w. J. TAYLOR
Candidate for the Democratic and Populist
Nomination for Governor
This is a year of peace , yet it
cost this government 8130,000,000
for the maintenance of our navy.
-Rushville Standard.
.
Taylor has a record beginning in
the Nebraska legislature that is a
credit to any man. He was an eye
sore to the corporation suckers who
infested that body. Plattsmouth
I-I erald. _ . .
We hope to see every Populist
and Demorat in Sheridan county
cast their votes at the primary
for Ashton C. Shallenberger for
governor and Gilbert M. 1- itch-
cock for U. S. Senator. - Eushville
Standard.
.
\Ye were surprised Edgar
Howard's writeup of the democra-
tic state convention in his Colum-
bus Telegram last week. Seemed
to be about half sore all over , or 49I I
per cent coming and 51 per cent I
going. Take something for your : '
stomach , Bro. Howard , and come :
oat of it.
- - - - -
W. R. Patrick , candidate for gov-
ernsr on the democratic ticket , has
withdrawn his name from the pri-
maries with excuses prolific and
conflicting , realizing perhaps that
he had no support. This practically
assures the renomination of Gov. I
Shallenberger though Dahlman-
ites claim it will be to Dahlmau's
advantage as they expect Patrick's
following , as both were sore at the
governor. Queer situation.
Those who have everything at
stake can least afford to go into a
conflict. Better always a comp
romise than fight to lose. The
South rushed into conflict in 1860.
A. Lincoln's assasination though
for bitter revenge cost the south-
ern states their freedom for years.
The reconstruction of Johnson's
time might have all been avoided
were it not for this. Though
Johnson followed Lincoln's plan
it was not acceptable to the senate.
Lincoln could have done what
Johnson tried to do and we doubt
not - that he would have held that
the southern states were not sep-
erated from the union in their un
lawful l acts of secession.
4 It is not our purpose to stir up
dissension in the ranks of the dem-
ocratic party. We want another
administration good as the present.
Those who are contending for
more may have to take less. Let
us get together and unite in the
custom generally accorded a wor-
thy governor by a re-eleclion. He
is entitled to it. If he goes down

to defeat because- this strife and
contention the blame will rest up-
on Dahlman , Bryan , Metcalfe :
and Patrick , who can't easily be ex-
cused for the dissension they have
stirred up within our party. If
they take away Shallenberger ,
who can they give us to take his
place ? Who else can be elected I
and who could do as well as Gov. I
Shallenberger has done ? -
THE ISSUE
\V hen George Sheldon found
himself defeated in November , 1908 ,
he was sorely disappointed. He felt
confident of success and had assur-
ances from friends that his cam-
paign had been conducted along
lines to harmonize both the em-
-
perance or prohibition vote and the
saloon element , with which he had
had an understanding. Later
though in the campaign some of
the saloon men of Omaha , becoming
alarmed at the strength of Shallen-
berger , feared they would be given
the worst of it if he should be elect-
9
ed governor and should ] learn that
he got no support from their quar
ter. They switched , knowing they
were due to support Sheldon but
I
they , like I rats leaving a sinking
I ship , were trying to save their own
hides and risked a jump overboard
and rushed into the Shallenberger
band wagon with such gusto and
noise that everybody was made to
know it. They wanted the people
to know it , wanted the democratic
leaders to know it to curry favor.
They saw the handwriting upon the ;
wall. The saloon element is not '
slow to see the trend public opin I
ion and they wanted to make room
foi their bunch of fellows to be re
cognized and about one-half of them
voted for Snallenberger. Sheldon
got the other half. But that did ,
not suit him. He was defeated and II I I
blamed all because of the half that ;
didn't vote for him. In a rage he I .
wanted to call the legislature to-
gether and would have done so if he
could have secured sufficient prom-
ises , but in this he failed. This move
ment put the republican party to
the bad with the saloon forces who
had immediately burned their
bridges behind them when Sheldon
began sounding the legislature.
They were loud in their acclaim for
Shallenberger , who owed them hut
little for their half hearted support
but he sought not to injure nor pro-
tect them. As governor he did his
duty unto all as citizens. When the
eight o'clock closing law was placed
before him for his approval he was
visited by those"in its favor by great
numbers and almost threatened by
those whom it would pecuniarily ef-
fect in their business. Great throngs
waited upon him and demanded to
be heard. He heard them. To those
opposed to the bill he could not say :
"You are not entitled to speak upon
this question" nor could he refuse
them an audience to present views
they might have of which he had
I not considered. Nor could he re- /
I fuse lox listen to the voices of those
who represented the homes , the
mothers who waited for father to
com j , the children who with half
fed stomachs , saddened eyes , and
i burdened hearts , knew not how to
ask for protection.
Ex-governor Poynter undertook
the task of pleading for the loved
one . He ha'd been governor of
this state and sought to. counteract
the opposite influences. He pleaded
with all his eloquence and power
and fell dead as he closed his plea.
It was a touching scene. Who would
reopen Fuch a campaign by , con-
demning Gov. Shallenberger for
signing the billVho but the
greedy for gain would ever question
his action or motive in signing the
bill ? It was a sacred hour that
should remind every campaigner ,
voter and citizen in the state that
Governor Shallenberger did right.
And right here let me add that
if he had not signed that bill the
cry would have been taken up
like John Brown of earlier days
and the forfeit would be every
saloon in the state. Why not be
satisfied and let well enough alone ?
Dahlman is taking the one ex
treme and Bryan the other. Gov.
Shallenberger is entitled to a re-
nomination. Has made a faith-
ful governor in whom we can place
our confidence that all will be well
in this our beloved state with his
guiding hand in\the ship of state.
Let us be right. ' '

Protection , Makes Politics a Business
Proposition
In the last . Congressional elec-
tion for instance , the tariff trusts
spent large sums of money to
bring about the election of candi-
dates who had secretly -or other-
wise pledged themselves to revis-
ion upward.
These contributions to the re
publican campaign fund were in-
vestments in every sense of the
word. The trusts figured that if
republicans were elected the tariff
on the particular commodities in
which they dealt would be kept
sufficiently high to bar out compe-
tition and assure them monopolies
on American markets.
With this end in view the tariff
trusts and combination of manu-
facturers contributed liberally to
republican ' campaign funds.
The expenditure of this tainted
raonoy enabled the republicans to
I , dominate congress. The tariff
I was revised upward. The manu-
facturers were given their monqp-
olies. Prices were boosted.
The result is that the people are ,
now repaying to the tariff trusts ,
in increased prices , not only the
amounts invested as contributions
to the campaign fund , but they
are also ; paying profit varying
from 100 to 1000 per cent beside.
And in the meantime the big
corporate interests have taken the
reigns of government out of the
hands of the people , into their
own , for safe keeping. Such is
the milk in the protection cocoanut.
Government By Money
It cost Joseph C. Sibley § 40-
698.83 to win the republican nom-
ination for Congress in the Twen-
ty-eighth district of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Sibley received 10,446 votes
at the primaries , and each vote re
presented an expenditure nearly
$ :1 : . As his plurality was only
689 it is fair to say that his nomi-
nation was brought about by the
mere power of money.
At the primaries in the Thir-
teenth district of Pennsylvania
John Dalzell spent 9,200 , most I
of which was contributed by pro-
tected manufacturers. The com-
bined expenditures of Sibley and
Dalzell in these two districts were
nearly 50000. . Their combined
salaries as representatives in con-
i gress for two years will be only
! 30000. . Their nominations ,
therefore I , cost almost 20,000
more than the emoluments of their
. office , exclusive of mileage and
stationary allowences.
