NEBRASKA FIGHTING GROtND
Fierce Struggle in Prospect for
Bryan'i Home State.
DTDIAUA WE. IT EE FEELS PULSE
la ( Claims of Republicans and
a
Dtmscrtt Reform Record of
Stat Administration Lin
coln aad Dollnr Mart.
Jamfi P. Ilsrnaday, staff correspondent
f the Indianapolis News, felt the politi
cal pulse in Nebraska on his return from
the Denver convention. Writing under an
Omaha date, he aaya:
Nebraska will be the fkghtlng ground In
this year's national campaign. Bryan Is
confident he will have Its eight electoral
votes. The republicans, under the leader
ship of Governor George L. Sheldon, and
Victor Rosewster. the energetic young
member of the national committee, are
Just as confident Taft will carry the state.
After hearing what each side has to say
one must conclude that the result In the
state will be In doubt until the votes are
counted. The democrats and populists,
working together, gave Bryan the state by
1J.57, In 1M. Four years later he lost the
slate by 7.S9I, and four years ago Roosevelt
carried It by SC.6S2.
The last show of strength between the
two parties was two years ago. when
Mr. Sheldon was elected governor by 12.97J
plurality. These figures show how uncer
tain an election In this state Is. Party
fealty rests lightly oni the voters. They
have learned to vote for what seems to
them to be to their Interests. If, before
election day, they decide that the election
of Bryan would be tetter for the country
than the election of Taft, they will give
him the state by a large plurality; If.
on the other hand, their final decision Is
that It Is to the country's Interest and
to their Interest to elect Taft, they will
not let state pride or anyhlng else stand
In the way of giving the state to the repub
lican nominee. 1
A Commercial Man's Views.
Outside of Lancaster county, the county
In which Lincoln Is located, there Is no
perceptible drift for either candidate at
this time. On the train was a commer
cial traveler, who summed up the situation
In this way: "I make nearly every city
and town In Nebraska. Outside of Lin
coln you seldom hear politics mentioned
unless you bring up the subject. As
nearly as I can get at It, the people are not
much Interested one way or the other.
They say to me: Taft and Bryan arc
both good men. It does not make much
difference which Is elected. Taft Is not
likely to push any of the Roosevelt re
form movements very hard If he gets In,
and Bryan can not be expected to accomp
lish much if he wins because he will have
a republican senate to contend with.' One
thing has Impressed me. No one seems
to be afraid of Bryan now. I have not
heard a man say he Is now afraid to trust
Bryan In the white house.' My guess Is
that with the voters so unconcerned about
which man Is elected, it will be difficult
for the politicians to stir up a great deal
of Interest In the campaign."
Home County for Bryan.
There Is no doubt that Llnnoln and Lan
caster county, the horne city and home
county of the nominee are rampant for
Mr. Bryan. If one judged the sentiment
of the entire state by the drift In Lin
coln tie would be disposed to say that
Bryan will carry the state by an enor
mous plurality. The Lancaster county
people tjavs come to appreciate Bryan. . Ag
one of the nominee's friends' In Lincoln
said: "He Is coming Into his own here
at home. Our people want to see him
president, and will vote for him pretty
generally, regardless of former party af
filiations."
This seems to be the fact. Half the re
publicans In Lincoln have Bryan pictures
In their windows, and say they Intend n
vote for h'm. "But many of them will
change their minds," saki an officer of the
republican state committee. "Walt until the
campaign opens and the democrats get Co

thlns. Then you will see mot of thes
Krysn republicans hiking bark to their own
party.' Hut It Is reasonable to assume that
Mate pride will do a tood deal fur Bryan,
nad It Is apparent that his own people as
11 wool, have a warmer affection for hi n
tunn ever b-for. Thry have cime to realise
that whatever political fortune may have In
store for him, he Is a great man a c.tlsen
cf whom the state may Justly be proud.
I loir Democrats Reason.
Here are the reasons the democrats give
for their lelief that the state will surely
give Its electoral vote to Bryan:
1. State pride.
2. He will get the farmer vote, because
the farmers are Immense y plesse I with the
democratic declaration tn fsvor of federal
gnwnmrni Hnd the states guaranteeing
hank deposits.
.1. Ho will crt the rallro.-id employes' vote.
4. He will not be opposed by tie lalirotida
and otl.er rorporailons In the stat.
In support of the assertion that the
farmer vote will be for their nominee the
democratic managers point out that if there
Is one thing In which the farmers of the
state ore interested today It Is the guaran
teeing of bank deposits. They are Im
mensely prosperous, they are out of dbt
and have plenty of money In bank. Thi
bankers' janle of last fall gave them a
sciire. they want their deposits guaranteed
It Is nserted by the democratic managers
that i he republicans dare not attark this
j-lank of the democratic platform to
make on assault on It, Is os'erted
will drive pra!lcally all the west
ern farmer to Hryan. It Is es
timated that there are 23. 0X railroad em
ployes in Nebraska, Including outside men
and Inside men. and the democrats 1 elleve
they will get the bulk ef the vote for
Hryan.
Trainmen for Bryan.
Unquestionably thev trainmen are for
Bryan at this time. Nearly all of them
are wearing Bryan buttons, and say
frankly they intend to vote for him. Four
years ago this vote was for Roosevelt.
The republicans have heard that the rail
roads are disposed to encourage their em
ployes to support the democratic nominee,
and they are half Inclined to believe the
story. The roads have been hard hit by
the republican state administration, and
furthermore, It Is asserted, they foresee
four years of rest from federal legislation
If Bryan shall be elected.
Hott Repnhlleans Reason.
The republican leaders give the follow
ing reasons why the state will give Its
eloctroal vote to Taft:
1. The state Is nominally republican, and
Taft will poll the full republican vote.
i. i ne iseoraska farmers were never so
prosperous as now, and will not vote for
a change rrom republican to a democratic
administration.
3. The republican partv Is the real re
form party In Nebraska and the record
of the last legislature shows this.
4. The populists who co-onerated with
the democrats in 18!6 and In 1P00 have
nearly all gone back to the party to
which they originally belonged the reoub
llean party, and will support Mr. Roose
velt s candidate for president.
That the state Is republican on a normal
vote, the republican managers say, Is
shown by the vote on governor and on
United States senator two years ago, when
the party obtained a plurality of 12,973 on
governor, and 15,523 on a direct vote for
United States senator.
Last year the state elected a legisla
ture containing ninety-seven republicans
and thirty-six democrats a majority of
sixty-one on Joint ballot. But the strong
reliance of the republicans Is on the pros
perity of the farmers and the reform state
legislation by the republicans. v
The Nebraska farmer Is passing through
an era of prosperity such as he has never
experienced before. Good crops have been
harvested for several years, and this year's
harvest will be almost up to the standard
of the last two or three years. Prices for
what he has to sell were never higher
than at this time. Cattle are bringing $7
on the hoof; hogs, 35 to 36; corn, 80 cents,
and wheat, 96 cents. Old corn reached
the top notch In the history of the Omaha
market last week, and farmers have It
to sell. Nebraska's corn crop, last year,
was worth $90,000,000, or 311,000,000 more
than the gold output of the United States,
and she marketed 45.000,000 bushels of
wheat. With such prosperous conditions.
the republicans say, why should the
farmers vote to change the politics of the
national administration.
Say Radicals Are Satisfied.
According to the republican view the
Sheldon administration of state affairs has
satisfied the most radical voters, repub
llcans and democrats. This adm'nlstration.
It Is asserted, has freed the party and the
state from railroad domination. For years
the state was governed by the railroads,
There were times when the farmers had to
burn their corn because they could not pay
the freight rates fixed by the railroads.
Two years ago the republicans nominated
George L- Sheldon for governor anl rdipted
a radical reform platform. Through the
efforts of Victor Rosewater of The Omaha
Bee candidates for the legislature were
pledged to stand by the platform, and they
did it. The legislature passed a 2-cent fare
law; a new assessment law, which compels
the railroads and other corporations, the
gas and water companies, etc., to pay their
Just share of the taxes; enacted a terminal
tax law. which compels railroads owning
valuable terminal facilities to pay a tax;
enacted a direct primary law; removed
the 15,000 limit for damages for personal
injuries; enacted a child labor law; passed
an anti-pass law, and did other things the
people had been demanding for many
years.
Have Faltk In Farmers.
The theory of the republican leaders Is
that the people, particularly the farmers,
who are now paying less taxes than ever
before, will not go back on the party In
power after the enactment of this whole
some legislation. Moreover, Governor Shel
don is to be renominated at the state
wide primary in September, and will run
for re-election on his reform record. The
point is made by the republicans, too, that
the democrats had the state government,
executive and legislative, for two years,
and fulled to enact any reform legislation.
So it is evident, after one has heard bth
shies, that Bryan home state is fighting
ground. The cumpalgn will be warm out
here.
The Bryan Volunteers.
The "liryan Volunteers of Nebraska"
have undertaken to ralso a campaign fund
by popular subscription. In a statement
Just Issued the "Volunteers" say: "Ne
braska shall not be for Bryan is the order
that goes out from republican headquar
ters. The trusts and corporations alll con
tribute largo sums of money to make that
giiod cry. Tney will move heaven and earth
to administer a crushing defeat in his home
state to Mr. Bryan's principles. Over two
thirds of all the newspapers in the state
are against us. They will be aided by the
powerful army of federal and state office-
und well directed fighting machine. Aga nst
tliee distressing and discouraging odds we
have nnftiing to offer except the moral and
financial support which comes through the
volunteer movement."
Tim democrats are harmonious for the
first time since lf9& The so-called gold
democrats, who were organised undr the
name of Jacksonlan club, are working
hand In hand with the Dahlman, or Bryan,
wing of the party. k Under the new state
wide primary law, both parUes will nomi
nate candidates for stats office In Septem
ber. It does not appear that the result of
the primary will have any effect on the
presidential situation.

PLAN TO TAKE HEARST LEAGUE
Bryan Will Attempt to Hare it En
dorse Hit Candidacy.
HUNT FOB A NEW EMBLEM
Berlons Talk of Discarding t
Donkey and Making Tiger
Official Democratic
Beast.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 20.-(8peclal.)-Mr. Bryan
will attempt to capture the Hearst Inde
pendence league convention and either se
cure his own endorsement st the hands of
that convention or prevent a nomination.
Mr. Bryan will be In Chicago July M t
the time of the convention and will attend
to the Job personally.
The above Is talked here and is believed
to be true by those who have been watch
ing events In Lincoln for the last ten days.
Mr. Bryan on his own front porch set the
date of the meeting of the subcommittee of
the national democratic committee for July
28 In Chicago. This subcommittee Is clothed
with authority to select a chairman and
secretary of the national committee. It
has already had Its conference with Mr.
Bryan. The fact that the date of the meet-
ng of the committee Is the date of the con.
ventlon of the Independence league is be
lleved to be more than a mere coincidence
and this belief Is further strengthened by
the fact that Mr. Bryan Is going to attend
the committee meeting. It Is probably a
fact that the entire scheme was hatched
up on the front porch at Falrvlew when
Mr. Bryan met with the national commit
tee several days ago.
In the Hearst convention there will be
many followers of the democratic nominee,
and these will naturally line up to secure
the endorsement of Mr. Bryan. With Bryan
on the ground to personally superintend
the Job It Is expected to make It easier to
gt the endorsement for him.
The supposition that Mr. Bryan expects
to prevent the nomination of Hearst and
secure his own endorsement at the hands
of the Hearst convention Is further
strengthened by the fact that he has re
fused to say anything about the Hearst
statement denouncing both old parties and
Bryan in particular. And further, there
can be no other explanation for the pro
posed trip to Chicago. The subcommittee
of the democratic national committee,
which is to select the officers of the com
mlttee, is composed of men picked by Mr,
Bryan. They are his true friends because
he chose them and consequently they must
know his views on the matter of organize
tlon. All of which Is current talk In
Lincoln.
Hnnt for Nesr Emblem.
"Donkey or the Tiger?"
The present democratic party Is anxious
to stable the donkey and adopt the tiger
as the party emblem.
The leaders of the party have two rea
sons for this: First, the tiger sounds like
tight; second, the long suffering, patient
donkey which carried William Jennings
Bryan twice to defeat Is considered
hoodoo.
"How can we expect to win with
Jackass for a party emblem," said Hon
Frank Battley of Minnesota, who called on
Mr. Bryan while on his way home from the
Denver convention. "We Intend to adopt
the tiger as the party emblem and discard
the donkey. The donkey has outlived iti
usefulness a long time ago and the leaders
of the party believe it will inject more
ginger into the rank and file of the party
were the leaders to adopt the tiger as the
party emblem."
From 'ellable sources It Is learned that
at the psychological moment in all parts
of the country there will suddenly sprint;
up campaign literature with the tiger for
the party emblem. The question has been
seriously talked over by prominent mem
bers of the new democratic party and the
donkey must go.
The two factions of the party have agreed
on this though each reached Its conclu
slon by a different course of reasoning
The Bryanlte democrats desire to discard
every bit of the paraphernalia of the Cleve
land democracy, and as tho donkey twice
carried Cleveland to victory and twice
carried Bryan to defeat, this faction has
decided the animal must be stabled. On
the other hand the Cleveland democracy
has decided that it Is not short of cruelty
to ask the donkey to again carry the load
which has twice been strapped upon it
during the last twelve years. Thus the two
factions agree.
The Bryan democrats believe It will
tickle the vanity of Tammany should it
adopt the tiger, and this has been a strong
argument in favor of the gumshoe beast
Just how to bring about the change with
out it appearing as a cut and dried affal
nas occasioned considerable worry, but It
la a part of the program of this camDalsm.
The question of stabling the donkey has
been a serious one for the party leaders
because there are many democrats who
have learned to revere the patient pack
horse and he Is the last connection between
the Bryan democracy and the regular dem
ocratlc party. The new leaders fear th
love for the donkey by the old line demo
crats will be too great for them to care
for the tiger. But Mr. Bryan is running

CLOSING DAY AT KRUG PARK
Popular Resort Closes Its (intra After
Eight Years Mlnled Snrress
and Adversity.
After eight years of mingled success and
adversity Krug park, Omaha's polite resort.
losed Its gates Sunday, night probably for
the last time. When announcement was
made that the park would close, following
Judge Kennedy's decisions annulling the
liquor license of the park, many of the
patrons of the perk could hardly believe
that after eight years of Improvements
which had placed the resort on a plane
with anything similar In the country th
promoters really Intended to Hose shop,
but a visit to the park Sunday night, when
the InltJal process of dismantling began,
convinced the unbeliever that such was the
case and Krug park, with Its acres of
beautiful flower beds and horticultural dis
play, its many amusement concessions and
restaurant was a bit nf past history.
Sunday had been announced by the man
agement as an employes' benefit day, It
having been the Intention of dividing
among the 32 employes all proceeds over
and above expenses, but owing to the
threatening weather the attendance fell far
below expectations and but a meager pit -
ance was derived by each, of this small
irmy of help who will be thrown out of
employment.
A farewell reception was held by Man
ager Cole In his office, which took on the
coloring of a wake, hundreds of regular
patrons of the park visiting his office and
offering condolences and sympathy.
At the Japanese rolling alley, the orients!
owners held an auction of the novel and
fancy Japanese ware. Tea sets, vases and
useful small articles were sold for a song.
The circle swing received telegraphic ordevs
from headquarters to dismantle, as did the
roller coaster. The national pleasure wheel
which opened for the first time Sunday,
Is the property of South Oinaha parties
and will also be shipped elsewhere.
In speaking rf the closing, Manager W.
W. Colo said: "It Is a great disappoint
ment to me to be obliged to close the
gatts after eight years of hard work, the
meanest kind of work, during which ilm
I have succeeded In giving the puhlte of
Omaha an amusement resort unexcelled by
any in tho country and devoid of the rob
bing, scheming 'midway' features of many
summer resorts. We employ nearly 260
people, all of whom will be out of em
ployment, and expend about the business
houses of Omaha lluO.OTO annually.
"With but few special officers we have
handled crowds here without any trouble
and frequently on large days I have or
dered the gatea closed to avoid a conges
tion of people on the grounds, when the
management of many other resorts would
exclaim, 'They can't com fast enough.'
Approximately we are losers during eight
years about $100,000."
Daring the past week a committee from
the national Saengerfest visited Krug park
and examined the facilities of the place,
as the result of an agitation for the hold
ing of the Saengerfest In Omaha in 1909. A
meeting of that kind means from seven to
ten thousand visitors to the city. The com
mittee was enthusiastic about Krug park
and Omaha, but as the vote for next year's
convention will be held this week the
Saengerfest will probably be lost to Omaha.
Captain James Moore, who was booked
for a two weeks' engagement, will be
obliged to cast off his ballast sacks and
sail for other parts without the public of
Omaha being given an opportunity of see
ing his interesting device, unless he can be
secured by the Ak-Ssr-Ben management
for the fall festivities. i

Swollen glands about the neck, weak cyc, pale, waxy complexions, running sore
and ulcers, skin diseases, anil general poor health, are the imul ways in which SrofuU
is manifested. The disease bcinjj deeply intrenched in the blood often attacks the
bones, resulting in Wliitc Swelling, or hip disease, and the scrofulous and tubercular
matter so thoroughly destroys the healthful properties' of the blood that ScrofuU
sometimes terminates in consumption, an incurable disease. The entire circulation
being contaminated, the only way to cure the trouble is to thoroughly purify the blood
and restore the circulation to a strong, healthy state. S. S. S. is the very best treatment
for Scrofula; it renovates the entire blood supplv and drives out the scrofulous and
tubercular deposits. S. S. S. is the greatest of all filood purifier, and it not only goes
right down to the very lottoin of the trouble nnd removes the cause, but it supplies
the weak, diseased blood with the healthful properties it is in need of, nnd in this way
builds up weak, frail scrofulous persons and mikes them strong and healthy. S. S. S.
is a gentle, safe, vegetable preparation. Book on the blood containing information
about Scrofula and any medical advice free.
