edy the evil. The damage. however, has
been done. and several cities in other states
have made the Argo company liberal Of
fers to locate their factory In their city and
guarantee them protection from such ac-
ton.
Views of Two Chairmen.
H. c. Lindsey. chairman Of the state re-
publican central committee, gives out this
estimate of the situation: Everything points
TO the state going for Mckinley. 1t would
not surprise me IL we elect every state Of
ficer, as well as the legislature. The legis-
Iature We feel very certain of. But we are
now certain Of the state giving a majority
in favor of President Mckinley. On all
sides are signs of republican supremacy
The fusonists have disntegrated and thou
sands of former republicans have returned
to their first love. We have the assurances
of the German voters that they are with
US, and altogether 1 cannot see how 1t Is
possible for us to lose the state. We are
very confident Of success
DIR. =. L. Hail. democratic chairman of
the state central committee, makes this
observation: Bryan will carry Nebraska
and We will elect the entire state and leg1s-
latfye tickets. / cannot see upon what basis
the republican managers can honestly claim
to control the state They are either fgnor-
ant of the real situation, or are merely
trying to deceive themselves. In any event
We are not disturbed. Our organization In
Nebraska is perfect, and we are in receipt
of communicat ations daily from men who
opposed Mr.. Bryan in 1896 stating that they
will vote for him this year I regard the
German vote solidly for Bryan on ques-
tions of Imperialism.
Imperialism has been about the only is
sue discussed in Nebraska this fall. Silver
is seldom mentioned. and then only in a
reminiscent sort of way. The trust QueS-
ton is cutting some figure, but not much.
On the whole, the campaign has not proved
as warm as either side anticipated, but
enough enthusiasm has been manifested on
both sides to please the managers of both
parties.
Unique Campaign Feature.
Mr.. Edward Rosewater has charge of the
national campaign in Nebraska and he has
completed one of the most effective organi-
cations the state has ever known In every
county and in each township he has formed
organizations for the purpose of dissent
mating republican literature and getting out
the voters this fall Mr.. Rosewater has in
troduced some very unique features into
the campaign in the west From his paper,
the Omaha Daily Bee. of four years ago, he
Is taking extracts from news columns show
ing the dire distress that prevailed right
here at home. In one column can be read
notices of foreclosures by the score because
farmers could not renew their mortgages.
The banks would not accept renewals
through fear of coming panic. In another
column is culled dozens of notices Of hun
CRY men walking the streets of the various
towns, the number that applied for admis-
sion to the soup houses of Omaha on this
or that night, and in another department
Mr.. Rosewater prints the news of today
showing the railroad begging for men,
notices from banks and money lenders. Of
fering money at per cent; notes from the
state showing enormous liquidation of farm
mortgages, and other features of pros
perity. This system is having a very sub
stantial effect as evidencing the prosperi y
that has come with the present republican
administration.
Mr. Rosewater is an avowed candidate te for
the United States Senate. If the republi-
cans carry the state, the probabilities are
that Edward Rosewater of Omaha and d.
F.. Thompson of Lincoln will be sent to the
Senate. If the fusionists, the contrary,
carry the state, G. NJ. Hitchcock and Sena-
tor w. v Allen will be the representatives
Of Nebraska in the Senate. Good crowds
are coming out at the various campaign
meetings all over the state. The fusion
forces are not neglecting their work. They
have organized very thoroughly for the
business of the campaign, and express
much confidence in the result
