bait when those same people had money
in the bank, and he thought II would trick
them, and he appealed TO them again on
that issue. It has not received the ap-
prevail OF the people Of the state Of Ne
braska or any other state in this union,
and l hope that this state never will de-
clare for any Organized scheme Of hold
ing up one weak institution with the strong
timbers Of another. Applause)
why, gentlemen. this man who in Can
ton. o., asked the democrats TO vote against
william Mckinley lest their principles be
~prostituted, over here at the Lincoln hotel,
in Lincoln. Neb., asked the republicans to
vote for himself when he thought he was
going to be heir apparent of the Roose-
welt popularity. And when Roosevelt no.
pudiated his claim Of heirship he turned
upon Roosevelt.
This is the man who was begging in the
streets of Chicago for contribution to his
campaign fund even II it would be only a
mite-the widows mite-and mourne be-
cause the Connecticut court would not lei
him get the widows 5000. (Prolonged
applause)
This is the man that quadrennially an.
nounces from his experiment station in Ne.
braska his fool vagaries and theories and
who cannot go back end stand on any para
mount issue that he has ever advocated
without making himself ridiculous. and fol-
that reason his factory out here at Fair
view is busy grinding out new ones. Gap

Now. gentlemen, let us in this coming
campaign put our shoulders to the wheel.
The people of this state will trust theli
judiciary and their supreme court and Their
schools to the republican party in the fu

decency-let us show them that although
occasionally, by fraud. they may put u:
in the awkward squad, that they canno
keep us there. I believe that Nebraska IL
the coming election will square up in lin,
with the progressive states OF the unior
and will remove that black spot from tn,
political map-the only black spot north o.
the Mason and Dixon line-which makes Vi
bow our heads when we look at It.
Let me say in closing, gentlemen, that
what Governor s~hallenberger said. IL II
is true at all-if they nave Joined hands

lieved there are more decent people thar
the other kind. Applause)
IF the democratic party Of Nebraska
gentlemen, has decided to become honest
at last II is only because honesty is
deemed the best policy.
And don't be deceived by any specioui
claims or statements of these people
They are looking for but one thing-they
have never looked for anything else and
never willard that is the job.
II prophesy. gentlemen, that II the reso
lutions committee does what you peopl,
tell It to do-voices the true sentiments
of this convention; follows the nationa
platform as It was made in Chicago; com
mends the president and our republican,
in congress who have stood by hin
through thick and thin-I predict, gentle
men. that in November. with all OF u
pulling together, we will put Nebraski
back where she b~elongs-in the republican
column. I thank YOU" CApplause.)
