th
democratic parly in this slate

these columns we have endeavor
ed to treat all the presidential
candidates the same, and have
given no expression that anyone
could tell where we stood on the
matter. And we do not believe
that it is right for a newspaper
lo give such expressions where
there are three candidates run
ning, either one of whom is liable
to receive the nomination. The
Journal does not believe that
Speaker Clark endorses Arthur
Mullens mode of campaigning, It
is not good for the parly and we
do not believe that any campaign
manager is pursuing tho proper
course when he so bitterly an
tagonizes Ihe friends of the op
posing candidates. Speaker
Clark is a good man, and no one
knows this better than wo do, but
we do not believe thcuiothods
adopted by Mullen are calculated
lo help matters in the interests
of harmony, even when tho mat
ters are set I led and Mr. Clark
should he carry Nebraska and
finally land the nomination
"Harmony, by all means," should

:o:
When a man runs for an ollice
on the democratic ticket he should"
consult even his own mind be
fore he is so sure that he has a
right to go upon that ticket. We
like to support true democrats,
and nothing gives us greater
pleasure, and a candidate who
cannot fill the bill has his gall
with him when ho asks honest
democrats to support him.
:o:
After fighting democratic bat
tles for fifty years it makes a man
almost feel like all efforts in that
direction was time lost when he
views the condition of the party
in Nebraska. And what makes
the condition so much worse is
that our own party friends are to
blame for such a stale of affairs.
Men who profess to bo leaders and
managers of the campaigns for
several presidential candidates
All of these troubles occurring at
a time when the party stood its
best show of carrying the stale.
There has been too much bad
feeling engendered, and the men
who ought to be the last ones to
create such discord among demo
crats will be to blame if the party
is defeated in Nebraska this fall.
e ;o:
The slogan of democrats should
be down with the bosses and
"let the people rule." That is
where the true principles of demo.
cracy come in.

Congress has passed the bill
for the Children's bureau. II is
al last recognized that even the

:o:
The difference between ft demo
crat and a republican is this: A
republican will not speak until he
hears from the leaders. A deinTi
crat will let the leaders hear from
him. Fairbury Journal.
:o:
The old tradition that "if it
rains on Faster Sunday it will
rain for seven Sundays in succes
sion," is a safe proposition in this
section. No one Would desire a
prettier day than last Sunday.
:o:
As economy is the skeleton in
the congressional closet which
.hould not be alluded to in pub
lic, we are surprised that Presi
dent Taft has preaperd another
message on this distressing sub
Jcct.
THE MAN FOR GOVERNOR.
Hon. John II. Morehead, demo
crai candidate ror governor, in
his published platform, says:
"For nearly thirty years I have
been actively engaged in business
in Nebraska, participating in the
development of the state as a
farmer, stock raiser, gen'erafier
chant and country banker.. I have

fairs, having held various offices,
among these county treasurer,
mayor of Falls City and state sen
ator. "I invite careful investigation
and inquiry among my neighbors
and business associates in Rich
ardson county, with whom I have
been intimately associated for
twenty-seven years, as to my in
tegrity, character and ability. I
am willing to submit my case on
what they say. ' "
"My varied business experience
las brought me In close touch
with all classes of people. I am
in thorough sympathy with the
buisness interests of Nebraska;
chief among these are farming
and stock raising, and in which I
am si ill principally engaged."
This is u frank, manly position
Mr. Morehead has taken ready
and willing to stand or fall by
what his neighbors say; people
who have known, associated tand
dealt with him for more tlian a
quarter of a century. Thereyare
evidently no skeletons in I his
closet; he has always been clean,
upright and generous, as he is
today. As to ability, his splendid!
success, commencing at the bot
tom as he did is the strongest
testimonial one could have, jt is
a waste of words and energy to
string out in eulogy when kfly
character stands out so fair 'and
bright. :

pany, at the time you were a
servant of the people (?; in the
egislature?
i. Is it not a fad that you put
in nome fifteen years as a lawyer
lobbyist for divers corporations,
which practice is now prohibited
by law?

ice corporations to members of
legislature, as being bribes?

railroads while serving as a mem
ber of the Nebraska legislature?

That is what tho democratic party
will do if it elects a congress and
a president, whether that presi
dent be Harmon or Wilson or
Clark. These are the things that
are important, and these are the
things the party will accomplish
if it does not, by its own foolish
ness, defeat its own purpose by
discrediting in advance its can
didates.
After Ihe Baltimore convention
all good deinocralc will be to
gether. Every good democrat
should be striving now, not to
make it as hard as possible, but
as easy as possible, to get to
gether and fight together after
the candidate is named. World-Herald.

AFTER THE CONVENTION.
The World-Herald has given
space to a lengthy statement from
Arthur F. Mullen, manager of the
Champ Clark campaign in this
state, addressed "To the Demo
crats of Nebraska." The letter is
devoted chielly to criticism of the
opposing candidates, Governor
Harmon and Governor Wilson.
It is to be regretted that the
Clark management feels it neces
sary to become a party to a cam
paign of recrimination. It is. lo
be regrelted, in fact, that so many
eminent democrats seem to forget
that after the Nebraska primaries
comes the Baltimore convention,
and after the convention the long,
hard light for the election of the
democratic nominee.
Champ Clark may bo nominated
at Baltimore. Stranger things
than that have happened in
politics. If he is, will ho be any
stronger in the campaign for all
the harsh and unkind things his
support era are saying now about
Ihe other candidates? Will it tend
to make those democrats who had
supported. Harmon, and Wilson,
any more zealous and enthusi
astic in his behalf? s
Suppose Wilson is nominated,
after his friends, from ocean lo
ocean, have spent months in de
nouncing not only Harmon and
Clark, but the supporters of
Harmon and Clark? In the
great states which the democratic
nominee must carry lo win Har
moil and Clark have multitudes of
warm friends. Will their sup
port, alter uiey nave boon
maligned for so long, go out
warmly and spontaneously to
Wilson?
The World-Herald deprecates
Ibis method of campaigning. The
democratic parly ought to gain
control of (he federal government
in order that it may reduce (ho
tariff, prosecute illegal corpora
lions and regulate those that are
legal, strike at special privilege
wherever it rears its ugly head
and give this nation an economi
cal and elllcient government.

Frank S. Brinkman, Eleventh
street, Plattsmouth, Neb., says:
I can vouch for Doan's Kidney
Pills, knowing theni to bo a good
kidney remedy. My back at times
became so lame that the simplest
movement was distressing, and I
had frequent headaches and
dizzy spells that caused me no
end of annoyance. Mornings on
arising I could hardly drag my
self about. In spite of the many
remedies I tried, I found no relief
until finally I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Rynott
