Take Your Choice.

There are now nine presidential
tickets in the field and "still there's
more to follow" so that the average
voter need not remain away from the
polls owing to lack of choice:
Socialist labor party-Job Hartman
of California for president, Max S.
Hayes for vice president.
Social emocrats-Eugene V. Debs of
Indiana and Job Hartman of California.
These two parties will probably consol.
idate.
Socialists, DeLeon faction-Joseph F.
Maloney of Massachusetts,, and Valen.
tine Remmill of Pennsylvania,
United Christian party-Rev. Francis
E. Clark and Rev Charles M. Sheldon.
Prohibitionists-John c. Woolley of
Illinois and Henry B. Metcalfe of Rhode
Island
Middle.of the.road populists-Whar.
ton Barker of Pennsylvania and Ignatius
Donnelly of Minnesota.
Fusion populists-W J. Bryan OF
Nebraska and.
Republicans-Wm. Mckinley of OhiC
and Theodore Roosevelt of New York
Democrats-W, j. Bryan of Nebraska
and Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois.
Never has there been a national cam
paign when there were so many ticket
in the field and the size of the ballots
especially in Nebraska, is expected to b.
something astonishing, while the worl
of the election boards will not be alto

the convention to occupy the opera
