settled that Theodore Roosevelt will
pay Nebraska n visit during the
pending campaign. This statement
IL made on the authority of Chair.
man Lindsay of the state central
committed, who says that Governor
Roosevelt will devote at least a week to
the campaign in Nebraska. 1t will be
a great treat to tho people Of Nebraska
to see, not only the next vice president
Of the United States. but one of the
foremost scholars and statesmen Of the
nation-a man Of high distinguishment
in civil and military life. The exact
time Governor Roosevelt will be here
has not, as yet, been determined.
The list Of speakers for the campaign
will contain among others the names of
many noted statesmen and orators, the
object being to so present the evidence
that the verdict rendered in the high
court Of public opinion shall be based on
IN in%telligenC understanding. 1t never
has been, and is not now, the desire of
the Republican party to acquire public
stewardship by false pretenses. More
than once the Republican party has re.
sisted supposedly popular vagaries in
the face OF a popular demand for their
adoption, because it was confident that
1t was right and that the vagaries were
not alone wrong, but fraught with
great public danger.

public while all the world looked on In
amaEement.
1t 10 the party that for 10 years has
maintained an industrial policy which
distinguishes American labor from that
OF oil the rest Of the world. and which
has elevated 1t to q standard uneQualed in
the history Of civilized nations. For 40
years the Republican party has stood
guard at the doorway Of labor. repuls.
ing again and again the attacks Of
Democratic free trade. Defeated In
their repeated efforts to bring American
labor to a level with the pauper labor
OF Europe. the ~fusionists have
adopted a new scheme and that is to
lure labor away from its safe moorings
through alluring promises contingent
upon a change in the monetary system.
IL isn't free trade now, though the
f~usionists are Just as much for free
trade now as they ever were, it is free
silver. One is fraught with az much
distress to the american people as the
Other. Neither can BIO adopted With.
out being attended by inconceivable
disaster. The Republican party believes
in n free people, free homes and free
government--it does not believe in free
trade or free silver.
Expansion.
The Republican party believes in ex.
pansion. 1t believes in extending the
benefits of free citizenship and self.
government to every possible cline. 1t
believes in progress in commercial and
territorial expansion, to the end that all
may be benefited and the world i'll gen.
eral brought under the benign influence
of Christianity and intelligence.
The history of the United States is u
history of expansion-expansion in ter.
ritory, as well as in trade, art, science,
and literature. Expansion upon any
pretext was until recently opposed by
the ~fusionists. They charged that the
Republicans were imperialistic when
they declared in favor of territorial ex.
pansion. They have. in a degree. since
changed their orthodoxy. The Demo
cratic national convention at Kansas
City which handled the expansion
question with such passive delicacy was
held in territory acquired by expansion.
The site of Kansas City is part Of the
Louisiana purchase. Nebraska, the
home of w j. Bryan, the Democratic
candidate for president, was Spanish
territory when jefferson was made
president. Nearly 800 members of the
Kansas City convention came from ter
ritory acquired through expansion.
More than 40 Of the delegates came from
territory annexed in consequence of the
war with Mexico. Minnesota, Mon
tana, Missouri, Nebraska. Arkansas.
Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, North and
