make Lincoln bigger and better. We've
got a golden opportunity at hand, and
if we do not seize it well, if we do not
it will be all the worse for us.
'We do not want to be understood as
deprecating the ability of Jesse B.
Strode, deputy county attorney and
candidate for the nomination for that
office. Mr. Strode is an. able lawyer
and an enterprising citizen. He would
fill the office with credit to himself and
to the satisfaction of the people. But
just now matters are so hooked up that
we insist upon retaining Frank Tyrrell
in the position for another terra. Liti
gation of tremendous importance to the
people is now being conducted, by
County Attorney Tyrrell, and he is so
thoroughly familiar with all its phases
tlu.i it appears unvii-: to contemplate
a change at this time. We hope Mr.
Strode will reconsider and wait a cou
ple of years.
P A lot of would-be state senators
and representatives might just as well
prepare for trouble. They are going
to be confronted by a lot of questions
relative to their position on numerous
matters of interest to the wage earners
of the state, and if they think they are
going to be able to dodge they would
better be preparing another think.
Either they will answer the questions
to the satisfaction of the wage earners
or they will fiind their pathway to po
litical honors almighty rough and
thorny.
Mayor "Jim" Dahlman says that in
a week or two he will have his portrait
adorning buttons nud badges galore.
With the memory still clinging in our
minds of the odiferous cigars that came
in a box adorned with the portrait of
."Mayor Jim" we are inclined to be
lieve that "Mayor Jim's" campaign
portraits will work with the reverse
English.
Every woman who is a taxpayer, or
who is the mother of children who are
p-
s of school age, is entitled to vote on the
school -bond proposition. But before
they can vote they must register. This
. they may do tomorrow, June 18, at the
regular registration places. There are
three or four thousand women in Lin
coln who are eligible to vote at the
school bond election, and here's hop
ing every one of them will vote and
vote for the bonds.
I
Mayor Dahlman has two planks in
his platform capital removal and
"personal liberty.'' The capital remov
al plank is planed and dressed with in
tent to delude a lot of people into vot
ing for him in the hope that by so doing
they may get the capitol building "in
their midst," overlooking the fact that
the "personal liberty" plank is the
real issue. Will men who are opposed
to the rule of the brewers and distillers
bo fooled into voting for the "personal
liberty" candidate by the will-o'-the-wisp
of "capital removal t" If anybody
tells you the fieri! is dead, you tell 'em
you don't believe it.
. If anybody attempts to knock out
the "Oregon plan," shoot him on the
spot. The union man who votes for a
legislative candidate who refuses to
subscribe to "Statement No. 1" is a
sucker! That statement is made open
ly, and without fear of successful con
tradiction. Under the Oregon plan the
people can elect their own senators and
leave the members of the legislature
free to attend to real business. And un
der that same plan organized labor can
vote for its friends regardless of politi
cal affiliation and not be hammered
over the head by party leaders who al
ways put up the horrible howl: "We
must vote 'er straight in order to elect
a senator." The legislative candidate
who refuses to subscribe to "statement
No. 1 " is not worthy of the vote or con
fidence of any honest, self-respecting
citizen. v
The Dahlmanites are going to try and
work another scheme in case their can
didates is defeated at the primary. In
that event they will run Dahlman as an
independent candidate, and expect ill
the opponents of county option to vote
for liim. In a three-cornered fight
Speier & Simon
they expect to get votes enough to'
land "the only man who can save Om
aha." '
Let's see, isn't Mayor Jim the man
who has always claimed to be a simon
pure democrat? And isn't a democrat
in favor of majority rule 1 And if Dahl
man is defeated in the primaries won't
that, be because in a democratic test he
lost out T To which is James C. Dahlman
the most devoted, the principles of de
mocracy or fusel oil ; the fundamentals
of a free government or the juice of the
hop ; the right of a majority to rule or
anything to keep the bottle full? We
inquire to know ?
Is John E. Miller going to be a can
didate for state senator again? Senator
Miller made a fine record in the last
legislature. He stood for everything
that was square and right. He opposed
everything that was against the best
interests of the people. Elected as a
democrat he refused to plap politics at
the expense of the good of the whole
people. He is for the initiative and ref
erentlum, the Oregon plan, liberal but
wise appropriations for state purposes
and a reformation of our revenue laws.
It would give The Wageworker pleas
ure to support John E- Miller again.
Ned Brown, whose records as' a mem
ber of the 1909 senate is as good as the
best, has a cinch on a re-nomination.
Likewise he has a cinch on the support
of this little paper. Senator Brown is
all right on perhaps everything but the
tariff, and as the next session of the
Nebraska legislature will not have time
to tinker with the tariff we'll excuse
him that one mental error.
It has been suggested that Frank M.
Coffey, president of the State Federal
tion of Labor, be a republican candi
date for the legislature. Coffey de-,
murs, claiming that if he accepted a
place on the primary ticket he would
be charged with using the Federation
for political purposes. Rats ! A man as
old in the labor game as Coffey hadn't
ought to side-step a duty on that ac
count. When a man shows 'i;sposition
to take an active part n. .-ization
affairs ho might as wli iaico ii is medi
cine. He'll be damned if h: decs and
he'll be damned if he don't. The edi
tor of The Wageworker was accused s
organizing the State Federation of La
bor for political purposes ; was charged
with trying to work up a "Shallen
berger machine" with trying to " de
liver the labor vote to the democratic
party. " The men who made the charge
knew they lied, 'and the editor of The
Wageworker knew they lied. He hap
pened to be in a good position f,o take
the lead in organizing the Federation,
and recognizing the need of it he went
at it. Partisan politics has never been
mentioned in the organization, nor will
it be. Coffey ought to have the nerve
to go to it. He would make a strong
candidate, and if nominated and elect
ed would be a power for good in the
union cause in the legislature. " The
union man who would utter the false
hood thai Coffey was trying to play
politics through the Federation would
simply convict himself of being a lot,
more interested in party than he is in
) the advancement of the cause of orga--nized
labor. , 1

parks and a high school worthy of the
name. It 's a glorious opportunity, and
if we fail to seize it we don't deserve
anything better than the worst of it.
The man who "cuts off his nose to
spite his face" is no greater fool than
the man who refuses to seize a benefit ;
for himself because by seizing it he will
also confer a benefit upon somebody
jelse. I met a workingman the other
day who said he was going to vote
against the park bonds because he
didn't, propose to let "Si" and "01 "
Berger make a big rake-off by selling
' Lincoln park to the city. Wouldn't,
that jar you? I don't give a tinker's
, dam how much money Messrs. . Burn
ham arid Berger make; they can make
- a million for all I care, just so they
don't rob me And they can go broke,
' too, without its affecting me a great
deal. I don't know what Lincoln Park
is worth neither do I care But this
I do know, that it will take fifty years
and fifty thousand dollars to' make out
of raw land what Lincoln Park is

worth today, and I want a park now.
I want ito enjoy it myself, and I want
to live long enough to see my children
enjoying7 it. I hope Messrs. Berger and
Burnham and their associates make a
big bunch of money, provided' they
make it legitimately. Thank the Lord,
I'm not so narrow-minded that I be
grudge any man a dollar honestly se
cured. - . . . . - ' if
There are only two things that I can
hope to leave my children a good
education and the memory of a happy
childhood. I do not hope to leave them
a lot of money and 4 don't believe
I would if I could: But I am bending
every effort to give them a happy child
hood. I know of .nothing better cal
culated to achieve this end than to do
my part towards providing them with;
handsome , and healthful playgrounds
in the shape of parks. The missus and
I especially the missus are making
many sacrifices for our chidren, and
our children, and the children of other
workingmen and working women are
The brain and brawn that this republic
The brain and brown that this republic
must depend on in future are not
coming from the ranks of the ricband
well-to-do ; they; are coming from the
ranks of the workers.' v And just as
sure as your children and my children
must be depended upon to keep this
republic going, just so sure is it the
; duty of those who have no children to
go the limit in helping us give our
children happy , childhood and every
educational advantage. The rich man
who votes against the park and high
school bonds is a "snitch," and he isn't
worthy of the protection of the strong
arms of the workers of the country.
The biggest and best advertisement
Lincoln could, possibly have would be ,
an overwhelming majority for the park
and high school bonds. Let's all work
together for Lincoln not like the
bunch that hired the Hebron' band in
preference to a Lincoln band, but like
a bunch of Lincolnites ' who practice
what they preach. I'm going to vote
for alL the bond issues, and the missus
is going to' vote for the high school
bonds. The shame and disgrace of it
all is that the little woman is not, per
mitted to vote just the same , as me.
Women can not bear arms for their
country, , but they can do more they
bear the children who grow into the .
men who do bear arms for their country
and between the two I rather opine that
the women, bear the hardest part of it.
' BILLY MAJOR.
