The contest between the Red side and the Blue side hs been very even
the last three months under the leadership of Ruth Ashby of Fairmont, who
has been the Queen of the Blue side, and Emerson Goodrich o. Omaha, who
has been the King of the Red side. Fifteen votes were awarded to the Blue
side and eleven to the Red side The latter has a number of good writer's

have occurred during 1907. and to the

party 'overthrowing the present system Of

George Washington Dent says that when
tho socialists have picked their candidates
there are hundreds of democrats who will

is no interest in an election. The state
is nothing. The individual has his interest

Mr.. Dent declared the interest to be
racial rather than state. or even national,
but expects to see a great Increase in the
socialist vote both I'm Nebraska and for the
national ticket in all parts OF the country.
MT, Dent denies that he win be a candi-

says that no one knows who will be selected

AND0VER-H HARVARD UNION
Conference Approves Proposed Merger
 of Divinity Schools.

Andover, Mass, April 2S.-At the annual conference of Congregational churches, some opposition developed today to the proposed removal of the Andover theological seminary to Cam bridge and it's union with the Harvard divinity school. A resolution was adopted requesting the trustees of the seminary to submit the matter after removal to the board of visitors "in order that by thcir approval, the crit icism of the vote of the trustees may be allayed'
 Rev, W. E, Wolcott of Lawrence said that 1t was very plainly the will of the founder, Samuel Abbott that the sem mary should be Congregational, and that the trustees are in duty bound to preserve 1t absolutely as such. While admitting that Harvard is supposed to be non-eectarian he pointed out that there is a stipulation in the constltu- tlon of it's divinity school which re- quires that at least two members of the faculty shall be Unltarians.

Reports Concerning Additions to Di,

In regard to the reported plan of add ing three directors from Massachusetts to the directorate of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. 1t is stated here authorlta- lively that while such a plan may be adopted, 1t is somewhat remote, and will depend probably upon the out come in Massachusetts of the Boston and Maine merger proposition.
 Under lts charter, the New Haven corporation must have a majority of It's board of directors residents of Con- nectiCut. The number of the directors Is fixed by it's by-law, which can only be changed at a stockholders meeting, and consists of twenty-five members. If new members are added from Massa- chusetts, the bylaws will probably have to be changed, and the additions in any event not made until after the annual stockholders meeting next au- tumn.

only find an empty dinner pail. The present hard times are caused by re- publican msrule. The hard times of 1898 were not caused by President Cleveland or the election of a demo- cratic congress, but were due to re- publican mismanagement in preceding years, Those times like the present were the natural, logical and inevita- ble result of republican policies and principles. If we wish to do away with these periodical depressions adopt the good old doctrine of tariff for revenue only and the country will be as firmly protected against panics as 1t now is against the importation of foreign, manufactured goods.
 The colored race Is said to be the white mans burden. The burden of the democratic party is the republi- can party. We spend years in edu- eating them and they follow along and adopt our platform and advocate our principles from twelve to twenty years after we have sized up the slt- nation and advocated the policies which they have been compelled to adopt.
