ABOUT RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

One of the most important things
in the present campaign, and one
which has not been given the atten
tion it deserved, is the contest for
railroad commissioners, and this con-
test has just been brought prominent
ly to notice by the efforts of the op-
position to encompass the defeat of
the best man in the race, Judge Hum
phrey.
1t appears that under the new law
by which We vote this year, while we
elect three commissioners, and have
the right to vote of course for can
didates on opposing tickets, we can
not vote for two men who happen to
be placed opposite to each other
on the ballot. For instance, thous-
ands Of republicans have been intend
ing to vote for Mcmillan and Hum
phrey on the democratic ticket, and
Kanavel, who beat the railroad game
in the republican state convention, on
that ticket. This cannot be done
under the new law Kanavel, and
Humphrey being opposite each other
on the ticket. Hence they are com
PEELED TO vote for all three democratic
commissioners and sacrifice a good
man on their ticket, or else sacrifice
} the best man in the contest, Judge
Humphrey, in order to secure the
only acceptable man on their owr
ticket. Therefore, while we are en-
titled to vote for three men, We mus
not vote for two men placed opposite
each other on the ticket. 1t is simply
another trick of the railroad in
huences which have controlled affair
in this state for years, to defeat tn
people in their efforts to have an i'm
partial board. The democrat noml
nees are all first class men for tn
positions, but a republican who b
lieves he has one good man on hi
ticket in Mr.. Kanavel, does not relis
g the idea of sacrificing either him 9
Humphrey. The farther this cam
paign has gone, the more the railroa
influence has become apparent in th
REPUBLICAN organization. We kno
from persolal knowledge that ii
Democratic nominees were certife
- to the secretary of state in the ord
in which they we're nominated, ar
if there was any juggling in this
- spect, it wasdone by other peopl
", As it is, in order to secure results, Il
~ republican will of necessity be col
pelled to vote for the three democr;
~ ic nominees to get a board that "
80 do business. What will the voters
about it!

working together, it is safe to say the

here tonight which completely filled the
Auditorium and again did he miss a splen-
did opportunity to answer the pertinent
questions addressed To him by The Omaha
Bee regarding the charge that bis brother
in-law, r. S Allen chairman Of the demo-
cratic state committee. WAS tied up with
the railroads Of Nebraska in this cam
paign. Passing these important and per-
tinent queries, he took up statement in
a Lincoln paper and defended Tom Allen
for being the law partner Of A. r. Talbot,
attorney for the Missouri Pacific railroad,
and denied the story in an afternoon paper
that certain student here had been fur
nished transportation home to vote by the
democratic state committee. lie said in
substance regarding Tom Allen:
Il am not an only child. 1t has been
suggested that l have brother-in-law. He
has been criticised, chairman of the
democratic state committee. l admit 1

l admit A. r. Talbot il his partner. I
admit he is attorney for the Missouri Pa
cifc railroad. I rejoice this republican
paper. which supported him for state sena-
tor. is raising this point. Tom Allen is not
a partner in Mr.. Talbots railroad law
business. He is not connected with Il in
any way. He does not get a dollar out
of this business: The people here know
this He is the same kind OF partner
was, and never was the attorney for a
railroad. ! had the same experience Mr.
Allen is having. l only mention it to say
rejoice that even republican sentiment is
turned toward looking into a mans bust
ness record. 1 would to God they had
done It years ago. An evening paper
stated a young man was furnished trans
portation home by the democrats so he
could vote. have since talked with the
young man and he denied the story in toto.
I am authorized by Mr.. Allen to say the
democratic committee has not been prom
iSed or given free transportation from any
railroad and would not receive 1t II it were
| offered. ] am glad to make this statement
because the republican party has done this
for years and In one county it took 100
people out of the state on election day
opinion has grown. Isn't II encouraging
that we are not going to have. it again?
We have dreamed of IL a long time and
now it is coming true"

~ Z
Paris, France, Aug. 4 M. BRAND,
minister OF public worship. yesterday
received several Of his political sup
porters and discussed with them the
situation created by the pope's en-
cyclical letter to the French arch
bishops and bishops with reference to-
their attitude toward the la wfor
separation of the church and state.
M. BRAND denied that the govern
+ment was disposed to enter upon
negotiations with the pope for an un-s
derstanding based on the mod ification
of the law, which, he declared. must
be applied as II stands. NJ. Briands
added that the government believed
that the law would be accepted In
the end, and he sincerely desired that
1t should be SO On account OF the.
internecine strife which the refusal
Of the clergy to accept the law would
entail. but he had also foreseen the
possibility OF resistance and had TAX
en- all the necessary steps.
Il do not wish to say any more on
this subject, the minister conclud-

,lres Will prove a disagreeable sur
prise to certain parties. 81
