St.. Lincolr. Neb. One Dollar a Year.

March 3rd. 1ST9.
THE
NEXT SENATOR.
The wage-earners of Nebraska are
very much concerned or should be
about a successor to Senator Elmer
J. Burkett. It should not matter so
much with them whether Senator
Burkett's successor is a republican or
a democrat, but his attitude on several
quetsions of vital interest to the wage
earner is of grave moment.
The Wageworker feels a neigh
borly interest in and personal friend
ship for Senator Burkett. but it can
not overlook the fact that he is the
man responsible for the political pre
ferment of one of organized labor's
bitterest opponents. Nor can it over
look the fact that Senator Burkett
seemed to have very little concern
for the consumers of Nebraska when
that Payne tariff bin was being
framed, although he took, a lively in
terest in looking after the welfare ot
the manufacturers. Senator Burkett
may be able to explain himself later,
but he will not do it by delivering
long-winded dissertations on the un
desirability of government ownership.
The Wageworker is not going to
ask particularly about the political
affiliations of the men who will stand
forth as aspirants for Senator Buj-
kett's toga, but it is going to inquire
carefully as to their attitude on the
tariff question, the question of organ
ised labor, the question of reform of
judicial procedure, the question of im
migration and the question of govern
ment by injunction.
Be he democrat or republican. The
Wageworker will oppose the election
to the United States senate of any
man who favors giving the manufac
turer more consideration than i
given the consumer. Neither will it
support any man who tries to make
us believe that the protective tariff U
benefit to the wage-earners as a
whole. It will oppose any man who
will not pledge himself to support a
constitutional provision providing, for
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people.
There are many men in Nebraska
who would reflect credit upon the
state upon the floor of the senate. Iu
all candor it must be admitted that
this state has not been conspicuous
in senate affairs by reason of the
commanding personality of any of its
senators.
There are men mentioned for the
Burkett succession who may be relied
upon as being the firm friends of
organised labor, and who will give
the Interests of the consuming masses
quite as much consideration as they
will give the Interests of the trusts
and combines. If the editor of this
little labor paper were asked to name
his first choice he would unhesitat
ingly say "Bryan!" No better friend
of the organised workers lives. His
friendship has been demonstrated
time and again. He would give the
consumer a chance, and would compel
the manufacturers to be content with
an even break.
The wageworker asks the wage-
earners of the state to act on this
senatorial matter without partisan
prejudice. It asks them to consider
only the candidates attitude towards
those matters of most vital concern
to the workers and their families
It asks them to quit voting for po
litical machines and begin voting for
"Molly and the Babies."
We only wish that some of the big
railroad magnates had to work in the
Havelock shops for about a mouth of
the warm weather we have been hav
ing during the past week. It might
give them a better idea of what the
workers endure.
The Wageworker s advertisers are
offering some rare midsummer bar
gains these days. You make a mis
take if you overlook them.
Wake up! Tou are not taking the
interest you should in making the
Labor Day celebration a big success.
Tell your friends that Miss Mary
McDowell ot Chicago will be the
Labor Day orator at Capital Beach.

socialist orators will not again be i
molested. The shame of it is that
a city bearing the name of Abraham
Lincoln should ever have been dis
graced by a single arrest of a man
who discussed political questions in a
gentlemanly manner.
The American Federation of Labors
annual convention meets in Toronto
next November. It will meet in Lin
coln in 1911 if the Commercial Club
will give the trades unions of Lincoln
proper support in the work of se
curing it.
Senator LaFollette is talking like
a man who is plenty big enough to be
president of the United States. By
the same token he is acting like a
man who is big enough to fill the
presidential chair.
Elbert Hubbard is still yelping at
the heels of organized labor. Back to
the affinity, Rlbert; back to the
affinity!
Elbert Hubbard is boosting Charles
W. Post. "Birds of a feather," yon
know. Ask their discarded wives.
The Wageworker's Labor Day edi
tion will be a Thing of Beauty and a
Joy Forever. ,
The Payne tariff bill suits only
those who make a profit by special

The Mae
who usually wants to pay from $10 to
$15 for a suit will appreciate the chance
of paying a trifle more and getting aris
tocratic, fashionable clothes the best in
the world. Many men who are inclined
to saving fix their price limit at from $10
to $15, but when we confront these men
with $25 to $40 suits at $16.40 they will
at once see the wisdom of paying a little
more. They will see the real economy
of doing so. They must realize that they
are making the profit, not us. We urge
