LINCOLN Neb. Nov 5.-(Specia)--
Chairman Warner. OF the republican state
committee, and Chairman Allen. Of the
democratic state committee, have issued
their final statements concerning the cam
paign and It all now rests with the voters.
AS has been stated number of times, the
democrats this year have been making an
organization for the contest of next year
and this Is shown by the statement of Mr..
Allen. II Judge Letton fails to get as large
a plurality as President Roosevelt the
democrats will claim a victory, so it will
be up to the republicans to give him the
Roosevelt vote.
Chairman warmers Statement.
Chairman Warner OF course. expects
success for the republican candidates with
the usual republican majority. The vote
this year. both chairmen agree. will be
much lighter than the vote Of a year ago.
Chairman Warner, as last statement to
the voters. has this to say:
The state Is safely republican. But
nevertheless every republican should vote.
Republicanism is no less popular this year
than last, but many who are busy win
neglect their duty as voters, ana the total
will be considerably less than last year.
The opposition is worse off in that respect
than we are so We will maintain our rela-
tive majority, based upon the average voted
for the state ticket last year. The people
and that confidence will be evidenced by
the vote on Tuesday. Our candidates and
platform are heartily approved in every
precinct ia the state. There is no disaffec-
ton on the state ticket anywhere. The
republican majority can be reduced only
by overconhdence and neglect OF republic
cans.
The opposition. through their committee,
are explaining what their platform means
and what their candidates stand for. A
republican platform needs no explanation
from the committee, nor is Il necessary to
say what our candidates viii do IL elected:
The position OF the party has not changed
since the platform was adopted, and the
party means what Il said then. The can
didates are as popular and clean as any
ever nominated by any party, and stand
upon the platform. If republicans do their
duty by coming out, our majority will be
a splendid one.
Statement by Democrats.
Chairman Tom Allen of the democratic
state committee issued the following state
ment:
The campaign Just closed has been list
less and quiet. There have been no meet
ings to speak of; In fact, It would have
been Impossible 10 arouse much enthqsi-

from voting, but on the contrary II means

mittee has been In touch with public senti-
,ment and an am sure our party will make
The people doubt the sincerity Of the re-
publican convention, when 1t declared
last legislature is too recent to escape
their notice, and, while the election this
year means little from the viewpoint of

next year do not care to indulge Ia any
say II will not be at all surprising IL the
plurality OF nearly 10000 for Roosevelt
last year is changed to democratic ma
The recent insurance investigation has
confirmed the charge heretofore made by
those in position TO know that republican
success in the past has been due to the
enormous campaign fund contributed by
the trusts; corporations and insurance com

curious TO know what it was.

per cent of the vote of last year.
