NEBRASKA REPusLlcANlsM.

Nebraska republicans have cause tic
feel exlIltant of the reclamation OF
the state from populism. That they
keenly appreciate their escape from
Bryan and Organism is shown in the
ringing resolutiones adopted at the
recent state convention.
Nebraska republicans believe in
republican doctrines. They endorse
Rooseyeltian policies; they stand firm.
ly in favor of the party's protective
policies; they see the fulhllment OF
Americas duty in keeping the Philip
pines and establishing therein q sta.
BILE government.
For the past ten years, Bryan, a
citizen OF that great state, has been
attempting to trade in the disappoint-
ment and discomfort of the western
people. To such extremes have his
supporters of the democratic and pop
uliFt parties gone that the people of
Nebraska, disguised, have returned to
tho thriving camp of the republican
party. With firm conviction in their
catisn they declare:
We congratulate the state that we
have made it manifest that there is
no rsrm3nent place in American poll
tics for the political leader who bases
1T 11aiins for popular SUPPORT upon
trc lures or disaprointments of the
pe3t
'sN'c congratulate ourselves that the
peel lie Of the state are enjoying good
prices, good wages, GOOD markets. and
good government, and all the manifold
blessings of general prosperity that we
forctold would follow the election Of
our late superb and grand American
patriot. President William Mckinley;
and whose magnificent policy is now
being carried into full and complete
execution in mastery way by the
strong will and clear judgment Of
President Theodore Roosevelt.
Eve congratulate not only ourselves
but the people at large that the
administration of our national affairs
and our negotiations with foreign ma
tions, are being conducted by cour-
ageous republican president, whom
the American people now desire to
honor with a second term as the chief
magistrate OF the greatest and grand
est nation of the ear.h-Theodore
Roosevelt.
we adhere to the American protec-
tive policy of the republican party,
which has increased the revenues and
not impeded trade; which has opened
tho doors Of mills and factories to mil
liens of American skilled mechanics,
and iii returning to them the higher
wages which are the just recompensel
OF their toll"
During the reign Of the fusionists
extreme craftsmanship prevailed. Br~-
antics antagonized Nebraska soldiers.
flouted patriotic sentiment, and COW
cred the windows of the capital with
pictures of their candidate. Party
spirit was substituted for public poll
cies.
Nebraskans have learned through
the school of hard experience that
the promises of the populistic fusion
lists were insufficient for the proper
administration of state affairs They
have come to realize that in the poll
cies of the republican party are to be
found conservative and businesslike
administration of state affairs, and
prosperity unparalleled. They have
decided to return to these policies,
and In voicing their determination,
they speak forth in no uncertain
sound
Nebraska republication is of the
sort that will wear. 1t is the kind
that will be found in the republican
platform of 1904.
Honor to the fearless, old-time re-
publicans of Nebraska.
