Since Gov. Shallenberger has
t
intimated that he will be a candi-
Ii
Il , h date for re-election , Nebraska
hc c democracy has a simple duty to
perform. The governor should
be nominated without a contest
in the primaries. No reason has
been given , none can be given ,
I why he should not be re-nominat
ed. The democra ts - of this state
should rise as one . man ' and show
'l ' *
their appreciation of a competent
and faithful official. By so doing ,
> - V
t
; I the party will prove itself not only
just , but 4 wise.
For years , Gov. ' Shallenberger
has battled for democratic princi-
- pies. His fight . in 1907 , , though
unsuccessful at the polls , resulted
in the. mucH' reform
in . enactment of . . . .
legislation. ] A conspicuous ex-
- ample of * this legislation \ * is r * the
'
' '
r two-cent'fare law. In 1908 , at the
head of the state ticket he led the
democracy of . Nebraska in _ the - f _ first ' _ 3 r- .
successful battle it bad made in a
.
' -
decade. In that contest Vf. , he re-
1 ceived more votes than were ever
given to any other democrat in
I
Nebraska. : Every pledge made
r - '
by the state democracy in that
, campaign has been redeemed. Had
it not been for the leadership and
a ,
I guidance rf Gov Shallenberger ,
i the last legislature would , not have
I i
: ! j been able " to redeem all of the
I
I
1 ; , ! party pledges. Largely through
; II i , ,
r . I the efforts . of , the governor , the
I * * t * '
11.1 ! . I democrac " " . . " * -ob ' ' this < v . state kept faith
} l.i t . : : f with the . ' people' : No just criticism
l [ 1 can = be made of administration.
; II , :1 : 1 He has p , discharged all duties ably ,
. vv
! i i ' hone tly : . . ? and . fDjthf ally. His of-
.
ficial * repord is such that there is
' room-for debate demo-
' \ no r - among -
' '
r a
- I c ra tsfox the last democratic . state
f' ' convention endorsed all of his of-
} , . . ' - , '
ficial conduct. The. citizenship of
Nebraska . , generally , is pleased
, and endorses his administration.
j The only complaint , heard , comes .
from .certain selfish interests ,
which have not been able to die
l , t-ate to and control the governor.
.J t I These . " interests " have planned to' '
I ; humiliate . and intend to harass him I
I } I in every way they can. These
J 1 * 'interests" are forcing a fight on
. I ' the governor in the democratic
, primaries for re-nomination. They
J i I have no , hope of defeating him for
re-nomination. The sole
- object is.
: : t ) , I . to , create ill-feeling and dis-satis- I
'I I
, ! faction. In that way , the inter- -
J ; I ' ests " hope to weaken his cause at

any republican that may be nomi
nated. They also know that any
democrat who would contest the
nomination with . , him in the pri
.
maries would l have small chance of
election at I the polls. ] .
Every'personadvised as to the
political situation' , iii . the state
knows that the foregoing j is a plain
statement of the present ' status of
the gubernatpr-ial ' , political ' situa-
tion. Every thoughtful l democrat
' . - knows = i that it -will be political . sui
cide to defeat I Gov. Shallenberger
. for re-nomination. The - r pub1i-
can leaders have been so strong in
this belief that for months , through
their press , they have attempted
to induce the governor to be a
candidate for United . . States . eena-
tor. Republican leaders know : that
if the governor would consent to
be a candidate for senator , there
would - be practically be no oppo-
sition to the republican ticket.
The strength of democracy lies in
tha fact that Gov. Shallenberger
will lead the democratic state tick-
et as a candidate for re-election. ,
In view of this condition , what
is the . plain , duty of the rank and
file of the democratic party ? What
is the plain , duty ' Qf the democratic "
press ? Is it wise to remain silent "
and allow the breweries and other
selfish interests to handicap and
harass the governor ? Is is not the
chity " of democratic newspapers to
announce at once that they are for
Shallenberger and give the reasons
for the faith that is in them The
rank and . file of democracy is for
Shallenber.ger It is sheer folly
to remain . neutral in the contest.
Those leaders who think they can.
remain neutral in the contest be-
tween Shallenberger and the
, breweries and other . . . selfish inter-
ests in the primary . V = v contest do not
know the temper of democracy in
Nebraska.
Let us be plain , gentlemen. If
. you are on the side of . the , pepple
and in favor of pursuing a. wise
party policy , announce him from
the . hill tops and through the press
'I '
that you are in favor of Shallen-
berger'.s : ' .re-nomination. ; . If you
are on the side of the breweries
.
and other selfish interests , an-
nounce that you are opposed to
Sha l1en berger. - Arapahoe Pio

Mr. Taft's Injustice to Himself.

, On the 22nd of. ptember , 1908
Mr. : Taft , then a candidate , said at
Chicago :
"The revision of the tariff which '
republicans desire is a revision I
which shall reduce excessive rates
and at the f same time preserve the
. .
i industries of the country * * : : * I
wish there to be no doubt in re
spect to the revisions of the
.
tariff. "
On the 16th of December , 1908 ,
Mr. Taft , then president-elect ' ,
said in New York City :
HUnless'we act in accordance
. .
* : ; " *
with our promises " we shall
be made accountable to the Ameri-
. ,
can people and suffer such con-
sequences as failure to keep : faith
has always been visited with. It
would be better to have no revision
at all unless we are going to hon-
estly and fairly revise the tariff on
the basis promised by our purty. "
On the 30th of June , 1909 , Mr.
Taft , then president of the United
States , said in New Haven :
. - " . Now . I . venture * to say that if
the republican party does not live ]
up to its promises , , and what the
people expect of it , it will pe rele-
gated to ' a position-like i that of his
majesty's position-- " " .

"Test your : seed corn" is the'
cry today. : It has been demon .
strated that less than 30 per ' cent' :
of the corn raised last year is fit
"
for seed. The early opening of
the winter caused a lot of the.corn . I
to remain in the } fields - - - - and a lot
of it yet remains unhusked. This
corn is not showing up well in the

to be very careful in selecting

The democratic students of the

steps looking towards the organi-
zation of a democratic club , and ,
the first meeting to discuss the

matter was an eye-opener because :
of the number present and the en-
thusiasm displayed. The , club
will be organized and perfected
before the close 'Of the university

the chief objects is to misinform
the public 'as to the actions
.
of the governor. It is
!
. constantly trying . to convince the .
' , public that the governor is neglect-
the state's business in order to
travel around. It is true that
Gov. Shallenberger is absent from
office more than was his immediate
, ,
predecessor , but Gov. Shallen-
berger is attending to vastly- more
business than any of his prede-
cessors. . Being a business man he
: is able to transact business more
speedily than any of his predeces-
sors , and his travels have been
/
forced-upon him by the wonderful
:
growth of the state. He has lec
tured on the university extension ,
course , addressed farmers' insti-
tutes and appeared before gather
ings of business men held for the
purpose of considering hov best
to conserve and promote the wel-
fare of the state. While Gov.
Sballenberger has traveled more I
than any other governor Nebraska'
has ever had , he is also better in- ;
formed as to the state's needs and :
is better able to judge as to what I
should or should not be done to
advance the'state's best interests.

In the "Big Sixth" Uncle Mose :
Kiukaid has his work cutout for
him. The revelation of Uncle
Mose's connection with the Alaska
land grabs has made Uncle Mose
squirm , and the way he is trying
to explain creates a lot of laughter.
Shumway of Scottsbluff and Tay-
lor of Ouster have announced
themselves as candidates for the
democratic nomination , and either
of them would probably retire
Uncle Mose to private. Taken as
a whole the outlook for an increas-
ed democratic re' p resentation in
congress is far brighter than usual.
