An Oklahoma man, who was

not become popular because a

Mr. Mryan staled in an address
recently in Lincoln that he "be
lieved if lloosevell failed to re
ceive the republican nomination
al Chicago he would pull his dele
gates from thai convention and J
organize one that would nominate
him." This would ho in accord
ance witli Toddy's "rule or ruin"
spirit.
Mr. lloosevelt says: "There is
just one candidate w horn it is pos
sible to nominate against the
bosses and that is myself." Well,
what do you think of thai?
"Against the bosses" and with

One reason why llvo-mi.nute

nals the chauffeur lo run for the

:o :
Mr. IV L. Hall, member of the
national democratic committee, is
the proper person to arrange for
a special train for the Nebraska
delegation lo the Haltimore con
vention, and the only one who has
the proper authority lo do so. We
thought so at the time some other
bluster bugs were blustering
around lo lake this authority out
or the hands of Mr. Hall. The
slate delegation and all other
democrats who desire to attend
Ihe Itallimoro convention should
support Ihe proper authority, and
let Richmond and his gang walk
if they don't like the manner or
procedure by Mr. Hall.
:o :
The democrats of Nebraska, as
a parly, would faro a great deal
belter if Ihey would cast out a few
of Ihe hangers-on, who are always
pushing themselves to the front
in every gal boring of note that is
held. These fellow s are not demo
crats only so far as their own
selfish designs nro Concerned.
They neer do anything for the
party unless they are well paid
for it. Throw such fellows out,
sit down hard and plenty upon
them; gii
them to understand
that they are not the kind "f
democrats that goes to make up a
harmonious organization. Do this
and we will have such an or
ganization as will bring sue
cess.

One good thing about President
Taft, he did not, veto the new

about reciprocity just in tim for

timepiece carefully.

There was a time when the re

at democratic statesmanship.
There is no opportunity to do this
now, witli Teddy lloosevelt ami
Hilly Taft before their eyes ex

and their stylo of grafting.

The republican supporters of
Aldrich are trying awful hard to
get up something that will cast
some reflerliou upon Ihe character
and good name or Hon. John H.
Morohead, democratic candidate
for governor. There is so much
against the present governor that
unless Ihey can produce some
thing to offset Ihe charges pro-
dueed against Aldrdich they bog-to
j to think that Mr. Aldrich's cake
will remain dough.
The suggestion of Mr. W. C.
Hay, now of Bethany, Missouri,
but a former pioneer citizen of
Cas county, is very timely. Ho
suggests that the people get up a
celebration for the early pioneers
of the county and invite all the
people who desire to participate.
There are many of these early
pioneers yet alive, and many who
reside in other stales and local
ities, who would come a long dis
tance to be entertained at such a
celebration and meet with those
who shared with tln'm (ho hard
ships of early pioneer days. Let
out citizens think about this
proposition and have u celebra
tion or this character instead of
one on the Fourth of inly.
:o: -
Mr. Morehead's letter lo Mr.
Metcalfe concerning the former's
views on .Nebraska policies scorns
to raise a quest ion of fact. Mr.

BRYAN AS A CANDIDATEf.
For the past throe weeks
more every' Jay telegrams hav
been sent out from Washington
telling that Iiryaii would attempt
to stampede the democratic con
vention at Haltimoro and capture
it, as lie did at Chicago. One or
two states have boomed Mr. Bryan
for president ami told what they
would do.
More than two months ago Mr.
Hryan wrote to a Pennsylvania
democrat as follows:
"f wish you would ay to all
that ro friend would desire to em
barrass me by such instructions
and thaft no enemy will" be per
mitted to' do so. I am nod ai can
didate aif-1 any support given to
me would raise a question? as- lo
my good faith and I shall permit
no such quest bom to be raised!."'
Now why fiio give Bryais the
benefit of the rfnabl and drop this
slory of his attempt to stampede
the convention? Why not ffi-p
