THE NORFOLK WEEKLY NEWS-JOURNAL. , , , , NOKFOMv NEHHASKA FRIDAY 8KPTKMHKK 'J'J IWOfi NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS NOMI NATE THEIR TICKET. POPULISTS INDORSE NOMINEES Llghtner and Cole Named for Regents. Stringent Anti-Pass Resolution l Adopted Bryan Addresses Demo cratic Convention. Lincoln , Sept. 21. Fusion between the Democrats and Populists of Ne braska was effected by the nomination by both state conventions of an Iden tical ticket , as follows : Justice of the Supreme Court Will iam G. Hastings of Wllber. Regents ot the University I ) . C. Cole of Osceola , Louis Llghtner of Coliiinliu-- . Theie was no foimal declaiatlou for fusion by either convention , but an understanding existed among the lead ers in both. Of the numinous , Messrs. Hastings and Llghtncr are Democrats and Mr. Cole a Populist. The feature of the Democratic gath ering was the speech of William J. Bryan , In which ho bade his party as sociates In the state farewell for n year at least on the ve of his departure parturo for an extended tour of the old world. Mr. Bryan spoke In an optimistic way on the chances of Dem ocratic success. He said he looked forward to the next presidential cam paign with moro hope of Democratic victory than he had ever before enter tained. Mr. Bryan commended Presi dent Roosevelt for what he declared to be his advanced stand on the prin ciples long advocated by the Demo crats. A resolution which caused a stir In the convention and which was prompt ly adopted , denounced the Rockefeller gift to the University of Nebraska ; criticised the regents for accepting it and demanding the return of the gift to the donor. The platform is largely devoted testate state Issues , defining the position of the party , especially on regulation of railroads. It expiesses gratification at the conclusion of peace in the far east ; declares for the election of United States senators by direct vote ; favors strict enforcement of the crim inal clause of the Sherman anti-trust law , and on the question of railroad regulation says : "We favor a law glvtng-to the Inter state commerce commission the power to.fix railroad rates. The light of ap peal should not , of course , he denied but when the commission has fixed the rate It should go Into force Immedl ately and remain in force until re jected by a court of competent Juris diction. " Anti-Pass Plank. The anti-pass plank Is as follows : "We demand that ev < ry executive and judicial officer and every member of the legislature Immediately surrender whatever corporation favors he may have accepted and adhere In the future to hlti sworn obligation. The people cannot expect just laws for the regu lation of corporations at the hands of a legislature whose members accept favors from corporations. They can not expect equitable taxation of cor porntlons from n board whose mem bcrs are under obligations to the pow ers seeking to avoid taxation. The rule now thoroughly established Ir our courts that a man Is disqualified from serving as a Juror If he has ac cepted a pass irom a corporation that Is a party to the case should bo aa strictly applied to the bench as It Is to the Jury box. We denounce the ac ceptance of these corporation favo by the judiciary as particularly offen sive , and we pledge to the people o Nebraska that the nominees of this convention will not accept favors In the form of free transportation o otherwise from any corporation. Wi demand the strict and prompt enforce ment of the law passed by the Nebras ka legislature of 1897 , providing a fin of $1,000 for any corporation which In the language of the law , 'contrlb utea money , property , transportation help or assistance In any manner o form to anx political party or to any candidate for any civil ofllce , or to any political organization , or commit tee , or to any individual to bo usec or expended for political purposes. ' The Populist platform declares fo the enactment of the initiative referendum and the national owner ship and operation of railroads , calls for the enactment of a maximum freight rate law and the total abe lltlon of railroad passes , making th violation of such a law a crlmo , pua Ishablo by fine and Imprisonment.
