EK3BUHM3KX law's impertinence in being com pelled to state his party affiliations before casting his vote. We favor an amendment permitting each po litical party to call a mass party county convention prior to the pri mary election for the purpose of pro mulgation of a platform and electing a county central committee, and the elc L.V n of delegates to state con vention. We denounce the assertions that republicanism leads to economy and cite the people the facts that under a few years of republican rule our taxes have more than doubled upon the same property. NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN CON VENTION The Nebraska republican conven tion met at Lincoln, September 24. Governor George L. Sheldon was chosen chairman of the convention. A resolution endorsing William H. Taft for the republican presidential nomination was adopted by a vote of 34 to 19. The following platform was adopted: As the representatives of the re publicans of Nebraska, in state con vention assembled, we again com mend the inspiring character and un daunted leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. We especially endorse what he has accomplished, with the support of a republican congress, to ward subjecting the overweening railroads engaged in interstate com merce to- the regulating arm of the government and in curbing the ra pacity of the lawless trusts by forc ing them to desist from their crim inal practices. ' These policies have our unqualified approval and in order that no backward step be taken, we will insist that his successor be a man whose record pledges a contin uance of the distinctive policies of the' Roosevelt administration. While not presuming to forestall the action of any future convention we express the belief that the repub licans of Nebraska recognize in the Hon. William H. Taft of Ohio one whose personal character and whose long public service mark him as pre eminently the man under whose lead ership these policies would be per petuated. We endorse the present state administration. State affairs are being conducted with integrity and business sagacity. Our public institutions are being neither injured by parsimony nor scandalized by profligacy. The state's credit is high, and its long standing debt is being rapidly extinguished and will soon be paid, its public school funds are growing enormously and being wise ly invested in interest bearing secur ities. We commend our republican dele gation in congress for their faithful representation of the interests of the people of Nebraska. We especially commend the last legislature for faithfully fulfilling republican pledges made to the people. It was a record of legislative fidelity with out precedent in Nebraska. The platform pledges of political parties mean something only when read in the light of. the record of achievement. It is our rare privilege to call attention anew to the platform promulgated by Nebraska republi cans a year ago, whose every prom ise has been carried out in scrupu lous good faith. The republicans promised the people of this state the following reforms: 1. A state wide direct primary. 2. Abolition of tho free pass evil. 3. Comprehensive powers for the state railway commission. 4. More equitable rat?s for trans portation of passengers and freight. 5. Equal taxation of railroad prop erty for city purposes. 6. Abolition of fellow servant law and full employer's liability. 7. A pure food .and dairy law. 8. Rigid economy in appropria AVOID SECRET STOMACH RKMKDiks Because Most of Them Contain Dangerous Ingredients, Which Produce the Drug Habit Thousands of people, having dys pepsia or stomach troubles in sortie form, continually "dope" themaehea with all sorts of secret tonics, drugs pills, cathartics, etc., which not only inflame and irritate the stomach and intestines, but in many cases cause the opium, morphine and cocaine habits. You nave a right and should de mand to know what any medicine contains before you take it, unless it is put up or recommended by some reputable physician. Fakes and quacks will put most anything into their secret preparations, to make you like their useless stuff so as to want more of it, until it makes you the victim of some drug habit, which will ruin your health in a short time. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret remedy, they do not contain injurious drugs, and they are recom mended by thousands of physicians in the United States and Canada to their patients, for dyspepsia, catarrh of the stomach, and all other stomach troubles resulting from improper di gestion of food. These wonderful tablets actually digest food because they contain the very elements that are required of a healthy stomach to properly digest food, thus acting as a substitute and giving the overworked digestive or gans a rest and a chance to regain their former health, strength and vigor. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain fruit and vegetable essences, the puro concentrated tincture of hydrastis, and golden seal, which tone up and strengthen the mucous coats of tho stomach and .increase the flow of gastric and other digestive juices; lactose (extracted from milk) ; nux, to strengthen the nerves controlling the action of the stomach; bismuth to absorb gases and prevent ferment ation, and pure aseptic pepsin (gov. test) of the highest digestive power. All of these are scientifically incor porated in these tablets or lozenges and constitute a complete, natural, speedy cure for any stomach trouble. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold in large fifty-cent boxes, by all drug gists. Write us for a free sample pack age. This sample alone will glvo you sufficient relief to convince you. Address F. A.
