BALLOT
LETTER REGARDING THE OFFICIAL
Chairman DeFrance Warns the Fusion Committees to See
That it is Properly Arranged.
Dear Sir: . '
SIj attention has been called to the fact that the ballot law enacted by; the legislature of 1901 contains a defect, in
Schedule "A" thereof, which may require a judicial decision to correct; -
It may be said at the outset that the ballot as contemplated by this law is a good one. It provides that the party
polling the highest number of rotes shall be entitled to have its party name and its candidates appear first in each subdivis
ion of the ballot; the party having the next highest number of votes, the second place, and so on. It is arranged that the
elector may vote by making a cross (X) in the square at the right side of the ballot, just following the party designation of
each candidate whose name is printed on the ballot, or he may write in a name or names and vote for such persons in a sim
ilar manner. The law contemplates that a candidate may be nominated by one or more parties, but his name shall appear
but once. It is also provided that "when two or more candidates of the same party are. grouped on the ballot for the same
office, a cross in the circle to the right of the group will be a vote for all the candidates in. the group." . Hence the elector
may vote for both regents with one cross.
In order to permit straight party voting, the law provides that: "At the top and left side of the ballot shall be
printed in black faced capital type, not less than one-eighth of an inch, high, the name of each party having candidates on
the ballot; and to the right of EACH party name, a circle one-half inch in diameter, with leaders connecting the PARTY
NAME to the CIRCLE. Over the top circle shall appear the following printed instructions: "To Vote a Straight Ticket
Make a Cross Within Your Party Circle." Every ballot shall further contain the name of every candidate whose nomina
tion for any office specified in the ballot has been certified or filed according to the provisions of this act. . . . . .and the name
of no candidate shall appear on the ballot more than once. The names of candidates for office to be arranged as follows:
The party polling the highest number of votes at the last general election for the first set of candidates on the state ticket,
shall have the right of its nominee immediately beneath the name of the office for which such, candidate was nominated; the
party polling the second highest number of votes shall have .the second , place; the party polling the third highest number
shall have third place, and so on The party names at the top of the ballot shall have the same order of priority as is
here provided for names of party candidates. . . . . Any candidate who shall be the regular nominee of one or more party
conventions shall have "the party title of each party so nominating him, printed after his name.'V
Hence it is the plain intent of the law that each party having candidates on the ticket shall be entitled to have its
party name, and its I ARTY CIRCLE, printed at the top of the ballot in the division of the ballot immediately preceding
the division containing the names of the first set of candidates, which this year, would be the. division containing the names
of candidates for supreme judge.
A careful reading oi this section reveals the fact that the priority of candidates upon the ballot must beyond a doubt
be determined by the vote on supreme judge at the general election of 1899. If the position be taken that the different
parties which nominated Judge Holcomb that year are in fact to be considered as one party, then J udge Hollenbecks name
must have the first place on the ballot under the division containing the names of candidates for supreme judge. But this
position if untenable. Owing to the fact that the election laws in force.in 1899 contained no provision whereby party
src-ugth might be accurately ascertained, it is impossible to say how many of the 109,320 votes cast for Judge Holcomb,
were cast by members of the People's Independent Party, how many were cast by members of the Democratic Party, and
how many were cast by members of other political parties. It is reasonable to suppose that the number of votes cast for
Judge Reese (94,213) is greater than the number of populist votes cast for Judge Holcomb; it is equally reasonable that
this number exceeds the number of Democratic votes cast for Judge Holcomb. And for this reason, it is plain that a com
pliance with the spirit of the law demands that the party name and the candidates of the Republican party should be given
first place. But, granting this, it is equally plain that either the People's Independent or the Democrat party is entitled to
second place; and that one of these parties is entitled to third place. It matters little which of these last named parties is
given second place, and which third, place. But a great wrong will be committed if the official ballot be arranged as
shown in the first part of Schedule "A," Section 160, Chapter 26, page 622, Compiled Statutes of Nebraska (1901), a copy
of the erroneous part being as follows:
SCHEDULE "A."
3057c. Sec. 160.

O
The reasons why this part of Schedule "A" should not be followed are: That eafch! party having candidates upon
the ticket is entitled to have its party name and its party CIRCLE at the top ofthe official ballot." That the People's In
dependent Party is a distinct and separate party organization. That the Democrat party is a , distinct and separate party
organization. That these parties have not united as the "Democrat People's . Independent" party, although they have nom
inated the same persons for certain state offices. That in several counties these two parties have up separate county tickets.
That as shown in Schedule "A," but one party circle is given to two separate and distinct party organizations, and that this
is repugnant to the Bpirit, fetter and intent of the law. That with an official ballot wherein this erroneous part of Schedule
"A" is followed, it would be impossible for a member of the People's Independent party to vote a straight party ticket; and
that it would be equally impossible for a Democrat to vote a straight party ticket.
I enclose herewith a copy of a "Sample Ballot" made in conformity to the letter and spirit of the law, and respect
fullv refer the whole matter to the proper authorities in each county with the suggestion to the officers of each county com
mittee to confer with the county clerk and ascertain his intentions regarding the same. Should he persist in following the
erroneous portion of Schedule "A," the best legal counsel should be secured and a proper action begun to compel obedience
to the law. Yours very truly,

patriots. The republicans say that Jef
ferson's famous handiwork, the Dec
laration of Independence, is a lot of
self-evident lies and all men are not
created cjual. That pernicious doc
trine first struck Its roots in the tory
party, then the slave lower was a cou
stant menace to and denial of the Dec
laration of Independence and this evil
of slavery grew to be a monster which
constantly and frantically endeavored
to get mure territory In Its hideous
embrace. ad the slave power's efforts
to spread over more territory until its
representatives held power in con
gress and aroused Intense opposition
to it. The cruelty of the system ap
pealed to Le hearts of Lincoln and
Chase and Phillips and Garrison, who
stirred np opposition and strife. Af
ter four years of blocd. carnage, men
tal anxiety and anguish, the defenders
of the Declaration of Independence
were victorious. The republican plat
form of I860 quoted the Declaration
that all men are created equal and that
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain Inalienable rights, that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness; that to secure these
rights governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed and
waa essential to the preservation of
oar republican institutions and that
the federal constitution, tne rignts oi
the states and the union of the states,
must and shall be preserved. Now
the Mark Hanna republicans had bet
ter hurl their foul epithets at the heads
of Lincoln and his followers. The Lin
coln republicans believed in the con
stitution and the Declaration of In
dependence and were willing to defend
the principles embodied In those im
mortal documents with their life's
blood, but the republicans of today
believe a the tories, the slave holders,
the copper heads of the past believed.
That pernicious doctrine has struck
Its roots deep In the party of Mark
Hanna and the hideous monster is
even now writing It history and its
deeds of infamy In letters of blood. So
let no soldier enlisted in the righteoui
cause of self-government desert and
go over to the party that believes that
all men are not created equal and t.at
governments do not derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned. Young men of America, will
you fight the triple-headed monster
of gold, trusts and Imperialism with a
spirit and a courage worthy of eons
of the patriots of Id and '61, or will

Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind.
articles in your columns wherein I
have discussed several phases of the
wheat question. At this time of the
year I do not know of any question
that should be of more interest to
your readers than the wheat question
in all of its various phases. The
farmers of this country know thai the
export price of their wheat controls
the domestic price. Many of the farm
ers of our country know that the ex
port price of wheat during 1871-2-i was
about $1.35 per bushel, while during
1S96 ;he export price had declined to
65 cents per bushel and owing to the
wars and famine that have beon
abroad in the world during the years
from 1S96 to 1901, the export price has
increased from 65 cents in 1895 to tZ
cents per bushel in 1901. There are
three things that the farmers ) this
country want to know; first, just what
caused the decline of the export price
of 1.S5 per bushel for wheat during
the early seventies to 65 cents per
bushel in 1896, and 73 cents in 1901;
second, just how to prevent any fur
ther decline; third, how to restore
prices so as to return some profit to
the farmers of our country. Our
farmers as a whole throughout the
country know that there has been no
profit in wheat at the prices that they
have been getting for years. In order
that I may have a tangible object les
son to use in showing just what caused
H e decline ;'rom LIS pr busbrl tc
65 cents per bushel and hew to pre
vent a further decline as well as how
to restore prices, I wil take up and
consider our actual exports of flour to
Brazil from 1873 to 1901. The follow
ing table will show the dates, the num
ber of barrels exported, the price per
barrel received by our farmers at the
seaboard and the price paid by the
Brazilian in his international medium
of exchange, reduced to dollars in their

In order to make the table plain I
will number the columns No.l years,
No. 2 number of barrels exported.
No. 3 price received by our farmers at
our exporting ports, No. 4 amount
paid per barrel by the Brazilian at the
ports of export in this country. The
table shows that we export a large
amount of flour to Brazil each year.
The design of this table is to show
just what caused the decline in the
export price of the barrel of flour as
shbwn in column No. 3 for 1873, which
was $9.46 to $4.10 that is shown also in
No. 3 for 1901. There are six forces
that should and do control export
prices when conditions are normal.
Those six forces are as follows: First,
overproduction; second, volume of
money; third, ocean freight; fourth,
wars and famine abroad; fifth, com
petition in foreign markets; sixth,
cost of production. The six forces
above named either singly or com
bined controlled export prices prior to
1873. I will line each force up with
the table and see if it will explain the
decline in the price from $9.46 in 1873
to $4.10 a barrel in 1901. Starting
with the force called overproduction,
let us see whether it wll explain the
decline of $5.36 on a barrel of flour.
The reader must understand that the
American flour is shipped nearly ev
erywhere In the world that anything
is shipped. So if there really was over
production of flour in the world dur
ing 1901 it would have one specific and
tangible result and that is the con
sumers of flour could purchase their

Above will be found a sample ballot made in conformity to the ballot
law enacted by the legislature of 1901. It is not intended to show the
names of candidates ai they will finally appear on the official ballot, but
to show the form which must be followed substantially by every county
clerk In order to comply with the law. At this time it is extremely diffi
cult to say just what names will finally appear as the candidates of the
republican party. A day or two ago Henry L. Goold filed his withdrawal
with the secretary of State, and his name will not appear. This with
drawal was because of some damaging disclosures made by the Omaha
World-Herald, showing that Mr. Goold Was one of the beneficiaries of
Ex-treasurer Bartley; that Goold had borrowed state money of. Hartley
and neter paid it back. It is hard to say what other republican candi
dates may be in the same boat; hence the ballot above can merely be
taken as a tentative one showing the form to be followed.
The letter signed by Chairman DeFrance in an adjoining column
will explain certain features of the new ballot. The Independent urges
watchfulness on the part of both populists and democrats ' in regard to
this matter, and prompt aotion in cite the county clerk attempts to fol
low the erroneous schedule shown in the statutes.

flour for less money. The above
proposition, cannot be attacked. Ap
plying this proposition to exports of
flour to Brazil what do we find? The
reader can readily see what we find
and that is that the Brazilian paid
$8.20 for a barrel of flour in 1873 which
will be seen at the top of column No.
4 and he paid $9.00 for his flour in 1901
as indicated at the bottom of No. 4.
In other words, he paid 80 cents more
for a barrel of flour in 1901 than he
did during 1873. A casual examina
tion of the table from top to bottom
shows very forcibly that it would be
absurd and ridiculous to say that it
waa the force created by overproduc
tion of flour in the world that forced
down the export price from $9.46 in
1873 to $4.10 in 1901 as shown at the
top and bottom of No. 3. I would ask
that the reader examine the table
closely and he would be utterly dis
gusted at the idea that it was the
overproduction of flour in the world
that pressed down the export price
$5.36 per barrel. I will next take up
the force called volume of money and
.see if it is guilty of causing the fall in
