"Nebraska democrats should
liear in mind that Mr. Bryan is not
an issue in Nebraska," says Will
Maupin's Weekly. Of course not.

Hlonde Muss I.orimer has at las

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

: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.

II. L. 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.

in Nebraska but who wants to see

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

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.

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

The Lincoln Star says that at
a local meeting of democrats in
that city, suspected of having been

out; of the speakers declared lhat
there has been a reactionary ten

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."
There is no reason why all Nc-
braska democrats should fail to 50 cents- Fostcr-Milburn Co.,

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
