fec+ed by Southern colonies and some western
r,oliticians The Republican Club OF the Uni

crowded with boys and girls. Mr.. Taft avoided

veIls and frequently applauded. In closing he
said:
am deeply touched at the reception have
received in this. the home Of Nebraskas most
distinguished citizen, and especially by the re-
ception I have received here at this institution
OF which he is doubtless a warm friend, as ne
is Of ali educational institutions
Mr. Taft's next audience was composed en-
tirely Of women. and he devoted himself largely
10 woman's influence in the world and to woman
suffrage. which he said. he expected TO live to

through the streets. one Of the most common

NEBRASKA SAFELY REPUBLICAN.
William H. Taft will receive Nebraskas
electoral vote by majority OF not less than
1900 and probably by 10000, unless every
political sign is to he disregarded- The farmers.
many OF whom voted for Mr. Bryan eight years
afraid to DO anything to disturb the unparalleled
prosperity they enjoying for the finan-
cial stringency did not affect this part of the
country and agricultural products have risen
steadily in price. There is almost no factional
disturbance in the Republican party in Ne
braska. Governor Sheldon, who is a candidate
for reelection, stands well, and the record of
the party in the state is satisfactory to all
concerned. The railroads have been deprived
Of their influence in the affairs Of the state. and
yet the legislation which followed of
reasonable character that the roads themselves
seem prepared 10 accept the situation and to
make no fight against the party in power
There is some misunderstanding regarding
Governor Sheldon's attitude with regard to the
guarantee Of hank deposits The fact is that
the Governor is more radical this issue
than Mr.. Taft. He believes IL the enactment Of
q law which would permit the banks volun-
tar1y 10 enter into a combination by which
those OF a given locality could guarantee each
others deposits. and no more But through
his support Of indefinite plank the state con-
vention rejected he is believed by many to
support the Oklahoma plank included in the
Democratic national platform. The temperance
question is UP in this state and viii prove

though the division is not along party lines.
Both parties declined TO deal with the subject
IN their state platforms The agitation for
county local option has gone steadily on. how
ever. and some candidates for the Legislature
in both parties pledged 10 support that
movement and others are opposed TO it, that
IL is local rather than partisan issue.
