NEBRASKA POPULISTS
State Committee Opens Head quarters In
Liberty Building. LincOln-An
Address
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2. 1903.

Lincoln, NED, sept. q, lSVo.
go the Populists of Nebraska:
Another campaign is upon us. For
years we have been told that each
campaign is a most important one. We
do not need to tell any populist that
this is true of this campaign. You all
know it, and the reasons. We do not
care to go into details in this letter.
Cnly that you may know we have
opened up headquarters in compliance
with direction of the state central
Committee-AND ARE HERE TO
WIN. coffee rooms in Liberty Build
ing, 1928 o street)
All populists have reason to be proud
OF their party and the great good it
has brought about; not only in the
state, by uncovering frauds and steals
land all honest men regardless OF
party affiliation are glad this was
dcne), but also for the things our party
has caused to be brought about in ma
tiOnal politics. We have greater work
yet to do. Look at politics in Ken
lucky where republicans sanction an
awful wrong, to the extent of keeping
q fugitive from justice; and in the
Iation-not only in the various islands
annexed have they shown their hands
Ol fraud, but in the department OF gov
eminent we consider most sacred-the
pcstoffice department-and right I'M
der the eyes of the chief executive,
they rob and plumber. Is it any won
der that republican leaders in the last
campaign made their battle cry. "Let
h
lican leader dare to make such plea
this year?
We have an excellent ticket. No
man can truthfully say aught against
Judge Sullivan; his record as judge is
such that all men must commend his
work. While our candidates for re-
gents are not known as politicians,
they are known to be much interested
il educational work, especially the
state university.
We urge every voter in Nebraska
who is in favor of reform and the
stamping out of the supremacy of cor
poration influence to rally to the sup
port of our ticket. 1t would be a
calamity to this state for the supreme
court to pass into the control of he
railroads.
We have no word to say against the
personality of the candidates on the
republican ticket. AS Benjamin
Franklin once said, "Show me the
company man keeps and / will tell
you what the man is" A man would
be ungrateful indeed who did not list
en- to the powers that made him.
All good citizens can support our
platform and ticket regardless Of party
to which they belong. Yours truly,
B. r. B. WEBER,
]. r. FARRIS, Chairman.
Secretary.

In the Outlook Fairy Book, an
nounced for early publication by the
Outlook company, it is said that an
attempt has been made to make a
judicious combination of the old fav-
orites which are part of the hertz
age of every English speaking child,
with tales from French, German, Ital-
ian and Spanish sources which have
never before appeared in English.
This collection seeks to avoid the sad
and repulsive pictures presented in
some of the old wonder-tales, and
keeps the romantic element dominant
in the book. The many Illustrations
are by an artist who is particularly
successful in appealing to the imag-
nation of children.
