suited in n victory for John l.. Nc
Pheely OF Minden over Judge Ben :.
Baker of Omaha for the permanent
craftsmanship. Norris Brown of Kear.
uey presided as temporary chairman.
Norris Brown of K%earney was pre-.
sented as temporary chairman. Mr..
Brown spoke entertainingly for ten
minutes. He scored Governor Holcomb
for declining to accord Nebraska her
proper place among prosperous states
and for ascribing what prosperity she
possesses to his being governor. Mr..
Brown declared the popocratic admin
istration had assaulted the state treas.
ury as its first act. Bogus contests
were commenced by the legislature to
unseat lawfully elected men. In their
stead men who had not pretended to
receive a plurality Of the votes were
seated. This was but the beginning.
When the legislature had thus secured
votes enough to attach an emergency
clause to IA bill it organized a deliberate
assault on the constitution and under
took to count in two judges Of the
supreme court. In this the popocrats

After election the opposition said,
where is your general prosperity?'
All through the special session of con-
gress they sneered and tainted us and
said, where is prosperity? The other
day prosperity came, came quickly ut
the bidding of the republican party,
and now they say Providence brought

you ever stop to think that Providence

Prosperity has come to Nebraska.
Did you ever stop 10 consider that the
combined products will make Nebras-
ka the first agricultural state in the
union? They would have you believe
you are the victims of a great con.
spiracy, a conspiracy to increase the
