cxWESCOTT'SsflU
Lincoln, Dec. 1. Charging the
governor, the Nebraska state repub
lican committee and officials, with
"moral turpitude." dishonesty and
falsity, Charles W. Bryan, former
governor and democratic nominee for
vice president, .Thursday challenged
Governor Adam McMullen, republi
can, to meet him in open court,
where both parties could be under
oath for a showdown on state issues.
Bryan declared the republican
party must accept responsibility for
a f 4.500.000 deficit in the state, that
the deficit ' actually is $1,000,000
greater than that, "and growing all
the time."
Announces His "Principles"
In the most sensational charge of
a political nature that has come
forth in many years in Nebraska, j
Bryan sets forth four major princi-
by republican action in cutting down Swanson. of Lamar, Colorado, and
the funds for its support, that the' little granddaughter. Leslie Jane
protective measure for state banks is Wehrman, the following near rela
in danger of destruction. He says
the law must be amended and streng
thened. He charges that republicans
have conspired with national bankers
to kill the guarantee law.
The fourth point deals with one of
Bryan's hobbies throttling of the
powers of "trusts." He believes de
velopment by the people of their
water power would effectually pre
vent a monopoly of the power busi
ness in the state by "trusts."
The statement confirmed earlier
reports that Bryan Intends to make
his influence felt in political circles
or isebraska this year, but gave a
strong indication, also, that he may
have decided to run for governor

issues that marked the last cam
paign. Bryan charges that he has proved

Charges False Statements
Under his first charge, Bryan de
clares the deficit, which was the cen
ter of contention in the last cam
paign, existed, that republicans knew
it existed, but they issued a conti
nuity of false statements to deceive
the public
He said they have violated the
budget law in conducting the state's
business, that the state has not, as
they say. been run on a "cash basis"
and that there must be a complete
change, not only of heads of govern
ment, but of principles as well.

The people of Murdock believe in
doing the right thing and have de

time, but in the very recent past,
they did the very nice thing in the
case of getting the corn crop of Fred
j Cordes out of the way of the coming
i winter and snow storms and getting
it in the crib, when the time was just
1 ripo. -
i On Monday a crowd of the farm
ers and townspeople, went to the
home of Mr. Cordes who is at this j
time recovering from an accident
caused by a broken leg and, picked
twenty acres of hi3 corn and put j
the same in the crib and again on;
Wednesday afternoon and a portion I
of the people during the morning as;
well went and worked like beavers!
and by the time the sun was down j
had all the corn in the crib, and .
theelevator which one which had J
been borrowed, taken down and re-1
turned to its owner and at the samel
time the scoops, and other paraphan-j
alia, which were used stored and
the tools and wagons gotten in good
shape and stored from the storms.
Frank Rosenow was the director of
the workers, and all of the sixty-four
men, and with twenty-three teams
they sure did make the corn shucks
skiddoo. This is a demonstration of
Christian brotherhood, which looks
like real Christianity. We believe in
this kind of neighbors, and it looks
like they had an inspiration, and
really understood, that "They were
their brothers keeper."
