According to the Osceola Record,

Republican in the Eighteenth Senate

ate. The Record, in support of its
contention, published a list of bills in
troduced by the senator from Polk at
the last session of the legislature. and
mentions several other measures which
he championed. The pass bill heads
the list, but the Record neglected to
state that the pass bill introduced by
Senator King provided for granting
passes to lawyers. King may be all
that the Record claims, but there are
many Republicans in Nance and Mer-
rick counties, and not a few in Polk
county, who take little stock in Kings
pretentions as a political reformer.
When the local option bill was before
the senate King made long speech in
favor of the measure, and a few days
later "hedged" by introducing a bill
which provided that beer containing
two per cent of alcohol should not be
considered intoxicating. Did the Rec

Candidate Howard has commenced
the publication of the Fremont Fair
play. The paper is devoted almost
exclusively to Mr.. Howard's candi-
dacy for congress in the fight he is
making against Jim Latta for the
primary nomination. Mr.. Howard is
a printer, owns a printing office and
uses printers ink and white paper.
Aside from a personal canvass it is the
only way Mr.. Howard has to get in
touch with the Democrats of the Third
district. Jim Latta has another way.
He is not printer. He is q banker,
and his money talks for him. Mr..
Howard alleges that Mr.. Latta is
making a check book campaign; that
Chairman Stephens has been hired by
Latta to conduct his campaign, and
that even the Fremont Tribune. a
Republican paper and organ of the
grain trust, has not been immune from
the money in the vaults of the Teka-
NAH mans bank. One thing certain,
a good sized row is on among the
Democrats of the Third Congressional
district which is liable to split the
party and increase Judge Boyd's
majority in November.

BRYAN AND THE FARMER.


Mr.. Bryan's appeal to the farmer'
for money to run his campaign j:
based upon this singular proposition
The farmers are getting good prices
for farm products and making good
money under republican policies
therefore, they are requested to turn
over to Mr.. Bryan some of the good
money they have made under long
republican period Of prosperity in or
der to bring about "a change!'
This strange proposition runs so
counter to the farmers usual habit o1
thought that it is going to be difficult
for Mr.. Bryan to convince him that q
change is desirable. Ordinarily,

ing his farm is exceptionally profit.
able he continues that method and is
loath to listen to the theory of some
tramp who comes along to persuade
him he ought to abandon his paying
crops and try something else whose
value has not been demonstrated.
1t is still more difficult to convince
the farmer if the peregrinating tramp
happens to be the same fellow who
came along the road twice before on
the same errand and prophesied the

REVIVING THE 4. p. 4.

Some of the more bigoted editors of
the Democratic press have found a
new issue which they imagine will
advance the interests of Bryanism.
They have discovered that Candidate
Taft is a Unitarian, and strongly
assert that Unitarianism is opposed to
Christianity; that Unitarianism is
worse than Mohammedanism. The
Journal does not know whether Mr..
Taft is a Unitarian or not. 1t would
be nothing to his discredit if he were.
The simple fact that q candidate is .
church member or q non-church men,
ber should not be taken into consider
aticn by voters. Religion is not an
issue in this campaign. Mr.. Taft is
an American citizen. His ancestors
fought in the war for Independence
which resulted in severing the ties
that bound the colonies to the mother
country, and made it possible for the
adoption of constitution which grant
ed every man the right to worship
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan
and every man in America is enjoying
that privilege today.
twill be remembered that not many
years ago an order known as the Amer
ican Protective Association was organ
lied for the purpose of discrediting the
Catholic religion, but the sentiment
against orders of this kind was SO
strong that it passed away after brief
existence. The attempt of Democratic
politicians to galvanize into life the
corpse of the American Protective
Association for the purpose of advanc-
ing the political fortunes Of Mr.. Bryan
by prejudicing voters against Mr.. Taft
on account of his alleged religious
belief, is contrary to the principles for
which our forefathers fought and upon
which this government is founded.

George w. Berge has made no open
statement on the local option question,
but his rivals for the democratic
gubernatorial nomination have placed
him on the side of local option, and
some of his opponents have called him
q prohibitionist. When Mr.. Berge

campaign slogan, Let the People
Rule"
The phrase jingles nicely and ex-
presses an uncontrovertible philosophy
a principle for which all intelligent
people stand-but not in the sense in
which Candidate Bryan desires it to
be taken. With Candidate Bryan the
phrase means LET Me Rule; no more,
no less than that; just exactly that.
No people at any period Of the
worlds history have impressed their
will for honest, intelligent, capable
and progressive rule on any govern
ment, more than have the people Of
the United States on their government
during the presidency of Theodore
Roosevelt. Through him the people
have been ruling and their highest
standards of equity and morals, hon.
esty and square-dealing have been
enacted into the laws of the land 50 far
rs our statutes did not already contain
them or new conditions made new
necessary to proclaim those
principles. The people have been
ruling and Candidate Bryan's slogan,
Let the People Rule" is first an un-
comedy 80 far as he is con-
cerned, and second, perhaps unappre-
ciated by him, a direct appeal for
support Of the republican candidates.

home support of his party associates at
the primary election Sept. !st. He is
making a vigorous canvass for the
nomination of State Railway Commits

position he is capable of filling with
out prejudice to the interests of rail-

A HOME ENDORSEMENT.

At a meeting of the Republican
County Central Committee of Butler
county held in David City, the follow.
ing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Be it Resolved: BY the Butler County
Republican Central Committee. that We
most heartily endorse the candidacy Of
VIM. Husenetter of LinwOOd for the
Office of Public Land Commissioner.
In support of his candidacy We wish
to mention some of the services he has
rendered his party. He has been pres.
ent at every county convention for thirty
years. He has served the senatorial dis.
trict On the State Committee for ton
terms. He has reDresented this county
as delegate in every state convention
for % years. He has served three terms
on the State Executive Committee. He
has served two terms as chairman of our
Republican County Central COMMITTEES
and is now serving the third time. He
has never accepted political Office car
rying salary with it. In these various
capacities he has always stood courage
ously for the best interests of the party.
He has been thoroughly in sympathy
with the recent policies Of Roosevelt,
and two years ago was strong advocate
for the election of Gov. Sheldon. Mr.
Husenetter has common interest with
the farmers and shippers Of the state in
the enactment of the Roosevelt policies,
as he owns and operates large ranch at
Linwood and is vigorous advocate of
these interests.
In this endorsement of VIM. Husen-
etter for Land Commissioner We wish to
call the sttentien of the voters Of the
state of Nebraska to the fact that Butler
county, since it's organization more than
forty years ago, has never had state
Office nor deputy.
Mr.. Husenetter has been q resident
here for forty years and We do not hesi-
tate to present bis name, as we consider
that it is only justice to his long service
for the party.
The friends of Mr.. Husenetter in
Platte and adjoining counties will be
pleased to learn that his candidacy is
meeting with favor throughout the
state, and every indication points to
his receiving a heavy vote at the pri.
mary election the first of September.

Mr.. Bryan says the Republican
party is responsible for all the abuses
that now exist. If this is true, then
the Republican party is also response
bic for the prices of farm products, the
price of real estate and the wages paid
to American workmen. The trouble
with Mr.. Bryan is he always views
things from a partisan point Of view.
In his mind Democracy can do no
wrong.
The Columbus journal., 1908-08-19

Three times has Mr.. Bryan delivered
an address accepting the nomination
of his party for the Presidency, to be
followed a few weeks later in two in
stances by congratulating his compet-
itor in the race. His third dispatch
congratulating Republican candidate
will be sent about November 4th.
