pie servants. He said that he believed
in railroad regulation which will reg

in government ownership. He at
tackled the tariffs that protect lumber

lumber trust. 1T is time we reduce
the tariff walls and let lumber pour
in," he said.

ut is too hot to make or to hear a
long speech" he said. $50 shall be
brief. But all l shall say, will be of
good cheer.
During past months, democracy's
future looked dark. But today we
see the dawning light. The principles
of democracy have been exonerated.
Today republicans all over this nation
are standing on principles put forth
by democracy in years gone by.
Refers to Bryan.
Mr.. McKillip's reference to Bryan
was applauded. To-day" he said,
"our leader is attracting more atten-
tion around the world than any other
man.
"Mr. Bryan, though twice defeated,
has done more during the past two
years to dominate American politics
than any other man. And when the
time comes that Bryan and his lieu
tenants throughout the length and
breadth of this land, shall rule, we will
all be proud to be Nebraskans."
Mr.. McKillip thanked the democrats
and populsts of this district for their
efforts in his behalf in 1904. He stat
ed that it was a magnificent perform
ance, in that it rolled back 10000 votes
