LINCOLN, Oct. 3O.-(SpeciaL)-L, A. Will
liams was here last night after trip down
in Kansas. He brought the information
that farmers were hauling their wheat to
market and selling 1t for 80 cents bushel
TheX were working overtime, so in case of
Bryan's election they would not be subject
to a drop in prices. Many of the farmers
who were doing this very thing said they
were going to vote for Bryan. but each of
these said he intended to sell off his prod
ucts for fear Bryan would be elected~an
prices would go down.
Free Al the Best.
In a farm paper published in Lincoln
there appears this week a page advertise
ment for A. c. ShallenbergeT. two pages
for w. ]. Bryan and page for the entire
republican ticket. But the front page of
he publication is the best advertisement
the republican party could get, and 1t
cost nothing. The front page contains -
photograph OF an automobile lined up in
front of farm house and in the automo-
bile is a homegrown hog in a crate. Be
meath the picture is the statement that
this is the way the owner gets his fine
hogs TO the station after they have been
sold.
Consider this picture with the advertise
ment on the back page:
To the Farmers of Nebraska: The nation
has enjoyed boundless prosperity, the state
good government under republican admin
istratlon. VIII you cast your vote to
change It?
When farmers are taking theit hogs to
town in automobiles. no one has yet been
able to satisfactorily figure out any rea-
son for voting for change.
In the minds of most people II Is believed
that advertisement on the back page and
that picture on the front page is a good
Indication of where the farmers stand po-
litically this year.
Incidentally. that Shallenberger page is
separate from the Bryan dope. That Is not
strange when it is considered that Mr..
Bryan's managers are not for Shallenberger
and Mr.. Shallenbergers managers are up
in arms about the way the Alma man is
being treated. Bryan's managers would not
stand for Shallenbcrger being mentioned I'm
his advertisement! and II is a ten TO one
shot that Shallenberger had to pay for his
own page, while the Bryan ad was paid
for out Of money collected for the demo-
cratic cause among the country newspa-
pers.
In this connection the action OF Cowgirl
the democratic candidate for railway com
missioner, is interesting. Mr.. Cowgirl came
/ TO the democratic headquarters recently
and let out a roar that could have been
] heard almost by Brother Charlie in Chi
cago He had contributed $500 to the demo-
cratic campaign fund. and so far as he
| and his friends can figure out not even a
postage stamp had been used by the com
mlttee in his interest. Cowgirl has his owr

know this and are responsible for the state.
