Hob Bryan Carried Nebraska.

The newspapers have been publishing &C
counts of the happiness of Mr.. Bryan and his
family, caused by the fact that the Peerless
carried his home state
But is it thing to be proud of? Not unless
he carried Nebraska fairly, honorably, and
without injury to the state. If he won ma
'jority by political dishonesty, he ought not to
feel happy. If he sacrificed the best interests
of the best people of his state to his own selfish
ambition, he ought not to feel proud.
How did Bryan carry Nebraska?
(I) By dishonest trick which scooped the
Populists. (2) By foul deal with the liquor
interests.
Says the New York Sun, (Democratic,):
"The chief factor in the defeat of the Repub
1icans was the solid opposition of the liquor in
terests, who voted the straight Democratic
ticket"
"The solid opposition of the liquor dealers"
defeated Taft in Nebraska.
The solid support of the liquor interests gave
BRYAN his majority in Nebraska.
Is that kind of victory one to be proud Of?
What sort of moral force does Bryan repre-
sent when he uses all of his God-given talent
and energy to keep the saloon keepers in con-
troll of his home state?
In the state of Georgia, the Democratic partv
boasts Of the fact that it has closed the bar
rooms,

y, @4ae Of Nebraska the Democratic par
tv oloats over the fact that it has kept the bar
rooms open.
In Georgia, the Prohibitionists carry the
state for Bryan.
In Nebraska the whiskey people carry the
state for Bryan.
No wonder the Bryan campaign had no NOR
al power in it. Such monstrous inconsistencies
can not win. They shock common honesty and
the public conscience.
Instead of being proud of his victory" in
Nebraska Bryan ought to be ashamed of it.
He bartered away the best interests Of his
home state to win personal glory.
To the extent that the open saloon shall do
it's inevitable work in Nebraska, to the extent
that greater number of men shall walk into
the tempters' snares, to the extent that there
shall be a greater number of wives to suffer
because of scottish husbands and greater
number of children pushed into poverty, igno-
rance, vice and crime because of wretchedness
at home-to that extent Mr.. Bryan has injured
his state.

there's anything left in it but burning thirst
for office nobody can tell what it is.
have lived to see the leaven of Populism
permeate the whole loaf in my native state, and
make itself an influence throughout the Union.
We have statewide Prohibition in Georgia
thanks to the Pops who first made that an
issue. To other states this reform is rapidly
extending. We have direct election of all Off
GERS by the peope-thanks to the Pops who
first demanded that reform
The Ocala demand that u. S. Senators be
elected by direct vote of the people, not only
controls in Georgia but has taken control in
many other states. The candidates are COM
PEELED to submit their claims to a primary
which is binding upon the legislature.
We have the Disfranchisement law in Geor-
gia, thanks to the Populist proposition of Sept.
I, 1904. This law removes the fear of Negro
Domination and Georgia can now take the
lead in breaking up that political slavery so de-
grading to the Solid South
| have lived to see every candidate for office
in Georgia tune his platform and his speeches
as though he wanted to play the fiddle with
every Pop.
Candidates for the Senate suddenly become
good Greenbackers on the money-question;
candidates for Governor flop overnight from
Clevelandism to Populism candidates for Con-
gress tune up their vio1ins until they are in
full accord with us Pops.
We have created Public Opinion through
out this republic which is felt all the way from
the cabin to the White House.
I have lived to see the Democratic dailies of
the South ignore or Witty me throughout
campaign in which I did not stir out of my
state and then, on the morning after the cleo
ton, kick Bryan and virtually say editorially,
+WATSON IS RIGHT"
From enc end of the South to the other runs
the cry,
1--WE must make the South doubtful politi-
cally, and thus make her politically important"
Wasn't that the burden of my song through
out the campaign?
The Atlanta Constitution, the Georgian and
many other nominally Democratic papers are
now emphasizing the very thing that was the
leading idea of my campaign.
They stone the prophet but accept his mes
sage All right: make no complaint.

ATLANTA, GA, NOVEMBER 12, 1908.
What I Habe Libed To See.

From 1880 to 1908 is far cry, and between
those dates I've seen lots of things.
Overwhelmingly elected to Congress because
of the popularity of the Farmers Alliance plat
form, an avalanche Of hatred and persecution
fell upon me because [ kept my pledge to be
true to it.
Put out of Congress by the most criminal
methods ever practiced in the South [ was
buried in ef6gy, after funeral professions had
paraded the streets and funeral sermon had
been preached over my remains"
Considered quite dead, you know. Then |
saw the great Democratic party take up the
Populist platform, nominate Bryan upon it, and
eagerly accept the services Of the resurrected
Watson-most eagerly in Bryan's own state.
In 1880 delivered a Labor Day speech in All
gusta Georgia, which was SO radical that it
queered me with 'the business men" Of that
city. They looked at me askance and classed
me dangerous.
I've lived to see a President advance to the
position taken by me in that speech, and to see
the Democratic party 60 far beyond it. If the
business men of Augusta voted for Taft, thew
went as far as did in the speech which Jared
them so if they voted for Bryan they went
farther than I have ever gone, or will ever go.
Never would | have gone as far away from
the right road as Bryan went in his deal with
Gompers.
Then after being a good Populist for eight
years-from 1896 to I0O4-I saw Bryan knuckle
down to the Grover Cleveland element of his
party. He said that as a party man. he
must bow to the will of the majority, but that
Immediately after the election he meant to re-
organize his party, throw out the gold stand
ard crowd, eject the conservatives and put the
radicals in command once more
Then I saw him advance the banners of radi
calism until he reached Government Owner
ship, the Initiative and Referendum, the I'M
perative Mandate and the Recall.
Here, indeed, was peoples champion, piano.
piled with the FURNISHED steel of Progressive
ism.
Then I saw him disarm himself, dismount
from his fiery war-hOrse, break his sword, re-
nounce his creed and humbly seek pardon
from the Dave Hills, the Judge Parkers, the
Pat McCarrens the Charles Murphys, the Rich
ard Olneys, the Hillary Herberts, the Grover
Clevelandites generally!
Then a strange thing happened. The Demo
Gratis who could not endure Bryan, voted the
Republican ticket
Thus I have seen the Democratic party, I'M
der Cleveland, go almost to the Republican po-
stion and then go almost to the Popul1st posi-
ton with Bryan; and then, under this same
Bryan, go almost to the Republican position
again. So nearly Republican did this latest
edition of Bryan become that he claimed Re
publican votes on the ground that he, and not
Taft, was Roosevelts heir
In other words, have lived to see the dear
old Democratic party box the compass, and if

Are We Going to Gibe Up the Fight?

Are We Going to Gibe Up the Fight?
The election of Bryan could not have
brought any relief to the suffering masses8o of
our people. Not only did his platform promise
no substantial reform, but there was a stand
pat Republican Senate to block his way had
he even made the effort to do anything.
How is it with Mr.. Taft? He has promised
tariff revision and will keep his promise, but
who will revise the tariff? The Dalzelps, the
Paynes, the Aldriches who control Congress in
the interest of the benefciaries of Special Priv
iege.
Mr.. Taft's platform and speeches bind him
to the monstrous proposition that the taxing
power of the Government shall be used for the
purpose of insuring profit to the manufac-
turers.
Taxes are not to be imposed solely for the
purpose of paying the expenses of the Govern
ment,-the only legitimate excuse for this form
of con6scation,-b the whole country is
net profits to those capitalists who have put
their money in manufactures!
In the annals of craftsmanship, who ever
heard OF principle like that?
Is the manufacturer entitled to anything
more than a square deal? Is he more essential
to the welfare of the Republic than any other
good citizen? Why should he be put upon a
superior footing to all other classes?
Mr.. Taft is committed to doctrine that the
tremendous power of taxation vested in the
Federal Government shall be used to wiring
tribute from all classes in order that one class
shall be certain of net profits. A revision Of
the tariff by men who have that end in view
will leave us in the same fix that it found us.
Every American will have to pay home-mar-
ket monopoly price, in order that Our manufac-
turers may earn enormous profits. In other
words, the pillage of the many by the few
must be legalized and perpetuated
That's the Taft programme the Tariff.
How about unconstitutional gold standard,
and the national banking system by means of
which the banking class controls prices, holds
the business world at its mercy?
1t has nothing to fear from Taft. 1t will 60
right on, devouring its victims.
What about the transportation system, with
its burdens of Watered stock, it's secret rebates
which kill competition and establish monopoly,
its determinations against Individuals towns,
cities and sections?
The system has nothing to fear from Taft.
Wherever he can catch some corporation Grim
inal violating the law Mr.. Taft will unques
tionably try to punish the offender, but he will
never catch one such criminal out of hundred,

At the coming election the people stitutional ammendment Mo- 1, which is designed to relieve all public util- ity corporations and banks of county and city taxation and obligate them to pay a state tax only at a rate fixed in the constitution and un- changeable except by amendment.
 County Assessor Fuller shows how the proposed "reform"-prOposed by a railroad political agent-would effect Imperial county. The corporations, other than banks doing business in this county are assessed at S2,923,- 356. on which, at this years rate, they pay $74,083,90 in taxes. Of the amount collected, the county pays e11 ,692.42 to the State, The gross loss to the county under the proposed scheme would be $62,390.48. But the county would be relieved of payment to tho State of any part of the money collected for tavee. This wear it pays 70 the State S29 999.33.

 Whereas the Laguna Dam, above Yu- ma, on the Colorado River, is at an ele- vation sufficient to supply large portion of this land with water, it is therefore resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Imperial County that we earnestly re- quest and urge the Honorable Secretary of the Interior to have a survey made, and an estimate of the costs given for a canal from the Laguna Dam to the above mentioned land, and if found feasible, to authorize the reclamation service to proceed to construct said ca nal at the earliest possible moment to the end that these immense dormant re- sources of our county be developed and brought into activity, and the wealth and prosp arlty Of our county advanced and stimulated, aaa
 Further that copy of these resolutions, signed by tine board and attested tn by the clerk. Ee sent to the Secretary of the Interior.
 Action on the resolutions was de ferred until next Monday.
 Petitions will be put in circulation at once, and the people asked to sign, urging the Secretary of the Interior to have the survey made and the cost of the canal estimated. If the matter is pressed the survey for the canal can be made by January 1, 1909.
 This movement has for it's object the opening for settlement of a very large acreage of choice land. Being situated above sea level and protected by the sand hills on the east, the land will be especially adapted to the production of the orange, lemon, lime and all kinds of citrus fruits.

CITY OF CAtEXICO.
 GETS A WIGGLE ON
DECIDES TO HAVE SEWERS AND
 GOOD STREETS, PRoNTo.
Reduced Rates on Road Material Will Encourage Highway Improvement in the Valley-Border City Raises Fund for Advertising-BasebaI Pro- gram.

The Calexico Chamber of Commerce woke up with a jump last Wednesday and got so busy that it made sedate citizens dizzy to see the wheels go around Deciding that CaleXico needs sewers and good streets, the Cham Der resolved to advise the city trus- tees to call as soon as possible an election on the question of issuing street and sewer bonds to the amount of $20,000. The city trustees were present and they favored the propc- sition. Engineers Cory and Herr. mann of the c. D. Co.,, offered to do all the engineerin work without charge to the city.
 MT. Cory also undertook to secure from the railroad a special rate on oil for use on roads and streets The railroad has made special rates on gravel and broken rock that will on able the county and the valley cities to build good highways at reasonable expense. The new rate on desert gravel from Whitewater is $1.16 ton to El Centro and $1.26 to Calexlcp on gravel from Mammoth pit 77 cents to lll Centro, 89 cents to CaleX ic0; on broken rock from Hanlon to valley points, one dollar 6 ton. With 2 spondingly low rate on crude 0il the road material problem of the valley will be solved.
 As soon as the special lates were announced Fritz Kloke wired for a carload of Whitewater gravel, and two carloads were ordered for uge in con struCtion of the new school house.
 Me Chamber concluded to prosecute campaign of publicity for the city and secured monthly subscriptions ag gregatlng $11O with prospects of an increase to $15O to cover the eX pence.
 The baseball situation was taken up by the Chamber and it was deemed advisable to place the matter in the
