Pray tell us which one, Teddy. :o: Reports from all sections of the stale are to the effect that Hon. John II. Morehead, democratic candidate for governor, is gain ing friends wherever lie goes, lie jf the people's candidate and will he the people's governor. They see this written plainly upon his very countenance. :o: Some Taft man has suggested J hat if it is right for Roosevelt to head the republican stale ticket in Nebraska, there could be noth ing wrong in getting up it party to spring a ticket with Taft at ill head and the democratic candid ates for stale olllces following. Lincoln Star. :o: Teddy sas Taft has his back covered with trust tar, and proves it, loo. Taft comes back with the record and proves I hat Teddy is covered with steel and harvester trust smoke. Let all good people take it for granted that they both are telling the t nil li and vole for an honest man like Wood row Wilson, whose record is as clear and clean as any man's in the Foiled stales or any other country. Mr. Paul Clark, candidate for congress, is an out-and-out Roosevelt supporter, and has de clared, on several occasions, that William II. Tuft is dishonest and Organize! Organize! should be the slogan of every democrat in .Nebraska. A great deal depends upon a systematic organization of the democracy. :o: The bull inoosers are losing ground now every day in the week. A blind man can see I hat. A heading to an article in the daily metropolitan papers says: "Roosevelt rests after a week of campaigning." He will get a good, long rest after the 5th day of No vember, and so will the people. :o: Judge Thompson, the demo cratic nominee for senator in Kansas, says that Roosevelt had a slush fund of J? 16,000,000 in 1 !(', and we can find no reason lo doubt it. The tragic death of Mrs. Jack Johnson is nothing more than could he expected from a white woman who would degrade her self o the extent of marrying a negro. Jack Johnson is no better than any other black man, and the idea of his being the cham pion pugilist of the world is the only possible thing thai could have led this while woman to have married him. The thoughts of her marriage with a negro and associlling with negroes and be ing twilled by them about beinjj a white outcast is no doubt what led her lo end her life. This should have a moral, and on that 'should bO heeded by other while women. :o: The Nebraska Stale Fair as sociation look in the immense sum of 102,001), and still it was not enough to pay the expenses this year. What becomes of the money? Never in the history of the fair was there such a large attendance recorded as Ibis year, ami the time has arrived when (he people would like lo know some thing about tin' condition of the association. When the legis lature meets this winter Hie as sociation will be after another appropriation, and they will probably get it,, too. Hut should me taxpayers oi iVhrasua ne compelled lo pay money out of the stale treasury for something thai does not benelil. any oilier community only Lincoln?. It is lime for Ibe people to awaken lo a realization of bow mailers in this direction are running and how much money it has already co-t the stale. ;o: The position which John II. Morehead, the democratic candid ate for governor, lakes in respect that his re-eeclion would be n-lo the dulies of the otllee to which great calamity to the country. he aspires will meet with the ap- IIow do the friends of President I proval of most, people. In the The man who does not become interested in polities this vcar will be ho stupid when Gabriel blows bis horn that he will have to be awakened with dynamite. :o: ' Governor Wilson, the demo crat ie candidate f(,r president, will be in Lincoln October r, and the local democratic organiza tions are arranging for a nioii-ler rally. ;o ; There are more politicians "be tween tin' devil and the deep blue sea" at the present lime than at any time in our political history. They don't know whether to jump or not. :o : When Wilson comes lo Ne braska he will receive one of the warmest greetings of his life. Even the republicans are very anxious to see the next president. :o: The people who are lolling Taft Uiat he is going lo win easily re mind us of the fellow who advised Noah that there was not going to be much of the storm. The fact is, as quietly as it is kept, no one is going to have a walkaway on November 5. Just put that in your pipe and smoke it. :o: There is no doubt that if Aid- rich and Paul Clark could take back all the abuse they have heaped upon President Taft they would gladly do so. But they have been so public in their denunciations of the president that this would be an utter impossibility. -:o:- Domooratie leaders promise to i surprise Ihe country at large in .November by the democratic vole! which will revolutionize politics I in Pennsylvania. ; Mavbe the Slate Journal is op posed to building a new capital building for fear thai when the proposition becomes a sure thing the people of Nebraska might lake a fool notion to locate Ihe building nearer the center of the slate. -:o :- Taft in the First congressional district like such uncompliment ary remarks about Ihe man who holds the highest position in the gift of Ihe people of the greatest nation on earth? :o: The business men of Plalls nioiith should unite in an effort to have Ihe north' road over Ihe hill lo Um.rille range placed in good condition. It is a county highway and it is Ihe duly of the county commissioners lo aid in the laudable move, as it can be made one of the most pleasant driveways in the stale. The scenery is line ami it is a direct route from Platlsinouth to the rille range, and will be in con slant use from' there lo the city. Don't wail, but movo in lhal Ilrst place, lie announces (hat he will not be a candidate for a sec ond term. This will leave him free lo perforin his duty as he sees it without junketing around the state fixing up his fences for a re-election. Ho also promises to give the slate a business ad ministration, devoting all his time to Ihe service of the state. His ability to handle a business proposition in a business-like manner is proved by his long record of successful effort as a school teacher, farmer, bank cashier and business man. And scores and hundreds of his neigh bors of Richardson county will testify not only to his ability, but lo his honesty and reliability lo do what ho promises to do. Ne braska will do well to elect him Paul Clark's wife is aiding him in ins campaign for congress. on. John A. Maguire is not for tunate enough to possess a wife to aid him, but he is belter prepared lo enlist all the single ladies in his behalf. And, another thing in his favor, John is a great deal handsomer man than Clark. :o : The sympathy of every Ne- braskan will go out to W. J. Tay lor in the double aflliclion that has recently befallen him. One talented daughter the victim of disease, and another daughter. happily married, a suicide. through grief, is a blow indeed such a blow as no one can under stand who has not himself "pass ed under the rod." :o: Aldrich is now courting favor with Ihe temperance people bv ibusing Jim Dahlman. Poor Aldrich, he is grabbing al any and evcrv thing to gain sympathy. Bui every intelligent voter knows lhal Jim Dahlman is nol an issue in Ibis campaign, and that he never was guilty of playing the hypocrite like Ihe man who in tended lo do so much when he was elected governor. :o: Aldrich's purchased rural papers; are still doing such abusive work against John II. Morehead as (heir master de mands. Keep il up, boys, and try lo earn your money, Wen at the expense of the taxpayers of Ne braska, while the chief executive thinks he is receiving some politi cal benelil to himself. But Ihe intelligent voter realizes thai these papers are paying for Ihe constitutional amendments fur nished them for publication in such abuse of Hon. John II. More head as Ihe wily governor may choose lo furnish them. :o: Roosevelt said in one of his recent speeches that I tie poll licians have been blind and deaf to the wants of the people. He never said anything of this kind before he was ejected from the regular republican convention at Chicago. And then again, why was he so blind and deaf to Ihe wants of the people during his incumbency as president for two terms? Before Teddy starts out lo abuse politicians he ought lo know that the people do know that he is one of the most hypo critical politicians that over ap The Slate Journal is nol for a new stale capital building. Won der if the old fossil isn't opposing il because the boom for a new capital building slarled with the Omaha Commercial club? Just like Ihe poor old jealous hypo orite. :o: There is no earl lily excuse for a heavy tariff on sugar. The augar planters are rich enough and the reliners are lousy with money. II is high time to reckon with the ultimate consumers of sugar, who constitute a large majority of the people. :o: Another little straw which might be taken as an indication of which way the political breeze is blowing in the new progressive parly, is a telegram received by Frank P. Corrick, chairman of Ihe stale committee of that parly, from Ihe national committee- of the same parly, telling him to call a halt in Ihe strenuous pro gram laid out by that party for I heir candidate for president, Mr. Roosevelt. Don't . that look like something out of the ordinary was brewing?

Local Mews :o: The sale-wide primary is proving more of a failure at each succeeding elect ion, and in one or I wo instances it, will prove so in the recent primary in the nom ination of one or two skate can didates. In a stale convention these .objectionable candidates would not have went before a class of democrr.ls who. know I hem so well for fear of being beat, while in a primary good, well-deserving men will not risk their chances of nomination with a lot of candidates who are not deserving for fear of defeat where the voters do not know the can didates. Thai is just the great trouble with the slate-wide pri mary. ;i i ; Those who have read Governor Marshall's speech of acceptance iml those who have followed some of his speeches in the Maine cam paign as published more com pletely in the eastern press, have iwakcned lo (he fact that in -lean-cut ability and in incisive diction, he is saying some of Ihe (congest things that are being aid upon Ihe platform in this campaign. No candidale oil hop for president or vice president, has a more forcible, concise way of discussing the problems of politics than has Governor Mar- j shall. Lincoln Trade Review. :o: Of course John II. Morehead would not accept the insolent ami insultingly worded "challenge" issued by Chester II. Aldrich. And there are numerous reasons for the declination. First, it is a waste of lime to debate with a man who is not hampered by facts and who can manufacture statis tics off-hand. Second, Chester H. Aldrich cannot lay the plans and spocilleal ions for "progrcssive ness" and expect men lo defend themselves against his charge that they are "reactionaries," horse thieves, hypocrits and plunderers because they do not agree with said plans and specifi cations. If the voters of Nebraska want a platform al tract ion for governor they've 'got, it. If they want a level-headed, progresive, competent chief executive to at tend lo the state's enormous busi ness, hoy have the chance to se cure one by electing John II. From Tuenday's Dally.
