We saw Clarence E. Harmon ,
candidate for railway commission
er , at Hastings , and he appears all
right. He would not declare for
Gev. Haimon before the primary
but was for Harmon for commis
sioner.
At Lincoln we met John H.
Morehead of Falls City , candidate
for governor. He is a man of the
people and will carry a big vote
throughout the slate as a liberal
minded man of business and
ability.
"Will M. Maupin handed us his
card at the Lincoln last Thursday ,
which reads "Nobody asked me to
run , " He's out for railway com
missioner. Maupin has lots of
friends who won't forget him on
primary day.
Bro. Bixby thinks the demo
cratic party stands more in need
of Metcalfe's leadership than he
does of any office within the gift
of the people. Xever mind , Bix ,
he won't be troubled with turning
anything down-until its handed to
him , and the party isn't taking
tips right now from its traitorous
friends.
W. J. Bryan has announced that
he will not support Gov. Harmon
for the nomination , even though
the people should instruct for him
at the primary , but would resign
and go into the convention to fight
him. In that case we had better
look back to the slogan "shall the
people rule ? " and vote for one
who- will agree to carry oufc our
*
wishes as we instruct. How f&v
should we follow Br. > an ? Should
' we permit him to be a dictator ?
No matter if he is the biggest man
sa Nebraska , what has he done
that we must submit LG his dicta
tion. Tin- " * , - tun - < < f u.svho

A Crippled Mind.
Many strong minds , giant intel
lects , are held down and starved
out by crippled digestive power ,
dyspepsia and the poison absorbed
as a result of chronic constipation.
If your stomach lacks digestive
power the natural and simplest
thing to do is to put into it the
agent it lacks. Above all things
avoid strong drugs that paralize
and irritate the stomach and bow
els. A sound , healthy stomach
contains the same digestive agents
Spruce Pepsin tablets contain.
Spruce Pepsin tablets will di
gest fermenting , decaying food
that lays like a lump in your
stomach. AVe have proved this
thousands of times or we would
not dare spend thousands of dollars
lars to prove it to every sufferer
from stomach trouble. We will
send you a trial box FREE.
