Platform Adopted. '
Tha committee on resolutions reported
through Chairman Metcalfe. - The platform
follows: i '
The democrats of Nebraska In state con
vention assembled renew allegiance to the
party of Jefferson, Jackson and lJrvan.
We rejoice In the rapid growth of demo
cratlo aentlment throughout the country,
and appreciate the compliment bestowed
upon the party when Its principles and doc
trines are bodily appropriated by the pro
gressive leaaers or tne repunucan party
We watch with Interest their efforts . to
ineir pariy 10 accept . aemocraiic
doctrine and we deplore the helplessness
or tneir tasa. , to tneir followers, how
ever, wa extend a hearty Invitation to be
come democrats In' fact,' aa they aj-e In
spli;', an.. to join the democratle ranks
unnr the leadership of America's dis
tlngul'hul statesman, William J. Bryan,
we extend- to Mr. Bryan a "heany wel
come home. We rejoice that he stands to
day aa a conspicuous and central figure
In the great moral and political revolution
which is now sweeping over the country.
While all the ststes -rejoice that he has
become the first citizen of the world It re
malna only for our state to boast that It
gave him political birth and' started him
upon tne highway of fame and usefulness.
We recognize that In the present cam
paign jttate Issues are dominant, and to
the people of Nebraska regardless of party
we offer certain pledgee and promise their
prompt execution if intrustod with the ad
ministration of atate government. .
We will pass a comprehensive direct pri
mary law. for the whole state, under which
party candidates for all offices shall be
nominated by the direct vote of the people.
We will enact a stringent antl-pnss law
to prohibit all persons except bonafide
railway employe and atockmen In actual
charge of livestock from accepting or rid
ing upon railroad passes, . and to prohibit
railroada from Issuing them and to punish
l 1 1 l.U. I I 'III! imuiui iiivrn
railroad officials for the tlolation of the
law, forfeiture of office Irf ease of publlo
, 0"?cla;1 "d by fine In all canes. Until
thla la accomplished We wllr enforce 'the
present antl-pasa law, heretofore neglected
and obsolete upon the statute book of the
siaia.
We will pas a law providing for., max
imum Passenger fare within the state of
Nebraska of two centa a mile including pen
alties for Ita violation.
We will enforce through the State Board
of Equalisation the equal and Just assess
ment of all property In the state. Includ
ing railroad property, upon the basis of the
actual value of the stock and bonds.
, Faroe Camailulaa Amendment.
We endorse the propoaed amendment to
the constitution providing for a railway
commission aa a atep irf the right direc
tion and pledge our candidates. If elected,
to give the commission the fullest support
and broadest uawers for bringing relief
to the people from the present unjuat and
exorbitant freight rates and discrimina
tions. VV declare In favor of the plan of
adopting tha aam railroad valuations for
furpoaes of taxation that are adopted for
he purpose of regulating railroad rates
and railroad earnings and we demand that
the legnalaiur empower (he elective rail
road commission to appraise and determine
the aotual value of the railroad corpora
tion and other common carrier of th
tate for these two purposes.
We point to the scandalous record of
the last legislature, which, at the bidding
of Its bosses, defeated tha inti-paas bUk
blila reducing freight ratea, the direct
primary bill, the bill to assess railroad
property on the value of Its stock and
bonds, and which Indulged In wild ex
travagance of appropriations; and we
promise If entrusted wit power by th
people of Nebraska such relief from tax
burden a. may b possible by economy
in state government and equalisation of
aaaeasmeate.
We denounce the majority member of
the preaont Board of Equalisation as
brasen railroad tool and ws ara amased
at their effrontery In seeking raoouil na
tion aud election. x
We particularly condemn th present
secretary of alate, Gaiuaha, for hla out
rageoua delay In publishing the railroad
commission amendment te the constitution,
which daisy can oaiy be explained aa due
to the moat disgraceful incompetency or
aa part of a plot to invalidate the amend-
ma.tC- '-- -
We are unalterably opposed to th pro
fessional kiwbisu very person aad a vary
corporation has a right to be heard upon
all mattera affecting their interests, but
outside of thsl the professional lobbyists
has no-wwre rlgnt to tamper with Mie
legislator than a litigant baa to tamper
ith a -f'try thaf ts consldrlng his osse.
We therefore dechkr fn tavor of legisla
tion, eliminating tna prufesalonal lobbyist
fron our politics.
We .deplore that "HTle rspubllcan party
of the Flt district han beeai willing to
renominate by acclamation' as represent
ative tncongrtaa from -this otate a man

Believing that the vltalilnterests of the
people ol Nebraska are at this time In
volved chiefly In the triumph of the reform
movement, to rid the state government' of
oorporote control? In Ks -legislative and ad
nilnlst rative branches, we- deplore tha fact
that Id the preliminary republican cam
paign Ktate' fntereets have been largely lost
eight .efi- or skillfully smothered by h
manipulations nf, snntnrtal aspirants and
lotttng railroads, who have subordinated
he state issues and the state campaign lo
the personal contest of senatorial aspirants.
By these means It has been possible for
corporstlons largely to ecre a controlling
voice in th -selection of-legislative candi
dates' and "slate" nominations, thus holding
for themselves the substance of political
power In Nebraska, while the attention of
republican leaders and voters la fixed upon
the glittering senatorial prlke.
We favor the abolition of the common law
fellow-servant- rule as applied to the opera
tion of railroads In our state.' We believe
where any employe of a railroad Is Injured
or killed in the line of duty through the
negllgenre of . a co-employe without con
tributory negligence on his part that dam
ages should be awarded to the person In-
iured or to the -next of kin of the person
llled as now provided by law In other
cases.
We favor the enactment or a law wnereDy
persona and Companies desiring to. do a
shipping business In lumber, live stock,
fuel and grain, and who shall give bonds
to erect a public elevator of not less, than
$2,000 value may apply lo-any railroad com

We demand local self government for the
cities of this state In all police regulations
for the .government of the same. We
believe .the voters of the city are best
qualified' to determine their administrative
pollcles- on such matters. .
We therefore demand tbst. Omaha and
South Omaha have the right to govern

OLD FIRE HORSE DIES AT WORK
I , . - . . .
"Cyclone" Drop, la Harness While na
Raa to Rohrbongh Balldlaar.
"Cyclone," the fire horse, dropped dead
at :18 Tuesday evening at Eleventh and
Harney streets white responding to an
alarm of fire from the Rohrbough building
at Nineteenth and Farnam streets. To the
ordinary pedestrian, the sight of a dead
horse on the street did not cause any par
ticular comment, but to the passing fire
men 'Cyclone'" dead form meant some
thing more than that of passing interest.
Cyclone-died In the harness. At 9:15 th
slarm sounded in the fire house at Eighth
and Pierce at reeta, and Cyclone, with hla
runnlnflr tvista Onlone! ItimnMt Intn h
rharnass, as they have done for nine years.
Like the wind the animals drew the heavy
hose cart at Eleventh ai)d Harney streets,
where Cyclone dropped to the pavement.
Cyclone wa. loved by all the firemen who
had come in contact with, him. Nine year,
ago he and Colonel were bought together
and placed In ' the barn at Twenty-fourth
and Cuming street Cyclone loved the
children, who often visited him, and yet
when going to a fire be wa. one of the
moat active animate In the department
When the gong aounded Cyclone was the
first In the harneaa. A year ago Chief
Salter rewarded Cyclone and Colonel for
faithful services by transferring them to a
barn where- they would not have as much
bard work- as they had had In the years
before.
Tuesday evening when Cyclone dropped
to the street Driver Tom Casey jumped
hurriedly from hie seat and had to look
In some other direction than toward that
of the dead horse. Colonel teamed to share
th grief.
