WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS. ll : SAFETY OP DEPOSITS DEPENDED ON BRYAN'S GUARANTI-.E. WOULD MAKE DEPOSITS UNSAFE Bryan's Plans of Linking The Banks of Wall Street , Texas and Florida With Nebraska Banks Would Take Away Safety of Deposits. EWTOK KEPOBUCAN : Every effort is being made to blind voters and catch votes in the excitement of the campaign. To illustrate , take guarantee of deposits. I heard a Republican the other day say he was inclined to vote for Bryan as he liked Bryans view on guarantee of de posits. Think'of it. Think of the dangerous influence of these catchy features thrown into platforms to catch votes. This man would forget all that his party has stood for and done , lie wouhl forget Roosevelt and He would forget the prosperity of the last eight years. He would forget the good prices he has received lor his products and the increase in the value of his properties. He would even change administrations , and why ? Because for the moment he sees but this one question that Bryan dangles before his eyes. "It is positively foolish. Men muit think aud not be thus easily led away. This man should stop and -see that there are-a dozen -questions on which he could agree with Taft or Bryanjind then he will rcali/,2 how foolish it would be to go to either candidate because of one question and that a new one just sprung. What candi date and what party ia b23t for the country is the importart thing. Every intelligent voter will decide his vote on that basis and not on any one question or any one plank of anybody's plat form. Guarantee of deposits is uot an issue and is being used merely to draw unthinking votes. I am personally in favor of some system guaranteeing deposits and g-ive an address to that effect before the Nebraska Bank ers' Association at Omaha , No vember 22 , 'Of > A copy of the pamplet will be mailed you on request I speak therefore from the stand point of an advocate of guarantee of deposits ; but I am not in favor of Bryan's plan and f t t ) \ < \ you would not be if you under stood it. Bryan's plan would link the banks of Texas , Florida and Wall Street with the banks of Nebraska. If my bank \vts thus tied up with the banks of distant states and territories you would not risk your deposits in my bank If the s-uccess and Sufi ty of my bank depend * < i m the management c f banks in remote regions I would for my own safety go out ot' the banking business and so would every other careful banker in Nebraska. This important question has no place in a political campaign. The problem of guarantee of deposits will be worked out in due time in a careful manner and without politics mixed up in it The False Issue. The success of any party or any candidate is not the real issue in this campaign , and every voter should think it ovjr and realize this fact. The True Issues. The true issues in this cam paign are , Crst , that the pros perity of the past eight years be continued ; second , that the great reform work for better govern ment be ratified and effectively continued. These arc of just as much im portance to Democrats , Populists and others as to Republicans. Continuation of this prosperity can be expected , and continu ation of the vigeroua efforts for purer government will be insured by continuation of the present administration. Are there not many reasons , of self interest and public interests , why voters of all parties should support Shel don and carry Nebraska for Taft ? C. HlLDKHTH , Franklin , Nebr. , Oct 20 , 1908 ORDERS IF TAFT IS ELECTED. Traveling Alan Says lie Has laken Many Such in The Last Pew Weeks. i * "Talk to the effect that tilt- traveling men , or any consider able proportion of them , vill vote this year for Bryan is tommyrot , " declared T. R. Travis , of Kansas City in the Loyal Hotel "If Bryan gets 20 per cent of the commercial travelers' vote he will do a good deal better than I expect. Prac tically all the men in our line are Republicans in the first place and believe in the Republican prin ciples. In the second place , all of them know full well that they will get precious few orders if Bryan should win. This is not because Bryan could do any great harm himself , for he could carry none of his wild schemes into effect , because business men are so afraid of him. " "If he , by any miracle , should get in things would shut down absolutely for a year. Everyone would be afraid of his neighbor ; would think and think rightly , that Brown aud Smith and Jones would be afraid. It is exactly the same principle that causes runs on a bank. Many inklli gent depositors arc not afraid of the bank which has ample re sources , but they are afraid that their fellow depositors will be afraid of them aud so they hurry down to gein line " "I have had many orders lately subject to Taft's election. This was a pure business con tract and not designed to influ ence me. People sinjply wont be able to swing the goods if Bryan is the victor This is i ot poli tics It is business. Omaha Bee. KINKAID NOT FOR CANNON. CONGRESSMAN GIVES PLEDGE TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. UNFAVORABLE TO SPEAKER. Stands by The People in Their Oppo sition to Cannon's Obstructing the Progress of Roosevelt Legislation. Congressman Kiukaid has an nounced that lie will if elected not vote for the rc-jlecticn of Speaker Cannon. There has been this fall considerable op position to the idea of electing Cannon to succeed himself in the speaker's chair. This opposion seems , to come mainly from the western states where the spirit of progressive Republicanism is the strongest.Cannon as speaker of the last House of Represen tatives was regarded by western people as a man who was trying to hold down the passage of the Roosevelt legislation and this feeling is responsible for the de mands that were made on some of the western candidates for Con gress in opposition to him. By placing himself on record as opposed to the re-election of Cannon , Kmkaid has showed that he is in Hue with this west ern progressive sentiment and has proved that he stands square ly with the people for the Roosevelt velt policies. Entitled to Support. I have known Mr Gadd for a good many years and if there is a man who is entitled to the support of the young , that man is N. T. Gadd. Many are the young people both girls and young men whom he has aided both educationally aud in other ways in the last ten years that I know of. Never does he say no to a young man or young woman with a reasonable request and when he renders the service it is freely given. His advice is always most sane aud honest aud in accord with high moral principle. He is a cultured gentleman ; a true friend aud a forgiving fee- man ; an able lawyer and a strong advocate. J.G. W. Ohio For Taft by 80,000. Chicago , Oct. 24 A straw bal lot , taken by Chicago , Cincinnati , New York and St Louis news papers , indicates that Taft wil ! carry Ohio by 80,000 ; Kansas by 40,000 ; Maryland by 30 ballots , and all the New England states Bryan will carry Oklahoma by 25,000. The poll of the southern states indicates that the democrats have slightly reduced the pluralities in many communities. The biggest returns of the straw vote of any state was in Ohio , but it represents only the cities , exclusive of Cleveland ant Toledo. The claim that Kansas belongs to the doubtful states is called baseless. The vo'e in Maryland was tak en in all sections and represents all interest. It indicates lha the voting will be so close lha the real result will probably b unknown until the official ballot as was the case four years ago.

FREE TRADE SAVED HIS CLIENT. The Low Price of Horses in 1891 Enabled Lawyer Dunn' to Keep a Horse Thief Prom ( iointf to the Penitentiary EDITOR RW u 1111 c A N : The writer in 18)4 lived in Iowa where he was then practicing law. A young man had been indicted for grand larceny , being charged with stealing a horse , saudlc , bridle and a pair of pants from lis employer , the property being lleged of the value of $55.00 .Mie writer was appointed by the Court to defend the prisoner. On the trial of the case the states vitnesses as to the value of the > roperty proved themselves not as competent on that question as he defendants , whose testimony as to the value of the horse were ucn engaged in buying and hipping horses. The witnesses as to the value of saddle , bridle and pants were men who had > ccn in the respective businesses or years. The testimony of hcsc witnesses proved the value of the stolen property to be only > iy.50. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of pcttit larceny ind found the value of the prop- rty to be $19.50. This saved he young man from going to he penitentiary. The writer has always given he Democratic free trade admin- stration of that time credit for ( ccping hisclicnt out of the pen , or there has been at no time since 1897 that a horse of the kind stolen then would not readily sell on the horse market from $30.00 to $40.00.
