CONVENTIONS HELD IN LINCOLN AND GRAND
ISLAND ON TME SAME DAY.
PLATFORMS OF THE RESPECT! 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.

iation for the benent of the people than
did any other president during tne sa.;n~
;en«vl of time during the km quarter ?
a century- By his impartial t-nforce
mt-iu of the law; by the continued prose
• uti n of illegal ar-i r.i *n :• ...es.
and by his nure effective st-rvit-e in i t
regulation of the rates ani service of

and r«r* ved himself true to the interests |
and welfare of the people

insistence of the president these have |
ie.cn remedied and the commerce cour:
has been created. For a quarter of :t 1
century many of our people have advo- |
ared the establishing n: p st i sav

ed in t is direction they have filed in

unquestioned power of setting apart tim- 1
her and mineral lands for purposes of :
conservation, and within the iast few
morths, in pursuance of that authoritv.
he has set apart many millions of acres.
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
