One phase Of the Spellman murder
trial that deserves at least passing at
tention seems to have been overlooked in
the fact that the county attorney was
assisted or rather displaced in the
prosecution by w. +. Gurley, acting
ostensibly for the widow of Caldwell, the
murdered Union Pacific strike breaker.
That Gurley really represents the Union
Pacific railroad and will be paid a fat
fee out of the roads treasury no one
will doubt. The right of the railroad TO
participate in the prosecution is properly
within the law, but the selection of
Gurley for this particular work is only
understood in connection with recent
political events. Gurley's engagement
for the Spellman murder case is simply
a continuation Of his engagement for the
Mercer campaign, in which he was the
chief fugleman for the nonresident the
Union Pacific ~endeavored to impose upon
the voters of this congressional district.
The Union Pacific has plenty of lawyers
regularly in it's employ who could at.
tend to the Spellman case, and in a
pinch John n. Baldwin Of Iowa himself
might have appeared on behalf of the
road, but then Gurley would not have
come in for his reward. The corpora
tons have various ways of paying cash
prices for political services.

Referring to the prospective senator

marks that they emphasize the need Of
a change in the method Of electing
United States senator's. 1t says the evil

the forces which produce the deadlocks
are evidently in operation over the
whole country. from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and show no signs OF diminu-
ton. Eat any time under u present
method OF election" says the Call,
there may arise a scandal that will
pass from a state legislature to the
United States senate itself and result In
a national disgrace" and adds: while
the election of senators by legislatures
may have been an excellent plan in
times past. 1t has outlived it's useful
ness, At the present time the system is
fruitful OF frauds and scandals and
leads to the sacrifice Of state interests
to personal fights. 1t is time to change
the method"
There have been numerous scandals
In connection with the election OF sen

From this it will be seen that the
fusion candidate for governor at the
recent election, Notwithstanding his per
sonal popularity which gave him an ad-
vantage over his associates, polled a
smaller number of votes than any other
fusion candidate for governor since that
party scored It's high water mark in
1896, when it swept Nebraska completely
out Of the republican column. On the
other hand the republican candidate
for governor has polled more votes than
any other republican candidate for the
same Office within n decade, with the
exception alone of the last presidential
year, 1900, when the total vote was
fully $4,000 greater than in 1902. Such a
showing is certainly conclusive proof
that the republicans in Nebraska have
been growing in numbers not only by
new recruits but also at the expense of
their opponents.
Figures of the minor party vote will
be puzzling to politicians. More votes
were polled for the two minor party
candidates in 1902 in spite of its being
an off year than for three minor party
candidates in the great presidential
year of 1900, and almost as many as in
1896 when the gold democrats were
added into the minor party column.
This year the prohibition vote has fallen
to 3,157 as against 4,315 two years ago,
while the socialists, who polled only
GA votes for their candidate for gov
ernor in 1900 have registered 1897 votes
for governor in 1902.
Adding all the opposition together the
successful republican candidate is still
a plurality governor but whereas the
combined opposition two years ago ag-
gregated 119, 1O2, or 1923 more than
the vote polled for the republican gov
ernor, in this year 1902 the aggregate
opposition is $3.50, or only 800 in ex-
cess of the vote polled for the repub-
lican candidate. All in all. the most
critical analysis cannot fail to be encour-
aging for continued republican ascend
ency in Nebraska.
