For Float Representative.
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 Nanoe counties
at the primaries, September 1, 1907.
John Swanson.
Primary election, Tuesday, Sept. 1.
Every Republican should be a Taft
booster.
For State Railway Commissioner,
M. D. Karr (X).
The World-Herald elected Bryan
again last Sunday.
Mr. Bryan still clings to the idea
that he is the people.
Yon Yonson has been renominated
for Governor of Minnesota by the
Democrats.
The Baltimore Sun, the oldest Dem
ocratic paper in Maryland, refuses to
cast its rays for Bryan.
Keep in mind that M. D. Karr is a
candidate on the primary ballot for
State Railway Commissioner.
"Let the people rule!" shrieks Mr.
Bryan. Sure! That's what the peo
ple were doing a few days ago down
at Springfield.
The grass is growing on the lawn at
Fairview this week. Mr. Bryan is
away from home beseeching the people
to vote for a change.
The attempt of the Bryanites to
revive the American Protective Asso
ciation is not meeting with unanimous
favor among the Democrats.
Remember that M. D. Karr is a
citizen of Platte county. His name
will appear on the primary ballot for
State Railway Commissioner.
Tammany always demands the cash
in exchange for party loyalty, and the
Democratic committee expects the
farmers of Nebraska to furnish a por
tion of it.
Mr. Bryan delivered the first free
trade speech of the campaign at Dea
Moines last Thursday evening. Iowa
will respond by giving a hundred
thousand majority for Taft.
Mr. Bryan pledges himself not to
advocate government ownership of
railways or the coinage of silver at the
Holy Ratio during the campaign. Are
the "paramount" issues to be repudiat
ed this early in the fight?
The Anti-Saloon League workers
have sent out a circular asking Dem
ocrats to vote against James C. Dahl
man at the primary election, and to
assist in nominating George W. Berge,
who is mentioned as the "logical can
didate of the Prohibitionists, for we
know that he is with us heart and
soul."
Are you a farmer? Have you re
ceived good prices for your wheat,
com and other products during the
past twelve years? Has your land in
creased in value? And do you really
want a change do you want Bryan
and a Democratic congress elected? If
you are satisfied, Mr. Farmer, with
your present condition, vwhy, then,
should you cast your vote against Taft?
Is there any truth in the rumor that
money has been sent to Platte county
to influence votes for the Hon. J. P.
Latta on primary day? It is well
known that Chairman Dan V. Steph
ens is very hostile to the aspirations
of our fellow citizen, Edgar Howard,
but it has not been anticipated that
he would contribute money in the
attempt to influence votes against a
home candidate.
"WORKING" THE FARMERS;
4
In almost every speech delivered
since his nomination, Candidate Bryan
has made a tearful appeal for funds to
assist in electing him President of the
nation. He tells the public tnat
organized wealth is against him; that
the plutocrats have banded together
to defeat him, and appeals to the
farmers to come to his rescue and give
him money.
The fact of the matter is that some
of the wealthiest politicians in the
country are backing Mr. Bryan. The
combined wealth of the men compos
ing his finance committee is .estimated
at half a billion of dollars. The Dem
ocrats who are financiering his cam
paign are worth ten thousand times
more than the republicans composing
the Taft finance committee. On the
Democratic finance committee are for
mer Senator Clark, whose wealth is
estimated at two hundred million dol
lars; Moses Wetmore is credited with
possessing wealth to the amount of
fifty to one hundred millions; then
there is Tom Johnson, Frances 6.
Newlands and other men of great
wealth all in the millionaire class.
Thirty days after the nomination of
Mr. Bryan, the treasury of the Demo
cratic national committee had $300,
000 in the campaign fund, and thous
ands of dollars daily are being receiv
ed, yet the cry is for more. No can
didate ever entered a campaign with
the money that will be devoted to fur
ther the interests of the Democratic
candidate.
A large amount of the money donat
ed will be turned over to the Tammany
braves. Tammany never supports a
national ticket without being paid for
its loyalty. Without the aid of Tam
many Bryan cannot hope to carry
New York state, and even with its
united support the chances are against
the Democrats.
With millions at its disposal, why,
then, should Mr. Bryan appeal to the
farmers of Platte and other counties in
Nebraska for funds to be used in the
attempt to secure a change?
The farmers of Nebraska have every
reason to desire the defeat of the Dem
ocratic candidate. Not a single rea
son worthy of consideration has yet
been advanced why Nebraska farmers
should vote for the perpetual candi
date and against Mr. Taft. The man
who tills the soil knows full well what
a change in 1892 meant for him, and
he realizes that a change in 1908
would bring about like results.
The Bryan campaign committee is
acting on the supposition that the
farmers of Nebraska are a lot of suck
ers who are anxious to be buncoed out
of their money. The refusal of the
farmers to be "worked" by the politi
cians in the interests of Mr. Bryan's
presidential aspirations is evidence
that they are wise enough to think for
themselves and vote as their good
common sense suggests.
JEFFERSON AND TAFT.
Bryanites who are attempting to
make political capital out of Candi
date Taft's church affiliation are prob
ably ignorant of the fact that Thomas
Jefferson and the Republican candi
date were not far apart in their relig
ious views. When Jefferson compiled
his Moral Precepts of Jesus, he wrote
to his friend, Dr. Rush, in a confiden
tial character, the following words:
"And in confiding it to you, I know it
will not be exposed to the malignant
perversions of those who make every
word from me a text for new misrepre
sentations and calumnies. I am, more
over, averse to the communication of
my religious tenents to the public be
cause it would countenance the pre
sumption of those who have endeav
ored to draw them before that tribunal
and to seduce public opinion to erect
itself into that inquest over the rights
of conscience which the laws have so
justly prescribed. It behooves every
man who values liberty of conscience
for himself to resist invasion of it in
the case of others, or their case may,
by change of circumstances, become
his own."
Later, in a letter to Charles Clay,
Jefferson said: "I not only write
nothing on religion, but rarely permit
myself to speak of it."
From the first quotation one would
infer that in his day Jefferson had his
religious views ridiculed and criticised.
His enemies referred to him as an
"infidel" an "unbeliever," and mis
represented him along the same lines
that a number of Bryan organs in
Nebraska are misrepresenting Mr.
Taft today.
But Jefferson and Taft are not the
only great men who have been brutally
abused for their religious belief by the
Democratic press. Lincoln and Grant
were denounced as enemies of God for
not uniting with the church. The
latter became a communicant of the
Methodist church just before he retired
from the white house.
Note, however, the different tone
the Democratic press played when
Hayes, Garfield and Harrison were
nominated for president. 'All of these
SjHSJ
men were church .members, and yet
the Democratic press was not satisfied
with "tiieir morals, and they were
spoken of as "hypocrites who do not
practice what they preach;" "psalm
whanging frauds," and alluded to in
other ways calculated to bring them
into disrespect among the church
going.people.
The attacks of the Bryan organs on
Mr. Taft for -his alleged religious be
lief will not injure him among fair
minded men. The Bryan organs do
not anticipate that it will. It is the
ignorant and bigoted they hope to
influence.
MINISTER TURNS POLITICIAN.
Rev. C. P. W. Wimberly, a Pres
byterian minister, residing in Nance
county, has written a letter to the
State Journal in which he says: "I
cannot see how Christian people can
vote to make to make Taft president
of this nation when he repudiates the
central trust of Christianity." The
Rev. Wimberly is a southern Demo
crat who appears to have inherited the
religious and political prejudices from
that section of the country from
whence he came. He looks through
southern Presbyterian spectacles and
sees in Candidate Taft a dangerous
man, and appears to be amazed that
at the mere thought that a professing
christian should vote for the Republi
can nominee. Surely, if the Rev.
Wimberly were acquainted with the
history of his church on the stand it
has taken on political questions in the
past he would not be so free to inject
his prejudices into a political cam
paign. It was about the year 1860,
that representatives of the Presbyte
rian church from southern states
assembled in Baltimore and solemnly
declared that slavery was a divine in
stitution. That declaration made at
Baltimore has never been repudiated
by the southern Presbyterians, yet no
one even intimates at this day that a
member of the Presbyterian church,
who happens to lie a candidate, for
office, is not entitled to receive the
votes of Christian people. Cleveland
was a Democrat and a member of the
Presbyterian church; Harrison was a
Republican and an active member of
the same church, yet no one attempted
to influence votes against them on
account of .their church affiliation.
The Rev. Wimberly should cultivate
a spirit of fairness and exhibit a little
christian charity toward those who
affiliate with other churches.
SLEEPING IN HIS TENT.
There was held at Denver recently
a meeting of Attorney Generals from
a dozen western states. Among those
present was the Duputy Attorney
General of Nebraska, who told of the
wonderful work accomplished by
Attorney General Thompson in prose
cuting the trusts. This will be news
to most people in Nebraska. A for
mer Attorney General did commence
or threatened to commence action
against the grain trust, but for some
reason, never satisfactorily explained,
not a single case was brought to trial.
All the present Attorney General has
done in prosecuting trusts was to
relieve himself of a lot of hot air pre
vious to his election two years ago
about what he was going to do if
elected, but he never got busy. While
the Attorney Generals of the states of
Kansas, Texas, Missouri and Okla
homa have been active in the prosecu
tion of unlawful combinations that
restrict competition, the Attorney
General of Nebraska has been sleep
ping in his tent, or planning with other
alleged reformers to capture the legis
lature for the county optionists.
All other reforms have been dis
carded, and county option made the
paramount issue on the part of the
progressive element in the Republican
party, assisted by a faction in the
Democratic party, with the ultimate
object of forcing the Republicans to
endorse a state prohibitory law.
CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
The expected has happened, and as
every practical man knew it would,
the popular subscription to the demo
cratic campaign fund, unfortunately
entreated by the two candidates on the
democratic national ticket, has disas
trously failed. The Courier-Journal
could raise but a miserable $55, and
in one county in Kentucky that never
yet gave a republican majority or
plurality the democratic organ raised
but a single dollar, and contributed
that itself.
Your sentimentalist and your drea
mer find place on the stump to spell
bind and wind jam, but when it comes
to gathering together the boodle, they
must give way to men of affairs. In
1880 Gen. Garfield sought to carry
Indiana by putting the campaign in
charge of the hierarchy of that Chris
tian sect vulgarly called Campbellites,
bat Jay Hubbell would not hear of it,
and seat something less than a box car
fall of $2 bills, and they did the
Tke aDontaneona doaaiioaa haviae

proposed, to resort to practical means
to fill the.eamamign chest, and -former
Senator Pettigrew and present Gov.
Haskell have been ins consultation
with the head of the ticket to devise
ways and means. Whether the limit
of $10,000 is to be abandoned we are
not advised.
But it matters not so long as it was
provided that there was to be publicity
of no subscription under $100, which
would allow Millionaire Wetmore to
chip in many tisses"$10,000 if so in
clined. James Guffey, of Pennsyl
vania, it will be recalled, has contrib
uted $100,000 in cash to say nothing
of certain stained glass windows in
behalf of Mr.' Bryan. It would be
easy -.for Mr. Guffey to contribute
$10,000 this year, and another $40,000
in blocks of $50 in the names of 800
of his fellow citizens. The whole
scheme is ridiculous in this: It is based
on the fallacy that a rich man can have
none, but selfish interest in his coun
try, while a poor man can have none
but virtuous interest in it.
As for republicans, they are practi
cal men without any nonsense. They,
know that it takes money to run a
national campaign, and their appeal is
to men who "have money. Of course
they will be accused of selling privi
lege for it.
But if the farmers should chip in,
as Mr. Bryan invites them, would he
recommend and advocate the repeal
of the oleomargarine iniquity or pro
mote the effort to take the tariff off
hides? Washington Post.
LINCOLN LETTER.
Lincoln, Nebr., Aug. 24, 1908.
"Money, money, give me money to
elect myself to the presidency," seems
to have become the burden of Candi
date Bryan's song on every possible
occasion. Not only was his notifica
tion address on August 12th thorough
ly impregnated with "campaign con
tribution" talk but his consultations
with party managers before and after
that event as reported by all the news
paper men, were 98 per cent on the
subject of getting money out of the
people to spend in his campaign. Con
sidering that Candidate Bryan's pri
vate fortune is ten thousand times
larger than that of the average man
whom he asks to contribute the ques
tion of the propriety of these insistent
appeals for money is rapidly percolat
ing the democratic mind and sugges
tions that Candidate Bryan pay some
of the freight on himself is heard from
democratic sources.
A broad smile that has matured into
a genuine and hearty "horse-laugh" is
rolling across the state this week ever
the efforts of a frenzied democratic
newspaper at Omaha to defend Candi
date Bryan's accumulation of a fortune
while pretending to fight the battles of
the poor and downtrodden. The fren
zied journal admits the accumulation
by Candidate Bryan of an "immense
private fortune" but says in defense of
the perennial candidate, "he has earn
ed this with clean hands," and therein
lies the humor that has caused the
broad and vociferous guffaw which is
rolling across the state. Most Ne
braskans, whose hearing is not seri
ously impaired, have long labored
under the impression that Candidate
Bryan "earned" his competence with
his mouth instead of his hands on a
strict percentage of "gate receipts."
Democratic politicians and news
papers are never quite happy unless
engaged in misrepresentation. Just
now both are busy trying to convince
the farmer that his land assessment .is
high while the assessment of railway
properties have not been advanced
under the new revenue law, thus giv
ing ihe farmer the worst of it Noth
ing is farther from the truth as the
official records will show. The last
valuation of the railways in Nebraska
under the old law was made in 1903
at which time the railways of the state
(including the Pullman Car Co.) were
valued for purposes of taxation at
$27,284,946.00. This was on a total
mileage in the state of 5,777.1 miles.
For the year 1908 the railway (includ
ing the Pullman Co., as before) are
valued for purposes of taxation at
$53,478,392.72, an increase since 1903
of $26,193,446.7$ or uearly 97 per
cent The mileage had increased only
213 miles in this period, to a total of
5,990.31 miles in the state, showing
thathe increase was not on the growth
or advancing value of the railways
bnt practically on the same-property
assessed in the year 1903.
The state debt of Nebraska 'affords
a decidedly complimentary proof of
the ability, economy and Integrity of
the republican party -applied to the
problems of state administration.
When republics officials took charge
of state affairs in January, .1901, after
years of mismanagement by the demo
pop combine they-found they had in
herited an outstanding floating debt of
$1,750,073.82 aad a profusion of defi
ciencies in state institutions and appro
priations that weald further" add to
that sum as the obfiftstiWaccmed

available. From these conditions the
state debt soared to its high point in
December, 1905, when it totaled
$2,375,398.55. Through republican
legislation and economy of adminis
tration, without affecting the efficiency
of any state department or institution
and without burden to the taxpayers,
the debt has been steadily reduced and
on July 31st, 1908, stood at $479,
712.33. Within twelve months the
remaining debt will be wiped out and
Nebraska will not owe a dollar. That
is the republican record of state ad
ministration. "LET THE PEOPLE RULE!"

Will Take the Stump for the Birds.
Although Nebraska has a law against
slaughtering of song birds, yet it is
ignored in almost every county of the
state. All of the Columbus papers have
oalled attention to the violation of
ibis law, yet it appears not to have in
fluenced the desire on the part of boys,
yes, and older people, too, to have re
spect for the law. So grat has become
the annual slaughtering of birds, to satis
fy the vanity of woman, and the sporting
propensities displayed by men and boys,
that the question has become one of
national importance. An association
has been organized for the protection of
the birds, which is, in reality, an associa
tion for the protection of the country
iteself against the ravages of tbe insects.
.ANew York dispatch says: While
the fight for tbe presidency is spreading
over the country, another national cam
paign for the rights of the feathered po
pulation of the continent is to be pressed
with redoubled force from this city to
day. Acting for the inland birds whose
further extinction must lay bare all the
land and for the water fowl whose death
will bring on national pestilence the
National Association of Aubudon socie
ties has mapped out every section of the
United States and organized a force of
speakers to bring home their issues to
the people. Though the political bat
tle will end next November this cam
paign for the birds will be ceaselessly
carried to every American citizen until
eventually the federal and state govern
ments shall establish bureaus to ade
quately meet the national need for econo
mic bird preservation.
Seven able ornithologists have today
been assigned to cover as many divisions
of the whole country and establish lo
cal headquarters in this unique campaign
for the national feathered life. At a
constant cost of 910.000 a year these
trained workers will be kept on tour
until every community in the land has
had the opportunity to bear the story of
the dying birds and the loss of life and
crops which their decresse threatens.
Funds to increase this campaign force
will be sought from every man, woman
and child in the country who cares for
the birds or Las a dollar at stake in tbe
agricultural and commercial interests
which they alone can save from de
struction. While only sbout a thousand
members today help the National As
sociation of Audubon societies to main
tain scores of reservations, an army of
wardens, a small fleet of patrol boats and
a staff of educational workers it is believ
ed that, whra the present emergency is
brought home to the nation many thous
ands will enlist in the movement.
"Save the birds who save our lives
and crops' is to be the watchword of the
new national bird campaign which is
being launched at Audubon headquarters
here today. The predction of Henry W.
Henshaw, a government expert, that
! th birds exterminated it is al
most certain that not only would success
ful agriculture be impossible, but the de
struction of the greater part of vegeta
tion wonld follow" is to be the keynote.
The established fact that destructive in
sect life today is alsrmingly on the in
crease and the birds, its natural check,
steadily becoming exterminatinated will
be set forth before every farmer, orchard
ist, railroad and business man together
with the known loss of $800,000,000 due
to this condition Isst year. Medical
authorities will be cited and the pro
fession aroused to the possibilities of
plsgae in the decline of the water fowl,
Nature's scavengers.
"We intend to place before all the
people the gasatest non partisan issue
contorting the nation at this time," said
William Dutcher the president of the
National Association of Audubon Societ
ies silts headquarters today. wWe are
aeuaralv facias as impending national
osiassity 'and yet the government only
iem
OjSt
appropriates some $62,000 a year to in
vestigate and educate on this paramount
economic problem. As much is put into
one single gun which is soon worn out.
Until the federal and ihe state govern
ments are forced by the people to es
tablish adequate departments or bureaus
for the expert handling of this important
subject the association will kept up this
fight throughout the nation. I believe
this work will eventually be adopted as
one of the government's most essential
activities; but until it is, we shall call on
all patriotic Americans to help us fill the
breach and struggle with the grave pro
blem which, aside from sentiment, is of
intense economic importance."
A Winning Speech.
She was white with indignation.
"You shall never go down to that
horrid club again. James Henry."
"But, Martha, I"
"Never mind. You heard what I said.
You must remember when I bring my
foot down on anything it bears
weight."
"Nonsense!"
"What? You mean to ridicule my
assertion, James Henry Butler?"
"Ob, no, my dear. I merely wished
to remark that a foot as small as the
one you possess could not possibly
bear weight."
There was a long pause.
"You really think so, James? Well,
now, aren't you both clever and truth
ful! I believe I will let you go down
to the club to-night if you'll promise
to come home real early."

VIENNOISE PUDDING IS GOOD.
Dessert Dish That Should Be Serves)
with Sweet Sauce.
Put two tablespoonfuls of granulat
ed sugar into a small pan over the
fire; let it melt and become a rich
brows color, but not black; allow to
cool for a few minutes, then add
three-quarters of a pint of milk. It
will at first cause the sugar to set in
a hard lump. That is quite right;
merely stir it over the fire for a few
minutes, and as the milk becomes hot
the sugar will remelt.
Mix together in a basin three
eunces of cleaned sultana raisins,
three tablespoonfuls of sugar, the
grated rind and strained juice of one
small lemon and five ounces of bread
cat lato small cubes like ordinary
dice. Add the colored milk and allow
to remaia in a cool place for tea min
utes. Beat up two eggs and add them
with one glass of home-made wlae.
Let soak for 15 minutes. Pour the
mixture into a buttered mold. Twist
a piece of buttered paper over the
top. Put the mold in the steamer for
about one hour. Turn out and serve
with sweet sauce.
Crystal Mints.
Add to one pound pulverized sugar
enough cold water to make a very
thick paste. Wet the sugar all through,
but do not have it in the least thin
or watery. Bring to a boil, taking
care to stir enough to keep from burn
ing. The paste thins as it heats and
it can be easily stirred. Just as it
bolls take it from the fire, put in a few
drops of oil of peppermint, tasting the
mixture to see when the flavor Is
strong enough. Go cautiously, as the
oil Is very powerful. Mix well so that
the flavor goes all through the mix
ture, then chop from the end of the
spoon on any hard, smooth surface a
large plate will do. The mixture
should form round drops that harden
at once. If the sugar becomes too
thick before you have the drops all
made heat again and if absolutely
necessary add a few drops of water,
but be sparing of this or you will get
the mixture too thin.
