OCTOBER 20, 1904 PAGE 16 J5)e Nebraska Independent Resolutions That the Mahoning county, Ohio, rad icals did not get in; but, we can vote for Watson and Tibbies. We, the democrats of Mahoning county, have heard, that "In his haste, King David said, 'All men are liars.' " We believe that if he lived in the present age of political degeneracy, and had heard the Lodge platform at tnicago ancinhe Williams-Hill plat form at St. Louis, he would, after ma ture deliberation say, that all repub lican conventions are liars, whether held in Chicago or in St. Louis. The opinion of the ting, we think, does neither of these conventions wrong. The national convention (democratic by name alone), which held its crim- inal seance at St. Louis July 6, 1901, busied itself in the solution of the grave and weighty (fuestion of how to nsft a world of words and say nothing. Our assembled representatives there . fnrp thrfiw together that sinister med ley of the platitudes and abstractions ' af hvnnftrisv and tyranny, known as the democratic platform the living shanSfl the undying dishonor of Amer ionn rifimncracv. which has not even the recommendation of an honest de lusion hut is a comDOund of fraud and deception, and which for general arid Jttv inslTicp.ritv. triviality and ambigu ity', must forever remain the envy of ' Stripped of its empty; bombast, its pompous phrase anynowy verm age, j and the ridiculous g.tfrlty of its style, we understand the i tform to say: ' 1. We want office i d graft. 2. We are afraid loosing the few offices we have : 3. "We need the -money" and are - willing to take it frrim any source. 4. "We've been infth'e minority long enough."

Pit of Tophitf What a specta pIp nf fiftrviiitv!

Our c&ndidate asss but one term in the "servitude of utfior."

We regard the democratic party as the most enduring and potent political force ever formed under this govern ment and we view with dread and alarm the surrender of an engine of N so much power into the hands of trust and combinations, and we despise the reptile prudence, so much resembling cowardice in a convention which sought to enlist the party as a sort of : captain in that army of pillage and plunder, the Standard Oil monopoly. We look upon the success of this na tional ticket as a calamity more to be feared than complete disorganization . and feel that the party can not re main a party of the people, except by its defeat, believing at all times that no candidate should succeed who re ceives his nomination at the hands of monopoly almost under the same con ditions as the scavanger receives his job. . We, therefore, stand no more with the "democrat"! who attempts to walk In the.middle of the road, swallows the platform, and, after a few grimaces, scrambles into a seat in the band wagon, than we do witn the Pharisee whn assumes the name and passes by on the other Side, and we declare our innosition to imperialism and colonial ism, to government by injunction, to trusts and tariffs, and to every form of special privilege, being convinced, that under whatever name robbery is com mitted, the effect upon the victim must always be the same.

Watson and Tibbies are making an active and energetic campaign, and de serve the loyal support and co-operation of every populist who has ,the welfare of the party at heart. Under their capable leadership the people's party is on a sure foundation and the road to a triumphant victory in 190S. arms of the United States senate. Men ! of all political faiths pronouncel the speech the greatest they had ever ueai'd. " Mr. Watson is a frail man in body, but a, giant in intellect. In his ar raignment of both of the old republi can parties he was powerful, persua sive and eloquent. While he was speaking, strong, stalwart and stout hearted men were sen to shed tears. With such a giant in intellect as Wat son for leader our cause will ultimate ly triumph; for he is earnest, honest, able and incorruptible, uoa D;ess him and keeD him in health and strength to tight the battles tor tne "forgotten man. The Charlotte (N. C. Observer (dem.1 staff reporter, in his account of Mr. Watsons masterly speech at Newton, said: "He is not a strenuous speaker, Dut the most persuasive, the most engaging and entertaining that 1 nave :ever heard. I have heard Cryan, the Dixons and other great speakers, but this beat the band." After Mr. Watson concluded his snfieich. Hon. L. . L. Witherspoon, a leading democratic lawyer of Newton, said to him: "Mr. Watson, l am a democrat, and for that reason I shall support you." On October 27 our gallant leader will speak at Tarboro, N. C. When the "old north state" once gets aroused, there will be "something doing." Hon. A. C. Shuford, former congressman, is now actively engaged in the reor ganization of the party. I send you th f nr 'niihlicatlon1 an " address North Carolina voters. This move ment is on and the powers of hen ana plutocracy can not prevail against it. Yours for victory ana ior uunmimj, JAMES B. LLOYD. speak for it, except the chairman, J. J . Eager, and he fhrougn the execu tive committee. The headquarters of the party is at Cisco, Texas from which point all authorized communica tions will be issued. Nothing what ever is official unless signed by Eager, from headquarters at Cisco. This ac tion is taken, from the fact that the expressions and interviews in -newspapers by people with a little brief authority, did the party untold injury, and caused great dissatisfaction among the people. The party as now or ganized will profit by its past expe riences, and will try to avoid past mis takes, and knowing its traitors and. enemies of the past, intends to give them no chance to repeat the dose they gave the party when it was young and sappy. . t There is a wonderful change for the better in Texas, and show our politi cal enemies that Senators Bailey and, Culberson's advice to the state can axuat.es, To get busy among the people, was based upon a just appreciation of the true situation, though unheeded. .

The ICUHiU IU. governor's message made seven recom mendations, one of which was as fol Inws' "The amendment known as the 'con stitutional initiative' provides mat s, nnn vntprs of the state may by peti lion pro uose a specific and particular have that-amendment submitted by the secretary of state to the vote of the qualified electors at the general elec tion next suceeding. For the choice of elective officers we-now have the in itiative and referendum the initiative in the primary meeting and the refer endum in the subsequent election. For constitutional amendments there also exists the popular referendum, but not the popular initiative. The purpose of the pending amendment is to give to the people that control over .measures which they already have over men. "Tho nendins amendment merely carries out, in a reasonable way what the founders of this government de sired but failed to accomplish. No ar gument worthy of the name has been, or can be, advanced against the adop tion, much less the submission of the amendment. In its speedy establish ment lies the best hope for the preser vation of a government by the people thA salvation of the republic." The legislature adjourned on the same day that it was convened, with out action. Governor Garvin is norm naiod fnr srnvernor a third time.
