Utica sun: When Jerry Mcmahon OF
Omaha rected at the Bryan Home Folks
meeting at F'airview a short time ago, Bry-
ans Chicago convention speech entire II
would have been just as we'll for the
peerless leader If Jerry had neglected TO
remember few OF the prophecies it con-
tanned.
Newman Grove Reporter: or the repub-
lican nominees twenty-five senators and
seventy-hve representatives have pledged
themselves. IL elected, to support and vote
for measures 70 carry out each OF these
promises. The names OF the senator and
representative from this district do not
appear in the list. Both OF these men are
verbally pledged to support the platform.
but It could do no harm TO sign this or a
similar pledge. They may have done SO
already. Wen ask them the FIRST time we
see them.
Schuyler Free Lance: Down in Omaha
where hold-ups, robberies, murders and
all sorts OF criminal outragas are everyday
occurrences the good people are beginning
TO register a protest and Mayor Jim Dahl
man is coming in for his share of the
blame. The records show that the five
months he has been mayor he pardoned
1l5 men convicted for petty offenses from
the county Jail and twenty-five more from
the city jail After the courts had con-
vlcted and sentenced them he was turning
them loose Well. Omaha elected the cow
boy mayor ON the liberal policy and there
should be no kick. All that class hustled
for Dahlman in the campo 'gn.
Blair Democrat: We have had little
to say about williams, candidate for rsil.
road commissioner. We believed that we
were telling the truth in what we pub
lished and we are more confirmed in that
belief now than ever before. The Omaha
Bee recently devoted several columns 10
the slack and indefensible record Of VIII
liams as county judge up in Pierce county.
There can be no possible way In which
the voters will DO fooled on this man. As
railroad commissioner he would come
mighty near making any railroad legisa-
ton farce. We should apologize for
devoting any space to him. The repub-
leans themselves seem to be placing him
where he will never harm anyone as the
result Of a public ONCE In this state. They
seem determined to send him out on the
lecture bureau.
Crete Vidette- Herald. The Omaha Bee
publishes the nine SPECIFIC promises in the
state platform and below It the signatures
OF over 100 republican candidates for the
senate and house, with the further declara-
. ton that "As the republican nominees for
our respective distuets we hereby pledge
ourselves, IL elected, TO support and vote
for measures that will carry out each OF
these promises" The signatures of sena-
tor Dodson and Representatives Culdice,
Johnson and Rohrer are attached. II prior
to election any republican nominees refuse
TO stand by the party pledges and fail to
sign this document, every republican IN
their districts will be JUSTIFIED and by right
ought 10 cast their ballots for their fusion
opponents. IL does not make any difference
even IL their opponents ere railroad lackies
elect them and let the odium attach to
the fusion party. The republicans have
started out 20 purge the party from cor
poration rule, and the party can never be
purged and reformed. II we persist In elect
ing men 10 the Legislature who will bstray
the people. accept passes and do the bid
ding Of the Claneys, the Ayers, the Can
adas, the Thompsons and the shallenber-
gers In the railroad ranks The only way
for party to reform is to reform in dead
earnest
Crofton Journal: A general cali seems TO
be going up asking for the resignation OF j.
A. Williams Of Pierce, candidate for state
railroad commissioner, from the republican
ticket. Evidence Of his treachery to Ed
ward ROsewater and his constituents seem
To be in such abundance as to warrant
demand for his resignation, MI Williams
ought TO come out with his side OF the case
II he has a denial He owes Il 20 the
voters ON the democratic ticket nlsl Il
candidate unworthy OF such a position. w.

his neighbors as a constitutional deadbeat
