The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1908-09-19

scented it as an attack on one OF their
ministers. The result was that In
diana was carried by Garfield, and the
Disciples vote is what turned the
scales.
The Nebraska republican state COM
mittee has arranged to have Myron
T. Herrick of Ohio speak IN Lincoln
soon, and his speech will be devoted
to opposing the bank deposit guaran-
tee plank of the democratic platform.
AS soon as the announcement was
made the democratic state committee
arranged to have Senator Owen of
Oklahoma speak, on the same day if
possible, in support of that policy.
1t is in no violation of confidence to
say that if the republican COMMITTEES
wants to make it a joint debate be-
tween Herrick and Owen there will
be no difficulty so far as the demo-
cratic committee is concerned
On Labor Day 5000 union working
ingmen in Lincoln paraded the streets.
When the parade passed under the
Taft banner on o street there was not
the ghost of a cheer. But when the
parade went by the Lincoln hotel, the
front of which is ornamented with a
huge portrait of Bryan, the cheers
were loud and long. Several unions
paused in the line to give three cheers
for the next president"
OF course this is only straw
At Youngstown. Ohio, one of the
chief centers of the Steel trust and
the Tube trust, 10000 steel workers
paraded before Taft, But the steel
and tube mills declared holiday ION
pay and the employees were given to
understand that they were expected to
parade. At the central point of the
parade an enthusiastic republican
! spectator shouted: Three cheers for
Taft But the cheering was desul-
tory. Then some one in the line
shouted: Three cheers for Bryan
and Immediately thousands of men
We're cheering, waving banners and
| fiinging their hats in the air. The AS
sociated Press did not report this, but
the local papers did.
First. the republican managers de-
rided Bryan because he dictated some
speeches into monograph. Then
they quit deriding him because Mr..
Taft proceeded to do the same thing
Then the republican managers de-
clared that Bryan was playing the
demagogue by appealing to the church
vote with his lecture on The Prince
of Peace and his letter on Missions "
They soon quit that. for Mr.. Taft felt
called upon to dictate to a photograph
a very nice speech on missions"
For a long time the republicans
pointed with pride" TO the fact that
their presidential candidates were dig
nified and remained at home instead of
gallivanting about the country and
denounced Mr.. Bryan for his rear
end haransues." They have changed
about and now are boasting about
how Mr.. Taft is making good as rear
| platform orator
| For a long time the republicans
pointed cut that Mr.. Bryan had had
but little legislative experience and
was therefore without the experience
necessary for chief executive. They
suddenly quit when it was pointed
out that Mr.. Bryan had twice as
much legislative experience as Abra-
ham Lincoln had before he was elect
ed. and that George Washington had alb
solutely none before he was elected.
The hot liner from Mr.. Bryan's bat
in the direction of Joseph G. Cannon
has already been scored at republi-
can headquarter as too hot to
handle.
Mr.. Taft declares that some of the
Dingley schedules should be revised
