Our Weekly Lincoln Letter Special Correspondence Lincoln , Nebraska. A Singer sewing1 machine of the latest and best pattern sells in Nebraska , Oklahoma and throughout the west for $00. This may be represented by a line thus : This same sewing machine is shipped 5,000 miles to Uruguay , South America , ; ind sold by the South American merchant for § 35 , which may be lepresented by a line thus : And the South American dealer pays ocean freight on it for 5,000 miles , ocean insurance and Uru guay import tax. Query , how much is the Ameri can buyer of American made sew ing machines benefited by the pro tective tariil'on sewing machines ? Twelve years ago Judge Ong or Nebraska was making democratic speeches in Indiana. At one place he was addressing an audience of farmers and said : "I want to ask you farmers a question , and I want to ask you to take time to think it over. After you have thought it over , write me your answer , addressing meat Ge neva , Nebraska. Here is the ques tion : "What is there that you farmers sell that you get more for , and what is it you buy that you get for less , on account of the protective tariil1 ? " A few weeks later Judge Ong received a letter from an Indiana farmer , who wrote : "I've been thinking your ques tion over and I have arrive 1 at the answer to it. The answer is : There ain't a d d thing. " If you want to get a definite line on the political outlook. Just ask yourselves these two questions : "Are there any men in my neighborhood who have habitually voted the republican ticket who are now supporting Bryan and Kern ? " "Are there any democrats in my neighborhood who are supporting Taft and Sherman ? " Here is a sample of what the an swer will be : James Watson is the postmaster at Marple , Box Butte county , Nebraska. He has alwas been a republican , but this year he is supporting Bryan. He says he has talked to many repub licans in his neighborhood , but so far as he is able to learn , only three are supporting Taft. Simi lar reports come with names and corroborating facts from every section of the country. The real facts of the situation are that the republican committee's private and confidential reports were so pessimistic that it was deemed imperative that Mr. Taft's campaign of "dignity and reserve" should be abandoned and a rear platform campaign inaugurated. After bloviating for ten or twelve years about Mr. Bryan's "undig nified methods of campaigning , and for weeks pointing with pride to the fact that their candidate would "observe the proprieties" and would not "belitt'e ' the dignity of a candidate for such high office , " the republican managers. , fearing and tremblLig , have abandoned that high and mighty position and Mr. Taft is striving to emulate an example that he and his managers so long denounced. All this is merely the last , for the time being of a long sequence. First they denounced Bryan for demanding that the Filipinos be treated as the Cubans had been treated , and the reply was. "Where the American flag has been raised it will never come down. " A few months later the American flag raised in Cuba came down. They denounced Bryan for advocating what they termed a 50-cent dollar , " and said there was plenty of money and only confidence was needed. Confidence was restored , the per capita circulation increased 50 per cent and then a republican con gress issued a no-cent asset cur rency. They denounced Bryan for making a campaign tour and now they put their own candidate on the stump. They ridiculed Bry an for dictating into a phonograph and before the echoes of their ridicule had died away their can didate was dictating into the phon ograph and selecting , too , the same topics that Mr. Bryan had The FSorshieni Shoe Xo other articles of wear deserves as mueli attention and care as the selection of your footwear.

They denounced Bryan for advocating a bank guarantee- arid now republican state conventions are endorsing bank guarantee. They denounced the idea of pub licity of campaign contributions and now seek favor by saying they will make public all contributions after election. From Wisconsin , Minnesota , Ohio , Iowa , Nebraska , Colorado , and from the Tacific coast comes the cry to the republican national committee : ' 'Come over and help us or we perish ! " The republican committee prac tically admits that Indiana is hopelessly - , lessly lost to the republican ticket this year. The special elections in that state last week showed clearly the trend of events. The legisla ture being called to meet in extra session , it was necessary to hold special elections to fill several va cancies in the legislature. The democrats were uniformly success ful registering , immense gains , while the republicans scored discouragingly - couragingly to them large loss es. es.The democratic state convention in New York was another huge chuck of gloom for the republican managers. They had counted on democratic dissension5 ? , especially in Greater New York , and they were dismayed when they discover ed that New York democrats were never so harmonious and never so unflinching and untiring in their support of the national ticket. The i nomination of Lewis Stuyvesanti Chanler will contribute hugely to democratic success in the Empire state. A millionaire lawyer , he spends his time as an attorney in taking the cases of the poor the friendless , and the helpless. He is known throughout the East Side in New York as ' 'the poor man's law yer. " lie was elected lieutenant governor on the independence league and democratic tickets when Hughes was elected governor. His nomination 1 ist week spikes the schemes of Uoarst so far as the league is concerned , and kills the last hope that Hughes will poll the "undivided good citizen vote. " Charter's no-nination is admittedly the strongest that could be made. S. J. Stearns , an ofn'cial of the United Garment Workers of A- mcrica , was in Lincoln last week. He reports that the general convention - ! vention of his union went on record - j cord as not only supporting the political policy of the American j Federation of Labor , but endorsed the democratic national ticket. The j Garnrent Workers' Union is especially - ( pecially strong in New York , Buf- fallo , Rochester , Albany and other cities in Empire state , and in Chi cago. Local after local of this un ion has endorsed the democratic ticket. "T have been as far east as To ledo , as far north as upper Wis consin , and as far west as Lincoln during the last live weeks. ' ' said Mr. Stearns , "and I find the same story everywhere among the un- j ion workers. They are support ing the policy of the Airorican Federation of Labor , and are going to vote for Bryan. Not because they are democrats for I houlJ judge that a majority were not democrats but because they seei in the election of Bryan and LCern ( Continued on last page. ) ' a We sell farming- implements as well as othei merchandise at reasonable prices.
