making a desperate effort to have
his nephew, G. W. Cheney, nom

Cass county for representative.
Hut we are of the opinion that
Mr. Cheney will have "a hard row
to hoe."

A terrible effort will be made
for the nominal ion of W. A. Sel

In Illinois Wood row Wilson,
speaking among Mr. Hryan's old
neighbors, declared that he had
voted for Hryan in tl08, but Will
Maupin has dug up a statement of
the Trenton, (N. J.) Times of
September 0, 1910,' which declares
lhal the records in the office of
Ihe county clerk at Trenton show
that h did not vote at a jn innq.

political doctrine of the unre
liability of the pre,, Lincoln
Star.
-:o :-
llmi. John A. Maguire will have
no opposition at the primary and
should have none at Ihe general
election. He has proved one of
the ablest members of congress
that ever went from Nebraska.
Mr. Maguire is a true rep
resentative of the people and has
proved so by a strict attention to
his duties at Washington.
:o:
Democrats who want to carry
Nebraska this year must see that
a known business democrat heads
the state ticket. Mr. Morehead
is such a man, and will command
a strong vote among business
people generally and in using the
word business people we mean afl
classes of men. One need only
visit southeastern Nebraska to
realize bow strong a candidate
he really will be. Hastings
Democrat.

The Herald desires to call at
tention of the democrats of this
congressional district, and of
Lancaster county in particular, to
the name of W. D. Wheeler on the
ballot, for district delegate to the
national convention. "Hilly"
Wheeler is one of Cass county's
best citizens, served that county
two terms as sheriff, two terms as
treasurer and is devoting his at
tention to farming. He speaks the
right language and always and at
all limes handles the right dope
the square deal. Lincoln Herald.
':o:
Remember that when you vote
for Senator 0. M. Hitchock for
delegate-at-large to Ihe Haiti-
more convention, you are voting
for a man N who will truly rep
resent Ihe democrats of Nebraska.
He is not so prejudiced against
any candidate for president that
ho will not vote for the candidate
the democratic voters so instruct
him to do. .He feels grateful.pto
the democrats and desires lo abide
by their decision at the polls next
Friday, and he will do it. That is
Senator Hitchcock.
:o:-
This has been the hottest cam
paign with both parties in the his
tory of Nebraska. Staunch
lriends of the past have divided
on the matter of presidential can
didates, and in some instances
have become rather bitter against
one another. This feeling may
all pass away after the primaries,
and it may not, but it is a fore
gone conclusion, so far as the
democrats are concerned, that it
will be a hard matter to har
monize "Ihe rule or ruin" element
if the primaries do not result ac
cording to their way of thinking.
-:o:
No one can dispute Champ
Clark's reliability as a democrat.
Nor as to his ability to serve as
president of the Uniled States.
There is none of the opposing
candidates or any of their friends
that ran oppose him, if nomin
ated, because of any of his acts
in public. He is as straight as
a shingle and as honest as the
day is long, and stands for tfie
common people, In congress and
out, and always has. We like him
because we know him and know
his many excellent qualities. No
one can offer the least excuse
for not supporting him in the
primaries, only that they desire lo
support one of the others thal
all.
-:o:
J. F. Walsh of Humboldt is a
candidate for delegate to the
Hallimore convention from the
First congressional district. Mr.
Walsh deserves the support of
every democrat in the district, and
those who vote for him next Fri
day can depend upon him voting
as Ihe people instruct. He is a
democrat dyed-in-the-wool, and
one of (he most prominent
citizens of Richardson county,
where he is much respected for
his many excellent qualities.
Don't fail to give Mr. Walsh your
support for delegate on next Fri
day. :o:
A PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT.
Will Maupin's W eekly of Lin
coln, in speaking of the candid
acy of Hon John II. Morehead for
governor, pays the following trib
ute to that most elegant gentle
man, able and reliable citizen,
whose record stands out so bold
ly as one who is so well fitted for
the position of chief executive of
Nebraska:
John H. Morehead is a progres
sive democrat progressive in the
broadest interpretation of that
term. His personal platform is
a frank, concise statement upon
the questions now most vitally
concerning the people of the state.
He stands for those reforms that
are based upon common sense.
He is not the candidate of any
faction, nor is he in any wise
bound up with interests inimical
to the welfare of the whole peo
ple. John H. Morehead is today
as free from the control of any
faction or special interest as any
man that ever stood for the
gubernatorial nomination. His
life's record will refute any charge
that he is not a free agent, save
as he is bound by honor to act as
the agent of the whole people. He
believes that the man who is
elected governor owes his entire
time to the state and should re
main on duty all Ihe time. If
nominated and elected he will act
according lo this belief.
In the humble judgment of this
newspaper it would benefit the
people of Nebraska far more to
bring about a few reforms in state
government through the election
of a man like John H. Morehead,
than it would to elect this man or
that man president of the United
States. We of Nebraska have
given all of our attention to na
tional politics for so long that we
have come mighty close lo over
looking the necessity of paying
some attention to stale issues.
CHAMP CLARK'S TURN.
" During the coming week more
is to be heard iii Nebraska about
the. presidential candidacy of
Champ Clark than has been heard
heretofore. There is something
alluring about the candidacy of
this grand old man from Missouri
who has ilone so much to foster
popular legislation in the lower
house of congress. Alluring not
only because of his thoroughly
democratic sympathies, as mani
fested during his twenty years in
congress, but because of the fact
that he is the one candidate men
tioned for democratic leadership
who has no threatening hostility
in his own party to overcome.
Clark has not only united the rep
resentation of hts party in con
gress, but upon every measure
devised for the popular relief
from excessive tariff taxation and
for Ihe reform of procedure in the
house he has enlisted the hearty
support of progressive repub
licans. In all his career Champ Clark
has never been found opposed to
any measure that is now
recognized as progressive. Al
ways a loyal party man, . the
democracy that has been the in
spiration of his course has been
not so much partisan as personal.
He is impulsively a democrat in
the sense that he has no sym
pathy for aristocracy.
Clark's nomination would re
lieve his parly of the internal light
that is sure to arise from the
nomination of either Harmon or
Wilson. There is reason to fear
that the nomination of either of
the two gentlemen named would
precipitate heavy losses to the
parly. Here in Nebraska Ihe lure
of Clark's nomination is strong.
Mr. Hryan has pubjicly slated
that he would support Clark were
the latter the nominee. There is
no Harmon man who will not wil
lingly say that he will gladly sup
port the Missourian should he get
the nomination. Those whose
first choice is Wilson do not hesi
tate to declare their love for
Champ Clark.

who is seccnid choice of two
hostile factions is entitled to be
first choice of both.
Those whose hostility to Mr.
Hryan has reached almost the
point of hatred are the exponents
of Harmon, and those whose
hatred of those who hate Bryan
constitute the championship of
Wilson in this state. Hehind all
the superficial discussion of pro
gressive and reactionary democ
racy is the paramount question of
allegiance or opposition to Bryan.
It is bitterer in this state than in
any other, and therein lies the
wisdom of adopting such a course
as will abate this threatening
hostility.
A Champ Clark delegation to
the national convention would re
lieve the local situation of the
sting that must accompany the
selection of a delegation for any-
other rhan now being mentioned.
This is the view that seems likely
o add impetus during the coming
week to the cause of the speaker
of the house of representatives.
The conviction that Clark may
not be able to carry certain states
necessary for victory in the' na
tional campaign has been sorely
shaken by the result in Illinois,
where Clark in the primary re
ceived within 42,000 as many
votes as were given Mr. Bryan in
a national campaign. Lincoln

How to Vote.
There are many people who will
go into the voting booths on Fri
day next and not know how to
vote. They do not know who will
represent their interests. There
are two if not three factions in
the democratic party in this state,
and each is trying to secure the
delegation favorable to their can
didate. If you desier to vote for
Woodrow Wilson or Champ Clark
vote for the following delegates at
large:
GEORGE L. LOOMIS.
WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
I. J. DUNN.
W. II. WESTOVER.
If you favor the nomination of
Governor Harmon for president
you should vote for
FRED VOLPP.
GILBERT M. HITCHCOCK.
TOM W. SMITH.
Mr. Hitchcock has staled that
he will abide by the primary law
and vote for the man the demo
crats of Nebraska endorse. He
believes in permitting the people
lo rule. Mr. Bryan has an
nounced that under no circum
stances will he vote for Harmon,
but will resign, if elected, and
fight him to the end.
