will require the republican party
to surrender its control over the
national government , we submit to
the intelligent men of all political
parties in Nebraska that the con
tempt shown by the republican
party for the public interests of

November election. "
Mr. Smyth moved that the plat
form as read be adopted and the
motion carried. Judge W. G.
Hastings asked to have the plat
form plank relating to the free
pass read again. The plank was
read.
Judge Hastings offered a motion
relating to the free pass question ,
making it unlawful for any person ,
excepting objects of charity and
employees of railroads to accept a
pass. He was asked to reduce
this to writing. While this was
being done , other resolutions were
ofl'ered and adopted relating to W.
J. Bryan's primary pledge plan ,
denouncing the acceptance of the
Rockefeller gift by regents of the
university , and expressing regret
at the illness of Judge Holcomb.
The last was drafted by Edgar
Howard. This resolution was a-
dopted unanimously by a rising
vote.
vote.A
A telegram was read from Jas.
C. Dahlman , saying that he was
side-tracked and unable to reach
the convention ; that the democratic
party has been in the same con
dition , but that it will get the right
of way in 1908 in carrying Bryan
to the white house.
Addition to Pass Plank.
Judge Hasting's resolution was
offered as follows , and was made
an addition to the pass plank in
; he platform :
"This convention emphatically
condemns the issurance of free
transportation for any purpose
other than in genuine cases of
charity or to bonafide employees
actually under pay of the issuing
corporation , and demands the a-
doption by the Nebraska legisla-
; ure of a law making the interna
tional acceptance or issuance of
such free transportation a criminal
offense as a violation of the prin
ciples of justice by a common car
rier. "
The additional resolutions adopt-
read as follows :
"With sincere regret we have
received intelligence of the im
paired health of Hon. Silas A.
rlolcomb , chief justice of Nebraska
a condition which renders impera
tive his retirement to private life.
3y the voice of the democracy of
our state Judge Holcomb was twice
called to the high position of gov
ernor , his record in that office re-
lecting credit upon himself and
lis political following. His six
years of service upon the supreme
) ench have been marked by a
rugged honesty and profound
erudition , winning for his judicial
decrees the approval of the people
of his state. We tender to Judge
rlolcomb our earnest sympathy
with the hope that he may be
speedily restored to health.
"We heartily approveof the
primary pledge plan as suggested
by W. Bryan and urge every demo
crat in Nebraska to formally make
the promise to attend all primaries
of the party between now and the
next democratic convention , unless
unavoidably prevented and to use
lis influence to secure a clear ,
lonest and straightforward decla
ration of the party's position on
every question upon which the
voters of the party may desire to
speak.
"We denounce the acceptance of
the Rockefeller gift by the regents
of the university , and demand the
withdrawal and the return to Mr.
Rockefeller of any money that
nay have been received from him/ '
Hastings for Supreme Judge.
Judge Hastings was placed be
fore the convention as a candidate
; or supreme judge and on motion
of P. L. Hall of Lancaster he was
nominated by acclamation.
Judge Hastings was called to the
platform. He declined to get up
on the stage , saying that he is tali
to be seen from the floor.
One delegate yelled : "Got up or
the platform ; we want to see ho\\
big yeu are. "
The Judge said that he has at
tended many gatherings of democ
racy , and that he is under obliga
tions to many present and to many
who have gone to their reward.
He said he knows something of the
work to be done in the office to
which he has been nominated , be
cause in the past he has been a su
preme court commissioner , and
has served eight years on the dis
trict bench. He appreciates the
import and difficulties of the po
sition. He believed that demo
crats should feel encouraged now.
When the republicans of Nebraska
reach and stand in the position
held by the democrats an 1 popu
lists in Nebraska fifteen years ago
it would seem that the future of
Nebraska is safe. Since the re
publican state convention the dem
ocrats should feel greatly encour
aged and should concern them
selves with seeing that the republi
cans keep their promises. lie de
clared for reasonable regulation
against the railroads or public ow
nership. If elected to the supreme
judgeship he will have little to do
with issues spoken of in the plat
form , but he would like to inter
pret some of the laws the republi
cans have threatened to pass. For
this office of supreme judge Ne
braska does not require nor desire
a partisan. All should be equal
before the law. Free passes vio
late the rule of equality.
Has Used a Pass.
Judj e Hastings admitted to hav
ing used passes in the past , and
strangely enough when that ad
mission was made a ripple of ap
plause swept over the audience.
He said he has none now , and that
no application of his is outstand
ing asking for railroad favors.
If he were now in practice the
judge said he would not hesitate to
accept a retainer from a railroad
company or corporation in a legiti
mate case.
Thanking the convention for the
honor bestowed , and promising if
elected to interpret the laws of Nei ! i
braska as best he could Judge
Hastings closed his speech of ac
ceptance , j
He was warmly applauded in
closing. Scarcely had he finished i
untils calls were made for Mr.
Bryan , and that gentleman re- ,
sponded and was introduced by. .
Chairman Shallenberger.
Word of Encouragement.
Mr. Bryan said he is glad to !
submit a last word before leaving
for his trip around the world to .
prepare himself for larger service '
and greater duties. He said he !
should be satisfied if this trip en- -
ables him to do better service for
the cause to which he has devoted
his life. The time for going , he i
thought , is opportune. He can j
be spared better now than at any .
time in the past fifteen years. It j
will take a year for the president
and senate to get together. The
democratic party has had trouble ;
but its trouble now is over. The
republican party is now entering i
its era of trouble. Democracy is ,
in better shape and stands abettor
show of winning than it did last i
year. One year ago the democracy ;
of the state met in Lincoln. It was j
not satified with the St. Louis coni i
vention. It was felt that a retro
grade step had been taken. De
mocracy learned by experience
that to win it must be democratic '
and that democratic position must
not be abandoned. The party was
rebuked for making concessions
as it has not been since 1872. It
was a democratic rebuke , not a re
publican victory. He showed by
figures where the democratic loss
in votes had been enormous while
the republican gain was not what
the natural increase in the voting
population should have given it.
There has been a decided growth
in democratic strength since last
November. There has been more
expression of hope , expectation
and determination. Speaking of
the St. Louis convention he said : !
" \Ve listened to those who prom
ised to win if we would consent to
cease offend. " Democrats are
moro united nmv and ropublicans
are more disorganized. Republi
cans today are entering the same
contest with organized wealth
1 which democracy has gone through.
i
' Preach Democratic Doctrine.
, Mr. Bryan said , and to empha-
, size it repeated that no republican
! is gaining popularity un'ess by the
advocacy of democratic doctrine.
. He said La Follette is the leading
1 reformer in the republican party
; today , and that he has made his
I fame by advocating democratic
doctrines. He has fought for the
i primary law and the primary sys-
. tern was a democratic institution
in the south before it was heard of
in the north. He has advocated
i regulation of the railroads , and
this democracy has advocated for
years. Democracy has insisted
for years that man cannot create a
creature greater than its creator.
The popularity of Cummins of Io
wa is due to the fact that he has
the courage to depart from beaten
republican paths. He has taken
up the democratic position on the
tariff , and declares that the tariff
shall not be used as a shelter for
the trusts.
By following democratic pre
cedent and adopting democratic
doctrine President Roosevelt is
popular today. In the great coal
strike he adopted the democratic
idea of arbitration. This was de
clared for in the platforms of 1896
and 1900. His party would not
follow his democratic suggestion
that a permanent board of arbi
tration be formed. lie said a
democratic president and congress
would have made a permanent
board of arbitration that would
have for all time ended strikes and
labor troubles.
The president had aruged for a
law increasing the scope of the in
terstate commerce commission , as
recommended by the democratic
platform , but he did not have pow
er enough to get this law through
the senate and the railroads now
believe they have effectuclly block
ed legislation for some time to
come. The National City bank of
New York has informed its cor
respondents in the financial world
that no railroad legislation need be
feared at the coming session. Re
ferring to the president's fight for
railroad regulation , Mr. Bryan
said : "I want democracy to stand
back of Mr. Roosevelt In this mat-
tor any man who arrays himself
on the side of the railroads should
be retired. "
He averred that democracy is
making progress in Nebraska. lie
hoped it is not too much to believe
that Nebraska's republicans are
making sonic progress , although it
seemed to him that the republican
platform committee was a little too
evenly divided. lie was glad to
note that the minority on the com
mittee , however , was equal to the
majority and brought in a plank
the convention seemed to want.
Every pass is not a bribe , but the
railroad has no right to single out
the parties for favors. It is unjust
and the speaker feared we have
too many men , who with passes in
their pockets , forget the rights of
the people. The crusade against
the pass is a righteous one. He
regarded a pass used for conven
tion purposes as demoralizing as
when used anywhere else.
Republican Reformers.
"I want to say to you that if
President Roosevelt has done
nothing else he has revealed to the
American people that there is a re
form element in the republican
party , " said Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan then dwelt on con
tributions from trust funds to the
republican campaign committee ,
and said that men who posed as
the especial champions of the wid
ows and orphans in 1896 will now
be compelled to return to the wid
ows and orphans funds illegally
taken. This agitation , he thought ,
will bring growth to democracy ,
legislation to protect trust funds ,
and punishment for those who vio
lated them. Democratic success
is not a menace. Democracy is
the champion of human rights.

ration Mr. Bryan said he never
felt more encouragement for de
mocracy than now. He felt demo
cratic success to be not far away.
"I am proud to be a Nebraska
democrat , " he said. "I am glad
to meet you , and I am grateful for
what you have done for me and
for the principles to which 1 am
devoted. " As Mr. Bryan left the
platform there was loud applause
while from the far corners came
two lusty "amens. " As he closed
the delegates began leaving the
hall , and the size of the convention |
was reduced by more than one-
half before the next order of busi
ness came up.
D. C. Cole of Osceola , and Louis
Lightner of Columbus , were nomi
nated for regents by acclamation.
The motion to nominate by accla
mation was made by W. D. Old-
ham. Edgar Howard said Louis
Lightner will get 1,000 majority
in Platte county over his republi
can opponent.
On motion of P. L. Hall the state j
committee was authorized to fill all |
vacancies on the state ticket and i
in the committee that may occur , j
The last formal action of the con- j
vention was to extend greeting
and Godspeed to Mr. Bryan. This
motion was offered by W. II.
Thompson , and was carried by a
rising vote.
During the debate on the anti-
pass resolution A. M. Glover of
Hamilton county opposed action
of this sort and said there was not
ten men in the convention who
would not accept a pass if offered
one. When the vote on the Hast
ings resolution was taken two "no"
votes were heard from the rear of
the hall. From last Thursday's
