BRYAN of Nebraska. For Vice President : J. W. KERN of Indiana. BRYAN'S PROPHECIES AND THEIR FULFILLMENT. ELECTION OF SENATORS BY THE TEOI'LE. i Mr. Bryan has been abvocating the election of senators by the people for eighteen years , and predicting that the reform would come. Now candidate Taft con fesses that personally he is "in- dined to favor it" although the Republican Convention turned it down. TAIUFF REFORM. For twenty years Mr. Bry an has been pointing out the injustice of a high tariff to the farmers and predicting that they would turn against it , and now public senti ment in favor of tariff reform is so great that the Republican Conven tion was compelled to promise to call a special session of Congress after the fourth of March ne.vfe when the election is over to revise the tariff. T11E TRUST Q U ESTION. For fifteen years Mr. Bryan has been pointing out the evils of pri vate monopoly and predicting that the trust would become intolerable. Xow a majority of the people rec- dgnize that the private monopoly is indefensible and must go. C.UARANTEEI ) HANKS. For fourteen years M r . Bryan has been trying to secure the protection of bank depositors by a law which will raise a guaran ty fund by a small tax upon the bank deposits and he has predicted that the people would finally de mand this reform. Sentiment in favor of it , has grown so rapidly * in recent years that Oklahoma has adopted it. A Republican Gover nor in Kansas has called a session of the legislature to secure its adoption - doption and it has been' urged in both branches of the national con gress. It is coming. IMPERIALISM. Mr. Bryan warned the country in 1000 against the evils of imper ialism and predicted that we would not continue to celebrate the Fourth of July , if we permanent ly denied the principles of the Declaration of Independence. In our dealing with the Filipinos the people have come to see the evils of imperialism and the opposition to it is so great that the Republi can candidate for president has been compelled to declare , in fa vor of the independence of the Philippine Islands , although he puts the clay of iadepedencc off for two generations. We are spending on the army and uary more than § 120,000,000 a year in excess of the amount spent on them eleven years ago. What republi can will now say that imperialism is a success , or deny that its prin ciples are dangerous ? THE LAI5OR QUESTION. Mr. Bryan has , since 1896 , been insisting that the laboring man be given a trial by jury when he is charged with indirect contempt and predicting that his right to a 1 ORGANIZATION DAY , SEPTEMBER 15. The local clubs are the ground work of the state organization. The suc cess of this campaign depends largely on the local clubs. It is therefore uryed upon all true friends of Mr. Bryan to see to it that a local club is organixed in every city and village , and when possible , in county precincts. September loth has been designated as linal organization day , for the organisation of clubs where they have not already been organized. Let each voter who believes in the principles advocated by Mr. Bryan take it upon himself to see that his locality has a Bryan club at the close of that day. No special form of organization is required , but should anyone engaging in the * ork desire forms and literature to guide him he can get them by addressing C. M.Gruenther , Sec'y , Columbus , Neb. Upon the organization of a club the president or secretary w.ill kindly lill out and mail to the above address the following form : .Nebr 21)08. ) To C. M.

Public sentiment is now overwhel mingly in favor-of this proposition although Mr. Taft- the father of government by injunction , still re fuses to endorse this reform. MONEY. i For years Mr. Bryan pointed out the necessity for more money. The unexpected discovery of gold , and the consequent increase in the volume of money has brought the alvantage which he claimed would follow from a larger circulatiwn , and today we have fi ty per cent per capita more than we had'm 1896 twenty-two dollars per cap ita then , thirty-three dollars per capita now What Republican would be willing to retire the in- crqase and go back to the quantity that the country had when Repub licans said we had enough ? WAR-LIKE SPIRIT. The man who placed President Roosevelt in nomination in 1901 delivered a e u 1 og y o n war , and represented President Roosevelt as the god of war. Mr. Bryan criticized tjhe eulogy and maie a plea of peace. Now the bringing of peace between Russia and Japan is not only credited to the president , but praised as his greatest public act. Who was right ? I'L'IJLICITY. Mr. Bryan has for a 'number of years favored a law compelling publicity as to campaign contribu tion before the election and he has predicted that the reform , would come. The Democratic platform a-id the Democratic committee have declared for this reform. The Republican convention turned it down , but Mr ! Taft has at last been brought to the advocacy of publication after the election. VALUATION OF RAILROADS. Mr. Bryan has for several years favored legislation which will auth orize the Interstate Commerce Commission to ascertain the value of the railroads and has predicted that this reform would come. The Republican convention turned this down , but the President and Mr. Taft admit that it would be well to find out what the railroads are worth. INCOME TAX. Mr. Bryan helped to frame the income 'tax law in 1S94 , and was bitterly denounced by the Repub licans for so doing . He predicted that the people would finally come to it. Now the Republican presi dent and the Republican candidate for president admit that the income tax is just although the Republi can convention ignored the subject. This is some of his con = structive statesmanship isn't it a pretty good re = cord ? Contest Notice. U. S. Land Ofiiec. Broken Bow , Nebraska , i August 11.

THREE KILLED IN WRECK NEAR KlLGORE , NEBR About 8:30 : o'clock last Sunday morrHng an extra ran into another extra about a half mile west o1 Kilgore , completely demolishing the way car and two stock cars. Four stockmen were in the way care at the time , two of whom were killed outright and the other two injured , one fatally , and died Mon day. day.The The dead : George Kennedy. Foster Speas. Malcomb M. Hawkins. -The injured : S. F. Brower. Doctors -were summoned im mediately and Drs. Compton and Hoxsey and Coroner Lewis went up in the baggage car of No. 6 , which was sent down after them. The two dead and two wounded men were brought to Valentine about 9 o'clock Sunday morning and the injured were tak en to Mrs. Sears' residence where one of them -died at 7:42 : the next morning. An inquest was held at 10 a. m. Monday at which the two train crews were in attendance. After the testimony of the train crews was taken the jurors expressed desire to view the scene of the wreck and were taken there Tues day forenoon on a special , re turning in the afternoon. Through the courtesy of Judge F. M. Wal- cott , who is representing the rai road company , we were privilegec to be one of the party. The spec ial went a mile the other side o the wreck and then backed down slowly to the wreck , giving the coroner and jury a chance to view the curves and grades immediate ly preceding the .wreck and to cor roborate the testimony of the train men. men.At At 8 o'clock Tuesday evening the coroner and jury met at "W. D. Armstrong's office 'and after due deliberation arrived at the joj- | lowing verdict : "Find that the said above named parties came to their death from injuries received in a rear end collision on the morning of August 30. 1908 , at about 3:30 : a. m. , about three-quarters of a mile west of Kilgore , Cherry county , Nebraska , on the C. & N. W. rail road , the accident being caused , in our opinion , through the criminal negligence of the officials , the train dispatcher and trainmen of the C. & N. W. railroad. In testimony , whereof , the said jurors have hereunto set their hands the day and year aforesaid. W. T. KINCAID. W. S. JACKSON. W. D. ARMSTRONG. H. W. GRAHAM. W. A. PKTTYCREW. W. B. H'AMMOND. Attest : AT.FRKD LEWIS , Coroner. . The testimony showed that the train which the above named stock men were riding on left Cody at 13:00 : a. m. and the train following left the coal chute at Cody at 3:13 : , the conductor getting onto the engine at the depot and handing Lhe orders to the engineer who pulled on out. The testimony also showed that the distance between Cody and Kilgore was about 16 miles , and that the head train was making ibout 25 miles an hour , while the rain following was making 35 niles an hour the speed limit. The flagman on the head train testified that as soon as he could jet off he started back up the track o flag the train following which tvas only two or three minutes be hind. , Nenzel is about half way be tween Cody and Kilgore and has 30 operator. If an agent had been kept at Nenzel the accident would probably never have happened , as ihe rules of the road forbid trains o leave stations less than 15 min utes apart. The eiigineer and fireman on .he rear train both jumped before aitting the way car and escapt4 tvithout seriou s injury- The en gine was badly wrecked. 110 sheep , were killed. The stockmen were from No- .vood , Wyo. MACHINES New Home , New Royal and other Good Makes , ' Needles.
