THE KEARNEY DEMOCRAT
EDITORIAL
There has been some misappre-
hension among Cherry county dem-
ocrats as to where Mr. Dahlman
stands , though most of them know
him well and admire him for his
Andrew Jackson characteristics.
The Kearney Democrat calls forth
. a response from Mr. Dahlman that
Cherry county people will be inter-
ested in knowing and we want every
reader to give Mr. Dahlman a fair
and partial trial before they con-
demn him. It is only fair to Mr.
Dahlman. Read it :
"The Democrat asks , in the name
of the democrats of Nebraska , and
particularly of Buffalo county , that
James C. Dahlman , , if he is to be a
candidate for governor , should tell
them whether he intends to stand
fairly and squarely upon the demo-
cratic state platform.
Mr. Dahlman says he is not a
'four-flusher , ' a 'straddler' or a
coward. We know he is not the lat
ter , and for that reason we are now
going to ask him a few fair and
square questions , and we desire that
they be answered in a public man-
ner that "every democrat in the state
may know and have an intelligent
understanding just where he stands
in regard to the democratic party
and its platform , upon which Mr.
Dahlman must stand , if he stands
as a democrat , or from which he
must descend if he is not going to
openly and squarely abide by its
utterances :
The following pertinent planks
are an important part of the demo
cratic platform adopted at Grand
Island : " . ' 1.
'We heartily approve of the day-
light saloon law and we recommend
the courageous action of Governor
Shallenberger in approving it : .
'We stand for , and insist upon a
strict enforcement of our present
law and believe that any further
changes in our liquor legislation
ought to be decided by a direct vote
of the people.
'We favor providing for the in-
itiative and referendum.
'We pledge our local committees
and the state committee and our
candidates not to accept contribu-
tions from any railroad or other
corporations , trust , brewery , , distil-
lery , or saloon or organization or
from any person or association or
pecuniarily or prejudicial interest
in securing or defeating legisla-
tion. :
"These are the features of the
democratic state platform which
Mr. Dahlman is requested to p ain-
ly , clearly and without equivocation
\
or evasion answer and tell the party .
'
just where he stands.
,
We want to know if you 'approve
the daylight saloon law , ' and wheth-
er you will sign or veto a bill , should
such a one pass the legislature , re
pealing that law ?
We want to know whether you
are in favor of the 'strict enforce .
ment of our present laws , ' which
includes the daylight saloon law ?
We want to know if you are go-
ing to refuse 'to accept any contri
butions from any railroads , corpo-
rations , trusts , breweries , distiller-
ies or saloons. '
Your party platform makes it
plain what is expected you as a
candidate , and the party has a right
to know whether you propose to
stand upon its declarations. You
have the reputation of being out-
spoken and open in your purposes
and declarations and not 'strad-
ler , ' and we are certain you will tell
the democrats of Nebraska that you
are standing upon their platform ,
or that you : ale not. "
This is .Mayor Dahlman's reply :
"My attention has been called to
an article in the Kearney Democrat
which asks me 'a few fair , square
questions. ' It is desired that these
questions 'be answered ; a public
manner , ' in order , the Kearney pa-
per says , that every democrat in the

state may know just where I stand
in regard to the democratic plat I
form.
The Kearney Democrat is no more
anxious to have the people know I i
exactly where I stand than I am
I
myself. ) I have never had a con-
viction I was ashamed of or afraid | 1
of. I don't expect to win or don't j
want to win by fooling anybody. I
want to deal fairly and frankly with I
the people of my s ate. If they
agree with me I would be grateful
for their . support , but I have no de
sire to gain any man's support un-
der false pretenses :
These are the planks of the dem-
ocratic platform as to \\hich the
Kearney Democrat wants to know
where I stand :
First-The daylight saloon law. .
Second-Strict enforcement of our I
present laws. .
'l'hird-The initiative and referen-
dum.
dum.Fourth
Fourth-Campaign contributions
Fifth-County option.
I will state my position with re
gard to each of them , and try to do
so in such a way that no man can
misunderstand me.
I was opposed to the daylight sa
loon law at the time of its passage
as a denial of the right of home
rule and local self-government. I
think now exactly as I did then. I
am a democrat , , however , and I stand
on my platform. If any effort
should be made in the legislature to
repeal this law , I should lend it not
the slightest encouragement or sup-
port , either personally or officially.
I shall instigate no such effort my-
self. I realize that this law has
given satisfaction in many commu-
nities , though it has failed to give
satisfaction in others. I think that
any effort to repeal it at this time
would be inopportune and unwise ,
in view of the more important ques
tions that confront us. If , however ,
the legislature should , of its own
motion and without any assistance
on my part , repeal this law , I would
sign the bill repealing it.
I stand squarely for strict en :
forcement of our present laws , in-
cluding the daylight saloon law. It
is because I stand for strict law en-
forcement that I am opposed to
county prohibition and to state pro
hibition. I think a reasonable tem-
perance law , like the Slocumb law ,
which can be enforced and which the
people respect , is a better temper-
ance measure than a radically re
strictive policy , like prohibition ,
which cannot be enforced and which
makes for lawlessness and disrespect
for the law. I think the strictly reg-
ulated saloon , operated under the
sanction of a majority of the people
of the community , and with its
hours of opening and closing ] fixed
by law , is far less harmful than the
unregulated illegal drinking . . joint
would be , operated at all hours of
the day and night , paying no license
and subject to no supervision. One
good law that can be enforced is
worth a hundred that can't be. The
latter do far more harm than good
I think our present liquor laws can
be enforced and I pledge myself , if
elected , to their enforcement.
I am in favor of the initiative and
referendum.
As a candidate forgovernor I will
resuse 'to accept any contributions
from any railroads , corporations ,
trusts , breweries , distilleries , or sa
loons' as well - as from any person
whom I know to be 'pecuniarily or
prejudicially interested in securing
or defeating legislation : There
never was a time when I did not'
depend on the plain people rather
than on the wealthy and favored
classes for my support. I have
been recklessly attacked as 'the can-
didate of the brewery , ' but every
man who knows me knows that I
am fighting prohibition , not be-
cause the brewers are also fighting
it , but because of my love for per-
sonal liberty and the rights of the
humblest citizen to enjoy the privi
leges which our form of government
intended him to have. It is to the
plain people that I shall look for
support in this campaign , for it is r t
their battle I am fighting.
I
I am opposed to county option ,
first , last and all the time. I should
veto a county option bill ! ] , if the leg
islature passed it. I should do this '
I'
the more readily since it is a matter

of common knowledge that some
county option constituencies in the
older w > rtions of the state-enjoy as
much as three times the representa-
tion in the legislature as do anti-
county option constituencies in' oth-
er portions. This state might , on i
direct vote , go against county option
by 20,000 majority snd still , owing 1
to an unfair apportionment , elect a
coanty option legislature. But if i i
this state elects me governor there
will be no county option law except
over my veto.
I regard county option as the first'
step to state l prohibition. So does
the Anti-Saloon league and it frank-
ly says so. So do all the other or-
ganized forces that are fighting for
county option. There is no differ-
ence in theory or practice between
county prohibition and state prohi-
bition. Each denies to a communi-
ty the right to govern itself. Each
would give to one town the power I
to vote prohibition on another town
without its consent. Each is a man-
ifestation of fanaticism , intolerance
and bigofry. Either would lead to
lawlessness and secret vice and
crime. I am everlastingly opposed
to both.
I have tried to answer the Kear-
ney Democrat frankly. I hope I
have satisfied both its editor and all
other citizens who may have some
doubt as to my attitude. If there is
anybody who still doubts , all he has
to do is to ask me. And he may be
sure that , after I have answered ,
my course after election will be ex-
actly in keeping with my promise to
I I the people made before election.

"I , Am Throunh With It"
So spoke Senator Dolliver ] of
Iowa. He meant that he would
never again raise his voice , either
in , the Senate of the United States
or from the stump , in defense of
excessive protection.
I
I _ "I do not propose , " declared
! Dolliver , "that the remaining years
I of my life shall be given up in dull
: consent to the success of all these
.
. conspiracies. ( Conspiracies in the
PayHe-Aldrich bill. ) I intend to
fight as a republican for a free
market on th's continent. "
In other words , the mighty Dol-
. liver , for years ; an ardent protec-
tionist , is conscience stricken. For
. years ; he has implored the people
to believe in protection. Suddenly
he stops and looks about him. He
beholds the work of his own voice.
The people are crying out at the i
increased prices that have accom
panied the system of protection. I
Dolliver himself declares that
.
the special interests have got con-
trol of the government , and that
the many are being outrageously ] :
robbed by the few. His eyes
opened , he is appalled at the mag- : I
nitude of the sins that protection i
has visited upon republic and peo-
ple. ]
ple.The
The experience of the United
States with protection is not new
or peculiar in this country. Ger-
many boasts of its high protective I
tariff , and even while it boasts the
German masses are turning to
socialism by hundreds of thous-
ands. Italy , one of the most highly
protected nations of Europe , is
pauperizing its people that a few
become multi-million
men may - -
aires. Wherever high protection
has been worked out , the best that
could be said of it was that it bene-
fitted one out of ten.
Seeing that the very life of the
republic is endangered by the con-
ditions which have followed pro-
tection , Dolliver is courageous
enough to say : "I am through
with it. " That is why his speech
will live : in history , because he
said : "I am through with it. "
The philosophy of the Iowan , in
itself , was not new , any more than
'were his statements that Congress ,
in passing the Payne-Aldrich bill ,
was dominated by the tariff trusts.
Democrats have told the same
story time and again. Dolliver
merely indorsed the democratic
viewpoint , which is that excessive
protection robs the many for the
few. "

speech as the most impressive ora ,
tory the Senate has listened to in I J
many years. It will take rank
among the ' foremost examples of
American eloquence.
Dolliver Admits Error
.
When Senator Dolliver ] ) was at
tacking the Payne-Aldrich bill in
the Senate last ] spring , Senator
I
Depew of New York chided the
i Iowan with the statement that he
( Dolliver ) had traveled all over the _
country in the campaign of 1896
making speeches in which he '
charged the Wilson bill with re
sponsibility for the panic of 1893.
"Would you now pass a blue pen-
cil through those speeches ? " asked
Depew.
" ] f I were called upon now , ' "
said Dolliver , "to repeat what I
_ . . . , ; -
said as an enthusiastic , youth in the
house of representatives many
years ago , I would blue pencil a
good many of the explanations I
gave there for industrial condi-
tions which surrounded our indus-
tries in that far-off period. .
Just Listen To This ! . *
The once much-boasted Taft eco
nomy is no longer mentioned ,
either in "r asbin ton or by the
republican newspapers. For ex
cellent reason , too. Indications are
that the last Congress spent at
least 20,000,000 more than the
previous session , which created a
new high water mark in republi-
can extravagance. Here are a few
of the increases over last year's
appropriations , in bills enacted :

An Enemy of LaFollette
'
President Taft is leading a move- .
ment-though from behind the .
.
scenes-to feat Senator Robert M. '

LaFollette of Wisconsin. LaFol-
lette having been the original jn- ; '
surgent , and having given open
battle to Senator " Aldrich and the ;
other friends of Taft who endeavor I
to legislate solely ] for the benefit of
the special interests , his political l
.
death bus been decreed.
