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

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

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.

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

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,

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

"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

The legislature adjourned on the
same day that it was convened, with
