country that the things which w. j.
Bryan has espoused have not been Put into
effect, for disaster would have been sure
TO follow. The calamities from which the
country has been saved by letting the
people rule and voting down Mr.. Bryan
are free trade. free silver and imperial
ism and government ownership Of railroads.
The republican party legislates for all
classes and it is an improper argument for
Mr.. Bryan to try to array one class
against another in this country.
Mr.. Bryan's mind runs along theoretical
lines which, II put in practice, would bring
calamity upon the people"
Mr.. Baldrige spoke in behalf of the legis-
lative ticket and for MIR. Jefferis. showing
that under republican administration the
public utility corporations were now pay
ing one-fifth of the tax Of the city whereas
in 1880 they paid but one-fourteenth OF
the tax.
Stay with Party that Is Right.
Stay with the party which is right and
does the most good for the country and
do not be led astray by false arguments
said John L. Kennedy, former congress-
man from this district. The democratic
party has abandoned policy after policy
until today 1t does not know where It
stands"
In speaking of the subject of home rule
Mr.. Kennedy, who is a member OF the
Board Of Fire and Police Commissioners,
said that he was in favor of home rule
and Of electing the members Of the board
by the vote OF the people 30 their re-
possibility would be direct and so the
yeople could settle with them for their
acts. He said he was perfectly willing to
be legislated out of office by an amend
mani to the pbartar 70 that aFfaat
On the question of bank guaranty Mr..
Kennedy said the people Of the prosperous
west were not willing to have their banks
coupled up with the giant Institutions OF
Wall street engaged in promotion and
speculation. He said that IL the banks
had to stand together in guaranteeing
losses they would also get together In
sharing profits and would fix the rates for
depositors and borrowers and would have
combination instead Of competition.
a. w. JefferIs should be elected so il
would not be necessary for Omaha TO go
to a resident OF Kearney or Lincoln to
get what It is entitled to-" added Mr..
Kennedy. This is too important a dis
trtet not to be represented and have some
thing to say concerning legislation effect
ing the western country"
Who is COIOred Mans Friends
DAA I uuut4taAlnakN the value OA your
suffrage" said w. Allison Sweeney, editor
Of the Indianapolis Freeman, in addressing
| the Foraker (cOlored) club AT IdleWild hall
Thursday night. You don't realize the
value of your vote to the man who Is ask
ing for It.
The republican party is all right, II has
been right since the time Of JOIN Brown
and Lincoln. The things that fitted IN
twenty-five years ago don't fit in now. Men
die. great leaders may go astray and turn
back the issues that have made them, but
the principles Of the party live forever. 1
am going TO vote the republican ticket and
help TO elect W. II. Taft OF Ohio, because
OF the difference between the two parties.
We are an integral factor in this common
wealth and the same argument which might
induce a white man for Bryan cannot in
flucnce US
The history Of the country as II is
recorded tells US that one party has always
been against US and the other has always
been with VA, and that party is the repubii-
can party. II Is enough for US to look back
At the record and see who has always been
