dent Of this city and is 46 years of age.

Mr.. Marsh is keen, clear-headed,
far-sighted man. Reared democrat.
he has never swerved from the advo-
cacy of the principles Of jefferson. He
disagreed with Mr.. Bryan on the silver
issue in 1906 because he believed the
free coinage Of the white metal on the
basis proposed threatened the CONNER
cial fabric of the country. When Mr..
Bryan tacitly eliminated the free coin
age of the white metal from his politi-
cal creed, Mr.. Marsh, who is an ardent
tariff reformer and would curb the
cupidity Of the great corporations, fell
back into line and went to the support
Of the distinguished Nebraskan... t..I1-
Mr.. Marsh is eminently practical in

tains any desire for office himself, but
rather that he may assist his friends,

His political plans are carefully worked
