Of course not. :o: U seems that many people who mover supported a democratic can didate for president arc declaring ithemselves for Wilson and Mar shall. :o: Wo never wore n man or hero worshipper, and never will be. If .... j trie man we Highly respect goes wrong we criti.ise him as cheer fully as I hough he w ere an enemy :o: Attend your democratic pri maries Saturday, July 20,' for tho purpose of selecting delegates to the county convention Saturday, July 27 one week following. :o: Hlonde Muss I.orimer has at las lnvn "fired" from the Unitei Stales senate. Stephenson of Wisconsin is just as guilty as I.orimer and should he made to walk the same plank. :o: The county convention for tho purpose of selecting delegates to the democratic slate convention will meet in l'lattsmouth on Sat urday, July 27. lleineinber the date, as it is important that a ful delegation be sent to the Oram Island convention. :o:- The New York Sun says it wi support Marshall for vice presi dent, but cannot support Wilson for president. That is a funny position for a great daily like tho 51111 to take. U looks to us -that it would be impossible to support 'ne without the other. They aro inscparahle when it comes to ifio voting. Democrats do not want to de ( pond loo much upon the disrup tion of the republican party, na lionally speaking, for success in Nebraska. If we win, we must win 'with n united party, and to obtain 'a united parly we must not Jhrow obstacles in the way to cause the least disruption in our -vn ranks. It will be well to keep those suggestions in mind. Some fellows are experts at predicting in presidential cam paigns, but somehow or other their predictions turnout ferninst them. They have been predicting good results to the democrats. :o: The next president of the Unit ed Slates was named by the demo cratic convention. lie is known the country over as Woodrow Wilson, and he will be known in history as one of the great American executives. Boston Host (Hep.) :o: Governor Aldnch complains t hat the newspapers of the state misquote him. Perhaps it is lucky for him that they do. If they quoted him la the way he says a thing, and the language he uses in expressing it, he would be worse oft than ever. -:o:- Slop advertising in hot weath- er; Certainly not. iuu have dozens, scores, possibly hundreds I tilings in your store that people J need and ought to buv in hot weather.

Metcalfe will take the i lump for Hon. John II. More- lead ami in every way nossible assist in the election of tho demo- i rat ic candidate for governor. It i be remembered that Mr. Met- ialfe opposed Senator Morehead in the primary for the nomination, and his action in campaigning the slate in the interest of tho denio- cratic candidate demonstrates that Mel is a democrat after our ...... own heart. :o: The Journal was never more onfldent of the election of any man to a position of honor than it is in the election of lion. John H. Morehead to the nosilion of irov- rnor of Nebraska. The people I of Nebraska who have tho pleas- lire of his acquaintance are most I Uglily in their praise of Mr. Morehead, nnd the more they see nd hear of him the more they be- come impressed with his many hiauly traits of character. :o: There is not. a true democrat in Nebraska but who wants to see U.e parly succeed at the Novem- ,.i.,n.i. a.,,1 ; this direction, every delegate " i in i i mill jiuw iin (i iiii itl Jill should go to tho Orand Island convention with a determination for peace and harmony. Wo have everything to light for and wc should have a united nartv from start to finish, and tho man or set of men who goes to that conven- lion to "rule or ruin" should bo sat down upon and pretty hard, too. :o: In order lo have a peaceful and harmonious party there should be no bosses countenanced. Ono member of the party has just as much right lo his opinion as to mo adoption or measures wimin the party council as another, and Ihen, whichever way Hie majority rules, let that be the prevailing sentiment of the party. The parly must proceoa cautiously at nana Island, as on the movements of mat convention uepenus to a great extent the success of the demo- n unc pany in iveurasKa. :o: Senator La Follette sums up his conclusions in response to Roose- volt as follows: "Mr. Roosevelt appeals to progressives to join his party. Roosevelt's whole record demonstrates that ho has1 drop all maneuvering that is cal no constructive power, that he is proexossive only in words; that he is ever ready to compromise in order to win, regardless of plat form promises or progressive principles. He will not last. In the end the people of this country will got his true measure." And tin: senator has Teddy down about right. :o: Perfect harmony all along the line is the democratic outlook. :o: Don't fail to attend your ward primaries Saturday evening, July 20, at H o'clock. :o: America's hen last year laid 217 vggs for each inhabitant, and yet vc look upon the eagle as the na tional bird. :o: That eastern farmer who has spent 1,000 in a suit over a 20 cow has reason to kick about the price of beef. :o There an many nice, clean re- publicans, and they don t all stand in with Ahlrich, Norris, Paul Clark & Company, either :o What about Paul Clark? He hasn't said a word about Roose velt lately. Maybe some of the Taftites have muzzled him. I low about it, Paul? :o: Wonder if Michael Flipflop Harrington isn't somewhat disap pointed that no one answered his recent letter to the Y orld-llerald? This would have given him an op portunily to write again. Hut no one thought enough of what he said to pay any attention to it ;o:- Chami) Clark is for Woodrow Wilson, and you can bet your hot torn dollar he will do more good work for the democratic ticket than any ono man in the nation That's the way the gentleman from Missouri shows his loyally to the democratic parly every day in the year :o: The democrats who attend the (iraml Island convention as dele gates should be prevailed upon to throw aside all differences en gendered in past campaigns and carry a "harmony flag' over their heads as they enter the convention l . . hall. It will bring forth good re suits. :o: The democrats have put their best foot forward. They have nominated Woodrow Wilson. If the people want the new third parly they will have to demand it as a fundamental principle, and not as a personal indorsement of anv man. This is what Theodore iiooseveii asweu. i.uicago rosi. t t ii ii .i " ,im' lIU,re ,s 0,1,5 i'"'cr w,1 is not for Wilson and Mar" shall there is a dozen or more re- I I . it .1... 1 P'ii-ans come out for tho demo cratic ticket.

Nobody I t.bjortcd, either, that Mr. Morn inR Nva9 pottmK personnl. This prt)hahy accounts for C(,n lldential letter Tommy addressed to W. F. Gillespie of Mynard. There is not a particle of use in getting up a muss like this, for every democrat in Nebraska is for Wilson and Marshall, nnd the best way to kop them that way is to culated to engender strife or dis cord. Champ Clark received near ly a many votes as both Wilson and Harmon in Nebraska, and these are all progressives, but they are not in the humor to stand any monkey business from 'loin Allen, who was chairman, of Hie committee for several years, and democratic victories were very scarce during his incumbency. The Journal wants peace and the only way to have it is for all hands to dwell together in harmony. The constitution of the United Slates is 125 years old less a few holes that have been shot into it lately, and possibly some that will be shot in'o it later. It is a good constitution if it is used, but it will not last another 125 years if the leaders of the republican party have their way about it. :o: Democratic conventions in Ne braska will not be bothered any more with Michael Flipllop liar rington. He has deserted us and proffered his services as the chief scoopmaa for the Bull Moose candidate. He voted for Woodrow Wilson in the state primary and now he bids farewell to the party because Wilson was nominated -:o:- Direct election of United Slates senators is an accomplish ed fact through primary election in so many states, that the folly of opposing it becomes more ap parent, every day. Wind her or not that way is best, it would be much better to have it, accomplished by election than wholly left to the loose met hods and corruption in cident to the modern primary. :o: Every democrat who voted for Champ Clark and every democrat who voted for (iovornor Harmon is now supporting Woodrow Wil son, and it appears to' irritate a certain cotorie of democrats in Nebraska because they are. They certainly could not expect to carry Nebraska without the ah of the Clark supporters even, and they ought to have sense enough to know it. (iovornor Ahlrich is happiest when he can face an audience and denounce the Sanborn decision and tell how he, Hadley of Mis souri and Harmon of Ohio wore made a committee to prepare the brief in the rate cases. Wil Maupin's Weekly. Governor Har mon oeing caugnt in company with two such blowhards as Aid- rich and Hadley is probably- the reason he didn't get more voles than he did in Nebraska. :o: Bull Moose" Roosevelt enter tained Perkins, McGormick and other "big interests" tho other day, and of course arrangements were made to finance the third- term parly. But Roosevelt, Per kins, llcCormick & Co. can't pull the wool over the eyes of the peo ple this year like they have in the past. They may have the money to buy, but the voters of 'this country are more independent this year than they ever were in many years past. :o: The Qhicago Tribune is not very favorably impressed with tho outlook for republican success in Illinois this year, because the Roosevelt followers threaten to put another state ticket in the field: "The progressive move ment is jeopardized in Illinois by a few men to whom it means chiefly an oporlunity for political advancement. They desire to nominate a full ticket for Colonel Roosevelt to pull into office. Tho danger is that this ticket will prove such a drag as to prevent the colonel from carrying the state." :o: When, wo democrats cast our optics over the Nebraska land scape and view the magnificent products for a glorious victory this fall, we can hardly believe that any democrats aro so con stituted as to havo their minds set on going to the Grand Island con- ention to either rule or ruin, and thus blight these glowing- pros- peels. Let each delegate go to that convention with his mind made up that harmony and good feeling shall prevail throughout that entire deliberation of the men who are sent there to rep- esent the rank and tile of the democratic voters, and good feel ing is bound to conn! to the front. The masses of the party will then in readiness to pull oft' their oats and work from early morn till dewy eve until tho dawn of day on the 5th day of November, and then, in one solid phalanx, march to the polls with victory inscribed upon our banners. :o:- "ALL DEMOCRATS TOGETHER." The Lincoln Star, a welcome and able recruit lo the cause of democracy in Nebraska, sapiently reminds certain Nebraska demo crats that "inviting a fight is a poor way to avoid one. ft would certainly be unwise, contends the Star, for the demo crats of this state to become in uolved in a fight among them selves in the coming convention at Grand Island. Nobody should receive countenance in any act tending to inject factional feeling into the convention, or into the campaign To do so is to imperil (he democratic movement. The Star is exactly right when it says: "Before we begin quarrel ing over the privilege of dis tributing state patronage un der a good government, let us all first get that good gov ernment. Only by recogniz ing that man who starts out to raise a quarrel is thinking more of himself than of the public welfare can Hie cham pions of Woodrow Wilson hope to bring to him and his cause the largest measure of success."

The , ,j t, , . ticket is named. It is c can and worthy. Every democrat can be proud of it, none needs apologize for it. and should be srlad to sun- port it. Differences that have arisen in the past have no place, no right, in this fight. Right and loft and center, the democratic lines should stand fast, each di vision recognizing the need of tho co-operation of every other di vision, and every private and officer in all division ready to sub ordinate his own interests and possibly prejudices to the com mon good. The democrats who supported Harmon in the primaries, and those who supported Clark, stand prepared to lend a support just as loyal, just as zealous, to tho great fighting governor of New Jersey They stand eager to show to the world the inspiring spectacle of a united democracy in Nebraska to contrast with tho spectacle of a divided and warring opposition We predict that any man, or any little coterie of men, who may go to Grand Island henl. nn nnnioVi no- r,t. th,'t.i, ih.
