There was n time when many OF the
people OF Nebraska permitted others
to think for them. They were toe busy
with their W personal affairs, or too
ical problems. For that reason many
honestly believed In the vagaries of
Bryan In 1896. They accepted what
he said as gospel truth without stop

Mckinley was elected this country
would be visited by such suffering and
distress as 1t had never before known.
Results have demonstrated that this,
to say the least, was a vicious ana
