The vote in Nebraska this fall will be

Mclean in the democratic national con-
Eention next vear-a strong popular
tribute to politician with riches for his
chief qualification.
1t is accordingly of vital personal i'm
portance to Mr.. Bryan that his state be
held in the fusion democratic column.
He has so far since 1896 been able
to do this in the face of large crops
and unusual material prosperity through
put the state. But Nebraska this year is
more prosperous than ever. The crops
are again very large and the burden of
debt, after three profitable agricultural
years, has been greatly reduced. The
task before the silver and antl-monepoly
Header is not what 1t was when debt and
depression and despair weighed upon the
people and drove them to the espousal
of desperate political remedies.

able young man is also obviously no small
factor in the undertaking to keep
Nebraska democratic. That of itself
may suffice to hold the state. 1t is plain
ly much greater than ever before. Bryan
since 1896 has become national figure
of the first prominence, and state pride
is beginning to be stirred as was not so
plainly the case in 1896. When once
aroused this will carry public man far,
as our political history has frequently
shown. 1t may suffice, apart from the
new issue of imperialism and in spite of
the prosperity, to keep Nebraska at his
back this year and send him before the
national convention with the continued
prestige of being able to carry this
naturally Republican state,-Springfied
