Nebraska Senator Tells Where He
Standi on Political Questions.
COJS)ENCE IN THE PRESIDENT
rnanas the Press of the State and
Assnres the Pnhlle that He W1H
Work for Interests of
People.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. . (Special.) Senator
Burketf today gave out the follow state
ment:
"I cannot find words adequate to express
y thanks to the people for the magnificent
ote they have given me as the republican
nominee for United States senator. Their
confidence shall never be betrayed nor
trifled with, and if elected, they shall have
the very best and most conscientious serv
ice that I can give them.
"The reports would Indicate that I have
carried practically every county In the state
by very large majorities and I accept the
result aa an endorsement by the people
of the progressive policies that I have al
vocated and stood fof during . the dosen
years that I have been In public life. Espe
b I dally do I thank the republican press for
Its enthusiastic and almost universal sup
port. "I have never had any other anVbltion
than to win and merit the confidence ami
esteem of the people of Nebraska and have
no other attachments than their Intercuts,
and have never appreciated so highly an
expression of the people's confidence as ut
this time. I have regretted the false and
malicious attacks that have been made
upon me by those who apparently did not
seek either to learn or to convey the truth.
While .1 owe nothing to such critics,
nevertheless there might be some who
would accept their statements as true and
therefore 1 want to state that 1 stand
squarely and unequivocally and everlast
' Ingly for the aggressive and progressive
f policies of the republican party as cham-
ploned by Theodore Roosevelt and his
chosen successor, President Taft. for
progressive republicanism I have always
battled in the past and for it I shall battle
In the future.
Loyal to Taft.
"During all the time that I have been In
public, life X have voted consistently for
such policies and never once faltered In
my aupi&t of Theodore Roosevelt in his
program of reform legislation. 1 have con
fidence in President Taft as the worthy
successor of Theodore Roosevelt and to that
v end I shall give him my loyal support in
I the future as I have in the past
"The last session of congress enacted
more progressive and even revolutionary in
dustrial and commercial legislation than
any session before It, Including ralroad
regulation, trust regulation, a postal sav
ings bank law and others, and to It all I
' gave my best support
"I have voted consistently with the group
of western senators who are determined to
I keep the republican party as it has been
and as it always must be, the party of the
, people aa against the sordid Interests of
greed and avarice.
"I am thoroughly in favor of the con
servation of the public resources against
the depredation and exploitation of those
who'' would fatten their individual purse
from what belongs to all of us. I have
always voted, against a ship subsidy and
ani still opposed to It.
i "I stand upon the national republican
platform of ltMi and the Nebraska repub
i llcan 'platform of this year and (or the
'.l&itoles as therein enunciated.
Talk oa the .Tariff.
"The tariff bill was the best we could
make at the time, but, nevertheless, I ap-
prove the wisdom of creating a tariff coro
rr!vkn, and worked for it, to make a more
' fYtubstlve and scientific investigation of
t i tiM, Various schedules to the end that abso-
ajiHU-'6 may be done to all sections of
' the country anj to producer and consumers
alike. The party's pledge must be kept
and shall be kept to equalise the tariff to
the difference between the cost of produc
tion here and abroad with reasonable
pront.
"The republican party nover would make
a free trade bill and I never would vote
i tar one. and whatever criticism may be of-
Y fered to the last tariff law we all know
that it never stopped a factory, never
threw a man out of employment, reduced
his wages, nor lowered the prices of tne
products of the farm. Nevertheless, I bu
lleved them and 1 believe now that there
are Vime more reductions that could be
mewlth safety to our Industiles and our
labor, and cl all continue the flglit along
K that line with ether western senators who
' '"believe ai 1 riw
"My vote ujun the various schedules of
the recent tariff bill have been so numer
ously and persistently misrepresented and
.iViHirifid that I cannot reply within the
Seasonable space of this communication.
Eut I will say that wille possibly 1 may
have made soma mistakes during the five
long months of voting, that I never cast a
vote that I did -not consistently believe
was right and that was for the best inter
ests of the people ot Nebraska. '
"I denounce as false the statement that
J bavo not been a friend of the old soldiers,
and call as witness my record In congress
and the 4,000 veterans whose claims I have
helped.
"The Nebraska republic! as in congress,
true to their constituent, have all been
progressive and no more' oouiageous fight
was ever made than that by Congressman
Is'orrls. and all attempts by 'meddlesome
midgets'' to create strife between him and
myself have been gratuitous and most ma
licious. Our votes In congress" have unU
versally been Identical and our relations
most pleasant for re-election and he should
receive the vote of every high-minded man
In his district.
, "I cannot cover all the subjects of a
publlo nature, but 1 want the people to
know that I am with them today aa I have
keen in the past when 1 have fought for
them in county at.u stats conventions and
In the halls of congress.
"Thanking the people for their many ex
resslona of confidence and. esteem In the
Jast I pledge them the best end most con
scientious service that I can give in the
future."

Alleged Bigamist
Under Arrest
Othello M. Evani, Who Married Miss
Gorman of Grand Island, is in
Jail at Salt Lake City.
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 20.-(Speclal
Telegram.) While enjoying a honeymoon
with Grace Gorman of Grand Island, Neb.,
whom he married August 3 at Central City,
Neb., after deserting a wife and three
children In Kansas City. Othello M. Evans,
wealthy contractor of Kansas City, was
arrested here today on a charge of
bigamy.
The arrest was made at the request of
Percle Gorman, brother of Grace, who with
the asHlstance of Sheriff J. M. Dunkell
traced the couple from Central City after
the wedding to Denver, Colorado Springs
and finally to Salt Lake City.
The trouble started when Evans left his
home In Kansas City to take up the con
tract on a new federal building at Grand
Island. He met Miss Gorman and soon
proposed to her. She knew he had been
married, but he showed her divorce papers,
these satisfied the girl's parents. Percle
Gorman became suspicious after the
wedding and made Inquiry at Kansas City
finding the wife and family of Evans, lm
mediately he set out on the quest which
ended today, with Evans behind the bars
Evans says he will go back to Nebraska
without requisition papers.
Polk Paper Will Bolt.
STROMSBURG, Neb., Aug. 20. (Special.)
Since the indications are that Dahlman
has been nominated by the primaries last
Tuesday, the Headlight here, a populist and
democratic paper, refuses to support him
for governor and plainly states that it will
either be silent on the governorship or else
will openly support C. H. Aldrlch.
. Victor Wilson, who figures that he has
the democratic and populist nomination for
railway commissioner, says that he will
be greatly handicapped wltn Dahlman on the
ticket, and says that he has a great notion
to withdraw, as he seems to feel that it will
be useless to attempt to run.

DICK GREEN'S STRANGE DREAM
Colored . Messenger's Premonition of
the Death of John G.
Carlisle.
Those who have faith in the premonitions
of a dream will find some solace in the ex
perlence of Richard Green, for nearly fifty
years head messenger to the secretary of
the treasury, and the personal friend of
every man who has held that office In his
time. Of the long line of secretaries of
the treasury who have served in Green's
day perhaps none was so fond of "Dick,"
as he is best known, as the late John G.
Carlisle, secretary of the treasury under
Grover Cleveland.
In the absence of Secretary MacVeagh
from Washlt gton, "Dlck'B" present per
sonal charge is Robert O. Bailey, the pri
vate secretary of the secretary. Dick be
gins his daily duties by preparing break
fast for Mr. Bailey, having learned to
cook in "old Vlrginny" when he was a
boy; and was known to the slaves on the
plantation where he lived as the "son of
Jenny, the pot rassler." A few days he
fere Mr. Carlisle died in New YorK Dick
remarked one morning at breakfast:
"Mlsteh Bailey, I'se mightily troubled."
"Why, what's the matter, Dick.?" inquired
the private secretary.
"Well, sah," said Dick, "I had a bad
dream last night; and I Jes' can't git
over It."
"Whst was It, Dick?" Mr. Bailey In
quired. "Well, sah, I dreamed a membah of the
cabinet and died, and dey was burying
him In Washington."
"Who was It MckT" aked Mr. Bailey.
"Dat's Jos' what's troublln' me," said
Dick. "I can see It all Jes' as plain as day.
but I can't make out who's dead."
Three days later Dick received a tele
phone message from the Carlisle family
in New York notifying him that Mr. Car
lisle was dead and asking him to open up
the Carlisle home in Washington In prepa
ration for the funeral. The grief of Dick
was pathetic. He attended personally to
many of the funeral arrangements and had
entire charge of the house while the family
was In Washington.' After the funeral was
over he returned to the service of Mr. Bai
ley. That night he soberly remarked at
dinner:
"Mtateh Bailey, do you remember that
dream I told you about?"
Mr. Bailey, who had forgotten all about
the dream, looked up In a surprised sort of
way and recalled what Dick had told him.
"Well, sah, dat funeral yesterday was jes
exactly lak my dream."
John G. Carlisle never came to Wash
ington In recent years without making a
personal call on Dick.
"Hello, Dick, how are you? As long as I
live Dick, you will never want for a
friend," was the customary salutation to
the faithful messenger.
Before he left Washington permanently a
number of years ago Mr. Carlisle left a
standing order at his home on K street tha

CIna.es. Modern "witchcraft" plays a prominent
part in the life of New Tork City, but
every once In a while the arrest of some
person charged with practicing the old
fashioned kind proves that there are many
perosns, especially women, who pretend to

class. It would be impossible to burn
them at a stake, even It such punishment
were .still In style. Nothing short of a
roundhouse would do for an anchorage.
But the only thing they have to fear Is
the medical societies, which get after them
for practicing medicine without a license.
