LMER J. BURKETT,

His record in Congress and one term in the United States Senate is so well
known to the people of Nebraska that comment here is unnecessary. He has a record
of doing things, and while it has not always been possible for him to get just exactly
what he wanted, he has certainly done all in his power to advance the material interests
of the people of Nebraska.
The State has never had a representative in the National Congress who has ac
complished more, nor attained a higher standing in the councils of the nation. He is
probably entitled to more credit for the passage of the Postal Savings Bank law and the
extension of rural free delivery tnan any other man in Congress. The positions he has
attained to upon important Senate Committees, especially on the appropriation Commit
tee, is an asset to the State that can be attained only by experience and length of faith
ful service, something that a new man would not reach except by the same strenuous
route traveled by Senator Burkett in his long years of service.
Nebraska can hold her own and come to the important place she deserves in national
affairs only by retaining her tried and true representatives. Every voter should remem
ber this, and under the Primary System it devolves upon each individual voter to go to
the polls and see that we lose no advantage already gained through the efficient service
of our senior senator.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 16th. EVERY VOTER WHO BELIEVES IN ELECT
ING A SENATOR BY THE DIRECT VOTE OF THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE SURE
TO RECORD HIS VOTE. DO NOT DELEGATE TO SOMEONE ELSE THIS DUTY
YOU OWE AS A CITIZEN. The old veterans appreciating the service rendered by
Senator Burkett have made a platform for him specifying some of the things he has al
ready achieved and shows something of his ability to accomplish what he undertakes.
The Senator stands squarely on the Platform of the Republican party, which is
progressive in every particular, and insists always that lines must be sanely drawn, but
be in keeping with new ideas and necessities. He is in the prime of life, clean morally
and politically, honest and able, a hardworking, painstaking and faithful public servant,
and deserves the support of every true Nebraskan.

A DENIAL BY HAMOH
OKLAHOMA SENATOR TAKES THE
STAND IN DEFENSE.
NEVER MADE A BRIBE BFFER
For Four Hours Hamon Enters a Son-
tinuous Series of Denials to
Charges.
Muskogee. Okl With United States
Senator Thomas P. Gore reasserting
his charge that he had been offered a
bribe of fio.OOi) or $:0.000 to inlluence
his action in congress, and with Jake
L. Hamon. accused by the senator ot
having offered the bribe, denying he
had ever done ny such thing, the in
vestigation of the Oklahoma Indian
lands deal by a committee of the
house of representatives simmered
down to a mass of denials.
Chairman Iturke of the investigat
ing committee authorizd a statement
that Vice President Sherman would
not be summoned to appear before the
committee. It was said that no evi
dence had been introduced to show
that Mr. Sherman could throw any
light on the investigation.
For four hours Hamon. former
chairman of the Oklahoma republican
fctate committee, entered a continuous
series of denials relative to his al
leged relation with what are known
as the McMurray contracts by which,
according to Senator (lore. $.:.0U0.00i
pr 10 per ent of $30,000,000 to be real
ized from the sale of Indian lands to
a New York syndicate, was to be di
verted from the Indians in the shape
of "attorney fees."
Hamon also answered Congressman
C. E. Creager with a denial. Replying
to the congressman's charge that Ha
mon had suggested that an "interest"
In the contracts might be available
to the congressman if the latter
helped remove opposition to congres
sional approval. Hamon testified:
"It was just this way I was down
here in Oklahoma attending to my
business, when a friend told me Crea
ger had said I Mad approached him
improperly in regard to the McMur
ray contracts. So I hopped on a train
and went to Washington. I got hold
of Creager and said. "Look here, you
know I never said any such thing.'
"Then Creager said: 'Now Jake,
that certainly was the impression I
got that you suggested I might get
an interest in the contracts.' I replied.
"You certainly are mistaken. Then
Creager said: 'Well, if you said I
shouldn't. I won't go before that in
vestigating committee down at Mus
kogee and testify that you approached
me.' "
Among Hamon's denials were the
following:
He denied that he ever at any time
had been closeted with Senator Gore
in the senator's office at Washington
to urge the approval of the contracts.
He denied he had ever mentioned
