Between li.000 and 15.000 voters In the I
city of Omaha have not registered. This
la tht way Frank Dewey, deputy county
clerk, and Harry Prlmeau, one of the as
sistants In the r'.iy clerk's office, figure It,
taking aa their basis the number at votes
oast In other elections. Saturday la the
lust day of registration and If all are regis
tered nearly aa many must register on thla
last day as registered on both the pre
ceding days. To be able to vole on
November 3. a voter must reglater.
In I'M) over .000 votes were cast In
Iougius county, the preponderance natur
ally having been cast In this city. The
lOO election waa not a presidential elec
tion, therefore It Is figured that not near
all tha legal voters cast their ballots at
that time. In addition to thla, the popula
tion has Increased and a number of young
men have become of legal age. In the
city election In the spring of 1906. 1S.0OO
votea were cast for mayor. Lesa than
lo.ono voters have registered.
The registration bootbs, fifty-four In
number, will open at ( o'clock Saturday
morning and remain open until In the
tvening. Three Judges and clerka .will be
jn hand at very booth. To help out In
congested precincts, tha republican and
, democratic committees will provide extra
I men to keep up the two extra books and
the list which the law requires to be pro
vided and posted In the windows of the
polling places. Five books have to be kept
and when three men have to do all of It
they fall behind In the work.
The regularly appointed registration
Judges and clerks will attend to the regis
tering of the voters, the city legil depart
ment stating that It will be perfectly law
ful for others to do the eatra work.
While the judges cannot be compelled to
keep the polling places open after O'clock.
they can register all who are In the room
at that hour. Thla waa refused by judges
In some of the placea the last time, who
believed that It would not be legal to reg
later a voter after t o'clock.
"Not only should a man reglater so aa
to exercise hla right of ctllsenshtp and
vote," aald Deputy Clerk Dewey, "but he
should reglater ao aa to ahow the city's
population. Any number of men from the
east figure the population of a city by
the number of votea cast. Purchasers of
bonds ask me the population of Omaha. I
say 150.009. Then they ask how many votes
w cast at the laat election. I tell them
,. Then they multiply thla by five and
find that we have but 100,000 people."
A, republican rally has been arranged for
Saturday night at Washington hall fur the
inlored voters of Omaha and their friends.
W. Allison Bweeney, the noted colored
oratur and editor of the Freeman of In
dianapolis, will be the principal spesker.
The women are especially Invited to be
present. A. W. Jofferla and other candi
dates will also address the meeting.
OMAHA. Oct. 12. To the Editor of The
lite: I notice that you have had much to
say In your political columns about Frank
Hansom and Ed Howell, democratic candl
tlutes for tho state set ate. You have re-

peatedly exp-wd their recoids in the legis
lature, showing that they engineered for
th rallre-ads the pessge cf a measure
which prevented tsxation of railroad ter
minals and then you nmkc implied critic
Ism of the World-Herald and democratic
leaders for defending such men and having
them upon the democratic legislative ticket.
I agree with your criticism of these men
and their political records, but I take ex
ception to your Implied criticism of the
party organ and some of ths party leaders,
upon whom you seek to fix the responsi
bility tor these men's nominations. 1 re
sent the Imputation, and In answer defy
you to point to a single utterance of the
World-Herald of either Rrom or Howell
or In appeal for votea for them. The fact
Is that the World-Herald la not defending
these mrn and Mr. Hitchcock la not stulti
fying himself by asking a single democrat
to vote for them. He has no more use for
them politically than you have, and ha
knows it would be political suicide for Mm
to offer a defense of their records In the
legislature or make an appeal for votea
for them And, as for tl.e rarJc and file
of democrats In Douglas county, I want
to assure you, sir, that they do not be
lieve In these men and will not support
them. I challenge your attention to tho
election returna for my vindication.
A BRYAN-HITCHCOCK DEMOCRAT.
This letter, anonymous except for the
algnature which appears above, has been
received by The Bee. It confirms a rumor
that has been current for aome time to
the effect that Mr. Hltchccck had silently
refused to embarrass his own candidacy
by going to tha aid of Howell and Ran
som, the two railroad senatora of 1897, who
alapped Omaha and other cities In the face
with the anti-terminal taxation law. There
are many democrats who talk just as this
man writea, but those who are candid about
the situation, admit that the necessity
of a party organ to refrain from advocating
the election of certain leading candidates
of Its party menaces tha general result of
the election for the democrats. And yet,
they ask, why should Mr. Hitchcock hatard
his own chances of success by treading on
such dangerous ground aa trying te defend
two such notorious corporation politicians?
Througn an "oversight. as explained
by Joe Butler, the Jlmocrats have not
only offended the Jackaonlans, but have
allerutted the affections and support of
the old Una democrats, the war horses of
the past.
This was done In the appointment of
members of the reception committee when
Mt. Bryan spoke in Omaha laat Saturday.
Young democrats, mostly all Jima, were
appointed on the committee to the ex
clusion of the Jacks, with the i exception
of one man, and also to the exclusion of
the fathers of the local democracy.
In consequence cf .this "oversight" there
Is trouble In the democratic headquarters
and Tom Flynn, chairman, is sending out
hla cohorts In all direction to try to patch
up the differences and explain away the
discontent.
Three hundred and ninety-three names
were placed on the reception committee,
but In the long list the Jlmocrats did not
find room for the names of Judge Doane,
John F. Coad. Euclid Martin, Ed P. Smith,
John Powera, Harry P. Deuel, Ed P.
Bergman and others prominent in tho
councils of the party In the daya before
Mayor Jim arose on the democratic
horison.
The slight Is felt by tha men who have
tried to keep the party in the straight and
narrow path, and they aro not slow in de
nouncing the men who are temporarily in
power in the party.
Tha aop thrown to the Jacka by the
Jima in the appointment of Conatantlne J.
Smyth on the committee had no concilia
tory effect, for the reason that Conatan
tlne J. ta out of the city, haa been since
October 7 and will be until November 1.
The Jlmocrats knew that Mr. Smyth was
not in town when they put his name on
the list.
C. It. Waldron of Omaha, who haa been
out In the state organizing ' republican
clubs, has thla to say of the situation:
"A trip through a considerable portion
of the state has fully convinced me that
the predicted landslide In Nebraska for
Bryan la but an assertion, unfounded, un
supported. A good republican majority Is
Inevitable. The state Is too well-to-do, the
farmers enjoying too great a measure of
prosperity, the laboring men are making
too good wagea to trust their fortunes to
a new and untried democratic administra
tion. "So marked has been this feeling of con
tentment that until the last meek or two
the business of politics has concerned tht
people but little. Political apathy haa pre
vailed, but l ow as election draws near
they are awakening. Republicans every
where are laboring or organizing.
"Even democrats predict the re-election
of Governor Sheldon. His sterling char
acter and many promises fulfilled by deeds
done have won for him a place In the
hearts of Nebraskana, regardless of poli
tics, which no partlcan admonitions can
supplant."

"He has no chance whatever in Michi

humanly speaking, absolutely certain. The
only vote In the state which la uncertain
la that of aome unemployed, and of these
aome have already voted the democratic
ticket and others will vote for Taft in the
conviction that with the Ohloan'a election
they will be much more likely to get work."
The announcement here by Mr. Hutchlna
comes on the heels of a similar declaration
In Chicago by Prank If. Jonea, a leading
banker there, and llko tha Michigan man,
a former democrat.
'I waa in Denver when Bryaa came In
there recently." said A. W. Hunt, a Chl
cago traveling man, In the lobby of the
Pazton. "There were not i.000 people at
the station to meet him, although the hour
of his arrival had been well adverttaed.
A faithful few accompanied him to the
Oaford hotel and there he stood aome time
In the lobby. There were not more than
fifty men around him. Three different
times soma one cried "Hurrah for Bryan,"
and aa often there waa no response. It
waa an absolute frost and almost pathetic
In Ita way."

country that the things which W. J.
Bryan has espoused have not been put into
effect, for dlsanter would have been aure
to follow. The calamities from which the
country has been saved by 'letting the
people rule' and voting down Mr. Bryan
are free trade, free silver nnd Imperial
ism and government ownership of railroad".
"The republican party legislatea for all
classes and It is an Improper argument for
Mr. Bryan to try to array one class
against another In this country.
"Mr. Bryan's mind runs along theoretical
lines which. If put In practice, would bring
calamity upon the people."
Mr. Baldrige spoke In behalf of the legis
lative ticket and for Mr. Jeffuris. showing
that under republican administration the
public utility corpc rations were now pay
ing one-fifth of the tax of the city whereas
In 1W0 they paid but one-fourteenth of
.the tax. ,
Stay with l-arty that Is Right.
"Stay with the party which is right and
does the most good for the country and
do not be led astray by false arguments,"
said John L. Kennedy, former congress
man from this district. "The democratic
party has abandoned policy after policy j
until today it does not know where It
stands."
In speaking of tne subject of home rule
Mr. Kennedy, who Is a member of the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners,
.-.aid that he waa In favor of home rule
and of electing the members of the board
1 iy the vote of the people ai their re
sponsibility would be direct and so the
people could settle with them for their
acts. He said he waa perfectly willing to
be legislated out of office by an amend
ment to the charter to that effect.
Cm the question of bank guaranty Mr.
Kennedy said the people of the prosperous
west were not willing to have their banks
coupled up with the giant Institutions of
Wall street engaged In promotion and
speculation. He said that It the banks
had to stand together In gunranteelng
losses they would sIho get together In
sh axing profits and would fix the ratea for
depositors and borrowers and would have
combination Instead of competition.
"A. W. Jefferls should be elected so l
would not be necessary for Omaha to go
to a resident of Kearney or Iincoln to
get what it Is entitled to," added Mr.
Kennedy. "Thla la too important a dis
trict not to be represented and have some
thing to say concerning legislation effect
ing the western coupry."

"Dn't underestimate the value of your
suffrage," said W. Allison Sweeney, editor
of the Indianapolis Freeman, in addressing

Thursday night. "You don't realise the
value of your vote to the man who ta ask

"The republican party Is all right. It has
been right since the time of John Brown
and Lincoln. The thinga that fitted n
twenty-five years ago don't fit in now. Men
die. great leaders may go astray and turn
back the Issues that hava made them, but
tho principles of the party live forever. I
am going to vote the republican ticket and
help to elect W. H. Taft .of Ohio, because
of tha difference between the two parties.
Wo are an Integral factor in thla common

"The history of tha country aa it is
recorded tells us that one party haa always
been against us and the other has alwaya

can party. It Is enough for us to look back
at the record and see who has alwaya bctu
our friend. Through the dark days of our
race we have always had our friends, but
they have always been In the republican
party. Legislation of every kind in every
state for our benefit haa been assailed by
the voice of the democratic party. Every
gate that haa been closed against us has
been closed by the democratic party.

acting through the republican party, had

you a chance to men?"
! looks noon ix the soi th platte
Olrott I'ayne I'leaaed with What He
8 aw on Trip.
"The South Tlatte country looks fine for
Taft," said Olcolt Payne, repreaentatlve of
the national headquarters of the National
Ltague of Republican Cluba, who returned
to Omaha Thursday night from a trip
through the state. "The republicans of
j York county are working hard and appesr
to have a better organisation than any
other county In the state. The farmers In
! that section, who cast the bulk of the vote,
feel that conditions have been too prosper
ous to Justify them in taking any chances
by exper. meriting with Mr. Bryan's theories.
The campaign is a quiet one throughout tin
farming community, but the farmers realize
that to have these times continue it is nec
essary to have the eastern factories and
large Industrial centers prosperous, and
that Bryan's election must necessarily set
bark the reviving wave of Industrial ac
tivity that Is now succeeding the former
panic conditions.
"It Is realized that If Mr. Bryan is
elected all the large ndustrial enter
prises, as well as new building and
construction work, will, except for sup.
plying the needs in a hand-to-mouth way,
wait until they see what Mr. Bryan will do
toward reducing the tariff, with the mone
tary system and other measures which he
advocates affecting our Industrial and com.
merelal affairs.
"It Is drifting to the farmers of Nebraska
that one of the arguments given out by the
democrats in the cast Is that the price of
pork and beef is too high and that und r
a democratic administration foodstuffs of
all kinds will be cheaper. If this argument
is given out as a reason why orle should
vote the democratic ticket in New York
City, it is a very strong reason why a
farmer should not vote the democratic
tlckel.
"There Is a strung disposition among the
rural communities to watcli the working of
the Oklahoma bank law for a year or two
and to let that state do the experimentlnd
and perfecting of that theory before risking
it here. They say their banks came through
the panic of last year without a failure
and there seems to be no reason to rush
this question. If it works out well and U
found to be of advantage It will be easy
to obtain the legislation from the stato
legislature. The farmer today ia getting
more conservative and ia willing to let
aomeone else experiment with such Impor
tant matters of banking, and, furthermore,
there is a growing feeling that it would
he wiser if any guaranty should be adapted
that the hanks of Nebraska alone should
be Included and not have to take chances
j on being affected by the failure of soma of
the enormous Wall street Instltutlona."
