VOTE FOR LA FOLLKTr

La Toilette won out in Wisconsin.
The republican national convention de-
cided that the Spooner-Quarles gang
were the regulars but the supreme
court of the state has decided that
La Toilette is regular and has the
right to go on the ticket under the
name republican. Now the war has
broken out fiercer than ever 1t will
be the bitterest fight known in the
last half century on account of the
great graft involved and the future of
two United States senators. If La
Toilette is elected, it means the end
of the political careers Of Spooner and
Quarles. 1t also means several mil
lion dollars to the railroad corpora
lions of that state, and large num-
Der OF other corporations, including
TIC steel trust, which has got its
clutches upon the enormous deposits of
iron in Wisconsin. If La Toilette wins,

ring and the thousands of grafters who
have become wealthy by manipulating
conventions and controlling legisla-
lures, for La Toilette will introduce

HON. GILBERT M. HITCHCOCK

The peoples party convention for
the Second congressional district
unanimously renominated Gilbert M.
Hitchcock for congress- Ii was, how
ever. done with the understanding that
such nomination was made solely as a
personal testimonial to Mr.. Hitchcock
for the many good works he had ac-
complished at Washington. He has
been credit to the Second district and
has reflected more honor upon the
state than the entire bunch Of the re-
mainder of the Nebraska delegation to
congress. Though his opponent this
year, John L.. Kennedy, is a gentleman
OF much higher quality than Dave Mer-
GER, who Mr.. Hitchcock defeated two
years ago, and is therefore foe to be
feared, it is safely predicted that Mr.
Hitchcock will be returned to congress
for another term. because the people
OF his district have great faith in him
as an upright man who can not be
controlled by any baneful Influences

BRIBERY

Bribery has become more prevalent
in the United States than in any other
country in the whole world Our writ
ers are accustomed to point to Turkey
and China as horrible examples" in
that regard and they hold item up as
warnings to righteous Americans. But
bribery is not nearly so universal in
either China orl Turkey as 1t is in the
United States. There are very few Of
ficials in this country who are not re-
cipients of brides. In the first place
the president, every senator, every
member of congress, every Judge, all
the clergy, thousands Of lawyers, all
the governors, state officers and mem
bers of the legislatures, nearly all city
officials and many county officials ac-
cept brides from the railroads in the
form of passes.
Then the most of these officials re-
ceive brides from the Western Union
Telegraph company, from local tele-
phone companies, from gas companies.
from street railway companies and
many other sources. There was never
nation in all history where the Of
ficials SO universally accepted brides
as they do in these United States at
the present time. The decadent years
of Rome did not equal ii. The effort
being made in Nebraska to stop rail-
road tribing should receive the as
sistance of the whole body Of citizens.
Every populist nominee for state Office
or the legislature is pledged to use his
influence to pass law that will make
the giving Of free passes criminal
offence.

rule the country and divide the spoils
between them. 1t mas cost close to
$4,000 for the populists OF New York
to get the privilege of voting, besides
weeks OF work. Every county in the
state had to be visited, notaries hired,
and at least 5000 men hunted up who
would swear that they were going to
vote for Watson and Tibbles and the
other men named on the state ticket.
Of course that has caused a great deal
of bitterness. Now Judge Herrick,
who was deep in the plot to confine the
voters to two parties, and who has
been nominated tor governor by the
democrats, says:
II shall (if elected goveSnor) advo-

MIR. wATsoN,s LETTER

In striking contrast 10 the leLteTS
of acceptance of both Roosevelt and
Parker is the masteTful letter OF
Thomas e. Watson, the peoples party
candidate for president. It's chief point
of contrast to Roosevelt's letter is In
it's American tone of democracy,
though it is in accord with Roosevelts
in the courageous manner in which he
deals with live Issues. 1t is in con-
trast with Parker's letter because it
deals in manly, intelligent and cour-
ageous way with the issues before the
people, while Parkers letter was one
of the most cOwardly and ambiguous
letters that ever emanated from a
craven mind.
Mr.. Watson's letter shows clearly
that the real issue in this campaign is
between himself and Roosevelt. 1t is
between himself and Roosevelt, be-
cause Roosevelt has the courage to
present his platform and defend it,
while Parker evades every approach to
courage set forth in his platform. Even
where the St. Louis platform does take
any positive position upon public ques-
lions, Parker, if he has any convictions
at all, carefully evades the discussion
of them. He therefore nulllfies what
ever ~af virtue may be found in the St.
Louis platform. srss~-sssxs-
On the contrary, Mr.. Roosevelt Eseffss'
to recognize the MANY of his party
platform, recognizes it's deception and
it's fraudulent phases, but at least like
a man of courage, defends it. Parker
has better platform, but is sorry for
it, and wishes that it were more like
Roosevelt's SO he could hide his craven
spirit without detection Parker seeks
to hide behind his na>.orm, but peeks
through it's cracks and says, Don't
shoot. 1t don't mean anything, and
il you will only trust me, | will see
to it that it will not hurt you" Roose-
welt, on the other hand, steps out into
the open and says, This is my plat
form. / am here to defend it. If you
want fight, come on
And SO Mr.. Watson accepts the chal-
ienge. He buckles on the armor of a
righteous and noble cause, and makes
battle tor the common man. He
passes by the coward and accepts the
challenge Of the one who represents
his country's foes, but who neverthe-
less has the courage tc defend his posi-
ton.
Mr. Watsor's letter is the strongest
and most complete recital of the
wrongs from which his fellow men are
suffering, and the nearer to an APP
proach of remedy for them, than was
ever written by airy candidate accept
ing nomination for president. The
peoples party is to be congratulated
that it possesses : standard bearer in
lthiS campaign who has the courage to
force issues rszassl DEFY an answer to his
remedies. It is 20 be cong led
that it's candidate is not coward, but
has the courage of his convictions. An6
it is to be congratulated that the con.
victions of this man are such as viii
bear close analysis, and represent hin
as an economic philosopher who more
nearly approaches the standard set by
Henry George than any man for whom
the masses have voted for president il
the past. This letter will be widely
read and cherished by millions. I
