U. - To the w Editor of the World-Herald : It 6 ! i i ' . . is admitted that the ' cry of the * * 'American : republic today is " Gad. ' 1 give us men. " It is admitted that the cry of Nebraska during the , pesent campaign is "God give us I I men ! " strong men , men who live I in the open , men who stand for I the ideals of the common wealth , : men who stand for the principles and rights dear to a liberty-loving . . . people. Men ] are wanted. No I sanctimonious censor of morals , , no self-canonized , saint , no winged - celestial . , no harpist from the ' f. 'a. r't ' c , apply. Ne . braska ( on November 8 , expects to I . ' elect a governor , not the head of r. a state religion , it expects to elect . an administrator , not the su per- intendent ; an exceedingly large : Sunday school ; , it expects to elect - a conserver of the liberties of the " ! " individual not . a ; doctor of divinity j . to prescribe the morals of the com ; monwealth. Because the demo- cratic party believes that Nebraska - wishes for governor neither a tin god nor a member of the angelic hosts , but a man , it has placed in nomination James C. Dahlman , I m.ayor in Nebraska's metropolis , : the city of Omaha. , ' The standards of Nebraska de- " : mancl . , . that any man who occupies . the gubernatorial chair be a man of. . .administrative ability , a man devoted , to the interests of the individual < ' citizen , conversely , a man . free . from " boss " domination , ' a man acquainted with the needs I and . . . " spirit . of all sections of the state . , . finally f ; ; , a man who has J ' notjbing , to conceal , whose past life ' ; d is an open book. ' I p : ] Vfr. : D hlman completely fulfills tliejfpregfiiinff : s requirements. His executive-ability : is unquestioned. His wonderful success in admin- isjeringj.he ; complex mechanism ' . i . . . . of metropolitan city government , # L - . resulting in a triumphant re-elec- S * ' . * . ' tion , is proof positive of this. If ' " % \ , , ' , further demonstration of ability \x ' \ \ - - . , -were . required , one could find it in , , _ x. , . . , the . life of .this man who has risen . ; < - * from the position of an , humble . * ' * ' " " ' " cocv - un her" to the most influ- " . : 5 , . ' . : \ ' en / tial I position . in the most impor- J-t tant city of Nebraska. In common . I . " ' . * . -with . . the . rest of . mankind ' Mr. : , . Dahlman has doubtless made some I - ' - mistakes. His bitterest critics , . . ' " however , will hardly deny him < , , credit _ for successfully initiating \ I * . ' . and maintaining ! a mayorality I , . " . policy . . . , broad-minded , sensible , l i progressive in accordance with the lI I . _ public sentiment ; of his constitu- i i : , ; ents , . a pQIicy.making for law-abid- I ' , ' . and citizens - ing liberty-loving , I Mr. Dahlman's devotion to the " : , . interests of the individual is made t ' apparent when one considers his I I ' fundamental promise that no per- ' . - son has , the . right to dictate con- . - - ' cernin what his neighbor shall ' eat or drink. Abraham Lincoln's famous declaration that LO man is . . ' " - ; -good enough to govern another without that other's consent is but . a larger ] way of stating Mr. Dahl- man's opposition to sumptuary - , and dictatory legislation infring- ing upon the personal rights of ' the individual. i . It is axiomatic to : ' : state . that there are limits to gov- , ernmental . control over the customs 1 . ' ' ; " . and , practices of a majority of I " . minority. In defining the limits 1 . of governmental authority , Mr V . . . Dahlman has had the courage to . bid farewell to his lifelong friends ' " he has hurled defiance in the face j _ ' . : ; . ; , of the most powerful democrat in f the United States , he has remained . : ' " . ' unmoved in spite of the attacks of \ ' . ' - - . .R the most powerful political ma- I . - . - chine in the entire country , the . . : . . - Anti-Saloon league. , , ' . . Mr. Pahlman is unique among I . , ' ( : : . - gubernatoral ! candidates . recent I , ; " .

' . . - lence ' as secretary of the transpor -i tation commission , his career as m'ayor of a metropolis , make him I peculiarly a representative Ne- . ! braskan. With the untrammeled 4 vision and liberal spirit of the I western farmer and , ranchman , he has , combined _ the sympathy and understanding that comes from life ] in a great urban community. I The democratic party can point i with unusual pride to the fact that Mayor Dahlman represents no one city or community , but all sections of our splendid commonwealth. . It has become the practice of certain newspapers and speakers , ignoring Mr. Dahlm n's splendid qualities and abilities , and to heap I upon him the vilest and' } most un reasonable exerations. As was to be expected , his attitude in the face of this storm of abuse' has been an attitude of good-natured equanimity. During a period I I when it was expected that sheriff would obtain a considerable part of his remuneration from-the fees of his office , it is charged that Mr. Dablman , in common with other sheriffs , received part , of . his com- pensation in'the form of duplicate vouchers , honored by the state. i ! Such petty insinuations are too trivial to be considered seriously. Scarcely more pertinent is the as- sertion that in a wild , lawless country wheref Mr : , Dahlman un fortunately and blamelessly found himself during his youth , he was compelled to invoke the law of might and the force of righteous indignation to punish a worthless brother-in-law vho had deserted a defenseless sister , It is claimed that Mr. Dahlman is a member of no orthodox church. Like Abra- ham Lincoln , it is true Mayor Dahlman : affiliates with no religi- ous sect. Like Mr. Lincoln , how- , ever , Mr. Dahlman is a friend of all worthy religious , philanthropic and charitable bodies. i -Ir. - Dahl- man's past life is an open book. He has made it so of his own free will. His policies , personal , , . , . liber- . . ty , local self-government and law enforcement are written . in the hearts of the people. Hy ouJ\now : I where he stands. " I I am , a lifelong republican. W. C. FELDMAN. From the World-Herald. The Traffic Commission Joke. ( Chicago Journal. ) Old line republicans make a great to-do about the wonderful tariff commission scheme and the plan for revision of the tariff schedule by schedule. They would have us believe that these two propositions mean hon- est and immediate tariff revision , whereas they are simply an artful dodge to secure indefinite delay and delude the public into patient waiting. The plan for securing revision of one schedule at a time will be blocked by all possible devices in congress. The tariff commission , we are already informed , cannot obtain information abroad without retaining an army of experts for a long period of time , at heavy out- lay. lay.The The American taxpayor is al- ready supporting forty-four em- bassies and legations at great ex- pense , and something like 960 consular officials , whose salaries and expenses run into millions of dollars annually. Our diplomats are mostly occu- pied in social affairs. Our consuls devote their time largely l ] to col lecting reams of reports on the possible market for cotton in China , the numbe'r of American machine-tools in Russian shops , the coal mines of Scotland , mostly the sort of trade stuff , that a good exchange editor could clip out of foreign newspapers by the mile. At least two-thirds of their in- formation is worthless. The other third is valuable solely to the har- vester trust , the steel trust , the leather trust , the watch trust and other American monopolies who are thereby enabled to find new markets thousapds of miles away in which to sell .their products at prices 30 and 40 per cent lower than they charge . American con ' . - , sumers. ' . - If weneed . ' we- any. tariff inforraar , ' . , . ' . , , . . , . . - - . . . - - - , - tion , which we do not , why not let our diplomats forsake swallowtails and pumps for a bit , forego "the society of dukes and dulchesses and get acquainted with the com- mon folk of the countries in which they represent us ? Why not per- mit our consular service , which I his labored long and faithfully for I the tariff barons of America , to put in a few months in behalf of American consumers who pay their fat salaries . and who demand tariff reduction as ' a limited meas- sure of defense against the trusts ? - Prohibition Fifty years Ago. \V hen Massachusetts had a pro- hibition law the moral consequences were so deplorable that the best people of the state entered into con- flict with the worst in the effort to get rid of the obnoxious statute. : I . Among the leaders for decency was John A. Andrew , Massachusetts' famous war governor , who wrote the following : I aver that a statute of prohibi- tion aiming to banish from the table of an American citizen by pains and penalties an article of diet which a large body of the people believe to be legitimate , which the law does not even pretend to exclude from the category of commercial articles , 'which in nation and in every , some form in all history , has held its place among the necessities or the luxuries of society , is absurdly weak , or else it is false to any liber- ty. Whenever it will cease to be absurdly weak , society , by the oper- ation of moral causes , will have reached a point where it will have become useless ; or eke it will be fatal to any liberty , since , if not useless , but operated and fulfilled by legal force , its execution will be perpetrated upon a body of subjects in whose abject characters there will be combined the essential qualities which are needful to cowardice and servility. Do you tell me that no beverage mtp which alcohol enters , used in cooking , or placed upon the table , , fitly belongs to < the catalogue of foods ? . I . I . answer : That is a question of science , which neither governor nor legislature has any lawful cap acity to solve for the people. . Do you tell me , then , that wheth- er the catalogue is expurgated or not , all such food is unwholesome and unfit to be safely taken ? I nnswer : That is a question of dietetics. And it is for the pro fession of medicine. There is , in principle , no odds between proscrib ing an article of diet and prescrib- ing a dose of physic , by authority of law. The next step will be to provide for the taking of calomel , antimony and Epson salts by acts of the general court. Do you tell me , however , that all such beverages , in their most in- nocent use , involve a certain dan- ger ; that possibly any one may , probably many , and certainly some will , abuse it , and thus abuse them- selves , and by consequence that all , men , as matter of prudence , and therefore of duty , ought to abstain from and reject it ? I answer : That is a question of morals , for the answer to which we must resort to the Bible , or to the church , or to the teachings of moral philosophy. The right to answer it at all , or to pretend to any opin- ion upon it , binding the citizen , has never been committed by the people In any free government on earth , to the decision of the secular power. If the state can pass between the citizen and his church , his Bible , his conscience and God , upon questions of his own personal habits , and ' de - cide what he shall do , on merely moral grounds , then it has author- ity to invade the domain of thought , as well as of private life , and pre- scribe bounds of freedom of con- science. There is no barrierin prin ciple , where the government must : stop , short of the establishment t of a state church , prescribed by law , : and maintained by persecutIOn. ! Do you tell me that the using of wine or beer as a beverage , however temperately , is of dangerous ten- I dency , by reason of its example ? i Do you . insist that the temperate aise of it by one man may be pleaded by another as the p'cbUBion and If p - - . - . . P. . - - - - . - ' - , . - - - ' _ . . 4.- - " apology for its abuse ? ' r i I answer : That if the g-overn - ' ! ' 1 ment restrains the one man of his [ just rational liberty torregulate his ' I' private conduct and affairs in mat- ters innocent in themselves , wherein I he offends not against peace , public II decorum. good order , nor 'the , per sonal rights of any , then the gov ernment both usurps undelegated powers , and assumes to punish one man in advance for the . possible fault of another. The argument that , becaue one man may : ) offend , another must be restrained , is the lowest foundation of tyranny , the cornerstone of despotism. Liberty is'never denied to the people any- where on the ground that liberty is denied to be good or right , in itself. The universal pretext of every des . potism , is , that the people are uniU- - to enjoy it. Do you tell me that these argu- . ments have a tendency indiretly to encourage and defend useless and J harmful drinking , and that silence would have been better - for the sake of a great and holy cause ? I answer : That He who governs the universe and created the nature of man , who made freedom a ne cessity of his development and the capacity to choose between good and evil , knew better than to trust it to the expeditious of political society. The great and holy cause of emancipation from vice and moraL bondage , is moral , and not political. ! , JOHN A. ANDREW , War Governor of Massachusetts. World-Herald. . . . # - . ' . TO THE VOTERS OF THE 52ND , REPRESENTATIVE DISTiCT. . . . I had ths honor of repiesenting this , district : in ; the last , legislature , and am the democratic candidate i for ; the place again. . The district , : which comprises Cherry and Keya Paha counties , is too large to permit me to make ' a personal canvass and I therefore i ! . take . this method , reaching the . .i voters. As member , of the last i legislature , I voted' ' for the adoption I of what is called "The Oregon plan I for the election of United States ! senators , " and under this plan . every i . voter is allowed to express his choke for the senatorship. This vote is not , in law , binding ? on the members of the legislature , but , if I am elect- ed , I shall accept it as binding on i me , and - my vote will be cast for the ' man who has received the majority vote of the people of Nebraska. Personally I favor the election of Hon. Gilbert M. Hitchcock , because , as has been well said of him , "he is a splendid typo of public servant who deserves promotion to the high office to which he now aspires. " But . if a majority of the state of Ne- braska , express themselves , by their ballots , for his opponent , and I am elected to the legislature , my vote . . will be oast for the choice of the majority regardless of my personal choice , or party affiliation. I am the author of the bill which resulted in establishing the state . experimental. - station at Valentine : and I shall use my position . to ! further its interests , as well as to i ! further legislation looking to the I upbuilding of my district. I A legislator's vote for United States senator is the only question on wnich party , lines can properly be drawn , and , by the declaration I have herein made , that insue is . entirely eliminated , I make bold to ask that you take the trouble to look into the record I made in the last session and , if my work is satisfactory. I ask for your vote and influence. This is the day of independent voting , and this letter is addressed to demo- crats , republicans , prohibitionists , populists and independents , I care ot what your party designation may be , if you think I am worthy pf your vote I shall be pleased to receive it , and if elected , I shall try to make a record that will show me worthy of it.
