Then the ex-congressman fell back on the old, tried and true proposition, the tariff that and the fact that the United States wai branching out Into a world power. Thli latter he thought was the one dark cloud that threatened the country. He deplored the fact that the United States had Inter fered In he war of the orient, and spoke long and earnestly for the country to at tend strictly to the affairs of the home country. On the tariff question he brought to bear one of his old-time speeches and predicted that the democratic party would eventually win a victory. While Shallenberger was talking, W. J. Bryan came into the hall and sat down In the rear without creating a ruffle, but when the speaker had concluded his ad dress, Bryan walked to the front of the house and took his seat amid the Lancas ter delegation. At this the convention sat up and took notice and even Tax Com missioner Fleming of the Douglas delega tion who was quietly slumbering on a front seat, waked up and Joined In the apple use. The temporary organisation was made permanent and then this committee on res olutions was appointed: C. J. Smthe, R. L. Metcalf. C. J. Bowley, W. H. Thomp son, Edgar Howard and Judge Crltes. W. D. Oldham then announced that a train load of delegates was somewhere on the road and he asked that a recess be taken until 5 o'clock. Instead of voting on this at the time, some one called for Bryan and the calls kept up until Mr. Bryan asked the convention to allow him to keep with the Lancaster delegation for awhile and then he would make a talk. Oldham resumed his motion and the recess .was taken until 4 o'clock. ' riatforra Is Adopted. The convention reconvened at 4 o'clock, at which time C. J. Smyth read the plat form as follows: We, the democrats of Nebraska, In state convention ussnmhled, reaffirm our faith In democratic principles as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson and defended by William J. Bryan. As touching the attitude of the demo cratic party of Nebraska toward the gen eral railroad question we declare specifi cally as follows: 1. In favor of a law making the giving of a free railroad pass to a public official a criminal offenHe and the acceptance thereof a forfeiture of office. Thts convention emphatically condemns the Issuance of free transportation for any rurioe oilier than In the genuine cases of charity or to bona Met employes actually under pay of the issuing corporation, and demands the adoption By the next Ne braska legislature of a law making the Intentional acceptance of free transporta tion a criminal offense, as a violation of the print pies of Justce by a common car rier. In favor of placing a valuation upon railroad property for purposes of taxation, based on the market value of the stock of the road plus Its outstanding bonds. t. la favor of an immediate and substan tial reduction of railroad freight rates and to that end we demand that the attorney general shall apply to the federal court for an enforcement of the provisions of the Nebraska maximum freight rate law. We make this demand In harmony wtlh tha right reserved to the state of Nebraska by the court to apply for a reopening of the maximum freight rate case whenever busi ness conditions might warrant. We demand that every executive and Ju dicial officer and every member of the leg. inimrtiiaieiy surrender whatever corporation favors he may have accepted and adhere In the future, to his sworn obligation Hits Jadaes. Tha people cannot expect Just laws for a regulction of corporations at the hands "Please Smile AND Look Pleasant." When a woman savs "I am racked with pain," tha word "racked' recalls the day whea they stretched the tender bodies of women on the rack with roue and pulley until the very joints cracked.

They cannot ex pect equitable taxation of Corporations frsm a noara wnose members tut under obliga tions to thu powers seeking to avoid tax ation. The rule now thoroughly estab lished In our courts that a man is disquali fied from serving as a Juror if he has ac cepted a pass from a corporation that is party to the case, should be as strictly ap plied to the bench as it is to the Jury box. We denounce the acceptance of these cor- fioratlon favors by the Judiciary as pnrtlou nrly offensive; and we pledge to the peo ple of Nebraska that the nominee of this convention will not accept favors In the form of free transportation or otherwise from any corporation. We demand the strict and prompt enforce ment of the law passed by the Nebraska legislature of 1Hii7 providing a fine of 11,000 for any corporation which, In the language of the law, . "contributes money, property, transportation, help or assistance In any manner or form to any political party, or to any candidate for any civil office, or' to anv political organization, or committee, or to any Individual to be used or expended for political purposes." We condemn the republican party of Ne braska for Its general and continued sub servlency to grat corporations and for the hypocrisy of its present day attitude. For more than Ave years that party has been In control of the executive and legislative power, yet It has failed to provide the people with relief from corporate Imposi tion. It has had It within Its power to protect the people, but It has piled higher and higher the burdens upon them and has permitted the representatives of special In terests to wage unrestrained war upon the public welfare. It has permitted the cor porations to name its United States sen ators; to frame the laws enacted by Its legislatures, and to make noneffective the petitions of the people. When republican extravagance In the administration of stats affairs has mnde If-aeeessary to Increase taxation republican officials have seen to It that the Increased burden rested heaviest upon the people and lightest upon the cor porations. Now that the rinmilar nrntoat against this reign of corporation power, through the medium of the republican party, has become so strong that attention must be given that protest the republican party asks for a vote of confidence and ex pects the people to be saUHtieJl with- a re-1 publican convention's "recornmendatlon" that a law be enacted by soma future leg. i (slature to prohibit free railroad trans portation. Legislature is Denoauced. We denounce the republican legislature for its subserviency to the Elevator trust and for its failure to heed the request made on behalf of the farmers of the state that adequate laws be passed for the protec tion of the grain growers from the imposi tions made possible by the conspiracy be tween the elevator combine and the rail roads. We demand the arrest and prosecu tion under Nebraska's criminal laws of every member and officer of the Elevator trust and of all their co-conspirators amenable to that law. We urge an Immediate and vigorous prosecution by tho Nebraska officials of the obnoxious coal, lumber and other criminal combines In the restraint of trade. We favor the passage at the next session of Nebraska's legislature of a law provid ing for the nomination of candidates for public office by the direct primary system. We favor the Initiative and referendum in order that the government may be kept close to the people. We favor the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people as the only means of bringing that body Into har mony with the voters. We express our gratification over the conclusion of peace between Russia and Japan, and cordially commend the presi dent of the United States for his e (Torts toward that end. tiaotee Harmon and Jndaoa. Believing In equal rights to all and special privileges to norm, we demand the enforce ment of ail anti-trust laws, and particularly the criminal clause of the Sherman anti trust law. "Private monopolies are in defensible and intolerable," and we believe the law should be as strictly enforced against the powerful monopolists who prey upon the necessities of the people and con spire against the lives of human beings as It Is against the commonest criminal In the land. We believe with Messrs. Harmon and Judson that "the evils with which we are now confronted are corporate in name but individual In fact;" that ' K etili Is always personal;" thut "so long as officers can hide behind their corporations no remedy can be effected,'' and that "when the gov. ernment searches out the guilty man and makes corporate wrongdoing mean per sonal punishment and dishonor, the laws will be obeyed." We demand the enforce ment of existing laws against rebates and tlie enactment of new laws providing for the imprisonment as well as the fine of corporation officials who violate the law We fuvor a law giving to the Interstate Commerce commission the power to fix railroad rates. The right of appeal should not, of course, be denied; but when the commission has tlxed the rate it should go In force Immediately and remsin In force until rejected by a court of competent Jurisdiction. The enormous Increase In the number of trusts and the enlargement of the power wielded by those great concerns In every plutae of our lite; the manlfeststions of the Influence, wielded by special Interests over the United 8iates senate; the exactions of extortionate prices by the peef trust, and the continued Impositions of other combines.

If popular government ts to be preserved, national authority must be taken from the control of the political party that degiends for success upon campaign funds provided by great corporations w4ios pretense Is patriotism but whose purpose is plunder. Confidently believing that at tD flrst Opportunity the people will require the re publican party to surrender its control ovr the national government, we submit te lee Intelligent men of all political partlea, in Nebraska that the 'contempt shown by th republican party for the public interests of this state requires the defeat of that political organization at the November eiecuuu. H. .!... Wa... Tails. After the platform had been ' adopted Edgar Howard called the attention ,of the chair to the fact that - Judge Hastings wauled to talk. Judge Hastings Introduced THK OMAHA a resolution which provided that no pass be issued except to employee actually em ployed by a railroad or In acts of charity the Issuance of passes to others to be criminal offense. This was made part of the platform Another resolution was adopted condemn Ing the Rockefeller gift to the university and demanding that the money be returned to him. nnoiner resolution expressed the sym pathy of the convention at the 111 health of Judge Holcomb and expressing confidence In him. Seminations by Aerlamatton. Bowlby of Saline moved to nominate supreme Judge, which was adopted amid cans for Bryan. Bowlby placed In nomlna tlon Judge W. E. Hastings of Wllber. P. L. Hall of Lancaster moved that Has tings be nominated by acclamation and that was done amid great applause. juage Hastings made a speech of ac ceptance. In which he thanked the conven tlon for the honor. The democratic party, he said, should not be discouraged because the republican party was now occupying the position the democrats occupied fifteen years ago. He made a bid for railroad support by saying the democratic party should not go further than to say that all corporations and all people should be equal before the law. He said he had ridden on passes, but had none at this time to return. He would not refuse a retainer from s railroad, he said, were he practicing law and If the convention didn't like that kind of a platform, then It could nominate eome one else. He then touched on the tariff and finally quit Equal cries were heard for Bryan and to finish the nominations. Bryan stnrted for the platform and Shallenberger tried to Introduce him, but the convention had become enthusiastic and Bryan spoke. Mr. Bryan expressed his pleasure at beiag able to say a word to the democrats of Ne braska before leaving for a trip around the world. There was never a better time, he said, for him to leave than now, as It would take the president and senate about a year to get together. The democratic rsrtv Is In better shape now, he said, than ever before. The defeat of Parker, he claimed, was not a victory for the republican party, but n rebuke to the democratic party. The repub lican party, he said, was now going through the same fights which the democrats had already settled In their party. No repub lican leader today, he said, was gaining pop ularity except the man who was advocating democratic doctrines. La Follette, he said, was the greatest reformer In the republican party and he gained his popularity by ad vocating democratic doctrines, especially the primary system, which Is a democratic principle. La Follette's advocacy of the regulation of railroads, he said, was an other democratic principle. The popularity of Governor Cummins of Iowa, he said, was gained through his advocacy of demo cratic doctrines. The president of the T.'nlted etates, he said, who today Is en joying popularity, has never done a thing to make him popular except his advocacy of democratic -doctrines. He called upon the democrats to stand by President Roose velt In his tight to give more power to the Interstate Commerce commission Just as far as he wanted to go and to keep In private life all men who weYe under the Influence of the railroads. He believed the pass sys tem Is evil and he urged the people to keep tip the fight against the pass until it was abolished In the nation. After the address of Mr. Bryan most of the delegates and all of the visitors left the hall, but some one yelled the name of D. C. Cole of Polk county for regent, and In the confusion some one called out Louis Llghtner of Platte county, the home of Fred Abbott. Both were nominated by ac clamation and It was all over. FEW POPULISTS IS EVIDErE Small Room Sufficient to Arromiuo dnte Convention. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 30.-8peclal.)-Chalrman Weber called the populist state convention to order at 2:20. Frank Eager, the treas urer, read the call. Mr. Freeman of Platte county was elected temporary chairman, E. Walworth temporary secretary and Mr. Lundean of Saunders county assistant sec retary. The temporary organisation was made permanent. The meeting comprised about fifty dele gates and was held In the Young block at Fifteenth and O streets. There was no opposition to the credentials offered and the' business proceeded smoothly. M. F. Harrington moved the appointment of a committee on resolutions. The com mittee of five members was as follows: M. F. . Harrington. Jacob Wolfe. ex-Lieutenant Governor Gilbert, G. W. Berge and L. D Beltzer. Frank D. Eager moved that the conven tion proceed to the nomination of two re gente and a supreme Judge and then hear Bryan at the Auditorium, where he was billed to address the democrats. The motion aroused a flurry of protests, but eventually carried. Mr. Erlck of Lan caster county was especially vehement. He ssld It was merely a scheme to. get the delegates under the siren Influence of the orator who many times had brought about fusion and had practically swallowed the party. Others said that If the contention disbanded without naming a full ticket It might as well abandon the campaign, as the members would not return. The motion carried. The next order was the nomination of a regent. The name of D. C. Cole, superintendent of schools of -oi county, waa greeted effusively and he was selected by acclamation. A recess until 4:90 waa then taken, many members ex claiming as they left that they would not only avoid hearing Bryan, but would go home on the first train. The others flocked to the Auditorium. When the convention resumed business after listening to the speech of Bryan George W. Berge, chairman of the resolu tions committee, read the platform, which was adopted. The platform Is of the usual popullstlc mould, but went further than the democratic platform In that It de nounced Judge Letton for running for office on an anti-pass platform. The convention nominated Louis Llght ner of Platte county for regent after It had been announced that he had been selected by the democrats. Judge Hastings was then nominated Judge, though If a dlrlslon had been called for he would have lost out A half hour was then devoted to trying to get some one to act as chairman' of the state committee and It waa finally saddled onto Otto Meyer of Lincoln, who was not present. Frank Eager waa chosen treas urer for the same reason and the chairman will select his secretary. n Race Suicide In Dakota. PIERRE, B. D.. Sept.

The first two years this waa $2,000. This was about IMG or 1M7. He continued In that capacity except that his duties were extended. He was given entire chara-e In he United States In the matter of taxation. He employed all his own attorneys and did all his own work In regard to the various matters. "Representing the New Tork Life Insur ance company before legislative commit tees?" asked Mr. Hughes. "I think he did." "Do you know precisely what he did dor "No." "What was his retainer at that timer' "Thirty-five hundred dollars quarterly." "How long did It continue?" "Down to the present time." Taking up the 1100,000 In checks sent to Albany Mr. McCall said, in answer to Mr. Hughes, that he gave them to Hamilton. He said In 1908 the company determined to buy the block In the rear of the home office In this city. Money Spent for Land. He sent for a real estate agent to take up the subject quietly; the New Tork Life In surance company was not to be known In the transaction. In December, 190J, the real estate man reported he thought the block could be procured for 11.100,000 and that IS per cent of this should be available quickly. "I told him," said Mr. McCall, "that I would put him In touch with Judge Hamil ton and pursuant to that I ordered the two checks In question drawn. The vouchers will show what they were drawn for." He procured the vouchers and Identified them. One was the comptroller's warrant and the other Mr. Hamilton's receipt. The words "for temporary use," on one of the vouchers, Mr. McCall said, meant that the money was to be used for the purpose di rected and to b. reported back to the board. He said the 1100,000 had been ac counted for by M,r- Hamilton. Mr. McCall here wanted to make an explanation, but Mr. Hughes, counsel to the Investigating committee,, wanted the account as pre sented. The account, the witness said, was rendered orally to Mr. McCall at his office. He said Mr. Hamilton had paid out $700 on the Elm street property and that there Is still $235,000 unexpended. The checks were produced. They were nine in number, four to the order of John N. Goldlng, the real estate broker, and Ave to the order of An-J arew a. Mammon Tneee Mr. McCall said were checks that had been paid on tho property bounded by Elm. Worth. Leonard and Center streets, New Tork, In 1W'3. Mr. Hughes was Insistent that the report made by Hamilton as to the disposition of the $100,000 should be produced. "Has this money been accounted for?" he asked Mr. McCall. "It has. Mr. Hughes." "Please produce the account." "It was given me personally In my office." "Please produce' this account," repeated Mr. Hughes. "It was given me personally In my office," again said Mr. McCall. Senator Armstrong broke In: "Tou mean verbally?" "Yes. verbally. Ths $100,000 has not all been expended." Just before the committee adojurned for the day Mr. McCall asked and was granted permission to make a statement denying that he waa a man of gre;.t wealth. He said: "Various publications have stated that I have amassed great wealth In a few years, and I want to say under oath that I am not a millionaire nor a part-millionaire. If I should die tomorrow the greatest part of my fortune would be my life In surance." "Do you pay the premium on that?" asked Mr. Hughes. "I pay my company $25,000 a year." re. plied Mr. McCall. "And another thing, of the seventy-three syndicates In which the New Tbrk Life has been making $2,400,000 for the company I have never been In one that sold bonds to the company." "That will be gone Into later," said Mr. Hughes. The committee then adjourned until to morrow. - "Did you really think that In 1904 the In terests of the policy holders were so seri ously endar.ge-ed that the company ought to contribute?" asked Mr. Hughes. "I did think so when the man who had twice voted for Bryan was a candidate on a platform framed by a committee that had by a majority of two to one rejected the gold standard." Mr. McCall then made the statement re ferred to above. side from the $2.Fn quarterly retainer to Mr. Hamilton Mr. McCall said the com pany paid about $lio,on0 a year to Mr. Hamilton for legal services. He denied that be ever gave Mr. Hamilton money to Influence any member of the legislature er that he advised any such course. Of the campaign contribution made by SEPTEMBER 21, 1005.

"I did It on my own hook. I don't Justify the use of campaign funds. I Just ify the use of this money for the benefit of the policy holders." Replying to Mr. Hughes he said: "I honestly believe In this Instance It was Justified. If you ask me If 1 approve of campaign contributions I say no, a thou sand times no. No contribution to any state or municipal campaign funds had been made by the New York Life In surance company since his connection with the company," said Mr. McCall. "Mr. Ham ilton Is at Carlsbad," he said, "but Is ex pected home this month." "Is It the usual thing to supply your agents with $100,000 In money for the pur chase of property?" sskefl Mr. Hughes. "No. Mr. Hamilton Is the only one." 'Did you supply him?" Hamilton Owes Company. would supply Andrew Hamilton with millions." "That Is Interesting tell me about that.' "I supplied Andrew Hamilton with $2,000,. 000 within the last six months on mort gages." "What understanding have you with Mr. Hamilton V "Before he went to Europe he told me that If he were to settle with me he would owe me about SW.000, and he asked me If he were good for It and I said: 'You are; you are all right, Judge.' " "Now, on December 2. 1903. a check for $25,000 was given to Mr. Hamilton and charged to law expenses. Is that right?" "Yes." "You carried the check as cash and yet you later charged It as law expenses. How could you do that?" "We charged It as law expenses to be accounted for." "Do you regard that as a proper entry?" "I do." "What kind of bookkeeping la that? You take It out of one account and place It In another. Why did you do It?" "We did It to have the Item appear aa an asset." "Just what I thought; to appear as an asset," replied Mr. Hughes. At this point Mr. McCall made his state ment to the effect that he was not a man Of great wealth, after which the commit tee adjourned until tomorrow.
