CAMPAIGN IN The STATE
Senators Burkett and Brown Are Both
Of Them Addressing Voters.
MAKING AN APPEAL TO REASON
while Treating Democratic Candidate
Fairly; show WHERE His EIec-
tiOn would work Harm
to Country.

HUMBOLDT, Neb., Sept 24-(special)-
In spite of the fact that farmers are still
busy and many Of theme we're attending
the st. Joseph tournament, a good sized
crowd gathered this afternoon to hear Hon.
E. J. Burkett, United States senator. The
weather was all that could he desired and
the audience listened with close attention
to the line OF thought of the speaker, who
was accompanied by Rob Cain, jr, Of
Stella, candidate for state senator, who
also spoke to the crowd.
Senator Burkett urged his hearers not to
lose sight of the Importance Of this election
because of any feeling of state pride. He
also urged them not to be misled into be-
lieving that a democratic president could
not do anything harmful on account of the
fact that there will be a republican senate.
Continuing along this line. he said:
Il speak of this because occasionally we
hear somebody assuring us that Mr..
Bryan's election could not harm the coun-
try because there is sure to be a republican
senate for four years yet. and Bryan has
assured us that he will not take a second
term. In fact. Mr.. Bryan in his Des Moines
speech, minated that he could not do very
much of harm because congress changes
every two years and II they do not like his
way OF doing things they can change.
The senator submitted the fact that It was
not a very commendable argument to say
the least, and a doubtful compliment to Mr.
Bryan, yet he suspected that some votes
would be won by that argument. Continu-
ing. he said:
There are people who want just that
sort Of a condition, a condition where moth.
ing of legislation can be accomplished. Mr.
Bryan would not sign a protective tariff
measure that a republican congress would
t enact, and a republican congress would mo-
= enact a free trade tariff bill that Mr.. Bryan
would sign, and between the two we woulC
get no tariff revision. The result would b.,
Z disastrous In every place where Legislation
, is affected by party policies, In all tn
t history of this country. state and national
: there has never been any exceptionally goot
= legislation where the legislative and execu
tive branches were of different politica

Senator owen of Oklahoma, who spoke
here tonight, characterized President
Roosevelt's reply to Bryan as peanut pol

was disappointed in the reply. He said
the best evidence that the charges against

CROP PROSPECTS
NEVER BETTER
OPINION OF JAMES j. HILL. WHO
PREDICTS PROSPERITY FOR
FARMERS.

NEW YORK, June Thames J.
Hill has arrived in this city from
Washington and will remain here I'M
til the latter part of the week when
he starts on his annual fishing trip to
Labrador. Mr.. Hill would express no
opinions on political developments or
on business conditions except crop
prospects. The floods, he said, may
have done considerable harm in the
southwest, but in the northeast pros
poets are very good. The heavy rains
while drowning out some of the low
land crops has helped the wheat in
the uplands, so that in the whole they
have been beneficial Generally Mr.
Hill thought the prospects good for
bountiful crops and he called atten-
ton to the short supply of grain as
that this year harvest will
produce good money crop

mile further over its banks. Many
farmers have lost their entire crops.
