Hon. A. C. Shallenberger ,
Governor-elect of Nebraska
This Noble
Crows for the
Entire State
Ticket.
E To
W. H. Taft has been elected
president. He was not the choice
of the people of Nebraska but the
eastern republicans seemed to have
felt satisfied with him. In the
last days of the campaign Rocke
feller and Carnegie gave out state
ments that they favored Taft and
their influence was felt throughout
the land. Their money paid num
erous bills for campaigning in
doubtful districts and a parade of
the business men of New York on
tie eve of election and other pa
rades were furnished with plenty
of red fire. 1C very effort at the
last was made to swing New York j
for Taft , and during the lust week
in the campaign a large gating
vote was lauded safely for the in
junction candidate who promised
most favorably to the corporation
interests. This was not all. Dur
ing the past few weeks of the
campaign labor leaders were called ,
upon by the g. o. p. managers of j
the campaign to announce their
position. This placed many of ;
them in contempt of their employ
ers if they did not indorse Taft ,
and 1-heir positions were sacred.
Their-wnploynu'nt wrs necessary
for their 'familiesood. . They
were ; perhaps in , , of promo
tion for long and faithful service
and their votes and their influence
were expected to support their
[ employer's interests as loyal and
faithful employees. Can we com
pete for their votes ?
We can appeal to the home
builders of America ; t > the fath
ers who are raising families of
children and find their wages con
sumed each pay day in high priced
food and clothing which the tariff
places beyond the purchasing pow
er of the = ; e out of employment ,
hence the necessity for them to be
constantly employed or go hun
gry , poorly clad and cold. It
means much for the father to lose
his job or for his employer's mill
to close down. A warning that
unless Taffc is elected the "trill"
will be indefinately closed , all
hands layed off with no employ
ment in sight and no money saved
up will influence men to temporarily
arily postpone reform in hopes of
a more favorable time to begin.
Men do not invite disaster gen
erally. They would gladly change
the system if by some means they
could tide over the disaster of
temporary non-employment.
But the vote has been cast and
once more the republicans are giv
en charge of our national govern
ment. There is a responsibility
which each republican voter ought
to assume. They will be held ac
countable for this administration ;
for the wealth stolen from the
people in the robber tariff ; for the
exhorbitanfc prices that people
of all classes must pay for the ne
cessities of life. Their only ex-
c ises of paying higher wages
when addressing the laboring people
ple and making high prices for
farm products when talking to
farmers seems to satisfy each , yet
how long can either exist when
their wages stop or their crops
fail. It is a fast pace that , like a
cream separator , whirls the sur
plus money into channels pouring
into the treasuries of the already
bloated millionaires. Men who
sell their brains for the services of
these wealthy conspiring corpora
tions are selling the liberties of
the common people , for genera
tions to come , for only a wage
hire. They are the real tcaitors
to their country. Is it less a crime
to play traitor in times of peace
than in war ? Should we not hold
men responsible for traitorous de
signs upon our peoples' liberty ?
W. J. Bryan has been defeated
for election the third time but is
just as much the choice of the
American people as ever and it is
they who have chosen Mr. Bryan
as their standard bearer and it is
an insult to them to speak of Mr.
Bryan's being a candidate contin
uously for office. Mr. Bryan has
not forced himself upon the people
as a candidate for office. Though
defeated a third time he is greater
than those who defeated him.
Lasting tribute will be paid to his
memory when no good deeds will
be remembered of those who oppose -
pose him. Though gone down in
defeat at the much corrupted ballot
box he is the hero of the world today -
day and his name will live forever.
Thrice defeated for the highest
honors of the world , he is greater
than those who accomplished his
defeat or were chosen in his pre
ference. May he live long yet to
guide the destinies of the Ameri-

The Democrats have carried
Nebraska by a safe plurality and
the whole state ticket is elected.
The legislature will be Democrat
ic and five of the six congressmen
elected with the 4th District in
doubt. Kinkaid claims to bfe
elected in the Big 6th but the
Omaha Bee and a special report
last night conceded Westover
elected to congress. Bryan and
the State ticket are safe by SOOO
and possibly 15000 when the qf-
