ity Samuel M Evans
Last week upwards of twenty five
democratic newspapers in Nebraska
bolted Dahlman and many more have
indicated an intention of bolting
him It is now up to them to be
sorely criticised for their action in
certain quarters Last week we got
ours It came from a pug nosed cur
in McCook whom Ave have long
known and whose enmity we consid
er an honor His criticism was fol
lowel by that of Editor Pontius of In
dianola a man whose record at Han
over and Washington Kansas smells
to heaven and whose wife is now
Senator Burketts Showing
Now that the smoke of the prim
ary battle is past it is more than
of passing interest to note the re
sult
The senator for instance carried
every county in the state over Ids
principal opponent except four coun
ties in the Fifth district where the
World Herald and other papers and
political enemies sought to make it
appear that the senaotr was oppo
to the renomination of Congressman
Norris
Senator Burkett had over 12000
votcB to the good over his chief op
ponent When it is remembered that
there were five candidates contesting
this is a better showing than was
made by any other candidate on the
Republican ticket This vote alone
establishes the senators standing
with voters of the state
His position in the estimation of
the great leader of Republican pro
gressives Ex President Roosevelt ws
well voiced by the colonel in Omaha
last week when he stated that Sen
ator Burkett was one of the men on
whom he specially relied s
The Republicans of Nebraska are
now confronted with the alternative
of returning to the United States
senate Elmer J Burkett a Republi
can so well endorsed by the Republi
cans of the state in the primary and
by Colonel Roosevelt or of being rep
resented by a Democrat in the per
son of the editor of the World Herald
Seriously there is no room for hesit
ancy on the part of any Republican
Senator Burkett will support Presi
dent Taft in his efforts to push along
the progressive policies of Col
I niinnrifrv To do Ipss nt this tirrmivniilri
do nought else but support the poli l
be worSQ tfaan ingratitudeit would be
cies of the party opposed to these of
this administration and of administra
tion of Former President Roosevelt
The duty of Nebraska Republicans
is clear and urgent
r J 1
During Ex President Roosevelts
visit in Omaha last week he voiced
an appreciation of Senator Burkett
wmen must oe a source ot large sat
isfaction to the senator and to his
friends in Nebraska Such an endor
sement coming from such a source
is of the highest worth After being
introduced by Senator Burkett the
former president stated in part
I am particularly pleased to be
introduced by Senator Burkett be
cause he was one of the men on
whom I especially relied while I was
president both while he was in the
house and in the senate On one
occasion he paid a tribute to me
which may have been entirely un
merited in which he described what
the typical American public servant
must be He said In the great
struggle of life he the good Ameri
can must be prepared to take the
side of the man rather than of the
dollar Old time methods in politics
old time ideals of governmental duty
and prerogative are relegated to the
junk shop of political antiquities No
man who is skeptical in his own
mind of the righteousness of the ad
vanced ground that the American peo
ple have taken socially or morally
can have their confidence No man
who is fearful of popular rule or is
more afraid of the peoples oppres
sion of predatory wealth with law
than of its oppression of the people
fcithout law is eligible to popular
esteem
In my own case Colonel Roose
velt continued All I can say is that
I have endeavored to live up to that
description and that I was able to ac
complish what I did accomplish in
Washington only because of the way
in which I was backed by men like
Senator Burkett and as we have a
guest from Iowa present let me say
also like Senator Dolliver
From the standpoint of the few
namely the distillers wholesale and
retail dealers in liquors and that
other limited number of citizens who
are benefited indirectly commercially
there might temporarily be some ad
vantage in the election of Dahlman
and the defeat of Aldrich and county
option but for the financial moral
and physical good of the many the
great mass of the producers and con-
suing mm for divorce at Fairbury on sumers or iNeorasKa ins success
grounds too indecent to publish in a I would be most deplorable a
newspaper and who will verify our grace and calamity announcing to
statements regarding him At the
town where he now resides his pa
per is locally known as The Car
rion This is all immaterial to our
Teaders but we mention it to show
what a newspaper man has to put up
with when he arises to assert his
independence The most lasting im
pression we gained at our mothers
knee was to stand for the things that
oj uj uiunc uicii uuuiei awu uuiucs
happier and if there is a thing in
the doctrines that Dahlman preaches
tiat the reverse condition will not
result from we will admit then that
we are no judge of decency or mor
als The average country press
stand for the moral development of
the country and thats why they can
not support Jim Dahlman the boozer
Riverton Review
the world as it would the mumiliat
ing fact that a majority of people of
this state favor a man for its chief
executive whose only distinction is
the fact that he takes bold pride
and blatant satisfaction in aiding and
defending the liquor traffic and that
he does not enforce or respect the
laws of the state or the ordinances
of the city of which he is mayor
against impurity gambling etc
Let the issue be clearly drawn and
met The campaign in Nebraska this
fall is not only a wet and dry issue
but a battle for law enforcement for
common morality and decency Let
Nebraska take no backward step this
fall by boosting into the governors
chair so unworthy a man as Dahl
man Let Nebraska advance and pro
gress upward

national figure of prominence in a com

the pride of the Republicans of his dis
