the attention of the voters with the
Roosevelt tidal wave of that year,
tells it's own story.
Do not be deceived. The oposi-
ton to the denomination of Mr..
Berge in the democratic state con-
vention emanates from business in
terests that are allies of the railroads,
which have only to be probed little
deeped to find the railroads them
selves.
Perchance there may be found here
and there an individual whose brain
weighs only twelve ounces to the
pound who is capable of believing
that one of the ablest and bravest ex-
Founders and defenders of democratic
principles is objected to by democrats
on the ground that his entrance into
the party is through a populist gate.
But such, if there be any, are objects
of pity rather than of blame.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-07-26
Berge in this county demonstrates
his power as vote getter.

In 1904 the farmers did not turn
out to political meetings to any con-
that George w. Berge, the fusion can
didate for governor, made his large
gains in the cities and towns Of the
state where the voters had an oppor-
tunity to attend his meet 'ngs and hear
him speak. He made enormous gains
in every city and town where he spoke
during the campaign.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-07-26

The publishers Of The Independent
want agents everywhere to canvass
for subscriptions and sell Mr.. Berge's
new book, 1.-THE FREE PASS BRl
Berry SYSTEM" See advertisement
of book elsewhere in this paper. We
receive hundreds of orders through
the mails. 1t is the only book writ.
ten upon subject In which the PEG.
pie are just now vitality interested.
The people everywhere will want the
book. Ex-Governor Larabee of Iowa
ordered ten books before same were
off the press. We receive orders from
all parts OF the country. This book
is seller. All you have to do is to
tell about it. You can make 500 per
month. Write at once for terms.

FOR BEReE
(From the Albion Argus.)

(From the Albion Argus.)
The more we think the situation
over the more we are confirmed in
the conclusion that Hon. George w.
Berge should be nominated for gov
ernor. While we would like to see
him attorney general yet, after con-
sidering the great fight he put up two
years ago, it would be asking too
much to ask him to run for anything
short of governor.
He is a man of principle. Like
Watson, Bryan, Folk, LaFollette and
others he is bigger than any hide
bound party. He has always affiliat-
ed with the reform forces in the state.
Last year he was known as a demo
crat We don't care for that if he
is the right kind-one of the Folk
variety. That he is of that kind is
fully demonstrated by his speech here
the fourth of July as we'll as by his
conduct the past fifteen years.
He is no pass holder nor trust apo,o-
gist. He has never been employed in
railroad cases, hence they have no
strings on him. While all this is true
he is not fanatical Or anarchistic.
Populists should go to their state
convention and nominate him regard
less of whether there is another party
on earth. He is destined to become
the Folk of Nebraska or the LaFollette
of Nebraska or the Roosevelt of the
United States
The democrats shauld also go to
their convention and do likewise If
they care half as much about prin-
ciple as they say they do then let
them stand with Berge for principle.
Let them forget that there is pop
or a pop convention in all the land
and do business without any more
sham counting.
Berge has not lost anything since
the last campaign. Had it not becn
for the strong Roosevelt wave at that
time he would have been elected.
There is no such wave this fall. Now
is the tine to elect him. Now is the
time to wrest the state from railroad
control.

No one can be found to dispute the
fact that George w. Berge received
phenomenal vote in his race for the
governorship in 1904. Several tests
have been made by polling the voters
in different sections of the state this
year and each and every test shows
Mr.. Berge to be much stronger with
the voters now than ever before. Fl s
platform and principles have been
published so that all are familiar wi h
them, and they stand unchallenged
His nomination is vigorously opposed
by the railroads of the state.

expensive and degrading. But, we
must remember that it is self imposed
self imposed through our ignorance,
or our neglect to exercise the powers
vested in us whereby we may make
the government what we will
The government of Nebraska, I'M
masked, is the railroad ?elevator-lum-
Der combine. 1t governs the state
through the medium of two political
parties, namely, the republican and
the democratic. This combine gov
ems through two parties because it is
cheaper as well as safer for them 10
use two instead of one. If it sought
to govern through one party alone,
the other party would expose the
game, define the issue and appeal to
the people in which case the over
throw of the corporations and the
triumph of the people would speedily
follow.
The acknowledgements owned
in New York-are the chief conspira
tors, upon the favoritism of which
the two others depend for their ex
istence The dependence of the ele
vator and lumber combines upon rail
road favoritism make the men en-
gagged in those occupations political
allies and tools of the railroads They
together with their army of attorneys
and employees, to which must be added
the banks holding the deposits of the
combine and those bribed by the
means of the free railroad pass, con
stitutes the railroad political ma
chine that permeates both political
parties and makes up a small but re
spectacle portion of the citizenship
of our cities and towns.
The railroads alone collect from the
people of the state over $10,00000(
annually in excess of just and reason
able charges. Through collision with
the railroads the dealers in grain
live stock and lumber, mulct the pee
pie of twice as much more. In other
words the cost Of railroad government
to the producers Of the state approx
mates thirty millions annually in add
ton to the taxes people pay upon theil
property.
Do you wonder, then, that the bene
fciaries of this plumber fight for the
privileges they enjoy? Is it not plair
the interest they have in maintaining
the established order of things? Ant
ought it not be plain what they NEAR
