Alex Bear and II. w. Winter.
The city caucus was called to order
by Chairman Flynn of the county CEN
trail committee. He said that he had
represented Norfolk at the central
committee meeting and that he had
thought that the most satisfactory
way of choosing Norfolk's part of the
delegation would be through a mass
caucus of the democratic voters.
DR.. A. Bear was elected chairman
and August Brummund secretary OF
the caucus. About thirty democrats
were present.
After the delegates had been elect
ed the following resolutions were
adODted:
1--WE, the democrats of Norfolk pre-
cinCt, in convention assembled, reaf
firm our allegiance to the cause of
democracy as advanced by that peer.
less leader, William J. Bryan.
1--WE view with delight the vindica-
ton of those principles which he has
so honestly and fearlessly championed.
1--WE heartily indorse him for the
democratic nomination for president
of the United States and invite all
people irrespective of party affilia-
lions who believe in divorcing our
greed of corporations and replacing
it in the hands of the people, to join
with us in electing our great citizen,
w. J. Bryan, to the Office of president
of the United States which he so just
ly deserves.
Further, the delegates elected are
hereby instructed to support only such
delegates to the national convention
at Denver as will pledge themselves
to the support of the nomination Of
our citizen, William j. Bryan"

Why Nebraska Should be For Taft

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 26.-Nebraska
was one of the first states to fall in
with the Roosevelt movement for a
cleaner and more popular form of
government. The history of the new
era" in American politics is well
known. 1t has not been written long.
President Roosevelt stepping into
the Office of chief executive upon the
death of Mckinley, soon began to
make his strong personality and in
fluence felt throughout the country.
Up to Roosevelt's time presidents
had been just as honest but they had
been less aggressive. William Nc

lean people, was man of high ideals
and spotless character, but he was
not given to trouble.seeking and sell

man. of strong character 1t is true,
but nevertheless not of that type
which is best described by the ener-
getlc Roosevelt's own word, "strenu-

So it was that up to Roosevelt's
time affairs of government and of
finance had gone on in about the same
even way and evils grew to enormous
size before the people even recognize
ed their presence. Again, the Amer
lean people had been so busily en-
gagged in their daily tasks, in the work
of recovering from the bad results of
a democratic administration of nat

for the examination of economic and
political conditions.
But great prosperity soon brought
more time for reflection, and to near
ly everybody it brought a desire to
take part in the general affairs of

1T SAVED MY LIFE
WRITES ECZEMA PATIENT
Bed-ridden Sufferer Completely Cured
by Use of D. D. D. External Wash.

bed-rldden SUFFERER Completely Cured
by Use Of D. D. D. External Wash.
One of the most remarkable eczema
cures recently credited to the we'll
known D. D. d. prescription has just
been recorded in Chicago.
Mrs. e. Hegg, 1850 West Madison
street, under date of Dec. 9, 1907,
writes as follows:
Il suffered three years with weeping
eczema, 1t started with a little spot
on my knees and spread fast over my
whole body. | spent hundreds Of dol
lars and went to every good doctor |
heard of, but kept getting worse.
Nothing would stop the awful itch and
burning.
Il had to stay in bed from the mid.
die of May to the middle of July.
Then | tried ID. d. d. prescription.
This is the 9th of December and | am
entirely free from the terrible disease.
ID. ID. d. saved my life.
when | began this treatment, peo-
pie were afraid of me, looked so ter
rible, My husband was the only one
who would take care of me. d. ID. d.
stopped the itch at once so | could
sleep which | had not done before.
Then | began to get better fast and
nov my skin is clear and white, not a
spot anywhere"
Just a few drops of d. D. d. pre-
scription applied to the skin brings
relief-nothing to swallow or drink.
We vouch for d, d. H. prescription.
also the cleansing d. d. d. soap.
