y do not mean 10 say that some
measures Of relief have not been
adopted during the present admins

republican party is not entitled to
credi, for any Of them II it had not
been for the democratic minority, il Is
safe 10 say that not one Of those meas
ures would ever have found its way
20 the statute book, and We Of Nebras-
ka have much reason 10 be proud Of
the effective part taken in promoting
those measures by our three demo
cratic congressman, Latta, Mcguire
and Hitchcock.
The people have had enough Of re-
publican double dealing. Gallant souls
WITHIN the party have arisen in rebel
lion. The Cummins and the Garfelis,
the Delivers and the Pinchots are on
the witness stand telling the truth.
The country is listening with attentive
ear. Nebraska IS no exception. 1t
hears with disgust the story OF Sen
ator Burketts dupllcity-he who IS
said TO be 40 per cent insurgent and
90 per cent Aldrich.

Nothing sheer Of foolhardiness can de-

ed TO be hers. Let the order, then 90
forth to close ranks and move for
ward as one man in support of the
holy cause OF the people, and the next
delegation from this state to the nl'.
ional congress will be democratic.
Turning for a moment to affairs
that are purely local We find much 10
please us and give us hope. Repubi'-
cans have been unsparing in their
abuse of our last legislature, but this
Is because It's good record has made
them mad In all their efforts they
have been unable to put a finger on
single act that justiies their abuse.
That legislature was freer from scan
dals OF the oil room and the lobby
than any republican Legislature that
ever assembled within the walls Of
the capitol. If the legislature erred,
1t erred with the masses, not against
them"
The speaker praised the state ad-
ministration and a number of the
democratic leaders, and in conclusion
said:
This convention does not end
things. There is hard campaign
ahead. no matter what views prevail
today This state in its entirety must
be swung into place 1t is ripe for
democratic victory Nothing can de-
feat us but ourselves. Throw away
ambition forget our piques and
jcalousness: sink pride of personal
opinion in the judgment Of majority;
fix our eyes on the glorous day star
Of civil welfare. and party success
and victory IS assured
