Mr.. Kern, the democratic nom
inee for the vice-presidency, has
the faculty of seeing and believ-
ing in both sides of most ques-
tons and has changed his views
often enough so that he has been
on both sides of most national
questions which have agitated the
public mind within recent years.
He was "A strong Gold Democrat
in one campaign and an enthusi-
astic Free Silverite III the other.
He was against the hauling down
of the flag in the Philippines, and
then heartily in favor of it. Not
but recently he was strongly op.
posed to the anti injunction plank:
now il is Just what he wants. AS
an example of how his views ap'
peal TO the people of Indiana, we
might add, as a side light, thai
he was beaten for governor II
1900 by $4,000 and by $4,000 ma,
iority in 1904.

years, therefore doesn't 1t look
as if Bryan wants to be presi-
dent simply for Bryan's sake,
merely for the honor Bryan
would get and not for any par
ticular good he could do? If
not he should at least want a
second term, in the hope the
political complexion of congress
might be changed, that he
might be able to put in force
some of his populistic notions.
No the only way to get a re-
vision of the tariff, a law regu-
lating trusts and corporations, a
postal saving bank and currency
reform law, is to elect an execu-
tive in harmony with congress,
and this we believe the people
will do.

Governor George l.. Sheldon

tary of state as a candidate for

position to his nomination. AS
to his election, his record has, been
so clean and every promise made
during his last campaign that a
bet at the rate of 10 to Ill favor
of his election would be safe.

No doubt the better element OF
the community will be pleased to
learn that Governor Hughes of
New York has announced his will
lingness to stand for another cleo
ton as governor of his state. He
has done more to bring corrupt
corporations to justice than most
any other man. New York, as
we'll as the country at large, is to
be congratulated at the prospect
of having such a splendid man to
head their state ticket.

KNOWN BY HIS COMPANY

Shortly before the democratic
National Convention Mr.. Bryan
spoke of Hearst of New York as
a great and unselish patriot. He
mentioned in detail his servicesto
his country and spoke in most
complimentary terms Of h e
Hearst party known as the In
dependent. The wish was ex-
pressed that Hearst would see fit
to have his organization endorse
the democratic ticket and support
its candidates. The national con-
vention of the Independent party
was held in Chicago this week and
Hearst as temporary chairman
said in part:
THE Democratic vanguard is a
Falstaff's army. 1t is led by a
knight in a motley array of modi.
fed professions and comprised
principles, of altered opinions and
retracted statements. 1t is of.
ficered by such soldiers of fortune
as Sullivan and Hopkins, and

Congressman Pollard is TO be
congratulated upon the fact,
which Is now evident, that he
will have no opposition for the
republican nomination for con-
gress this year. The splendid
record Mr.. Pollard has made
and his well known popularity
with the farmers and the people
of the smaller towns has evid-
emily convinced those who have
opposed him in the past that it
would be useless to attempt to
defeat him this year under the
primary system where the great
mass of voters select their can
didates. There is no doubt but
what Mr.. Pollard will be nomi
mated and elected by a very
large majority.

and Tom Ryan. the Wall street
gambler, and Belmont, the race
track gambler. 1t is composed Of
such political mercenaries as Bal
ley of the Standard Oil and Vii
liams of the Southern railway and
Hinky Dink and Bathhouse John
and Red Duffy and Niger Mike
all harmonized at last and all
marching together in a rhythmic
cadence strongly suggestive OF the
lockStep. It's Falstaff'S army.
whose banner bears on one side a
watchword for the people and on
the other a password for Il e
trusts, whose only object is office
at any cost, whose motto is after
us the deluge.'
Assuming that Mr.. Bryan him
self, is all that his most ardent
admirers claim him to be. a great
lawyer, an enlightened statesman,
an inspired patriot, still a man is
known by the company he keeps
and no decent Democrat can toler-
ate his free companions. No hon
est citizen a let down the bars
of Office to such a band of bood-
lerS and braves. No prudent citi-
zen will support a combination to
which Taggart supplies a candi-
date and Parker a platform, for
which RYAN will pay the freight,
and the people will pay the pen
atty.

LOOK A LITTLE OUT"

1t is a rumor over the state
that the residents of Lincoln
will cast their votes this fall al
most unanimously for Bryan.
The reason given is that his
nomination will bring visitors
and delegations to Lincoln from
other states, who will S pc n d
their money there, and thus
make business good.
Our advice to Lincoln is to
Look a little OUT. There
never was a legislature held in
Nebraska at which Lincoln was
not on hand %clamoring for some
thing, either a public building,
an appropriation, or something.
Everything she has was given
her by Republicans. Her CAPT,
tol, her university, her asylum.
her penitentiary, her fine govern
ment building, and her state
tair, which brings more people
to Lincoln each year than Bryan
will bring in a decade.
The state of Nebraska is Re
publican and its legislature in
future will be Republican. The
House of Representatives is Re-
publican and will continue to be.
II Lincoln proposes to change
its politics for the sordid reason
that a few visitors and delega
tons will spend their money
there we advise her to look a
little out. Some of the horny
handed farmers who GO up to
the legislature each biennial to
make laws and grant appropria,
tons might get their bristles up,
and let Mr.. Bryan provide for
future appropriations and pub
lie buildings, and they might
even become convinced tn a t
some other city is entitled to the
crowds which attend the state
fair each year, and remove it
from Lincoln.

The farmers are not breaking
iheir necks trying to get an OPP
portunity to contribute to the

Judgment to assist a party which
has never done anything for them
and which if now put in power
would prove their enemy.

Although William X. Hears

Although William Il. Hearst
and William J.. Bryan occupied
rooms III the same hotel i'll Chi
sage, recently while they we're in
that city. they failed to call upon
each other and did not recognize
each other. 1t looks as if these
two Williams who at one time
were the closest of friends, have
fallen out. At present the indi'
cations of fusion between then
are not fiattering.

We are told that the III o V
question, or rather the question
OF 10 TO /, is settled. As mo
question is settled until it is set

has the proud distinction of being
the party which was right on the
question, and the one which set
tied it. Where was the Demo
cratic party on that question?

The republican party locally
must nominate men of such
character and party fealty as
will permit a united party to
stand behind them. This is a
republican year. TAFT will
carry Richardson county. The
success of the entire ticket
should not be ~ieopardized by the
nomination of anyone who has
spent his time fighting republi-
can candidates in the past, and
whose conduct in the future is
a matter of doubt to those who
know him best.

DEMOCRACY AND THE FARMER

Bryan appeals to the farmer
both for his vote and his money.
The efforts of democracy this
year is to secure the farmer
vote. In spite of $1,000 a ton
for hay, not withstanding new
wheat is worth 80 cents, white
corn 70 cents. Hogs 5000 and
all other farm products in pro-
portion, Mr.. Bryan appeals for
a change in administration, in
laws and customs, and asks the
farmers support to accomplish
the change.
| read a democratic speech
delivered last week to a crowd
of laboring men at Wiliamantic,
Conn.,, in which the orator PROM
ised that food stuff would be
cheapened if they would elect
Bryan. That is a good speech
for Connecticut but the orator
would promptly be muzzeled If
he tried it in Nebraska.
! But the orator was telling the
truth. Food stuffs, as we'll as
everything else, is cheapened
under democratic administra-
tons.
In the democratic platform is
written the following: "Mater-
ial reductions should be made in
the tariff upon the necessaries
of life
The farmer of Richardson
county raises nothing but the
necessaries of life.
Take wheat for instance, for
which you are now getting so
cents. Canada is rapidly grow
ing into the worlds greatest
wheat country. Manitoba, Sas-
katchan, Alberta and other por.
tions of Canada are now raising
millions of bushels of wheat.
Every year the great northwest
Canadian country IS settling up
with thousands of settlers and
every year the area of cultivated
land increases and the amount
of wheat raised increases in
proportion. This wheat is
raised on ten dollar an acre
land. You wheat is raised on
land ten times as valuable.
The republican party erected
a tariff that says the American
farmers wheat must be protect
ed. The Canadian wheat can
not be sent across the border to
compete with American wheat.
Mr.. Bryan says "this must be
changed" The eastern orator
says, I'VE will reduce the price
of food stuff if Bryan is elected.
The democratic platform says,
"Material reductions should be
made in the tariff upon the nee
essaries of life" To accom-
plish this, to flood this country
with Canadian wheat raised on
cheap land to compete with
your wheat, to destroy the pro
lection the republican party has
given the farmer, under which
farm products Ire now SO yalu-
able, Mr.. Bryan asks for farm
er's vote and farmers dollars.
Such ad appeal is a reflection
upon the intelligence of the Ne.
braska farmer.
