The TARIFF MEASURE
WILL Be DECEITFUL
Bill 10 Be Reported By Committee WHI Not Be the
One Enacted Into Law.

President Cleveland refused to sign.
His llfe's ambition had been TO give
the people an honest tariff revision.
and his defeat at the hands Of the
trustcontrolled Senate was one Of the
keenest s0rrows Of his Ilfe.
shortly after the passage Of the VIII
son bin Mr. Cleveland, with courage
undaunted. wrote the following letter
TO Mr.. Catchings Of Mississippi:
'Tarin reform win not be settled
until Il % honestly and fairly settled
In the interest and TO the benefit Of
patient and long suffering people. The
trusts and cOmbinations-the commun-
ism Of pelf-whose Vaccinations have

promises of something else, but Sterrett
stood his ground and the report was re-
committed with the result that South
Omaha gets representation on the state
delegation.
The last scrap came over the substitu-
ton Of Claude Bessie for committeeman
from the Third ward in place of George
Brown. The committee recommended
Brown. but a motion was made to substi-
tute Bessie. Joe Butler resented this and
declared that Brown had worked for the
party in this city twenty years, while
Bessie had been here but six months.
L. ]. TePoel replied to Butler in a per
sonal way and declared that Bessie was
responsible for the party securing many
Italian votes. The report of the committee
containing the name Of George Brown was
finally adopted after Bessie had with
drawn his name and the incident was later
closed when Bessie was made committee
man-at-large from the Third ward.
Platform Adopted.
Mayor Dahlman headed the committee
on resolutions and these were adopted
without a dissenting vote. With the mayor
on this committee were Harvey E. New
branch, Charles E. flaming, jeff w. Bed
ford and George Sterrett. The resolutions
are as follows:
We, the democrats OF Douglas county,
in convention assembled, reaffirm. our
allegiance to the traditional principles Of
our party. We stand in city, county,
state and nation for government, of the
people. by the people and for the peo-
pie, granting equal rights to all and spe-
ciai privileges to no one.
Reserving our expressions on concrete
Issues for a future campaign, In which
those issues may become properly in CON
troversy, we invite attention to the fact
that the campaign now pending in the
county and state Is not one in which
partisan questions are involved. 1t Ia q
question Of fitness and efficiency. OF
candidates. The splendid record made by
the city administration OF Omaha under
the fearless and honest leadership Of
Mayor Dahlman in the last three years
we present in token OF our belief that
locally IL Is both safe and wise to en-
trust democrats with power. They serve,
and will continue to serve, the plain peo-
Pile, free from subservlency to special IN
terests.
The questions the people Of the state
questions of men. We stand for the
nonpartisan judiciary. We depiore the
unseemly action of judges Of the su,
preme court, themselves candidates and
having an interest OF 2 1000 each in the
outcome, Joining to overthrow a non
partisan judiciary law demanded by the
people and calculated TO elevate the dig

procedure. This is a convention of the
plain people, and the convention should
select the delegates"
'Oh, sit down., John" replied Boss Flynn.
You are talking too much. If you came
here Just to talk, keep still or get out"
But Mahoney would not keep still until
the chair instructed the committee to re-
port back to the convention for its rati-
ficaion the list Of names selected by It
as delegates to Lincoln.
The committee appointed for this task
was composed OF Tom Flynn, H. B.. File
harty, George Rogers, ]. G. Bennett and
p. j. Farrell. The committee to select
members of the new county committee
was composed Of one member from each
precinct. The two became confused and
the South Omaha members Of the COM
mittee to choose central committeemen
thought they were TO select delegates to
Lincoln, and this resulted in another row.
SOUTH Omaha BaIks.
When the list of delegates to the state
convention was read and the South Omaha
list was not contained in It, George Ster-
rett Of that place baked and declared that
there had been some funny work. and
that none Of the country delegates would
vote for the state delegates at all. Some
of the leaders tried to paclfy him with

and of elective educational officials. We
do not believe any man should be elected
a supreme Judge merely because he
wears a certain party label, or be de-
bel. He should be elected because ne Is
the best, safest and truest man, the
ablest lawyer and most reliable jurist,
regardless of his party affiliation. And
we invite the electorate of Douglas
county and of the state Of Nebraska to
determine their votes this fall in ac-
cordance with this simple test. In this
way It will still be possible to defeat
the 'cheme of greedy and INSCRIPTIONS

state convention is hereby instructed in

to oppose by every honorable means the
injection of the liquor issue into this

reagan Succeeds Flynn.
John Il. Reagan was elected chairman
of the new county committees; John f.
Moriarity, secretary, and Lee Bridges
treasurer. An attempt was made to get
Tom Flynn to take the chairmanship
again, but the boss declared he positively
would not serve, even after George
Rogers had nominated him and ~recounted
in glowing terms his achievements in
the past, The new chairman was en-
powered to appoint an executive commit
tee after the primary.
L. J. Piatti was chairman and D. Ii
Doty secretary of the convention.
Douglas county is entitled to fifty-seven
delegates to the state convention and these

Diaz of Mexico at San Antonio, Tex, in
stead of Ell Paso, late in September or
early in October.
Although there is no constitutional In
hibition against the president visiting
a foreign country there is an iron clad
precedent covering the whole period since
the establishment Of the government, which
Mr.. Taft is not disposed to break.
These facts were communicated to Presi-
dent Diaz, who promptly made It known
that he would be much pleased to meet
President Taft on American territory
provided the Mexican congress granted The
necessary permission, Of which there seemed
