SAYS TAFT WILL CARRY NEBRASKA.
Ex-Congressman Thinks Prosperity of Farm
ers Will Hurt BRYAN

Former Representative William E Andrews, of
Nebraska, a caller at the headquarters of the Re
publican National Committee yesterday, said that
Taft and Sherman would carry Nebraska.
I'm 1896 Mr.. Bryan carried the state by 10000
said Mr. Andrews AT that time the farmers were
in financial distress, with mortgages their farms
and without money to pay their indebtedness They
accepted Mr. Bryan's financial policy in hope that
they would gain relief It was that sentiment that
gave Mr. Bryan the electoral vote in 1896.
Between 1895 and 1909 times became prosperous
and those who had been in distress able to
gain relief. In 1900 they were so prosperous that
they were satisfied have affairs remain as they
were. On this basis Mr.. Mckinley carried the
state by nearly 5000.
''The farmers have been exceptionally prosperous
throughout the state since. They have paid
off their indebtendess in large measure, and have
money in the banks. They are satisfied with the
policies of the present administration and they are
confident Mr.. Taft stands firmly and consist
emily carrying those policies to their logical
conclusion. Their, faith in Mr. Taft gives the best
that he will get the electoral vote of that
state"

DEMOCRATS AND THE NEGRO.

Republicans in the United States says that Amer-
can negroes cannot hope 10 receive justice at
the hands Of the Democratic party. For number
of years previous to his appointment Register
DR.. Vernon president of the Western University
of Kansas and he still retains that position, al
though on an indefinite leave of absence
Mr.. Bryan may be personally most estima-
bic gentleman said Mr.. Vernon, but the prin-
ciples represented by his party if put into execu-
ton, will bring disaster to all American interests
and continued sorrow 10
The Democratic party is dominated by the South
"a land of disfranchsement intimidation and sub
jugation of the rights of the American negro. and
the Southerners would of necessity either control
Mr. Bryans policy at least hamper his efforts
to give the negro equal and exact justice.
THE Republican platform has spoken out for the
protection of the negro he continued. Judge
Taft and Representative Sherman have declared
their allegiance to this policy in terms unmistak-
able The Democratic platform is silent on the
subject and Mr. Bryan declares that he has not
discussed the question of negro rights and priv
ieges II he has not-why not? We must take
nothing for granted"

TBy telegraph 10 The Tribune

Burlington. VT, Aug. sl.-Twenry-five thousand
plurality for George n. Prouty, of Newport, for
Governor tomorrow will satisfy most of the Re
publican leaders in the state. although Mr.. Will
iams chairman of the Republican State Commit
tee. tonight estimated the plurality rising to
5000. The Democrats have been working to reduce
the plurality to point below 20oo0, and if they
successful the result will be moral victory for
them.
New conditions have arisen in the state since the
phenomenal Republican plurality of 5000 at
tainsd twelve years ago. and nothing approaching
it is expected by any one. Some Republicans boted
wnen P. W. Clement independent candi-
date for Governor two years ago, and it is not GER
tain that all of them have returned to the fold.
Local 6issensions among the Republicans in nearly
all the large towns the State likely to result
in Democratic representatives to the Legislature
from most of these places. What effect these dis
sensons viii have the state ticket cannot be
foretold. The next State Senate will probably be
unanimously Republican. although the election of
of the Republican candidates in this county is
somewhat in doubt.
There will be an overwhelming Republican
jority in the Legislature joint ballot, assuring
the reelection of United States Senator Dillingham;
and the election of another Republican to fill out
