Senator Aldrich made his record as u progressive republican in the- legislature of ' 07 , and as a result of the good work done at that time Nebraska has some of the best laws of any state in the union , To defeat - feat him at this time with n man who openly stands for law breaking , would bo a direct slap at all law an order.

Ilesult of Recount. County Clerk D. M. Havorly of Douglas county has certified to the secretary of State the result of the recount in Douglas county on gov ernor. Altho Governor Shallenbor- ger has thrown up the sponguo and declared Dohlman the democratic no mlneo for governor , the recount fig ures from Douglas county nro of some Interest. The recount shows that Shnllcnborgor made a total gain of eighty-three votes In Douglas county. Shallonborgor gained thir ty-four votes and Dahlman lost for- ty-nlno votes. The original major ity of Dahlman in Douglas was G- 138 and the recount reduced this to C.3G5 , a difference of 83 votes. On the original count Dahlman received a total of 7,3GC in Douglas county and Shallcnborger received 1,918. The recount as cortiffed to the sec retary of state shows that Dahlman received a total of 7,307 and ShalWi barger 1,952 , a majority of G.3GG for Dahlman. Tlio stata canviiMlng board has not canvassed the recount of the twonty-threo counties that granted a recount , but It is said that the majority of Dahlman in th state will bo reduced by the recount- from 304 to 191. State Journal. AV. J. Hryan for Aldrlt'li W. J. Hrynn has broken his long silence. He issued a statement MOM day In which ho declines to support Mayor Dahlman for governor. INu-ly I The lack.of party loyalty of Us members is ono of the greatest ciuiHeH ol party defeat. ' It 'imtU-rs not how important mny bo tlio rrhuMploH of a political party unloMj UK members are loyal in their support of their candidates , tlio party usoll us its principles may expect defeat No one who believes in the prin ciples of his party has a moral right > o bolt his pnrty nominees or oppose tl.eir election an a matter of person al right no more Uum he has a legal rUht. to piusonnally violate a law of the state. The principle of majority rule is morally a binding on these who af filiates with a party as it legally is upon legislative bodies. The principles of a political party are promulgated and its nominees choHon by a majority of these who affiliate. There Is but ono of two alterna tives for an Individual of a political party to take. Ho should either submit to his party's choice of can didates and support Its principles enunciated or withdraw from the par ty. In a sense a partlsen Is under as great obligation to Ills party as arc the elective officers to the party newspapers on which ho depended and received support in his cam paign. No offcor who giivcs his patronage - tronago to opponents of his party would hardly expect the support ot his party papers for a re-election. Neither would any individual who exorcised his personal prcforanco in voting against his'party ' nominees bo regarded by Ws associates as a sa'fo man to promote or worthy of the confidence or support of his party. Wo admit there is occasionally In stances in which an Individual would bo justified in'withholding his sup port from a party nominee or there might bo cases in which an officer would bo justified in withholding his support from his party paper. If a nominee was known to bo morally unworthy or Incapable and his nom ination was secured by unfair means or by these who did not know of hit unfltness then the partiscn would bo justified in seeking the party de feat rather than to compromise his iirliintnlnn of rlchtOUBUCSS. As an instance of the correctness of the principles wo maintain the present political situation in Nebras ka furnishes a practical illustration. The fuslonlsts had two candidates for governor. Ono candidate , D-ihl- mnn came out as a democrat and Shallonborgor sought the nomina tion as both a democrat and a pop ulist. Ills name appeared on both tickets. IIo was pledged to support thq principles of both parties and submit his will to the majority on tlio question of county option. Dahlmnn repudiated the pledges of his party , In conflict with his per sonal views and openly declared that should the legislature pass a county option bill ho would veto It and that should the legislature ropctil the S o'clock closing law ho would sign it notwithstanding his party in conven tion endorsed the 8 o'clock closing law. law.With With his defiance of his p arty platform and tlio majority rule ho ' received the democrat nomination by a minority vote of his party. This Is a case in which no democrat or populist could justly bo criticised for opposing their party nominee for the reason that ho was not nom inated by a majority of the demo- i52 POLAND CHINA DISPERSION SALE !

AV111 They Como Over The democrat candidates for the legislature still have a chance to get In tlio band wagon. Unless they como out and pledge their support to the republican candidate for gov ernor they will Uid themselves hopelessly in the minority on elec tion day. Who will bo the first to speak up ? Ri ( liard L. Metcalf , editor of Bry an's Commoner , is out in an open letter pledging his support to the republican candidate , C. Hi Aldrich , for governor. The letter is as fol lows : Lincoln , Nebraska Sept. 17 , 1910 Hon. Chester IT. Aldrich , David City , Nebraska. Dear Sir : I intend to give you my support in your candidacy for the office or governor of Nebraska. I have know your opponent , Mr. James C. Dahl- man , for more than twenty years , and would not join in any personal dispiungcmcnt of him. On the con trary , I respect him for certain ster ling finalities 1 know him to posses. But his nomination was secured through the active and notorious in- torfeienco In democratic primaries of the liquor interests and ho repre sents , admittedly , everything the 11- aquor interests desire in the way of legislation. He promises to ap prove a bill repealing the eight o" clock cloaing law and to veto a county option bill , and in every way stands as the frank * outspoken cham pion of the most obnoxious of all the spcci'il interests. It , would be difficult to make an issue clearer than the ono that has been forced upon the people of NebrasKa - brasKa through the bold and undis guised edict of the liquor trust. ' It is a bigger question than eight o' clock closing and a more important ono than county option. Ucsldcs it the personnllitlos of candidates sink into insignificance. "Shall the people ple of Nebraska surrender to polit ical power into the keeping of the liquor trust ; shall they put the stamp of approval upon that trust's executed threat to destroy a gover nor who dare go counter to its wish es ? " That is the issue as I under stand it. I respect every man's opinion on this question , but I am unable to see It In any other light than that a vet for Mr. Dahlnmn is a vote to deliv er Nebraska into the merciless keep ing of an institution that is respon sible for too many tears nndt o much sorrow to bo entrusted with the government of this great stato. As a democrat who from boyhood days has served Ills party , I am re luctant to do any thing that would oven temporarily sopernto me from party organization. But the demo cratic primaries recently hold were controlled by republicans , voting un der the leadership of the liquor in terests rathe than by democrats ; and if we must follow republican leadership then I prefer to choose the sort of republican leadership I am to have. ' In the exercise of this privilege I choose yon as nv candldato for go ornor and I am at your service. Yours truly , Richard L. Motcalfo. t . . . . Special Correspondence. Washington , Sept. 20. Nebraska has no bettor exponent in Congress for a downward revision of the tar iff than Hon. M. P. Klnkald. The Congressional Record gives ample evidence that ho voted uniformly for downward revision on all the sopor- ate schedule when the bill was first being formed in the house. Ho went as far for downward revision as any republican , and in most cases , as far as the democrats. In the last Congress Mr. Klnkald introduced and worked hard for a bill to place lumber and barlied-wlro' ' upon the tree Hat. While the tariff hill was bolng considered last spring { In the housu , Congressman Klnkaid , in making his argument in behalf of placing lumber upon the free list , uald : "Duties should bo taken off of lumber because the industry does not need it ; should be taken off because consumers stand in need of lower prices , which the profits of the lum bering business can stand ; should bo taken off to prevent high prices from going higher ; should bo taken off to prevent too rapid consumtion of our foiest , with the menace of ti lumber famine as a consequence and f the placing of ourselves at the com mercial mercy of foreign producers and foreign countries. " The propositions advanced by Kln kald evoked the strongest kind of op position from adherents to Dlngley duties on lumber , notably by the lut uongrssHinnn uusnmnn irom wasn- ington , who represented the great est lumbered region in the United States , and the American Lumber men. Cushmnn , who was one of the most forceful orators 'over sitting in the house , took occasion to openly pay high tribute to Mr. Kinkaid by saying that Kinknld's speech on free lumber was the ablest effort made on that side of the proposition and that it was indeed a strong present ation for the free lumber interests. Alexander Schlagel , chief of the surveying branch of the General Land Office at Washington ? was a resident of Rock county , Nebr.whcr Mr. Kinkaid officiated as district judge of that judicial district. At that time Mr. Cubhnmn and his brother commenced their practice of law in Rock county and they were close personal friends. Mr. Cush- man , after the tariff fight in the house , called upon Chief Schlagel and repeated his praise of Congress man Kinkaid's efforts in behalf of free lumber , and said he hoped the Nebraska people would appreciate Kinkald's work on this subject which was so vital to _ the interests of the slate. Both Senator Burkott and Con gressman Klnkald have been assail ed for their attitude on the barbed- wire schedule. This is not only tin- these two men worked hand-in-hand to have wire placed on the' free list. When it was found impossible to place barbed-wire on the free list , both Burkett and Kinkaid then set about to obtain as low a duty as pos sible. , It was with the assistance of their personal efforts and votes that the duty on barbed-wire was reduc ed from $2.70 to 75 cents per cwt. , which is an immense reduclion. Their nclivitics with respect to this sched ule is well known in both the house and senate. Inasmuch as revision In general was being taken up , it was found impossible for Congressman Klnkald to becuro a seperato vote upon this bill to place lumber and barbed-wire on the free list. However , his per sonal labors and vote aided in plac ing petroleum on the free list in tho" house wl on Speaker Cannaon wont down on the floor and made a personal fight against free oil. Congressman Kinkaid voted f * r the authorization of a tariff boarder or commission , recommendol by President Taft , which was adopted by congress. The sum of $250,000 was voted t\ > defray the expenses ot this commission in a study of tariff problems. Mr. Kinkaid never be lieved the tariff bill was the best that could bo secured at the time , but is , in its present fovm , he thinks a great improvement over the Ding- ley law. lie , like all the Nebraska republican monbers , voted for the bill in its final stage. IIo religously followed Instructions given Nebras ka congressmen by the Nebraska state convention to stand by Presi dent Taft in voting for the bill. "With tjils tariff board , " says Congressman Kinkaid , "my idea is that in the future revision will bo made according to President Taft's suggestion , ono schedule at a time. This will prevent the "log-rolling" hitherto prevalent between different protected Interests. Except for the combination made between shoe man ufacturers , tanners and lumber men and timbermen , in the recent revision , at least common lumber would have been placed on the free list. And , perhaps , shoos and lea ther would also have bc'en put on the free list as was hides. " Mr. Klnkald could never bo class ed as a "regular" In the house Ho has insurgcd as much as Norrls , Hayes or Pointdoxter.

He has been a f e of Cannon and Cannon- ism ever since tlio first uprising in the house and was found prominent ly identified with every move of the progressive up to the close of the last session. Kinkaid is not a man who seeks the lime-light for every act ho does , lie is a modest individual who moves quietly about and acomplishes things for his district. It would not bo an inju&tico to other members of the Nebraska delegation In the house to say that Congressman Kin kaid has passed more important leg islation for his district and state than any other member from Nebra ska. The Congressional Record amply bears out this statement. The fact that 'ho generally gets what he goes after makes him an important adjunct to the stato. When Mr. Kinkaid vJanls to got a bill through Congress ho is con sidered ono of the most persistent "loggers" for his proposition among his collogues. Ills friendship Is wide and Ids influence naturally Is above the average member of the house. That's the reason why Kin kaid haB obtained the enactment of certain land legislation for Nebra ska which was considered difficult to establish. L. W. Thavis. Senator Uuikett Ue- gins His Campaign.
