are not elected judges in Nebraska.
The CONSERVATIVE does not believe in
an elective judiciary. Judges nomina-
ted by the governor and confirmed by
the senate average much better, as to
brains, character, requirement and repu
tation than those nominated by political
conventions and elected by partisan
votes. When an elected judge turns out
badly-proves inefficient, ignorant or
corrupt, the responsibility for his being
a judge can never be fixed upon one
person, or few persons. All declare
him not to have been their choice, all
repudiate him and denounce him. But
if judge nominated to the state senate
and by that body confirmed goes wrong
the responsibility is fixed quickly upon
the executive and the confirming power.
Where would the republic be today if the
federal courts had been made elective?
Who wishes to change United States
district, circuit and supreme court
judgeships into elective positions?

years that fusion has been a failure"
says Chairman Howell of the Nebraska
Democratic Committee. "This cam
paign has strengthened this opinion, and
has convinced majority of the mem
bers of the committee of the same thing.
I have two main reasons for my belief.
In the first place, regard that the popu-
lists and free silver republicans get rep
resentation on fusion tickets out of all
proportion to their voting strength.
Second, I consider that we are alienat.
ing more democrats by fusion than we
secure from the populists and free silver

A BOARD OF
TRUSTEES.

Nebraska must cease to be the play
things, the rewards and compensations
of practical politics. The laws should be
revised and so amended that each estab-
lishment may be governed by board of
trustees, who shall be named to the
senate and confirmed by that body.
The trustees should be non.partisan.
They should be selected because of
character and adaptation to the duties
of the place. They should have free
power to employ and to discharge all
employees. With such a system, scan
dals, extravaganza and ineficiency
would soon disappear.

be repealed. It should be replaced by a
broad and liberal statute calculated to
lure capital into enterprises within this
commonwealth. The utmost liberty and
freedom--within the limits of the pub
lie good-should be assured to all incor-
porations doing business or proposing to
do business, n the state of Nebraska.
The existing laws are, as rule, in
imical to combined capital. The poison
of class legislation has infused itself
throughout all laws relative to capital
in corporate form until Nebraska is a
constant repellant of enterprises of mag
nitude, which are really needed for the
proper and profitable development of the
vast resources of the state. Nebraska
would rejoice at the incoming of all the
Standard Oil, Sugar, Steel and Wire,
Starch and Salt capital of the world
Nebraska calls aloud, by it's latest vote,
for capital to nestle within it's borders.
