the time came for naming the mem
bers Of the State Central committee.
Mr.. Thompson Of Grand Island who is
a shrewd politician and was chairman
Of the resolutions committee would
wait quietly and whenever there was a
district called which was not repre-
scented he suggested the member.
Mr.. Thompson personally named seven
members Of the committee; he him
self Is a member; Tom Allen, organs
brother-in-law, was chairman,
The Abilene man who watched it
all asks: sis this better than the
old fashioned wickedness in politicsP
Much Of the organization was slated
in advance. Will any sane man be-
lieve that the committee wrote and
perfected National Democratic plat
foam In less than two hours and had
typewriter copies made Of which Mr..
Bryan had one and Chairman Thomp-
son anotherp The candidates elected
at the primaries selected the delegates
to this convention after the candidates
had been elected"

The tight money market is having
one good effect. 1t is making it more
difficult for the wildcat investment
promoters to exist. Within recent
years many millions Of hard-earned
and ill-spared dollars have been hand
ed into the possession Of strangers,
solely on the strength Of advertise
ments promising fabulous returns.
Almost invariably the stocks thus
alluringly offered have been unbacked
by tangible security, representing
only the capitalization Of an idea.
In very few instances these blind
speculations may have brought profit
which 10 pretty sure to be lost in the
next venture; in many cases the
dividends which allure to further in
vestments were obtained from the
money Of fresh victims; but in the
great majority Of cases principal and
and interest have gone together. The
promoters kept the cash and the in
vestors acquired the experience. -
1t is sign Of returning financial
sanity that the hali-page and whole

these promoters appeal-are learning

Candidate Stubs appears to hav'
some troubles Of his own at home
The Lawrence Gazette tells about Il

Mr.. Stubs would run for the legisla'
ture in his own district again, and be
nominated and elected without oppo-

himself as candidate for the state
senate from the Douglas-Jefferson
district.
Gan this time Mr.. Stubs was out
Of town doing Chautauqua stunts and
making United States senatorial med
icine for himself. He returned home
the other day and started something.
The report says that he went imme-
diately to Mr.. Brady, who has been
generally supposed to be the 'Stubbs
candidate for the senate, and told
him plainly that he, Stubs. would
be a candidate for the state senate,
and that he expected to be elected be
cause be bad earned the place by two
successful terms in the lower house.
1t is said there was a general house,
warming between Mr.. Stubs and Mr..
Brady, and it is also reported that
Mr.. Brady told Mr.. Stubs that he
would continue to be a candidate
