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

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.

of a legislature whose members accept fa
vors from corporations. 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

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

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

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

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.

(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.

where he represented the company In the
defense of that case. He continued as ad-

This was about IMG or 1M7. He continued
In that capacity except that his duties were

He employed all his own attorneys and did
all his own work In regard to the various
matters.

"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.

He said he consulted no one but Mr. rr
klns. "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

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
