following resolution:
The prohibitionists of Nebraska, in con-
vention assembled, declare:
The overshadowing question In American
politics, both in state and nation, is the
abolition OF the now universally acknowl-
edged drink curse, popularity called the
liquor traffic.
we demand Of congress the repeal OF
the internal revenue law relating to alco-
holic liquors, and denounce the same as
d disgrace to modern civilization and an

further demand the immediate adoption by
the administration at Washington OF q
policy Of refusal TO issue any federal
permits for the sale OF intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes in any state, ter
ritory or municipality where the same Ii
prohibited by law.

mission, and we arraign said Legislature

Next to the remark by Governor Shallen-
berger that II am sure the people Of Ne
braska want a nonpartisan judiciary, there
fore 1 feel certain that the three demo-
cratic Judges will be elected" Charles
Wooster got off the best statement of the
convention. An enthusiastic delegate had
wildly exclaimed, Don't vote for a demo-
crat because he Is a democrat. Don't vote
for a republican because he is a republi-
can, but vote for the man. IF that is
the rule we are to follow" said Wooster,

The following resolutions were
adopted in the peoples Independent
state convention, held at Lincoln,
Neb.. July q:
We, the representatives of the
peoples Independent party in state
convention assembled, adopt the fol-
lowing resolutions as expressing the
principles Of our party n invite the
consideration OF the voters.
We favor a nonpartisan judiciary
and educational election law and re-
greet that u supreme court found II
necessary to annul the law of the
recent legislature looking to that END
And further we condemn the republi-
can state organization for its over
jealous manner in instituting a suit
for the overthrow of this law. so gem
orally demanded by the people.
We believe the people have a right
to rule by majorities and demand a
constitutional amendment permitting
the direct legislation by the people,
national, state and municipal, known
as the initiative and referendum.
we commend the recent Legislature
for the enactment Of the law known
as the depositors' guaranty law; the
action Of those who by a trick Of law
have placed the Nebraska statute in
the federal court without giving the
state courts an opportunity OF first
passing on this purely domestic matter
is to be condemned.
1t is with feelings of pride that we
call attention of the public to the
following beneficial laws Of the recent
legislature; The law permitting a
direct vote on United States senator's;
the physical valuation of railroads.;
the daylight saloon law and the many
other acts which were passed by the
vote Of a fusion majority in house and
senate.
We command Governor Shallen-
berger for the faithful discharge of
the duties Of his office, also the at
titude of those representatives in con-
gress, who have stood with the in
terests of the west in the reduction
of the tariff.
We favor the principle of county
option and reiterate the position OF
our party as taken on this question
in the campaign OF 1908.
The Nebraska supreme court as now
composed is almost solidly republican
and the peoples party of the state
would command to the voters our
nominees on the state ticket, in order
that the court may be divided more
equally, and that decisions Of that
body may be received with more favor
n confidence by the tax payers and
voters generally.

oaths Of office, we resent the imputa-
ton. II III becomes the democrats 10

when the recor shows that, when
they had elected two Of the supreme
judges a few years ago, they left no
make the court consist wholly Of their
own partisan judges.
What is here a IL with reference to
the administration OF the courts APP
plies likewise TO the administration OF
the state university. This noble in
stttutton ha grown and prospered
under the efficient management OF
regents elected as republicans, free
from the Intrusion Of political par
~tisanship or the application OF political
tests, in sharp contrast with the time
when under a fusion board its man
agement was VIGOROUSLY partisan.
The reasons therefore, are not hard
to find why, .fortmore than a third
OF a century, but for enc brief trial
period, the people OF Nebraska have
continuously preferred to entrust their
highest court OF Justice and their
highest institution OF learning to Off
GERS presented as candidates by the
republican party, and these reasons
hold good today. The nominees of the
republican party for these responsible
positions this year will be competent
and trustworthy, and should command
the ppo M votes Of all good citi-
zens who believe in honesty, justice
n fidelity and hate hypocrisy, de-
ceit n faithlessness.

Democratic

~ EN
We, the democrats OF Nebraska In
state convention asembled, reaffirm
our faith in and pledge our loyalty
to the principles OF our party as set
forth in the platform adopted by the
democratic convention. OF 1905.
We denounc the republican tariff
bin as a shameless copsummation OF
the fraud deliberately planned by the
republican leaders when they PROM
lsed revision instead OF reduction; n
We call attention to the fact that it
confesses The truth Of all that he
democrats have acharged as to the
iniquities of the high tariff system.
We call special attention to the fact
that IN plank contained in both the
democratic state and national plat
forms for 1903 namely, the plank de-
handing d constitutional amend
ment specifically endorsing the in
come tax, has since been accepted by
a republican president, senate n
house of representatives and that such
amendment has been submitted to the
states for ratification.
We pledge democratic party in
Nebraska to assist In securing Tatifi-
4 cation of hat amendment and to that
n we ask governor Shallenberger to
call a special session of the legisla-
thre at an early day, that Nebraska.
O pioneer iuEthe advocacy of an in-
come tax, may have the honor Of
being the first sstate to ratify the
amendment. ts!.

sitioq that the United States senators

size, the Importance of this reform.
Believing that the people nave a right
to what they want in government we
favor the submission at the next
session of the legislature of a constitu-
tionai amendment providing for the
initiative and referendum.
Reasserting our purpose to give the
people of the state Of Nebraska a
guarantee of bank deposits law we
Jall attention to the fact that suspen-
zion Of that law by the federal court
emphasizes the position taken by the
democratic party of Nebraska in it's
1905 platform When it favored the en-
actment OF u laws as may be nee
essary to compel corporations to sub
init their legal disputes to the courts
Of he states in which they do bust
ness before taking an appeal to The
United States courts.
We endorse the successful business
administration Of a democratic gov
ernor and commend the governor and
a democratic Legislature for the enact
ment Of specific democratic platform
pledges into law.
The democracy of Nebraska, how
ever directs the attention of all good
citizens to the fact that the state
election to be held this fall is for the
purpose Of choosing three judges Of
the supreme court and three regents
Of the university. No other offices
are involved.
The democratic party through it's
legislature and governor sought to
lift these positions of great trust and
dignity out of thes embodiment OF
partisan politics, to take them out
of the hands of professional politi-
clans, to raise them above the reach
and place them permanently and Sc
curely on a nonpaTtisan basis. But

Through its state organization II

bly, ~insincere but successful attack
we submit that hts presents an
issue Of great and far reaching Inn
portance. We are coming TO be more

courts. The courts are the bulwarks
Of our liberties as well as the harbor
to which special privilege flees In
every storm. and the instrumentalities
through which Il a%sesrts, with grow
ing its wv to defy the

executives. There never was a ume
when the necessity for keeping courts
Invested with, or asserting extraor-
binary powers on a plane above sus-
picion or ~reproach, presented Itself
more forecfully than II does now.
We urge the people OF this common
wealth to take this question home
with them. We urge upon them that
the issue In the state election is one
not Of party or Of platform, but OF
men.
We urge all Nebraskans. in voting
for supreme judges and for regents
to lay aside party prejudice and ties.
We hope no democrat will vote for a
candidate for either of these offices
merely because the candidate Is a
democrat, and that no republican Will
vote for such a candidate because he
is a republican. We urge each and
every voter OF all parties to vote for
the man when he goes to the box this
fall, and not for the party label.
Resolved hat we urge the dem
ocratic members Of congress n those
from Nebraska especially to use their
best efforts to secur as speedy a
completion as possible of the govern
ment ditch project now but partly
completed in western Nebraska, as

that it would pay every afflicted per-
