I hereby announce myself a candidate for the office of float representative, of the twenty-fifth representative district, subject to the approval of the republi can voters of Platte and Nance counties at the primaries, September 1, 1907. John Swanson. Primary election, Tuesday, Sept. 1. Which will it be: or Latta's Money? Howard's Brains The noisiest thing in Nebraska is a Bryan traveling man. The Democrat who cut down the Taft banner is still in hiding. Mr. Bryan delivered his sjieech of acceptance on the banks of Salt Creek. Anything suggestive in this? In that part of his speech of accept ance relating to campaign contribu tions, Mr. Bryan forgot to inform the public what became of that $15,000 donated by Ryan to Nebraska Demo crats in 1904. Three times has Mr. Bryan delivered an address accepting the nomination of his party for the Presidency, to be followed a few weeks later in two in stances by congratulating his compet itor in the race. His third dispatch congratulating a Republican candidate will be sent about November 4th. Mr. Bryan says the Republican party is responsible for all the abuses that now exist. If this is true, then the Republican party is also responsi ble for the prices of farm products, the price of real estate and the wages paid to American workmen. The trouble with Mr. Bryan is he always views things from a partisan point of view. In his mind Democracy can do no wrong. As President of the Commercial Club and a leading and progressive business man of Columbus and Platte county, M. D. Karr is entitled to the home support of his party associates at the primary election Sept. 1st. He is making a vigorous canvass for the nomination of State Railway Commis sioner on the Republican ticket, a position he is capable of filling with out prejudice to the interests of rail way company or shipper. George W. Berge has made no open statement on the local option question, but his rivals for the democratic gubernatorial nomination have placed him on the side of local option, and some of his opponents have called him a prohibitionist. When Mr. Berge finally makes a statement on this question it will not be surprising should he confirm in every particular these charges, and take a stand that may make his rivals regret that they ever smoked him out State Journal. According to the Osceola Record, . L. King of Polk county, is the only Republican in the Eighteenth Senato rial District who has the ability to represent the district in the State Sen ate. The Record, in support of its contention, published a list of bills in troduced by the senator from Polk at the last session of the legislature, and mentions several other measures which' he championed. The pass bill heads the list, but the Record neglected to state that the pass bill introduced by Senator King provided for granting passes to lawyers. King may be all that the Record claims, but there are many Republicans in Nance and Mer rick counties, and not a few in Polk county, who take little stock in King's pretentions as a political reformer. When the local option bill was before REVIVING THE A. P. A. Some of the more bigoted editors of the Democratic press have found a new issue which they imagine will advance the interests of Bryanism. They have discovered that Candidate Taft is a Unitarian, and strongly assert that Unitarianism is opposed to Christianity; that Unitarianism is worse than Mohammedanism. The Journal does not know whether Mr. Taft is a Unitarian or not It would be nothing to his discredit if he were. The simple fact that a candidate is a church member or a non-church mem ber should not be taken into consider ation by voters. Religion is not an issue in this campaign. Mr. Taft is an American citizen. His ancestors fought in the war for Independence which resulted in severing the ties that bound the colonies to the mother country, and made it possible for the adoption of a constitution which grant ed every man the right to worship according to the dictates of his own conscience. Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan and every man in America is enjoying that privilege today. It will be remembered that not many years ago an order known as the Amer ican Protective Association was organ ized for the purpose of discrediting the Catholic religion, but the sentiment against orders of this kind was so strong that it passed away after a brief existence. The attempt of Democratic politicians to galvanize into life the corpse of the American Protective Association for the purpose of advanc ing the political fortunes of Mr. Bryan by prejudicing voters against Mr. Taft on account of his alleged religious belief, is contrary to the principles for which our forefathers fought and upon which this government is founded. A HOME ENDORSEMENT. At a meeting of the Republican County Central Committee of Butler county held in David City, the follow ing resolution was unanimously adopted: Be it Resolved: By the Butler County Republican Central Committee, that we most heartily endorse the candidacy of Wm. Hnsenetter of Linwood for the office of Public Land Commissioner. In support of his candidacy we wish to mention some of the services he has rendered his party. He baa been pres ent at every county convention for thirty years. He has served the senatorial dis trict on the State Committee for ten terms. He has represented this county as a delegate in every state convention for 22 years. He has served three terms on the State Executive Committee. He has served two terms as chairman of our Republican County Central Committee, and is now serving the third time. He has never accepted a political office car rying a salary with it In these various capacities he has always stood courage ously for the best interests of the party. He has been thoroughly in sympathy with the recent policies of Roosevelt, and two years ago was a strong advocate for the election of Gov. Sheldon. Mr Husenetter has a common interest with the farmers and shippers of the state in the enactment of the Roosevelt policies, as he owns and operates a large ranch at Linwood and is a vigorous advocate of these interests. In this endorsement of Wm. Husen etter for Land Commissioner we wish to call the attentien of the voters of the state of Nebraska to the fact that Butler county, since its organization more than forty years ago, has never bad a state office nor a deputy. Mr. Husenetter has been a resident here for forty years and we do not hesi tate to present bis name, as we consider that it is only justice to his long service for the party. The friends of Mr. Husenetter in Platte and adjoining counties will be pleased to learn that his candidacy is meeting with favor throughout the state, aud every indication points to his receiving a heavy vote at the pri mary election the first of September. Candidate Howard has commenced the publication of the Fremont Fair play. The paper is devoted almost exclusively to Mr. Howard's candi dacy for congress in the fight he is making against Jim Latta for the primary nomination. Mr. Howard is a printer, owns a printing office and uses printer's ink and white paper. Aside from a personal canvass it is the only way Mr. Howard has to get in touch with the Democrats of the Third district. Jim Latta has another way. He is not a printer. He is a banker, and his money talks for him. Mr. Howard alleges that Mr. Latta is making a check book campaign; that Chairman Stephens has been hired by Latta to conduct his campaign, and that even the Fremont Tribune, a Republican paper and organ of the grain trust, has not been immune from the money in the vaults of the Teka mah man's bank. One thing certain, a good sized row is on among the Democrats of the Third Congressional district which is liable to sDlit the the senate Kincr made a loner sneech in favor of the measure, and a few days party and increase Judge Boyd's later "hedged" by introducing a bill majority in November. which provided that beer containing two per cent of alcohol should not be considered intoxicating. Did the Rec ord publish this bill in the list of Measures introduced by Senator King?- Possibly Attorney General Thomp son is waiting for encouragement from the progressive press before tackling the Lumber Trust BRYAN AND THE FARMER. Mr. Bryan's appeal to the farmers for money to run his campaign is based upon this singular proposition: The farmers are getting good prices for farm products and making good money under republican policies; therefore, they are requested to turn over to Mr. Bryan some of the good money they have made under a long republican period of prosperity in or der to bring about "a change!" v This strange proposition ruus so counter to the farmer's usual habit of thought that it is going to be difficult for Mr. Bryan to convince him that a change is desirable. Ordinarily, when he finds a certain method of till ing his farm is exceptionally profit able he continues that method and is loath to listen to the theory of some tramp who comes along to persuade him he ought to abandon his paying crops and try something else whose value has not been demonstrated. It is still more difficult to convince the farmer if the peregrinating tramp happens to be the same fellow who came along the road twice before on the same errand and prophesied the farmer would fail and be utterly ruin ed if he did not take the stranger's advice. The farmer wants to know "where is that ruin you said would befall me if I did not take your advice in 1896 and 1900." To fortify himself, the tramp car ries credentials signed by the democ racic party. "If you don't believe me, believe the great party that has sent me out on this sublime mission to re scue the people from their poverty and misery." "Umph!" grunts the farmer, "I am not poor and haven't any misery that I know of, and if I were poor and miserable I wonld not care to try again the panacea you and the demo cratic parly administered in 1803 1897 four years that I would like to forget!" "But, my dear, farmer." persists the tramp apostle of amalgamated vagar ies, we need some of your money to " "My money!" shouts the farmer, now getting hot under the neckband; "you bet it's my money, and I'm going to keep it, too. It isn't your kind of money, anyhow, which you recom mended for many years and which, if we had adopted, wouldn't be worth one-half of our present currency that is good for 100 cents on the dollar in the markets of the world good every where, the best that is going, and not one iota of fiat in it. No, sir, it's not your kind of money and you ought to be ashamed to go around over the country begging for it and asking honest, hard working men to give you part of their earnings in order to help bring back the kind of times your party gave us in 1893, 1894 and 1895 aud until the election of McKinley and the restoration of good times, good wages, good prices for everything I can raise on my farm and the best home and foreign market this country ever had. "Give you money to help bring about a change? Nit! Good day." Burlington Hawkeye. CHOICE South Dakota Farms in the Famous JAMES RIVER VALLEY.

In response to a call, a large number of Platte connty Republicans assembled at the Thurston annex last Thursday evening, and unanimously endorsed the candidacy of our townsman, M. D. Karr, for State Railroad Commissioner. Henry Ragatz, sr., was chairman of the meeting. The following resolution was introduced by Mr. Ragatz and unanimously adopted: Be it resolved by the Republican citizens of Co lumbus and Platte County, in Mass Convention as sembled: That we most heartily endorse the candi dacy of Myron D. Karr for the office of State Rail way Commissioner. In support of his candidacy we wish to state that Mr. Karr has been a resident of Columbus and Platte County for a number of years. He has held the position of President of the Colum bus Commercial Club satisfactorily and we have al ways found him ready to respond to the needs of our citizens in an energetic and businesslike manner. We believe he is in full sympathy with the National and State Republican Platforms, and, if elected to the of fice of Railway Commissioner, that he will fill said office with that energy which is characteristic of the man. The office of State Railway Commissioner demands a man who will act with fairness, impartiality and good judgment on all questions brought before the commission, having due consideration for the rights of the railways as well as the interest of the shippers. As president of the Commercial Club Mr. Karr has shown commendable zeal in advancing the interests of Co lumbus, and if elected to the office to which he aspires would act with the same spirit of fairness and energy he has displayed while holding the posi tion at the head of the business interests of the city. He will make an open, clean, but active campaign for the office of Railway Commissioner, treating the other candidates on the primary ballot with due courtesy and consideration, and if defeated for the nomination will be found with his coat and vest off worklug for the successful candidate at the polls. He is entitled to and should receive the vote of every Republican in Platte county at the primary election to be held on September 1st LINCOLN LETTER. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 17. "I have been reading the Democratic plat form," said a prosperous farmer from a central Nebraska county who was a caller at Republican state headquar ters last week, "and if my personal experience of prosperity under repub lican administrations for the last twelve years had not made me a dyed-in-the-wool republican that Demo cratic platform would do the business." "Twelve years ago I was a 'renter' and owned a team, wagon, a couple of cows and a few farm implements," added the visitor, "and by virtue of good prices for all farm products dur ing that time, which I attribute pri marily to the republican policies of sound money and the protection of American wage workers by wise tariff laws, I have been able to pay for a good farm of 120 acres aud have money in the home bank. That ought to be enough to bind me to the sup port of the republican party as against all the promises of the democratic politicians, but if it wasn't, one item in the democratic platform alone would make me hurry to the republican party for defense against the destroy ing hand of democracy." "I notice that the democratic plat form denounces the 'increase' in the number of public officials in recent years and the consequent increase in the public 'pay roll.' Now that sounds all right, but what does it really mean? Where will they make the first sweej) ing discharge of men and reduce what they call the pay roll? I have taken the trouble to look it up and as far as I can see, the democrats, if they keep their word, would very probably stop the Rural Free Delivery of mail be cause that service has added 'more names to the pay-roll, in recent years than any other branch of government work. Now rural free delivery of mail was a republican idea, has been fostered and promoted by republican legislation and is one of the most im portant things the government ever did for the farmer. We farmers wouldn't give it up without a fight and the democratic threat to 'reduce the pay-roll' is no doubt aimed at Rural Free Delivery and the best way to fight that issue is to vote for Taft and Sherman. That this democratic threat is seriously meant is proven by the figures known to everybody. From the reports of the Department I see that in 1908 the total expense of Rural Free Delivery was around fifty thous and dollars and less than loO carriers were employed. In eight years the service had grown so enormously that nearly thirty-five thousand carriers were employed and nearly twenty-six million dollars appropriated to pay the expenses of this service to the farmers. That is where the demo cratic howl comes in about the 'in crease' in the number of 'public offi cers' and the increased 'pay-roll' be cause all these Rural carriers are counted as public officers which of course they are. Am I going to beat myself out of Rural delivery by voting the democratic ticket? Not much. 1 live twelve miles from town and my mail and daily papers come to my farm gate every day. I read and keep even with what goes on in the world and I am taking no chances with the demo crats who are for cutting down the pay-roll, for their first 'chop' would be at the farmers mail delivery. .None of that kind of democratic economy for me. They could cut 35,000 men off the 'pay-roll' by stopping rural deliv ery of mail. That might look fane lor the pay-roll, but what would it do to us farmers?" One of the notable political inci dents of the past week was the devel opment of the scheme of the Bryan political managers in Nebraska to clothe the democratic presidential electors in this state with the garb of "Peoples Independent" party nomina tions, thus securing to candidate Bryan "Peoples party" votes intended to be cast for Watson, the presidential nom inee of the Peoples party. While "legal technicalities" may be cited to J show that the law does not forbid this masquerade of democratic presidential electors, the false pretense is not hid den and the moral turpitude of gaining votes by palpable deceit is no less apparent. Candidate Bryan, who, from the high moral plane he has so long assumed to occupy, has devoted so many words on many occasions to the advocacy of the principle that "lar ceny" is equally offensive whether per petrated "in violation of the law" or "through the operation of law," seems, from his public expressions, to view this brand of moral turpitude with ex treme calmness, not to say satisfaction. "Barkis is willin' to take votes no matter how obtained and it remains to be seen whether this smug manipula tion of practical politics can be forced downthe throats of Peoples party men with the mere accessories of outstretch ed hands and a Voice saying, "Bless you, my children, bless you." The weather has been exceedingly warm in Lincoln and at Fairview this week, but even the high temperature fails to account for the perspiration that has adorned the brow of Candi date Bryan during recent days. It is suggested that the cause may be found in the intense and labored efforts of the two time loser and three-time can- Iffes; sTiall PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, .

Tho Supreme Court shall have Jurisdiction in all cases relating to .the revenue, ci II cases in which the state is a party. mandamus, quo warranto, habeas corpus, and such appellate Jurisdiction as may be provided by law. Section '1. (Amendattat proposed.) That Section four (4) of Article six ') of the Constitution of the State of Nebraska be amended to read as follows: Section 4. (supreme court, Jndfes, election, tent, residence.) The Judges of the Supreme Court shall be elected by the electors of the state at large; and their terms of office, except as hereinafter provided, shall be six years. And said Supreme Court judges shall during their t'-rin of office reside at the place wuere the court Is holden. Sections. (Amendment proposed.) That Section five (5) of Article six (6) of the Constitution of the State of Nebraska be amended to read as follows: Section 5. (Supreme court, Judges, election, term: chief justice.) That at the general election to be held in the state of Nebraska in the year 1909. a 9 each six years thereafter, there shall hi. elected three (3) judge of the Supreme Court, who shall hold their office for the period of six years; that at the general election to be held in the state of Ne braska in the year 1911. and each si.c years thereafter, there shall be elected three (3) judges of the Supreme Court.

Provided that the member of tho date to get before the public his et campaign slogan, "Let the People Rule." The phrase jingles nicely and ex presses an uncontrovertible philosophy a principle for which all intelligent people stand but not in the sense in which Candidate Bryan desires it to be taken. With Candidate Bryan the phrase means "Let Me Rule"; no more, no less than that; just exactly that. No people at any period of the world's history have impressed their will for honest, intelligent, capable and progressive rule on any govern ment, more than have the people of the United States on their government during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Through him the people have been ruling and their highest standards of equity and morals, hon esty and square-dealing have been enacted into the laws of the land so far as our statutes did not already contain them or new conditions made new enactments necessary to proclaim those principles. The people have been ruling aud Candidate Bryan's slogan, "Let the People Rule," is first au uu couscious comedy so far as he is con cerned, and second, erliajs unappre ciated by him, a direct appeal for support of the republican candidates, the history of this couutry for half a century showing that republican ad ministrations have been "the rule of the people" in the best aud highest sense of the term. When Bryan speaks of the "people" he has reference to himself. When he asks "Shall the People Rule?" the proper interpretation in the miud of the Lincoln man is "Shall Bryan Rule?"
