property In towns and villages for taxation,

Reason for Confidence.
And It Is because the people know that
the republican party feels absolutely con-
ndent Of victory next Tuesday. The same
republican party that made so many
promises two years ago and kept every
one Of them. Is again before the people
asking to be trusted for two years more
with the affairs OF state. It is the same
republican party, with the same magnifi-
cent leaders.
Opposed to this republican party of deeds
ia the same democratic party of two years
ago. with the same leaders, though with
different promises. -
II is the same democratic party that
fought the primary law the commission
law, the anti-pass law, the terminal tax
law. the pure food law, and practically
every law which was enacted by the last
legislature. 1t has for its candidate for
governor the same man who two years
ago advocated postal savings banks and is
now denbunclng the proposition: the man
Who iobbied against a bill to guaranty
bank deposits, but who is now for such a
law: the man who denounced the railway
commission law: the man who is now run
ming on a prohibition platform out in the
state and a saloon platform in Omaha. He
was defeated by Governor Sheldon two
years ago by about 1900 votes. In the
words Of Mayor Jim Dahlman, Mr.. Bryan's
most trusted lieutenant: us S~hallenberger
stronger now than he was two years ago7
II SO. why? Sheldon ia stronger. He has
made a good governor and there is no
chance for s~hallenbeTEeT TO. defeat him.
SO Il Is with the utmost confidence that
the republican, party approaches the win
UP of the campaign. Tho party managers
believe the people will not be deceived
by the injection of immateridl matter into
the campaign. They have made their fight
on the performance of the party officers.
IL is a question of wi1ethsR the voters OF
Nebraska desire to cpntinue the work 90
ably started by the Ispuhliosn party. It is
a question OF whether the Roosevelt poll
cles are to be stopped short off. And in
fact that is the only question before the
voters. A vote for the democratic ticket
is a vote against all the laws which the
Last legislature enacted. A vote for the
republican ticket is a. vote foTa continual
ton Of that .lssislation.
Men VINO Helped no Work.
The men who helped to make this wonder.
ful republican record and. who are candi
dates for reelection are: Governor George
L.. Sheldon, Nebraska,s first native-borr

treasured; William r, T9ompson( attorney
general; George c. Junkin. secretary o.
state: J. A. Williams, railway commits
sioner. and M r. Hopewell, lieutenant gov
ernor. The new names on the ticket are
Siias r. Barton for state auditor, L. C
Bishop for state superintendent CMr. Bishop
has been for four years deputy state super
i~ntendent), and 70 b. Cow1es for land com
missioner. These men are pledged to I
continuation OF the policies of the republi
can party.
The republican party leaders never fel
more confident of victory than right now
Not from one single county has there beef
received any news which indicates demo
cratic gains. On the other hand, from tn
farthest northern county of the state dow
to Pawnee and Richardson, somes the wor
that the republicans will make gains: fror
the far west to the eastern boundarie
comes the message that the republican
party will make gains.
Against these reliable reports the demo
cratic leaders are putting up wild claim
and lots of noise.
Record Of Mr.. Lntta.
The republicans feel confident of a fu.
republican delegation in congress. Their
seems not the least doubt of this. Ernes
N. Pollard. Edmund II. Hinshaw and Nose
p. Kinkaid are going to be elected wit
practically no opposition, In the Secon
district A. w. Jefferis Is going to be electe
over the only democrat how VA congress
from Nebraska. In the Third district tn
democrats have aRSideA that Senator Latt
and his checkbook will be able to cut dow
the majority of Congressman Boyd. I
the light of the record of the two men TIL
seems a most preposterous claim. whe
Edgar Howard was running against LAtt
for the nomination lie published this han
bin showing Latta's record, which stI
stands today:
THE TRUTH HURTS.
