PARTIES Republicans Embody Gounty Option in Their Declara tions. While the Democrats Turn Down the Proposition. Republican. Nebraska republicans, democrats, populists and prohibitionists held state conventions on the 2vth of July, the first and last of the above politic al orgunizations meeting in Lincoln and the other two at Grand Island. Republicans at Lincoln organized by chos:ng United States Senator Norris Brown as permanent chair man. Congressman George W. Nor ris opposed the election of Senator Brown, but was defeateu. The platform as adopied contains a plank pledging the party to county option, to the initiative and referen ! dam. and to the establishment of a state board of control. A resolution by Congressman Nor r =, denouncing “Cannonism." was de clared carried by Chairman Brown ov. r the protests of many delegates, w ao demanded a roll call. The incident marked the closing of a convention that had been one of the most demonstrative in tne record of the party Congressman Norris, who had opposed Senator Brown for the permanent chairmanship, offered the resolution while the repoon of the resolutions committee was still pend ing. At the suggestion of the chair, the Norris resolution was put over un til the jilatform had been adopted. When this was finished and the dele gates were leaving the hail, under the impression that the convention was about to adjourn, Norris called up his resolution. Roll call was demanded by tfe delegates wbo yet remained in the hall, membership perhaps one half. Chairman Brown refused to or der the r-'l! call, and on a viva voce vote, in which the noes apparently outnumbered the ayes, declared the resolution carried and the convention adjourned. A new republican state central committee was selected. The com mittee met in the evening, but ad journed without attempting to or ganize. It was decided to meet for the purpose of selecting a chairman and organizing for the campaign on Monday. August 23. The candidates will then have been selected by the voters and will meet with the commit tee. Democratic. Tbe convention was called to order shortly alter 2 o'clock by Chairman Byrnes of the state committee. Rev. L .A. Arthur invoked the divine bles sing. C. J. Smyth was introduced as temporary chairman and made an ad dress. He was afterward made per manent chairman. He named the following as commit tee on resolutions: M. F. Harrington W J. Bryan. H. TV Fiehariv. T. L Albert, W. B. Cram.ns. Dr. Babcock. W. D. Oldham. The first division of the convention occurred when G. M. Hitchcock moved that ail resolutions be re ferred to the resolutions committee without debate and that no resolu tions be brought before the conven-j tion except as a majority or minority report. Mr Bryan moved to amend b> j omitting resolutions which were of fered after the platform was reported The vote on the Firyan amendment was .t!>4 ras and 4G5 nays. Pur:nc absence of the committee on resolutions Gov. Shallenberger in defending the S o'clock closing law and his record, pledged himself to fin a county option bill if re-elected and such a measure is passed by the next legislature. Populists. The populist party adopted the fol lowing resolution as an addendum to the ngular platform which is here with given: "We pledge the peoples' party to vote for those candidates only who openly pledge themselves for county option." The convention named a state cen tral comm: ttee. re-electing C. B Manuel of St. Paul chairman, and E. A. Walrath of Osceola secretary. PLATFORMS OF THE PARTIES. Repub! can.

For a quarter of :t 1 century many of our people have advo- | ared the establishing n: p st i sav ings banks.

Dating all the \v.irs of the agnation i of the tariff question : :a: y h ae be- ; ieved that tverp should be an exp-'t bboard appointed for the purpose of s«-k ing information and m. king recom ::ierdat:ons . s to tariff amer..intents and. revisions. At tiie elicitation of cur president the last congress made a lib eral appropriation for such purposes. and the president has already appointed ; board competent and qualify d to go or. with this w »rk of freiff Investigation. During his administr?'1-ion the general tariff law has l>e»*n revised by a repub lican congress and is now being rested l-efore* the American pe. pit- by actual experience It may be true that no tar iff law can be perfect in the sense of bringing the be«t results to every par ticular individual or to each particu ar locality or to each individual interest In a nation of SO.OOO iKW of people, cov ering so vast an area, wnooe varied in dustries are affected bv climate, and by transportation facilities, and where these vast peoples are represented in the senate and house of representatives by about five hundred individu A minds arc voices, there must be concessions ar.d compromises. The law whi. h was en acted had the support of the majority of these representatives. It is the law Jf' the land until it shall be changed in the regular wav. l’ur-.ng the first eleven months of ex re:ience under the present tariff law ! the ixtports have exceeded those f any previous period of like ex-ent in the sun. of Uli.Oflil.OOO.iHH). More thar 4 1 per ret of th-se imports have eome in tinier the present tariff law. free of duty. The '■ustotns reeeipts during the same eleven norths, under the op-ration ■ f the tar iff law. were JSbf.SIUtl. which have n >t Peon equa’ied or exceeded den re a like period of time for over thirteen years. It also appears from actual ex . i :enee that the gr. a importations on wi ah the tb-rifT has been reduced under the pres ent tar.ff law exceeds those on v. ..oh the tariS dutv has been increased in Hie ratio «f six to one. As a republican Party, fie it remembered, we are pro tectionists. XVe do not have to ap. h. gixe to any man or to any nation for that belief. On this doctrine we build our faith on the teachings ci the pages of our country's history. The republican party ha snever failed except When It faltered Its long ca reer of victory has been by bold v meet ing each Question as it ar-se; by fac ing with courage every danger' that crossed its path, while its fearlessness of consequence "and its determination to l*e true to the principles which j brought the party into existence, have been its inspiration from the days of Lincoln to William H. Taft. In those early days it faced seces sion rather than give its consent to the extension of slavery; rather than sub mit to a disunion of the states, it *ook up the burdens of the civil war. When the war was over and General Gran; accepted the surrende- of General Le* the republican party did not stop ti ask the question whether the terms of ;'.e surrender were the best that might hav* i been obtained which sh rid have be n ! granted Every soldier and everv Ameri can cittx.n accepted the situation with out criticism. When a few years ago the democratic party presented the issue •- ------ s-ive r.d many republicans, shifting to the breeze of temporary popularity, f.iloweu tiie teachings of the democratic leader, the republican party, true to its tra ditional integrity. reftis.-d to ahai dor the gold standard, know r.g that if it did so. it would plunge tie country into disaster and dishonor So now the republican partv as an organisation must net forget the tru di-iors of the past: what H has accom plished for the present end wiiat it is sure to accomplish for the future. The continued wealth ard prosperity of the country is bound about bv the doctrine and nrincin es of the republican par-v These apply within the I iuiHiim of the stale of Nebraska as well as in the union at large. Fteiltr ar.J patriotism to the republican i- irty at ho re *n-.i in this coming election is ns important as it was in the last presidential elec tion. and as it will be in the elections which are to come. The republican party welcomes to Its organization all cil.xens. whether Ame-i 1-ati or foreign bom. or American cf ;ervigp l irth wh > have become citi r-ns of the Eni-ed States We recegrire in them and in all of them the right to free speech and of independent tho-utht. but in the pro-tries of the great republican party which have the good of the whole eouatrx at heart, we ask for the unanimity or sentiment and cordial co-onerstlbn. last, but not least, of all. let us uphold the hands of President Taft during the full peri si of h-s m-l-nfnisTTHtieo and send to bins our united and harmonious dec Is rats -t of cordial sympathy and unstinted support.
