didate for the presidency, unless he
gave loyal support to Bryan in 1900.
No candidate will have good standing
in the convention of the democracy
next summer unless he sustained Bry-
ans second run with voice and vote.
Neither Mr.. Cleveland nor any mem
Der of his cabinet could have a sue
cess before democratic national con-
vention. That line will be drawn with
absolute certainty, and remain an i'm
.passable barrier Mr.. Bryan has a
veto on the gold democrats and there
is no power anywhere to repeal his
authority. If Mr.. ingalls,, Oiney, Har-
mon, or any judge or person of high
democratic repute did not vote for
Bryan, he cannot be the leader.
Mark the fact that Mr.. Bryan has
the veto power in the democratic con-
vention of 1904, and Mr.. Cleveland has
not. No matter what the argument is,
the fact stands, and there is not gold,
silver, or paper money enough to
change the higher law Of the democ-
racy that boilers must be beaten"
Owing to the twc-thirds rule it is
possible for Mr.. Cleveland's faction to
hold undue advantage in the conven-
ton; yet Mr.. Bryan will be able to
prevent any bolter from reaching the
plum AS both may be considered ont
of the running themselves, personally,
the next question is where to find the
man. Mr.. Halstead's years OF experi-

lead him unhesitating. to pick out

Recently q number OF papers nave
been chortling over certain freak leg
islation," and especially the autorno-
bile law enacted by the republican
legislature of Kansas this year. OF
course, the Kansas law is bit Of buff
foonery wholly out of place in dig
nified. sheepskin-covered statute book;
but for grim humor, The Independent
commends Chapter LOT, Session Laws
of Nebraska, enacted by the republican
legislature of 1903.
This act, being S. F. 275, was intro
dnced by State Senator ]. M. Cox OF
Hamilton. Cox is farmer and is re-
puted to be the second wealthiest man
in his county, and it is said he keeps
a complete set of books, in which he
accounts for every transaction, how
ever small. By his carefully watching
the "mickles'' he has amassed the
ssmuckle."
Well, when Cox came to the state
. senate and saw the way the republic
cans were running things, to say he
was shocked would be to put 1t very
mildly. Secretary Marsh and one OF
his proteges were mixed UP in some
carpet transaction which looked very
much as though somebody had deter
mined to steal carpet from the state.
Marsh had gone to great expense in
fitting up the two legislative halls in
proper shape so that the sOlons would
be comfortably, if not luxuriously
housed and cared for. Costly divans,
elegant carpets, gaudy paint were ev-
erywhere in evidence. Senator Cox
noticed an entire absence of the care
which had characterized his life work.
He saw the crying need of some check
upon republican rapacity. He intro
duced S. F. 275 to stop one of the big
leaks. And by dint Of perseverance he
succeeded in having it become law.
Wherever readers of The Independent
have access to a copy of the session
laws for 1903, let them read the en-
tire act and enjoy the delicious humor,
enjoyable because Senator Cox was
wholly oblivious Of the fact that his
bill is one of the strongest indict-
ments ever made against republican
officials.
Section 1 provides that sixty days
prior to the converting of any regular
session of the legislature, the board OF

Jeffersonian Simplicity.

Thos. Jefferson, third president of
these United States, was skeptical Of
the science Of medicine, believing in
permitting nature to re-establish order
in the system when any function was
deranged, and discussed the subject
frequently, with the same interest and
earnestness that he did theology and
politics.
Il believe" he said. chat there are
certain substances by which, applied
to tie living body, either internally or
externally or both, nature can be as

THE HEARST MOVEMENT

by the Veteran Historian Murat
HAlstead

The dimensions OF the Hearst boom
grow day by day, and the next ma
tlOnal democratic convention will have
a three-cOrnered proplem on it's hands
unless Bryan and Hearst should de-
eide to join forces. there will be the
Cleveland wing, representing about
one-fOrtieth OF the democratic party
at the ballot box, but in themselves
astute politicians and capable OF maxi
ing sufficient noise to recall the story
about the lrishman who contracted to
deliver a carload OF frogs legs, but
succeeded in delivering only two pairs.
There will be the Bryan wing, repre-
Senting over six million voters, the
vast majority OF whom are farmers
OF whose economic interests are close
IL allied with those of the agricultur-
lists. And there will be the Hearst
wing, representing the wage-worAers
who are Semi-sOcialiStic in their aims
not the "class-consciOus" kind who
expect cooperative commonwealth
to be Matched out, chich-lihe, from
present conditions; but rather those
who are really populists and haven't
discovered it, believing in government

The purpose of presenting this mat

attention of the country to the fact

among them phenomenal presiden-

to impending dangers, the form of So
cialism that consents to orderly meth
DDS and is capable of charity, to stand
against that which rushes into an
archy."
Mr.. Halstead calls to mind that in
ten months the presidential conven-
items will name the candidates. He
believes that public opinion commands
the retirement of both Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Bryan from the field. AS to
Cleveland, Mr.. Halstead says: His
record forbids further chapters of Off

My Dear Sir: / read your article In
the Nebraska Independent of Septem-
Der II inst. It's good. Right to the
point. It is all concentrated in the
short platform of six lines at the clos
ing of your letter; that covers the
whole ground. That is populism, So
cialism and true democracy. / have
been battling for that platform for
% years and will continue to do so
until die. 1t is that or nothing with
me and no compromise.
We can accomplish nothing until we
get the initiative and referendum and
imperative mandate; then why not
come together and get it. I have been
acting with the peoples party since
it was born. Left the republican party
in '76 and voter for Peter Cooper
then was a greenbacker. I escaped
from the wreck of that party and
united with the populists. so you see
it has been a steady evolution from an
abolitionist to universal freedom and
love for all mankind, white as well as
black.
There are men enough who believe
in the platform In your letter to sweep
the two fossilized old parties out Of
existence; then why in Gods name
can't we get together and do 1t IN
1904? I am for the under dog In the
