COMPOSING DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT

COMPOSING DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.
Mr.. Bryan has paved the way for his
regular quadrennial explanation by de-
claring in advance that the republicans
are preparing to buy the democratic
voters of the country. National Chair
man Mack has also fixed up his ex-
PLANTATION. He declares that Hearst
has ordered his supporters to vote di-
rect for Mr.. Taft in order to beat
Bryan. While it is certain that
neither of these assertions is true, the
fact that Bryan and Mack have made
them carries a confession of democratic
defeat at the polls on Tuesday.
Even the men who followed Bryan
to his two previous defeats will be dis
couraged when they find him and his
campaign manager preparing for an
other smashup. Encouragement seems
to have conquered both of them and
they are preparing to accept their de-
feat as philosophically as possible.
1t is doubtless true that most of the
minor parties are drawing support
from Bryan. Debs, Hearst, Watson
and Hisgen, former supporters OF
Bryan, are now fighting bitterly against
him. Two out of three votes cast for
these candidates will doubtless come
from Bryan and make his chances
hopeless, yet none of these candidates
is advocating or -countenancing the
support of Taft. They all realize that
with the third defeat of Bryan a reor-
ganization of the democratic party will
be inevitable and each candidate is
anxious to ecu as large a vote as
possible in order to have an influence
when the reorganization comes. That
by the way, is the secret of the ap.
parent support of Bryan by many of the
old school democrats. They know his
chances are hopeless and they are re.
establishing their party regularity
in order to have a voice in the coyncils
of democracy when it secures It's di
vorce from Organism.

INTEREST

The triumphant election of William
II. Taft is practically assured, with or
without the electoral vote Of Nebraska.
In other words, Mr.. Taft does not
need Nebraska half as much as Ne
braska needs Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft has comparatively little to
gain by having Nebraska's electoral
vote recorded for him, but Nebraska
has every interest at stake in keeping
in the republican column.
Nebraska has been steadfastly re-
publican since 1900, when it declined
to follow Bryan in his second battle,
and brought itself in accord with the
party in wv in national affairs.
Giving up a good seat in the front
row now in order to take a place on
the mourner's bench in the rear would
hardly be a good exchange.
Nebraska wants to keep on the po-
litical map. 1t wants to be accorded
suitable recognition in the councils of
the nation. It has untold resources,
for whose development outside assist
ance is necessary, but which will be
much more difficult to get if this state
is a political backslider.
On the other hand, if Nebraska stays
in the republican column where it be-
longs it will be entitled to proportion.

pendable states that stand firm fol-
progress and prosperity and refuses
to be beguiled by false prophets eveI
under the plea of state pride.
If the people of Nebraska CONSUL
their own interest they will vote at the
coming election for Taft and republican
success.

4 word TO FIRST YofERS.

1t is estimated that there are fully
SOC, 600 citizens in the United States
who, On November 8, will come into
the enjoyment Of full citizenship and
cast their first vote. More than one
half of these are native born and the
others are adopted citizens, and it is
of great Importance to these new
iedged citizens how they ally them
selves politically. The native born,
particularly, are still in the formative
stage of mental development, impress
sive, imaginative, impulsive, senti-
mental. Their effort should be to
overcome the influences of these imma-
ture characteristics and approach the
polls with their first ballot, after a
careful study of the subject and having
weighed ali the reasons that actuate

and records of the parties and the can.

THE REPUBLICAN RECORD.

Democratic spellbinders who have
been following Mr.. Bryan's lead and
laundering through the campaign maxi
ing all sorts of unsupported charges
have closed their wind-jamming with
the assertion hat the republican adj
ministration of President Roosevelt
has been a do-nothing administration.
If hat were true the Standard Oil and
other trusts that have felt the effects
of the Roosevelt policies and the
Roosevelt laws would not today be
making every effort to secure the cleo
ton of Mr.. Bryan in the hope of hav-
ing a four years respite.
In the first instance, President
Roosevelt has done more than any man
in accomplishing the f~ar-reaching
moral awakening of the American peo-
pie. His administration would have
a prominent place in national history
If he had done no more. But his ad-
ministration has kindled the fires of
civic reform and patriotism and has
forced practical changes for the better.
Unlawful ~monopolies have been
prosecuted as never before, as the
Standard Oil trust and the rebating
railroads will testify. The railroad
rate bill has been most effective in
checking and controlling the opera
tions of the ommon carriers. Irriga-
ton, forest preservation and the con
~servation of the national resources
have become fixed public policies. The
Panama canal has been decided upor
and most of the work of construction
completed. An emergency currency
measure has been enacted. Prepare
lions have been made for a revision o
the tariff and a general reform of tn,
currency and revenue laws. The ad
ministration has pissed laws to pro
tect wage earners in different occupa
tions. Great progress has been mad,
in bringing about better relations be
tween capital and labor and in main
tanning peace in traffic and production

In Pennsylvania he is being supported

the Standard Oil. MIR. Bryan, who is
usually as cautions as an elephant

norance of the character and afilia-
tons of his Standard Oil associates.
He has heretofore denounced most of
them for their connection with that
trust.
All of the trust managers are on

measures were not worthless, which
oughly surrounded with Standard Oil
advisers to whom he has put himself
under deep obligations hat no trust
officer would be in fear of going to
Jail and no combination in restraint
of trade would be dissolved. The
trusts know that with a republican
president and congress pledged to con
tinue the Roosevelt policies they will
get more a~nti-monopoly legislation
and continued prosecution when they
violate the laws. They know hat with
Bryan as president there would be
practically no legislation and that they
could therefore bring everything to q
standstill for four years.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

San Francisco Chronicle: Rev. DR.. f. f..
Baker, formerly pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church in Oakland and now manager
for a correspondence school. says that the
reason the churches do not draw larger
crowds is that they do not advertise.
''They nave the best line of goods in the
world" he says "and they ought to pre-
sent them in an attractive manner" There
seems to be something in that.
Boston Transcript; Rev. DR.. Theodore L.
Cuyler, pastor emeritus of the Lafayette
Avenue Presbyterian church in Brooklyn,
is nearly 81 years old. His theology is of
the old-fashioned. rock-bottomed type of a

compromisingly a defender of that faith.

4 SUBJECT FOR AMERICAN WORKMEN.
The American workman is more
deeply concerned in the tariff question
than in any other issue before the
American people. Under republican
rule the American industries have de-
veloped until our exports of manufac-
tured goods have doubled and doubled
again in twelve years. Under that
rule the wages of the American work.
men are the highest paid to workmen
in the world. These wage earners
must consider what the effect of a re-
vision of the tariff would be,
Both the republican and democratic
parties are pledged to a revision of the
tariff, The republicans propose to
make the changes needed along protec-
tive lines. They will fix the schedules
so hat the wages of American work
men will not be lowered by competi-
ton with foreign wages. The revision
by the republican plan will benefit the
workman, the manufacturer and the
consumer.
The Bryan plan proposes a revision
of the tariff on free trade lines. Its
only object would be revenue, with
all protective features eliminated. I'm
der free trade, as proposed by Bryan,
foreign-made goods would pour into
this country without any protective re-
s%traint. The workman who votes for
democratic tariff revision votes to re-
duce his wages and his opportunity for
employment.

BRYAN AND THE CoLoRED VOTE.

BRYAN THE COLORED IOTE
The Bryan ~forecasters who deign to
60 into details in indicating the sources
of the expected strength for the Ne
braska leader are calculating On n
greater or less negro detection from
Taft to Bryan in Ohio, Indiana and
other close states. This is an extreme
presumption on the ignorance of the
negro vote.
Mr.. Bryan has chosen to make his
campaign on the issue, Shall the peo-
pie ruler" Mr.. Bryan has not the
ghost Of a chance of election without
the vote of the south, and there should
be no colored man in the north who
does not know that the south is solidly
democratic solely by reason of its de-
nying 5000, 900 of its people any voice
or vote in ruling or in the selection OF
rulers. The criterion by which one
third of the population of the south
Is excluded from any share in the gov
eminent is the color of their skins
and Mr.. Bryan has publicly approved
the plans of southern democrats for
DISTINGUISHING them. If there are any
northern negroes ignorant of these
facts they are more ignorant than we
believe them to be. Mr.. Bryan's pre-
sumption on a race stupidity will not
be believed until it is demonstrated.

lican party began planning the resump-
ton of specie payment. The demo-
cratic party opposed such resumption
and advocated g%reenbacks and fat
money. in all legislation on the cur
rency question, the republican party
has stood for SQUAD money and the
preservation of tho national credit.
The democratic party has favored free
silver, the abolition of the national
bank and every financial heresy that
has originated in the brains of political
theorists.
The republican party has always
stood for the principles of the protec-
tive tariff. The democratic party has
ever stood for free trade, or tariff for
revenue only" or some such thin dis
guise for free trade. The democratic
party has beer in full power at Wash
ington once since the civil war, and
the greatest panic in the worlds his
tory followed its tinkering with the
tariff question.
When the non-partisan war be-
tween the United States and Spain was
fought to a victorious conclusion, un-
der a republican administration, the
republican party adopted a plan of pro-
lection and education for Cuba and
the Philippines to the end that they
might be prepared for promised self
government. The democratic party
has persistently demanded that the
half-civilized Filipinos be declared in
dependent and cut adrift to become
the victims of the loot of other nations
seeking domination of the Pacific.
The republican party, step by step
in spite of the burden of the wal debt
has carried this nation to a position
of the greatest wealth and power
among the nations of the world. II
has developed. American trade and
made the consumers of the world pay
tribute to the American manufacturer
farmer and .workingman. The freedom
of Cuba, the rescue of the Philippines
the Panama canal, the regulation o
railway rates, the correction of trus
abuses and the decade of splendid
progress and prosperity with the high
est wages ever paid to labor are tn,
most recent achievements of the re
publican party, against which must b,
set down a democratic record of fail
ure while in power and defeat on freal
issues in the last three national cam
paigns.
The republican party is in position
to continue the progressive Legislation
and the splendid policies of the las
twelve years The democratic party
if successful at the polls next Tuesday
could accomplish nothing for the mex

The democratic candidate for presi-
dent is a man with a past-more than
that the democratic candidate for pres
ident is a man with a past that con-
stantIy rises to haunt him. He is a
man with a past that, try as he may,
he cannot shake off. He is a man with
a past that makes it altogether too
hazardous a risk for the people of this
country to put him in a position where
they would have to take chances or
his future.
The democratic candidate for presi-
dent has a past which fills several
chapters.
When in congress he distinguished
himself as an o%utspoken advocate Of
free trade, a champion of free list
tariff bills that helped drive the coun-
try into panic and bankruptcy.
In his first presidential campaign he
entered the lists for 16 to 1 free
coinage Of silver, and insisted hat a
continuance of the gold standard

within a very short period would over
take us.
In his second presidential campaign
he declared the retention of the Philip
pines would destroy our popular form
of government and annihilate all our
free institutions.
In the 1904 campaign he embraced
the Wall street candidate for president
whom he had just previously de-
~nounced, M accused President Roose-
welt of being subservient to corpora.
ton influence.
In his third presidential campaign
he has discovered some new p~olitica
nostrums that commend themselves t.
sensible people as little as his othel
exploded theories.
A candidate with a past naturall!
~arouses distrust for fear he may face

THE TRUSTS WANT BRYAN.

The hate of Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt policies that burns in the
hearts of the Standard Oil magnates
has led John d. Rockefeller to spring
a political canard in which he seeks
to make his personal and corporate
unpopularity a means of securing votes
for William Jennings Bryan, the presi-
Dental choice of all of the Standard Oil
clique. With admirable cunning, Mr.,
Rockefeller truthfully asserts that Mr..
Taft, by ability, training and tempera-
ment. is better fitted for the presidency
than is Mr.. Bryan. 1t has been re-
corded heretofore that the devil can
quote scripture for his purpose.
The record of the last four years
furnishes abundant reason for Rookie.
f~eller's hate and his present desperate
effort to injure the chances of the re.
publican candidate. 1t was President
Roosevelt's firm refusal to compromise
with the criminal Standard Oil monop
loly that led Senator Foraker to bit
terly and persistently oppose all ad
ministration policies in the last con
gress. 1t was on the order Of Stand
ard Oil that Foraker started the fac
