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

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.

With his defiance of his p arty

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.

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. Ho has been
strongly Identified with the progressIve
Ivo movement to get rid of Speaker
(
Cannon , and. obtain a square deal.

that would make it' possible to place j
legislation on the statute books
which the people of jtho country are
strongly clamoring for. 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.
