Moses Warner is editor of the
Lyons Mirror in Burt county.
"Mosey , " as his wife calls him ,
and as he is known around home ,
aims to be right and gets very en
thusiastic at times for democracy ,
but just now is hollering' his head
off for Wilson and Bryan's mule.
We wonder how he'll take defeat
and hope to let him down easy by
suggesting that he make a para
chute leap before the Bryan bal
loon gets into the brush.
"Mosey" ' Warner in the corner
Of this big old stale ,
Thinks he's willin1 for the klllln'
"With the Bryan slato.
Mos > c is purely democratic
From the cellar to the nttlc ,
But his leader is erratic ,
And he's leading "Mosey" ' wrong.
\Ve have fought straight from the shoulder ,
Long with "Mosey" "till we're older.
For the great opinion moulder ,
And to him we did belong.
"When the leader of this nation ,
In his brilliant conversation
Hpoke aloud to all creation ,
Haying , "Let the people rule. "
Millions vied with one another ;
Crowded round almost to smother.
And they loved his younger brother ,
And his democratic mule.
"We had need of Mr. Brynn ,
And for years we'd nil been tryin , '
Did our best for him to pry in ;
Tried three times to make him land ;
"Wanted him for other places-
Governor and senate races
"Wouldn't take "em , no ! by grn'clous !
But for president he'd stand.
Makes me sad to note the ailing
Of ench candidate availing ,
As denounced by Bryan's railing ,
Cull attention if you will
Not to slander , nor denote him ,
Greater honors we would vote him
But we now would like to quote iiini
" "Words from Edward Rowland Sill :
Now , let other standard bearers
Tnke the lead , and , we as swearers
Of the faith , thnt title wearers
Faithful unto little things ,
final ! be chosen to inspire us ,
And we don't like Bryan's virus
Judson Ilnrmon doesn't tire us
He shall stand before the kings.
* OPPOKTUXITY.
This I beheld or dreamed It in a clrenm :
There spread si cloud of dust along the plain ,
And underneath the cloud , or in it raged
A furious battle , and men yelled , and swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince's
banner
"Wavered , then staggered backward ,
hemmed by foes.
A craven hung along the battle's edge ,
And thought , "Had I sword of keener steel
That blue blade that the king's son bears
- but this
Blunt thing ! * ' lie snapped and flung it from
his hand ,
And lowering crept nway and left the field.
Then came the king's son wounded , sore
bestead
And weaponless and saw the broken
Mvonl ,
Hilt buried in the dry and trodden sand ,
And ran : ind snatched it , and with battle
shout
Lifted afresh , he hewed the enemy down ,
And saved a great cause that heroic day.

One week from tomorrow will
be primary election day in Ne
braska. When you vote your
choice , considering the availability
of the man to make a good race in
your party , you will have acted
wisely. Ex-Governor Shallen-
berger will make a strong race
and will be a good man in the sen
ate. Judson Harmon or Champ
Clark should be your preference
for candidate for president on the
democratic ticket , or La Follette
an the republican ticket if you are
a progressive. We suggest this
to you for earnest consideration.
For governor , John H. Morehead
is a strong candidate and wilj make
a good governor we can believe
because of the faithfulness of his
work in previous positions , and
his having lived the life that near
ly all of us have experienced and
wasn't born wiih a silver spoon
in his mouth. It is everybody's in
terest to sec that he is not defeat
ed. Wm. Hartmn , for represen
tative of this district , will insure
our interests protected as far as he
is concerned. Ben A. Brewster ,
for state senator , will represent us
orrectly and we will have a live
wire in him We might name a
few others , but for fear of being
considered a dictator , we announce
the foregoing as only a euggostion
to those who will appreciate our

The Gordon Journal came out
last week with a new heading.
Governor Judson Harmon of
Ohio will speak in Omaha Friday
night. We would like to go
and hear him.
Senator La Follette made a tour
of Nebraska this week , making
speeches to thousands of people ,
and was well received.
James A. Donohoe of O'Neill is
the democratic candidate for con
gress of the Sixth congressional
district subject to the primaries.
He will make a strong race and
your vote for him will need no
apology.
Is it not time for the people to
rule and cut out these arrogant
bosses who have tried to dictate
and rule or ruin ? It's up to the
voters to dpcide this. After the
primary comes the convention at
Baltimore. We will all then fall
in line for the demo
cratic nominees , whether they be
our choice , your choice , or their
choice. But let us act wisely in
this selectien to nominate men who
stand some show to win in the
election.
The people who call themselves
the democratic progressive league
are trying to have the Wilson dele
gates elected to the Baltimore con
vention and Mr. Bryan as one of
those delegates announces that he
will not support Governor Judson
Harmon if the people of the state
should vote their preference for
him. The delegates who will sup
port Governor Harmon or Champ
Clark or any candidate we as voters
ers should give the preference are
G. M. Hitchcock , Tom Smith ,
Fred Volpp and Geo. L. Loomis.
H. H , Belwood of Alliance , as our
district delegate , will also be faith
ful to the ppople.
Will Maupin's Weekly came to
our desk this week chock full of
his writings which proclaim him
to be a versatile man of Nebraska ,
where he has lived a quarter of a
century. Mr. Maupin prints his
picture , surrounded by his wife
and six children , whicn be gives
as seven of the many reasons why
he wants to be elected state rail
way commissioner. He is a pleas
ant man to meet and his wide
ra'nge of experience qualifies him
for most any position requiring
ability. Frank and honest , and
an untiring worker , with a large
family , a cheery disposition to do
whatsoever his hand findeth to do ,
will make him a hard man to beat.
The Valentine Democrat hopes
to offend no one whn has a favor
ite candidate for any office. We ,
in expressing a favorable opinion
of Governor Judson Harmon of
Ohio , believe he is a strong can-
date and at the time we did so it
was rot certain that Champ Clark
would be a candidate. However ,
of late , since he got into the race ,
be seems to be running a close
second to Mr. Harmon and may
lead. That remains to be seen
and we want to say that he will
suit us as a candidate and we can
endorse him as heartily as Gov.
Harmon. Both have made good
and they are great men. One for
presid ent and the other for vice-
president would make just the
team to suit us and they can win.
Mr. Bryan accused Parker of
being Wall street's candidate in
1901 , but the campaign of the year
showed that he was wrong and
that Mr. Parker was shamefully
abused for no purpose but to
gratify Bryan and give him the
next nomination , only again to go
down to defeat. If Mr. Bryan
was as loyal to democracy as G.
M. Hitchcock or Judson Harmon ,
we wouldn't have all this hullabaloo
within our party at a time when
victory is in sight. Now , candid
ly , shouldn't Mr. Bryan ease up a
little and Jet the people rule ? In
stead of bracing hina up in his die- .
f should we notturn on & -

little cold air ? If Mr. Bryan was
righ't , would he make our chances
stronger for winning out in such
methods of denouncing Governor
Harmon who gave Bryan loyal
support in 1908 during his cam
paign for governor of Ohio in
which he was elected by 19,000
and two years later by over
100,000. He represents a big
following in the eastern states that
will not take kindly to Mr. Bry.
an's onslaught and will defeat the
party if Mr. Bryan is made the
dictator. Much as we have loved
M r. Bryan , it is now necessary to
discredit his action and set him
straight. We can never win if he
is permitted to rule and ruin , until
he is silenced. He wouldnt run
for U. S. senator two years ago.
He wouldn't accept the nomi
nation for governor of the state
when it was offered him at Grand
Island in 1902. Just now he is
making speeches in Ohio against
Harmon , saying he ( Bryan ) is an
"elder in the Presbyterian church ,
and a high priest in the democrat
ic party , " and that he doesn't in
tend to retire. At the solicitation
of his friends , Governor Judson
Harmon will come to Omaha Fri
day of this week and will address
the people , answering the criti
cisms of Bryan and Mike Harring
ton.
President Taft is strong in New
York and Illinois. With a good
candidate we stand a show to carry
New York. Who can do it ? Wil
son is not strong in either state ,
nor in Ohio. Where then can he
get votes sufficient to be elected ?
If he can't carry New York , Illi
nois nor Ohio , then it is most like
ly that he cannot carry any but
the solid south : He couldn't carry
Nebraska , nor Kansas , nor Iowa ,
nor Missouri. What's the use of
going into the fight with a losing
race ? That's why we are not for
Wilson and further we don't be
lieve he stands any show of being
nominated. Champ Clark can car
ry Nebraska and so can Gov.
Harmon if Bryan will keep fight
ing him on the same grounds be
has started. We believe Gov.
Harmon is the strongest and most
available candidate to carry the
pivotal states that go to make a
majority. Any of the candidates
can carry the solid south but that
won't be enough.
The Woodrow Wilson League
of Nebraska and the Progressive
Democratic League of Nebraska
have endorsed the following four
men as delegates to the democratic
national convention at Baltimore :
William J. Bryan , William H.
Westover , George L Loomis and
I. J. Dunn. These delegates are
all for Woodrow Wilson for presi
dent , and if he can not be nomi
nated they favor Champ Qlark as
their second choice. The Woodrow -
row Wilson candidates for dele
gates in this Sixth Congressional
district are James W. Finnegan
and Frank J. Taylor. Cut this
out and take it to the polls .with
you on primary election day ,
