The weak sldo of a losing campaign
In shown liy silly speeches anil docu
ments In greater degree than inoHt
people Imagine and tlio nioru desper
ate the situation becomes tlio inoro
Insistent and desperately do cam
paign managers piny with absolutely
established facts anil souk to mislead
voters whom tlioy mtmt Imagine to
lie weak of Intellect If ( hey think that
tliolr arguments and assertions are
being hooded. A remarkable ovldonco
of this imitcltv "f fact anil weakness
f argument Is shown In the demo
cratic management of the campaign
In the Third concessional ( lintriot ,
and If Mr. McKlllip expects to have
any votes at all ho should promptly
and effectively set about to overcome
the Influences that his "fool friends"
have Injected Into the light. They
have a manner peculiarly their own
of getting at the voters , but the mat
ter that they are bringing to their at
tention is laughable In the sight of
intelligent men.
One of their stock documents Is an
nppcal for the voles of rural carriers.
This inusl be credited with one
shrewd point. It Is assumed that the
carriers will bo for President Roosevelt
velt because they are republicans , but
the document smoothly tries to show
that while Roosevelt Is all right n re
publican congress is all wrong and In
every dlslrlct the carriers are urged
to support Iho democratic nominee.
It alleges that the republican congress
has not fairly trealed Iho rural car
riers , but the foolish part of the prop
osition Is that they should be asked
to expect justice at the hands of a
democratic house nnd a republican
senate and president , when common
eense teaches them that nothing can
be done In Iho way of now leglslallon
where different parlies conlrol differ-
enl branches of Iho government. It
is urged that the republicans have
done nothing for Iho rural carriers ,
dlsregardful of the fact that the rural
delivery system was established by
the republicans and that the wages
have once been raised by the repub
licans since the law was passed.
While il is Iruo that the rural carriers
are not paid a sufficiently largo sal
ary for their work , it Is n most silly
argument to assume that their wages
will be raised by a democratic con
gress when it is proposed by the dem
ocrats to cut off the revenues by re
ducing the tariff and reduce the ex
penses of the government all along
the line. The republicans have been
charged with extravagance , and if
there is an Increased expenditure
over previous administrations thai In
crease comes In the money thai Is be
ing paid Iho rural carriers , In Iho in
creased pension money paid Iho vel-
erans of the war of Iho rebellion , in
the money thai has been sol aside for
the irrigation of the arid lands of the
vest , in the appropriations for the
construction of a Panama canal , in
the building of the now navy nnd the
construction of coast defenses. The
democrats are to go In for economy.
Can the rural carriers imagine for n
moment that they will draw Increased
pay when there are reductions all
along the line ? .

carriers have.beejijncreas.ed. from forte -

result on. Patrick ! : . McKlllip has
nlnooU you on IIH ! stall' of district lead
ers niul ho hopes that yon will accept
the position of political advisor to
him. " This Is followed by explicit In-
tsnictloiiH regaidlng the modus op-
oraudl of the scheme. It Hayw , "Mr.
Mo.KlllIp wants you to glvo UH the

many of them yon think that you can

publicans ( hey may want to vote for
Iholr own candidate for prosldout , hut
got thorn for McKlllip If possible. "
The most brilliantly conceived portion
tion of the document Is In the "llnal
thought" In which the prospective
young worker Is warned "that the host
and shrewdest politicians of tire coun
try are those who keep their own
council and do their work quietly.
Say nothing about this loiter to those
who are likely to oppose mid spoil
your plans ; simply say to your friends
that you want thorn to vote for McKll-
lip as a special favor to you , that It
will help you , etc. "
It was no part of this scheme that

republican papers , but because It has
It Is plain to bo soon that every young
man In every school district who has
developed unusual zeal In the support
of McKllllp's candidacy Is the one
who has swallowed this tempting bait
to his self esteem , hook , bobber and
sinker , and they will bo more ridicu
lous in the estimation of their friends
than the committee desperate enough
to Issue so silly an appeal for workers
and votes.
Through the negligence or misun
derstanding of some one the name of
the socialist candidate for congress
does not appear on the tickets in a
number of the counties of t < - . - Third
district. Such n candidate was placed
in nomination In the person of iDr. Do-
Voro and the men of his party who de
sire to vote for their candidate should
see that his name Is written In on the
ballot. Ills nomination was certified
to the various county clerks of the
district Instead of to the secretary of
state at Lincoln , and this Is the rea
son for the omission. There is a
blank line , however , for the placing of
Dr. DoVore's name on the ballet and
It Is fair to the socialists of the dis
trict that they should be given an In
timation of how they may support
their candidate.
The paramount Issue of the fusionists -
ists In Nebraska the revenue law
has collapsed before the time when
It could have been of use In determin
ing the outcome. It is possible that
with their assertions and allegations
in regard to this law unexploded they
might 1mvo elected their ticket a week
or two ago , but with the assaults of
facts and figures that the republicans
have since directed against their ar
guments It is safe to bcllovo that the
election will result In an overwhelming -
ing rebuke to the parties that would
have misled the people. They might
dig up another "paramount Issue" be
tween now and election , but If they
do it will bo looked upon with sus
picion by the voters who will not con
sent to Imvo tholr attention thus at
tracted twice in one campaign.
Minnesota took a game from the
Nebraska university team of football
athletes , but they didn't get it In n
walk and the score was so close as
to leave a very slight margin for the
northerners. If the Cornhuskers had
possessed n little more weight , the
Gophers wojiild certainly have met an
other defeat , such ns Nebraska has
given to them a couple of times since
It sprung up into prominence in the
CONGRESSMAN J. J. McCARTHY.
Hon. .1. ,1. McCarthy , the republican
nominee for congressman from tlu >
Third district of Nebraska , Is essen
tially a man of the people. His suc
cess as a farmer , attorney and legislator
later has been attained only by uiitlr
Ing energy In overcoming obstacles
Ho Is a natlvo of Wisconsin , where
he obtained bis education In the com
mon schools and Albion academy , lie
was for some time a teacher In the
public schools of that state. Ho came
to Nebraska in 1S7SI and for some tlmo
followed the profession of teaching.
Ho Improved his spare tlmo In the
study of law and was admitted to the
bar In 1SS1. Ho came to Dlxon coun
ty in 1SS2 , in wlUch county ho has
slnco resided. Ho served the people
of lllxon county for three terms as
western football world. The defeat Is
not so overwhelming as to bo discour
aging , and it may bo expected that
the Nebraskans will brace up for the
next contest and sweep the field clean
of honors.
.Tack Koenlgsteln's friends may ns
svell begin now to congratulate him
upon his election to the office of coun
ty attorney In Madison county , be
cause be Is Just as good as elected
right now. He has no opposition , the
democratic nominee having with
drawn from the ticket.
If there were many elections with
ballots as long as those of this year ,
the average voter could soon supply
himself with enough to paper the
house by saving one each year.
TALKS STATE ISSUES.
Candidate McKlllip Is assiduously
talking state issues in his campaign
for election to congress. With the
possible exception of his time-tried
and well-worn story of the bull calf
whose tongue he would silt , as Illus
trative of his method of handling the
trust question , and his potato story ,
by which ho has demonstrated that the
robber tariff raises the price of po
tatoes and other farm products , it
seems his only talk in trade is n play
upon the prejudices of the vote" ? who
may have found nn increase in their
local taxes. On this plea he expects
they will send him to congress.
Mr. McKlllip Is reported ns having
made lite statement at Emerson , Ne-
ligh , Hartlngton and elsewhere , that
tlio railroads have had their laves in
creased In the state but 5 per cent ,
while the fanners have bad an in
crease of10 per cent , whereas the
lailroads of the state have been In
creased CO per cent , while all other
forms of property , includliiK 'arms ,
have boon increased 54 per cent. Evi
dently these reports nre in error , for
It can scarcely bo believed that Mr.
McKlllip would bo guilty of deliberate
falsification , and be well knows that
the statements quoted are not Irue.
nut assuming that the "iniquitous revenue -
enuo law" was as bad as painted ,
would this have any bearing on the
congressional situation ?
Mr. McCarthy has esrved one term
county nttorne\ and two terms as
nember ot the legislature. Ho was
lected to the 3Sth congress in l)0l ! ) > ,
mil w.is unanimously renomlnated for
viiresentative of the srent Third d.1--
trlct at Columbus , May 17 , of the pros-
nt year. His olllclal work was of
inch n character as shou'd commend
(
him to the favorable consideration of' '
'he people. Ills service on the 1m- '
poitant committees on which lw was
placed \\as clmiactorixed bv ability of :
i high order. Ills efforts In original-1
ing and forwarding measures before
the committee on public lands has
been widely praised. During his term
the number of rural free delivery
routes In this district has through his
efforts been increased from -10 to 1(15. (
Ho has been very successful In obtain-
In congress and It Is everywhere ad
mitted that this district never had a
more loyal representative. He has
worked untiringly for the Interests of
his constituents. No man doubts his
ability an > mote than his rugged hon
esty.

llp Is Irying to obtain votes under

Former Chairman .loncs of the dem
ocratic national committee is now
haidly missed. Jones started in ear-
lies and stayed by It longer , but Secre
tary \Voodson has shown that ho has
an ability in no way second to Jones
when he is compelled to cheer up
democratic hearts by making claims
of Parker's success , in fact he jjoes
the limit by claiming every state that
has been at all doubtful and placing
in the doubtful column such stales as
Ohio and Illinois. It Is astonishing
that he overlooked Iowa , Maine and
Nebraska and failed to declare them
solidly for Parker , of at least in the
realm of doubt. There are democrats ,
too , who will believe In the estimate
and loose good money and good hats
on the result. Then perhaps there are
some republicans who will believe It
and 11 Is hoped that they may , for they
will get out and work to beat the band
for Iloosovelt and republicanism , that
\Voodson declares to be emphatically
down and out.
There are some people who are hit
ralher harder than usual by the taxes
this year , and may be assessed rather
higher than their neighbors , but it Is
because they have heretofore not been
paying tholr just proportion of the ex
penses of the county and state. Even
these , however , need not look to the
success of the fuslonlsts for relief.
The republican opponents will not
dare to make tt law to reduce the ta : -
os of those who are Just now paying
tholr fair share and pile It onto those
who have always paid more than their
shnro of the expenses. After being
once fairly equalized the party will bo
cutting its throat that will attempt to
make taxes unequal once more.
Farmois of Nebraska have every
reason to anticipate another year of

duties fearlessly meeting every issue

i ailments for his constituents has

niitteis of great Importance to his
dlbtrlct. Aa in the past he has stood
for the policies of Theodore Reese

the measures of a great president to

the voters of the great Third district ,
trusting that it will be vindicated by
a triumphant re-election.
to disturb the business lnt"r .sls of
Iho country such as the election of
Parker and a democratic congress. It
Is not feared that this will happen , but
there is nothing absolutely certain
about II until every vote has been
counted. Those who want to make n
certainty of prosperity will Insist on
the re-election of President Koosevell
and republican congressmen.
The revenue law Issue Is going Ihe
way of all other paramount Issues that
have been raised by the fuslonlsts and
before election it will be dead and the
candidates of that party will be the
losers. The charge of extravagance
has already been laid away in the
tomb beside the McClcery bill , free
silver , imperialism nnd other argu
ments that do not count.
Congressman McCarthy Is accom
plishing splendid results in his can
vass _ for re-election , while his oppo
nent is helping his cause by making
statemenls and asserllons that have
been dlsproven regarding the "Iniquit
ous" revenue law. What difference it
will make to the revenue law whether
he is elected or not , Is not explained ,
but he is very evidently lacking a paramount -
amount issue to discuss.
The balance of this week should be
n busy one for the party workers and
voters who are Interested In the suc
cess of the republican ticket. The
only chance the republicans have of
losing Is to feel so certain of the re
sult being right that they will not get
out to vote or work for their party
ticket.
Those who look for the names of
Iloosovelt or Parker on the ballots
will bo disappointed. To vote for
those gentlemen it Is necessary to
vote for _ the electors who represent
them In this state , and they are shown
only bv the names of the party by
which they wore placed in nomination.
Free trade is bettor for England
