WATTERSON WANTS TOFIGH1

WATTRRSON WANTS TO FIGHT
At Bryan rally held in Louisville
last Thursday evening, Colonel Henry
Watterson was the principal speaker,
and predicted civil war if Taft defeats
Bryan and attempts to continue the
Roosevelt policies.
This is not the first time Colonel
Watterson has predicted bloody war
between the Republican and Demo
crotic parties. In 1877, when the
leading Republican and Democratic
Senators and Representatives in secret
conference at the national capitol met
for the purpose of discussing plan to
avoid trouble in canvassing the vote
for President and Vice President
cast in November, 1876, Watterson
was calling for a hundred thousand
armed Democrats to march on to
Washington and place Tilden in the
White House. At that conference
were such men as Edmunds of Yer.
mont, Sherman and Thurman of Ohio,
Blaine of Maine, Conkling of New
York and Randall of Pennsylvania,
the latter Speaker of the House at the
time. The result of the deliberations
of that conference was the introduc.
ton Of bill by Thurman, Demo
crat, creating the Electoral Commits.
sion. When the bill came before the
House, many of the Democratic mem.
bers followed the advice of Watterson
and attempted to defeat the measure
by filibustering. The critical stage in
the proceedings had been reached
when Speaker Randall rose above
partisanship and became a patriot.
His action as Speaker of the House
squelched the filibusterers in his party
and the bill creating the Commission
became law. For his splendid work
at q time when civil war was threat
ened, Randall was denounced by Wat
terson and alluded to as a car by
many Of the Democratic members Of
the house. The abuse heaped upon
Randall by his own party was mild
compared with what the Democratic
press and Democratic orators are now
saying about Uncle Joe Cannon.
There is no occasion for Colonel
Watterson to become excited and talk
of buckets of blood or an armed con-
fict between the members of the two
parties. He should be satisfied to let
ballots, not bullets, rule.

LATTA SHOULD BE DEFEATED.

LATTA SHOULD BE DEFEATED.
Chairman Stephens boasts about
the record made BY Mr.. Latta in the
last legislature. Let US see how he
voted on reform bills wanted by the
common people.
He voted against the Child Labor
Law, house roll 8.
He voted against the Direct Pri-
mary Law, house roll 405.
His was the only vote against the
Pure Food Law, senate file 81.
He refused 70 vote on bill to pre-
vent railroads going into the Federal
courts and enjoining the state from
collecting taxes, senate file 81.
He refused to vote on . bill to pre-
vent discrimination, senate file "a.
Mr.. Latta was pledged by his party
platform to favor every one Of these
needed reforms. If q state senator
violates the pledges Of bis platform, in
his state legislature. what would that
state senator do in congress?
Voters are requested to verify this
record by comparing it with the off,
cial report ofthe secretary Of the SEN
ate. Go to your court house, or to
any lawyer, and ask to see the senate

braska legislature.-Edgar Howard.

A NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY.

A NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY.
The Lumber Combine has some Of
the best lawyers in the country on its
paw roll and many of the shewdest
politicians are paid to represent it in
state and national affairs. Twenty
eight years ago, Senator Henry M.
Teller, of Colorado, at that time Secre'
tary of the Interior, and representa-
tive of the Lumber Combine-then in
its infancy-at the National Capital,
laid the foundation of this gigantic
monopoly which now has its tentacles
around the people. Teller has always
been the secret friend of not only the
Lumber Combine but also the politi-
cal agent of other monopolies. In
1896, as the representative of the sill
yer trust, he collected S2S8,oOO and
turned it over to Bryan's campaign
managers to be used in the effort to
defeat VIM. Mckinley. As the rep
resentative and political agent of the
sugar trust he has planned and schem-
ed to further the interest of that COM
bination in all the legislation that has
taken place since he entered the Sen.
ate. The venerable Senator from
the Centennial State belongs to the
Baily- McLauren-F Foraker class of
senators, but has been a trife more
crafty in his dirty work than the trio
above mentioned and has not been
"found out" With the exception Of
his connection with the Lumber Com
bine, he has covered up his tracks to
a certain extent.
There are men in Nebraska today
who, like Senator Teller, have not
been proven guilty of direct connec-
ton with unlawful combines, but
the we'll grounded suspicious attached
to there action has satisfied the public
that they belong and should be class.
ed among those who are in sympathy,
if not actually on the pay roll, Of the
Lumber Combine.
The practice of delegating judicial
power to some corporation tool to pass
judgment upon questions in which
trusts or monopolies are interested,
should be prohibited. A judge on the
bench, and not what is termed a ref
eree," should hear cases in which the
general public is 60 vitality interested.
The appointment Of a referee to hear
trust cases may be strictly in accord
ance with law, but if such be the fact
the law delegating judicial power to a
referee should be repealed.
Next to the grating senator and
representative, q corporation referee
is something to be guarded against in
the interest of public morals and a
pure judiciary.
There is q sentiment in both poIiti-
cal parties to take the election of
judges out of partisan politics. This
has been done in some states notably,
Wisconsin and New York, and it is q
fact that the supreme court reports of
these states are more often quoted and
are regarded As q higher standard of
authority than the supreme court
reports of states where the judicial
ermine is dragged in the mire of par
tisan politics.
If the amendment to the State Con-
stitution, providing for the appoint
ment of additional Supreme Court
Judges, is endorsed At the election in
November, Governor Sheldon will

RIDDER'S OPINIONS Of BRYAN!
Translated from. the Stats Zetung.
.His (Bryan's) election would surely
cause disturbance in the industrial and
economical development of the country"
1--WE deem Republican victory less
dangerous for the country than the cleo
ton of Bryan
Nothing better could happen to the
party than to be rid of this incubus"
Bryan)
HE (Bryan) does not possess real
knowledge or comprehension Of the prob
lens with which he seeks to concern
himself"
"Who selects him (Bryan) as an ally
INJURIES Democracy more than anyone else"
sOnly few intimate friends and blind
admirers of Bryan are still willing to fol-
low him. The miserable intrigues of the
man who would again incite the masses
cannot retard this process. Bryan's siren
uous activity will hasten his entire ami
hilation."

Mr.. Bryan insists that he is for q

sible for the Denver platform. The
Denver platform, regarding "Re-

holders were added, costing $685.

On the contrary, only 1924 new
Offices were created, including en-
ployed men in all departments, and
6142 having been omitted, the net
increase was only 1O,6S2-fewer than
half the number represented in the
platform. The net increase in sal
aries was 81, ZIG. $50, instead of the
sum stated in the platform.
But the difference in numbers and
amounts is less serious than the i'm
piled charge that the money has been
extravagantly expended. Among the
new "offices" created were 5000 sea-
men and nearly 5000 poetal employ
ees, mostly rural carriers. There was
also an increase in the rate of army
pay.
