starts with Declaration He Would Not
Talk Politics and Then Makes
an Indirect Appeal for
Votes.

LINCOLN, Sept. 4--(Special. )-Nebraska'
fortieth annual fair the greatest ever held
in the state, both in point of attendance,
in exhibits. in interest and real enjoyment,

morning was devoted to a parade of the
prize winning live stock and Lberatti band
concert, and the afternoon to a speech by
William j. Bryan. dedicating the new audi
torium and TO another band concert.
Mr.. Bryan was given a most cordial re-
ception when he entered the auditorium,
and during the delivery Of his speech In
beginning he announced that 1t had been
published that he intended to talk politics,
but he said this is no time nor place for
politics. Then he sailed in and delivered
one of the most artistic appeals to the
farmers of Nebraska for votes ever heard
on similar occasion. Under the guise OF
talking nonpolitcally, he complimented the
the builders of the hall, the music and
most everything else and urged the farmers
TO educate themselves so that they could
mango the affairs Of government. He told
them they were paying too great a part
of the public expense and he gave the In
ference that with his own election would
come relief.
Mr.. Bryan did not tell the farmers that
they themselves were I'm control of the
state government and of the republican
party. He did not tell them that Nebraska
has a farmer governor, farmer secretary
of state, a farmer state treasurer, u
farmer sttae auditor, a railway commits.
sion composed of three members each of
whom owns farm and who deal in live
stock. He did not tell the farmers that
Nebfaska's republican state superlntend-
ont 10 anh Nav
torney general was a farmer boy, and SO
did its republican land commissioner He
did not tell them the majority of the re-
Publican legislature Is composed Of farmers.
Mr.. Bryan did not tell his farmer audi
ence that the republican party believes the
farmer is sufficiently educated now tc
manage the state government or any other
government. He gave the farmer no rea.
son why he should this year repudiate his
own republican party.
The presidential candidate was in fine
form and the immense crowd enjoyed tC
the utmost his eloquence, whether they
agreed with his statements or not.
During the week the state house has beer

CONTESTS FOR STATE PLACES

Ashton c. Shallenberger is slowly creeping
ahead Of Mayor Dahlrnan in the race for
the democratic nomination for governor.
The work of csnvassing boards as made
known Friday reveals in nearly every in
stance slight gain for the Alma man,
which, IL maintained, is certain TO land
him in the leeading position on the tickets
Returns sent The Bee from the various
county boards specify whether democratic
or populist ard It appears there is only
the remotest ground for contest in the
claim Of Dahlman that popullst and demo-
cratic votes are being added together.
Friday was set apart by the majority Of
the county clerks for the official canvass,
and in many places the final figures for
the entire ticket will not be known for
several days. In Douglas county, the can
vsss may continue until the close of next
week.
A compilation Of the figures complete in
nine counties, Including Douglas county,
shows the leaders to be Barton for auditor,
Bishop for state superintendent, Cowles for
land commissioner and Williams for rail,
way commissioner upon the republican
ticket.
Westover is being given race for flrs.
position in the Sixth congressional district
by Johnson of Rushville. The returns 80
far received are from the extreme western
section of the district When the east
begins to add its vote. westover's friends
believe he will win. Other congressional
fights have been determined practically,
save in the First district on the democratic
ticket where returns are too incomplete to
indicate whether Mcclure or Fitzsimmons is
ahead. Gilbert, In the Fourth district,
maintains his lead over the field, as had
been predicted.

ARGUMENT In
RETTEW CASE
Salient Questions will be
Passed on in Argument on
Demurrer This A ternOOn

Argument is to be made before Chancei-
lor Nicholson this afternoon on denur-
rer in the case Of the Levy Court against
the bondsmen Of Horace G. Rettew as re-
ceiver of taxes and county treasurer OF
New Castle county. 1t will be recalled that
the Chancellor has granted a temporary
order restraining New Castle county from
proceeding to collect from the bondsmcn
of Rettew the amount Of taxes the latter
collected and failed to turn over to the
county.
A demurrer has been filed to the original
bill. and it is on this that argument Is to
be made. The points involved are the con-
stitutionality Of the law that empowered
Rettew to collect delinquent taxes. Syl-
vester d. Townsend, Jr., will argue in be-
half Of the Levy Court, and Robert H.
Richards, Benjamin Nields and David J.
Marvel are counsel for the bondsmen.
The bondsmen contend that their LA
bility for Mr.. Rettew's official actions ter.
minated when the Legislature passed q
law three years ago empowering Rettev
to collect delinquent taxes outstanding,
his shortage occurring after the law wa'
passed. Mr.. Townsend for the county
arIIed that the supplemental law passe-
by the Legislature is unconstitutional
and even II 1t should be constitutional Il
did not relieve the bondsmen froin liza
bility under the original law.
AS these are the salient legal questions
involved in the case they in all probabllit.
will be determined by Chancellor Nichol-
sons decision on the demurrer.
