The Express is one of the original
Blaine papers of this state that doesn't
believe it good taste to be growing over
the Arthur men who came back from
Chicago disappointed. We are all Re
publicans, and it is fair to presume that
the Arthur men in Nebraska were quite
as sincere as the friends of any other
candidate. 1t is true, of course, that
Nebraska will give Blaine a grand ma
jority, but this assurance does not war
rant any Blaine men or newspapers in
saying to Mr.. Arthur late supporters
that they will be required to take a back
seat IN the councils of the party. Let
us be just, remembering also that more
flies are caught with sugar than vinegar

The increase of votes at each presi-
dental election gives some idea of the
growth of our population. The whole
vote cast in the Harrison campaign of
1910 was little over 2. 400, 600, while
in 1880 it was 9.21O,97O, or nearly four
times as great. The combined vote of
New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana
is now larger than the total vote of all
the states in 1910; and New York
alone casts nearly as many votes as
were cast by the whole country in 1923.
Another remarkable fact is that as the
votes increase the margin of difference
between the parties grows narrower.
Polk, Taylor, Buchanan, Lincoln, Hayes
and Garfield were all elected by a plu-
rality instead of majority of the az
gregate popular vote and in the case
of the latter the plurality by which he
won was only 1000 in total vote of
nearly 5000, 600.

THE Republican urges upon its read
ers throughout the state such action as
will lead to the immediate formation of
Blame and Logan clubs. Clubs should
be organized in every county, town and
precinct in the state, and that with as
much dispatch as possible. And The
Republican would go furthur than has
been its custom in preceding campaigns.
Let the organization be not too exclusive.
If there should be any wavering republic
cans or repentant democrats in the
neig hborhood, admit them to member
ship. But organize! Organize. Organize!

Ii Is stated that an earnest and i'm
mediate campaign will be made in several
of the southern states with the hope Of
carrying them for Blaine and Logan
this fall. II is said the campaign fund
will be large enough to do this on a scale
that will lend possibility to the success
of the scheme Such thing is not at
all impossible if the right course is
pursued. In Louisiana for example,
there is such factional rivalry among
the whites that the outs could be induced
to vote for republican electors in ex-
change for support of their state ticket.
There are other states where something
might be done. In Florida there is
northern population sufficiently nu-
merous to make a strong nucleus for a
well organized republican party. Many
OF the newly developed counties they
control absolutely, and in most of The
Others they are strong and respected.
Elarida may be carried for Blaine and
Logan.--Lincoln Journal
