XEHRASKAS INTEREST
The triumphant election of William
If. Taft 18 practically assured, with or
without the electoral vote of Nebraska.
In other words, Mr. Taft does not
need Nebraska half ns much as Ne
braska needs Mr. Taft.
Mr. Taft has comparatively little to
Btiln by having Nebraska's electoral
vote recorded for him, but Nebraska
has every Interest atBtake In keeping
In the republican column.
Nebraska has been steadfastly re
publican since 1900, when It declined
to follow Bryan In his second battle,
and brought Itself In accord with the
party In power In national affairs.
Giving up a good seat In the front
row now In order to take a place on
the mourner's bench in the rear would
hardly be a pood exchange.
Nebraska wants to keep on the po
litical map. It wants to be accorded
suitable recognition in the councils of
the nation. It baa untold resources,
for whose development outside assist
ance Is necessary, but. which will be
much more difficult to get if this state
is a political backslider.
On the other hand, if Nebraska stays
in the republican column where it be
longs It will be entitled to proportion
ate recognition with the other de
pendable states that stand firm for
progress and prosperity and refuses
to be beguiled by false prophets even
under the plea of state pride.
If the people of Nebraska consult
their own Interest they will vote at the
coming election for Taft and republican
success.

confessing democratic vefea t.
Mr. Bryan has paved the way for his
regular quadrenuial explanation by de
claring in advance that the republicans
are preparing to buy the democratic
voters of the country. National Chair
man Mack has also fixed up his ex
planation. He declares that Hearst
has ordered his supporters to vote di
rect for Mr. Taft in order to beat
Bryan. While it is certain that
neither of these assertions is true, the
fact that Bryan and Mack have made
them carries a confession of democratic
defeat at the polls on Tuesday.
Even the men who followed Bryan
to his two previous defeats will be dis
couraged when they find him and his
campaign manager preparing for an
other smashup. Discouragement seems
to have conquered both of them and
they are preparing to accept their de
feat as philosophically as possible.
It is doubtless true that most of the
minor parties arc drawing support
from Bryan. Debs, Hearst, Wataon
and Hisgen, former supporters of
Bryan, are now fighting bitterly against
him. Two out of three votes cast for
these candidates will doubtless come
from Bryan and make his chances
hopeless, yet none of these candidates
is advocating or countenancing the
support of Taft. They all realize that
with the third defeat of Bryan a reor
ganization of the democratic party will
be inevitable and each candidate is
anxious to secure as large a vote as
possible in order to have an Influence
when the reorganization comes. That,
by the way, is the secret of the ap-
mrent support of Bryan by many of the
old school democrats. They know his
chances are hopeless and they are re
establishing their party "regularity"
in order to have a voice in the coyiuclls
of democracy when it secures tts di
vorce from Bryanism.
money. In all legislation on the cur-loll enn not be killed ny whitewash
rency question, the republican party
has stood for souad money and the
preservation of th national credit.
The democratic party has favored free
silver, the abolition of the national
bank and every financial heresy that
has originated In the brains of political
theorists.
The republican party has always
stood for the principles of the protec
tive tariff. The democratic party has
ever stood for Xree trade, or "tariff for
revenue only," or some such thin dis
guise for free trade. The democratic
party has been in full power at Wash
ington once since the civil war, and
the greatest panic -in the world's his
tory followed its tinkering with the
tariff question.
When tho non-partisan war be
tween the United States and Spain was
fought to a victorious conclusion, un
der a republican administration, the
republican party adopted a plan of pro
tection and education for Cuba and
the Philippines to the end that they
might be prepared for promised self-
government. The democratic party
has persistently demanded that the
half-civilized Filipinos be declared in
dependent and cut adrift to become
the victims of the loot of other nations
seeking domination of the Pacific.
The republican party, step by step,
in spite of the burden of the war debt,
has carried this nation to a position
of the greatest wealth and power
among the nations of the world. It
has developed- American trade and
made the consumers of the world pay
tribute to the American manufacturer,
farmer and .workingman. The freedom
of Cuba, the rescue of the Philippines,
the Panama canal, the regulation of
railway rates, the correction of trust
abuses and the decade of splendid
progress and prosperity with the high
est wages ever paid to labor are the
most recent acnievements or the re
publican party, against which must be
set down a democratic record of fail
ure while in power and defeat on freak
issues in the last three national cam
paigns.
The republican party is in position
to continue the progressive legislation
and the splendid policies of the last
twelve years. The democratic party,
if successful at the polls next Tuesday,
could accomplish nothing for the next
four years. If the first voter decides
to vote the democratic ticket he will
vote to stand still and do nothing. If
he decides to vote the republican ticket
he will vote to be a factor In national
activities and acfiievements.
n Pennsylvania he is being supported
by Colonel Guffey, the recognized
leader of the Standard Oil. On his
executive committee Is Lamb of In
diana, a recognized representative of
the Standard Oil. Mr. Bryan, who is
usually as cautions as an elephant
crossing a bridge, ran not plead Ig
norance of the character and affilia
tions of his Standard Oil associates.
He has heretofore denounced most of
them for their connection with that
trust.
All of the trust managers are con
vinced that even if Bryan's anti-trust
measures were not worthless, which
they undoubtedly are, he is so thor
oughly surrounded with Standard Oil
advisers to whom he has put himself
under deep obligations that no trust
officer would be In fear of going to
ail and ho combination in restraint
of trade wouldy be dissolved. The
trusts know that with a republican
president and congress pledged to con
tinue the Roosevelt policies they will
get more anti-monopoly legislation
and continued prosecution when they
violate the laws. They know that with
Bryan as president there would be
practically no legislation and that they
could therefore bring everything to a
standstill for four years.
moral awakening which the president
has wrought. His eleatlon would
mean that the country would go for
ward with the Boosevelt policies to
their fullest development In the great
est benefit to the country. Bryan's
election would mean a halt and four
years of stagnation.
THE MAN WITH A PAST.
The democratic candidate for presi
dent is a man with a past more than
that the democratic candidate for pres
ident is a man with a past that con
stantly rises to haunt' him. He is a
man with a past that, try as he may,
he cannot shake off. He Is a man with
a past that makes it altogether too
hazardous a risk for the people of this
country to put him In a position where
they would have to take chances on
his future.
The democratic candidate for presi
dent has a past which fills several
chapters.
When In congress he distinguished
himself as an outspoken advocate of
free trade, a champion of free list
tariff bills that helped drive the coun
try into panic and bankruptcy,
In his first presidential campaign he
entered the lists for. 16 to 1 free
coinage of silver, and insisted that a
continuance of the gold standard
would mean that dire industrial ruin
within a very short period would over

BftrU.V AND THE COLORED VOTE.
The Bryan forecasters who deign to
go into details in indicating the sources
of the expected strength for the Ne
braska leader are calculating on a
greater or less negro defection from
Taft to Bryan in Ohio, Indiana and
other close states. This is an extreme
presumption on the ignorance of the
negro vote.
Mr. Bryan has chosen to make his
campaign on the issue, "Shall the peo
ple rule?" Mr. Bryan has not the
ghost of a chance of election without
the vote of the south, and there should
be no colored man In the north who
does not know that the south is solidly
democratic solely by reason of its de
nying 8,000,000 of its people any voice)
or vote in ruling or in the selection of
rulers. The criterion by which one
third of the population of the south
Is excluded from any share in the gov
ernment is the color of their skins
and Mr. Bryan has publicly approved
the plans of southern democrats for
disfranchising them. If there are any
northern negroes ignorant of these
facts they are more ignorant than we
believe them to be. Mr. Bryan's pre
sumption on a race stupidity will not
be believed until it is demonstrated.

A WORD TO FIRST VotERS.
It is estimated that there are fully
500,000 citizens in the United States
who, on November 3, will come into
the enjoyment of full citizenship and
cast their first vote. More than one
half of these are native born and the
others are adooted citizens, and it is
of great importance to these new-
fledged citizens how they ally them
selves politically. vThe native born.

A SUBJECT FOR AMERICAN WORKMEN.
The American workman is more
dteply concerned in the tariff question
than in any other issue before the
American people. Under republican
rule the American industries have de
veloped until our exports of manufac
tured goods have doubled and doubled
again in twelve years. UnUer that
rule the wages of the American work
men are the highest paid to workmen
in' the world. These wage earners
must consider what the effect of a re
vision of the tariff would be.
Both the republican and democratic
parties are pledged to a revision of the
tariff. The republicans propose to
make the changes needed along protec
tive lines. They will fix the schedules
so that the wages of American work
men will not be lowered by competi
tion with foreign wages. The revision
by the republican plan will benefit the
workman, the manufacturer and the
consumer.
The Bryan plan proposes a revision
of the tariff on free trade lines. Its
only object would be revenue, with
all protective features eliminated. Un
der free trade, ns proposed by Bryan,
foreign-made goods would pour into
this country without any protective re
straint. The workman who votes for
democratic tariff revision votes to re
duce his wages and his opportunity for
employment.
Mr. Bryan does not like President
Roosevelt's letter on the labor ques
tion. There is a suspicion that the
letter was not written for the purpose
of pleasing Mr. Bryan.

tho fatal error of confusing the democ
racy of those men with the so-called
democracy of Bryanism. The old
democratic party stood for representa
tive government, for sound currency
and the rule of the majority. The
democracy of Bryan has stood for
everything to which the old democracy
was opposed.
The history of the two parties since
1860 should be kept in the minds of
publican candidate. It was President
Roosevelt's firm refusal to compromise
with the criminal Standard Oil monop
oly that led Senator Foraker to bit
terly and persistently oppose all ad
ministration policies in the last con
gress. It was on the order of Stand
ard Oil that Foraker started the fac
tional fight in Ohio in the hope of de
feating Mr. Taft.
It was on Standard Oil orders that
first voters. The republican party in Haskell of Oklahoma was made chalr-
lls infancy stood for the preservation
of the union and the abolition of
slavery. While there were loyal demo
crats in the north, the majority of the
party favored slavery. Its platform in
1860 denounced the action of the
northern Btates hi passing measures
to nullify the fugitive slave law and
its platform of 1864 declared the civil
war for the preservation of the uuiou
to have been a failure.
Following the civil war, the repub-
ruan of the committee on resolutions
at Denver and afterwards selected as
Mr. Bryan's campaign treasurer. He
was selected by Mr. Bryan and was at
Bryan's elbow when the platform was
drawn, and it is difficult to conceive
how Mr. Bryan failed to understand
that Haskell had a beaten path to the
side door of the Standard OH com
pany. In Illinois Bryan has made
terms with Roger Sullivan, the Stand
ard Oil manager there. In New York
! ( THE REPUBLICAN RECORD.
Democratic spellbinders who have
been following Mr. Bryan's lead and
blundering through the campaign mak
ing all sorts of unsupported charges
have closed their wind-jamming with
the assertion that the republican ad
ministration of President Roosevelt
has been a do-nothing administration.
If that were true the Standard OH and
other trusts that have' felt the effects
of the Roosevelt . policies and the
Roosevelt laws would not today be
making every effort to secure the elec
tion of Mr. Bryan in the hope of hav
ing a four years' respite.
In the first instance, President
Roosevelt has done more than any man
In accomplishing the far-reaching
moral awakening of the American peo
ple. His administration would have
a prominent place in national History
If he had done no more. But his ad
ministration has kindled the fires of
civic reform and patriotism and has
forced practical changes for the better.
Unlawful monopolies have been
prosecuted as never before, as the
Standard Oil trust and the rebating
railroads will testify. The railroad
rate bill has been most effective in
checking and controlling the opera
tions of the common carriers. Irriga
tion, forest preservation and the con
servation of the national resources
have become fixed public policies. Tho
Panama canal has been decided upon
and most of the work of construction
completed. An emergency currency
measure has been enacted. Prepara
tions have been made for a revision of
the tariff and a general reform of the
currency and revenue laws. Tho ad
ministration has ptiied laws to pro
tect wage earners hi different occupa
tions. Great progress hu beeu made
in bringing about better relations be
tween capital and labor and in main
taining peace in traffic and production
alike. The vital principle of the
square deal has been made the aim
and creed of government and politics
in the United States.
The republican program includss
the wise continuance of the policies
which have niado the administration
of President Roosevelt a striking suc
cess. The country's need is the natu
ral growth and perfecting of the pres
ent administration's work; No other

The world was young In those day. of ours
The world was so young and new.
All huilded of birds and of sweet spring
flowers.
And Tomorrow fresh wonders jrrew;
But the world rolled back and Love reigned
Instead
And smote on a magic lyre
For Someone sat In the seat ahead
When we sang in the old cliunii choir.
Someone with eyes of the brownest brown,
And Ills thut were woudrous rar.;
Dark waves of glory that tumbled down
from the crimson "tarn" set there
At a rakish slant. Oh, that pure delight!
Life! grunt me but one desire
To see anil feel as I felt that night
When we sang in the old church choir!
