candidate informed the governor that Mr.
Bryan contemplated making the race for
United Statea senator. In the event that
he decided to make the fight, he desired
to know, if Governor Shallenberger would
permit Mr. Bryan to write the platform.
"I will not,?' was the answer the gover
nor Is said to have made the emmlssary.
"I carried this atate last fall and I ran
ahead Of Mr. Bryan, therefore I believe I
should be entitled to have something to
say about the platform."
All of which comes from a source abso
lutely -reliable.
Mr. Charles Bryan Is quoted as having
aid to the governor that W. J. Bryan
desired very much to make the race for
senator on a democratic platform provid

option has to do with a United States sen

phatic for a platform standing by the llq
W.or laws enacted by the recent legislature
' and going no further.
Ho the conference ended with the gover
nor saying he would run for renomlnatlon
on his own platform and Mr. Bryan could
make his own platform when he announced
for senator.
Itt the meantime, however, until that in
terview there is no question but what the
governor had the senatorial bee In his
, bonn-t, and since then the governor has
I been Intimating very strongly that he
would like a renomlnatlon.

Good is Working
All the Strings
Members of Eoyal Highlanders Object
to Dragging the Order Into
Politics.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, I Oct. 26. (Special.) Judge
Good, the democratic candidate for supreme
Judge, who is trying to pull off the Shal
lenberger stunt of getting the support of
both the "drys" and . "wets." has Just
about overreached himself In securing an
Indorsement In the official publication of
the Rjyal, Highlanders., , ... . ,
When the publlcat'ontwaa received by the
members of that organization In Lincoln
the action of Its publishers la dabbling In
politics was severely condemned. Some of
the b.'Bt members of the Royal 'Highland
ers are very friendly to the -candidacy of
others on the Judicial ticket and to be
counted as endorsing Judge Good, when no
official action had been taken by any
lodge, has started them on "the warpath.
The result may be a severe condemnation
of the officers of the lodge who are held
responsible for the endorsement of the
Wahoo candidate.
It was told In Lincoln this morning that
Judge Good attempted to work the officers
of another lodge, the Woodmen of the
World, but he failed, being Informed that
the lodge was simply a fraternal organi
zation with no particular ax to grin In
politics.
The publication of the fact that Judge
Good was securing endorsements this year
from the prohibitionists and two years ago
he was endorsed by the liberal element In
politics, is believed to mean a greatly de
creased vote for him. Leaders of both the
temperance forces and the liberal element
know that a candidate cannot stand both
for temperance and against temperance, so
many people believe Judge Good will not
come out as well with his straddle as did
Governor Shallenberger.

Announcing
Extraordinary
Shoe Reductions
A few words of
explanation
For over a year we have had in mind a lino
of shoes that we could sell at $2.50, $3.50 and
$4.50 and guarantee an actual saving to bur cus-.
tomera of 50c to $1.50 per pair at the same time
we were not unmindful of our customers varied
requirements.. This line must embrace every
popular and durable leather; every possible
style and last and above all possess every attri
bute of high class shoe making.
During the past year we, and several high
class shoe manufacturers, have been formulating
plans to that e'nd we worked cautiously, but
well, and now we are able to announce that our
plans have borne fruit and that in the future our
shoe business will be confined to the prices
mentioned above for Men's shoes with on
exception Burt & Packard's Guaranteed Patent Leathers at $4.00.
Similar arrangements relating to Boys' shoes have been made and
prices for such footwear will be limited to $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50, with
an equally attractive guarantee as to savings.
With this future policy in view we have decided to make very rad
ical reductions in our present prices in order to bring our stock down to
the uniformity herein set forth, and will beginning Wednesday morn
ing, Oct. 27th offer the unrestricted choice of our $5.00, $5.50, $6.00
and $6.50 high grade Fall Shoes at the low price of
$4.50
We invite men well posted on shoe values to take advantage of
these bona fide reductions you may need m&re than one pair you are
welcome to them look in window No. 4. Other reductions to be an
nounced later.

and Judging of apples," and "the farmer's
lawn." O. Hull, of Alma, a veteran farmer,
talked on .''economic pork production,"
"why boys leave the farm' and "rotation
of crops. ' i
The Saturday session was given over to
stock and corn growing. Prof. C W.
Pubs ley, of the department of agriculture
at the State farm, gave two talks upon
these subjects and concluded corn and
stock Judging contests. These contests
proved the most exciting part of the pro
gram, a number of farmers and fifty
students tak:ig part. The winners-of
prizes were aa follows:
Girls' corn Judging contest: Miss Pansy
Baughn, first; Miss Levern Arnold, sec
ond. Girls' stock judging contest: Jennii R.
Thompson, first; Lota Baer, second.
Boys' corn Judging content: Frank
Ledger, first; W. R. Whitfield, second.
Boys' stock Judging contest: John Sma
thers, first; F. W. Ledger, second.
The Normal Agricultural society, and
especially its advisor, Mr. Weeks, co-operated
with the fanners in making the
institute the success that It proved to be.
The boys' Glee club and the Normal band
aided with music.
The Inspiration that the people received
from Mr. Hull, Mr. Marshall and Prof.
Pugsley resulted In a more perfect organ
ization of the farmers of this community,
who now plan to continue the organiza
tion throughout the year, by meeting
once each month, these meetings to be
held in a different country school house
until all of the territory has been cov
ered twice. This Insures a strong and
beneficial organization of farmers as well
as an even more successful Institute meet
ing next year. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: president,
L. W. Redfern; vice president, Frank
Majors; secretary-treasurer, J. D. Graves.
