Nebraska tonight enters apOn rs !hlr-
teesth g"oernarorial campaign. In
round numbers ii is u Guarte.-: 6 /. cen

at the end Of Gov l. d. Richards first
term it will be about The twenty-tltth
anniversary of the admission OF Ne
braska as state in the union. The
party as then organized entered upon
its first state campaign, from which it
emerged triumphant. In each success
sive year have Nebraska republicans
followed its party standard to victory.
Twelve times has Nebraska elected a
republican governor; twelve times has
it declared for the republican judiciary;
six times has it cast its electoral vote
for the republican presidential caudi-
date. Though other states-Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas,
Massachusetts, even Iowa-have some
times faltered and failed, Nebraska
never Our colors, thanks to the cour,,
age and consistency of our leaders and
the bravery and patriotic leadership of
our rank and file, have never been

never been heard along our line, but
after each political battle we have occu-
pied the field from which the enemy
had fled.
Twenty three years ago the republi-
can party of Nebraska took possession
of the state government, and well and
worthily has it discharged its trusts anc

The UTAH COMMISSION.

After reporting that "the commission is
IN receipt OF reports from its registration
officers, which enumerate forty-one male
persons, who, it is believed, have entered
into the polygamic relation since June.
lSS9-a report they must have known to be
ridiculously false-the commission makes
the following important statement:
When 1t is remembered that there are q Err1e
Rml5er OF communities and precincts IN uhich there
are 40 Ghti-AoS1a0Bs to act as registrars and
the commission is compelled to appoint them
from the membership Of the Mormon church
that these reports come only from precincts
where there are watchiul opponents of the
crime; that Mormon registrars never report
cases occurring in the precincts in which they
serve, and that the greatest care is observed
70 keep such marriages secret, so secret that
the birth Of q child is generally the first cause
70 suspect the fact of unlawful marriage. IL is
more than probable that only a small proper.
ton Of the polygamous marriages really con-
tracted are reported, and still smaller num-
Der where convictions could be had for even un.
lawful cohabitaticn.
We invite particular attention to the
lines we have italicized in the foregoing.
The commission reports that there are a
large number Of communities and precincts
in which there are no anti Mormons"; and
on the very next page the commission asks
that the Mormons in these and all other
communities and precincts be disfran-
chised.
Here is a proposition to be made by
American citizens, officials in this republic.
To disfranchise whole communities, in
which there are not enough other people
even to fill the offices; to strip the last
vestige Of local self-government from
peaceable communities and send hungry
carpet baggers among them in order that
there may he some one to ill the civil OFF
ces necessary; TO make it necessary to send
into each city entire strangers for the Off

preventative is 10000 by the new bill. An
additional member is provided for if after
dividing the total number of the population
in each state by 100000, there is large
enough remainder. But the bills are so
framed as to give the Republican states an
extra Representative upon a smaller re-
mainder than that allotted to Democratic
states as the number necessary for one
more member of the House.
Texas, for example, had twelve members
apportioned to it, and there were then r.
220 people unrepresented. No additional
member was given for these people. Texas
is Democratic state. Illinois received an
additional member for IS, 356 people, Min
nesota one for 40,017, Nebraska one for S.
1913; West Virginia had a remainder over
of 4O,44S people, for which no additional
Representative was given. Pennsylvania,
with a remainder of 2S,517, was to have an
additional member But the following
Democratic states, each with larger re-
mainder, were to have none: Florida, 30,
