INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

While in Deadwood a few days since
THE CONSERVATIVE met Colonel Steele,
an eminent and well-known attorney of
that city, who was formerly a represent
alive of Wyoming in congress. Speak
ing of the committee on resolutions at
the Chicago convention of 1896, Colonel
Steele stated the fact that William Jen-
nings Bryan asked the committee to put
into the platform something favorable
to the Initiative and referendum. .
The eloquent Nebraskan made no plea
for this part of the platform based upon
any alleged devotion or adherence to
principle, but naively declared that such
a statement would "catch a great many
votes that otherwise might be lost"
After this statesmanlike and patriotic
expression of friendship for the initial
i've and referendum by Colonel Bryan,
Senator George of Mississippi addressed
him, saying: Good God young man,
can't you leave us anything in the way
of principles that the fathers of the con
stitution and the country declared for
and defended?"
Coming, as this did, from Senator
George, one of the most intense and rad
ical advocates of the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l without re-
gard to any other nation on earth or in
the planetary system, the young man
addressed subsidized and made no further

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.

If the political party which is now re-
sponsible for the Philippine war and the
enormous loss of life and treasure which
that war costs can again secure the
presidency of the United States and
elect an apologist or advocate of wa it
must choose some other man for it's
standard bearer than William Mckinley.
The reluctant" is not, at present, pop
ular with men who like decision, and
hate indecision, of character. Mr.. Nc
Kinley does too many official acts Ere
luctantly." He hesitates and then
yields when the Hanna, Platt and Ell
kins style of statesmen approximately
advise and direct what they want him
to do.
Theodore Roosevelt is honest. The
odore Roosevelt is able. Theodore
Roosevelt is brave and unselfsh in war
as he is fearless and upright in peace.
The Conservative, 1899-07-13
Che Conservative.

Therefore if in 1900 the republican
party can elect any man to the presi-
dency capable of rendering the republic
of the United States an efficient, wise,
and patriotic service, that man is Theo-
dore Roosevelt. He commands the re-
spect of all who have the pleasure of his
personal acquaintance.
And if-in their admiration for war,
and their alteration of heroes-the
American people
nominee from each of the great political
parties, Nebraska can proudly present
Colonel William Jennings Bryan, whose
invincibility in peace and invisibility in
war are known and praised in all pop
ulistic arousements from Maine to Cali
fornia.
Colonel Bryan was me of the first to
enlist. He was likewise the gallant
leader of those first to resign. The
courage with which he became a SOL
der was only equalled by the self abne-
cation with which he relinquished the
possibility of glory and guns OF the
field of battle. With an unparalleled
record for shooting off his mouth and a
record for shooting off guns which
would make the Quaker vote a certainty
for him, Colonel Bryan is, beyond doubt,
the only military man whom the popu-
lists can put up against Theodore Roose-
and courage of Roosevelt ON the one
hand and the womanly tenderness and
resignation of Bryan on the other would
elect-somebody.

effort in behalf of a plank endorsing the
initiative and referendum for the pur-
pose of catching the ballots of suckers.
Colonel Steele is a democratic advo-
cate of the gold standard and other
sound propositions and stands high as q
publicist not only in Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, South Dakota and Nebraska, but
throughout the entire Northwest. He
is a lawyer of extensive and profitable
practice and sincerely esteemed by all
who have the honor and pleasure of his
acquaintance.
The Conservative, 1899-07-13
The citizenship
OF Nebraska and
of the whole re-
SHOW
YOUR HAND.

of the whole re-
public for that matter is becoming ia
tigued with the buster and bluff Of
~Bryanarchy.
People who read and think begin to
ask for some definite good which has
been accomplished for Nebraska or for
the republic by the policies and politi-
clans of the fusion persuasion.
People ask, what has Bryan accom-
plished during four years in congress?
Where is any legislation of beneficent
character emanating from his brains
and labors?
When and where did Bryan accom-
plish a benefit for "the plain people,"
either as a lawyer, a statesman OF a SOL
der?
Has Bryan saved money for the plain
people who pay the taxes in the United
States?
Has he by any deed, act, thought or
speech improved the physical, intellec-
tual OF moral condition of the afore-
named plain people?
Will some Bryanarchist make an ex-
hibit, give an inventory, of the acts of
this perambulating orator which have
been of permanent usefulness to the
American people?
Promises piled higher than noun
tains have many populists given. But
all their performances are below sea-
level and out Of sight. In Nebraska,
from Allen and KEN and McKeighan
and Maxwell and Billdech, from the
highest to the lowest, what have the
leaders of fusion organized, instituted
or animated for the common good?
What principles do they stand for
when fused together? Are they any
thing more or less than incarnate impor-
tunity for Office? Do they ever discuss
government or policies of finance except
as a presumed means of getting Office?
Fusion should either formulate a plat
form Of principles, or compose a con-
~fession, for public circulation. The tax
paying voters call upon Allen, the ex-
United States senator, and present dis
trict judge, and all the lesser opponents
of fusion to show their hands. Let every
body see upon what they are doing their
betting, blufing, office.seeking and
office-holding? If there be among
them anything but inordinate appetite
for public place and emolument let the
people see the other thing or things.

AN INVITATION.

Within the calm seclusion
Among the quiet hooks
Where wait the friendly faces
OF long-familiar books,
/ turn the poets pages
And read the quaint words DER,
When, with the faintest whisper,
A zephyr swings the door.
Once more the past attracts me
To journey by the side
Of pilgrims who sin felaweschipe
Toward CANTERBURY ryde."
When 10, a wave of fragrance
Sweeps through the ancient lorel
With whiffs of wild rose perfume
The zephyr swings the door.
AS if the gentle Chaucer,
Who loved all Nature well,
Still wandered forth in spirit,
Enchanted by her spell,
And sent his voice which fingered
From ages gone before
To join a pleading zephyr
That softly swings the door.
1t swings to show a glimmer
OF ripping waters flow,
OF white sailed visions fieeting
And drifting clouds of snow;
OF woodlands green where quiet
Is held with peace in store;
With subtle plea alluring,
The zephyr swings the door.
Fleet fancy opens swiftly
The portals of the years;
Afar, in shining meadows,
The poets form appears.
Away from courtly s%plendors
To scenes that charmed him more,
He beckons one to follow
When fancy swings the door.
To follow where, mid daisies,
In eager JOY he went
To seek in lonely pathways
His deepest hearts content;
Where words began their singing
To echo Ger and DER,
Into the realm of Nature
He swung the poets door.
From verdant arches rising
Where forest shadows sleep,
From fields o~'erspread with sunlight,
From banks where flowers creep,
Still calls his voice inviting
Grave eyes from bookish lore
To wander forth with Nature
When zephyrs swing the door.
