why he Asks Recount.

There is one thing l have determined,
after q great deal Of consideration, that 1
owe to the democrats Of Nebraska. Special
interests have fought me all over the state
and in . democratic primary may have
succeeded In defeating the democratic gov
ernor with republican votes 1t has been
reported to me from several counties and
in various precincts that republican voters
were not satisfied with voting the demo-
cratic ticket by thousands and thus con-
the democratic primary, but they
also voted for republicans for other offices
and thus sought to determine the nomina-
ton of candidates of their own party as
we'll as those in the democratic column.
Il shall ask for a recount Of the bal
lots cast for governor on the democratic
ticket in counties where reports Of these
erroneous ballots have been made to me.
and find out IL / can, II enough OF this
was done to determine the result of the pri-
mary Many democrats from over the
state have demanded that l ask for this
recount, and I am the only person under
the law who can secure this action. This
Is the only protection the democratic party
has from republican invasion and it is due
to the democratic party for me to discover
II possible Ii even the frail protection at
forded by the present primary law has been
denied to me in g sufficient number OF
cases TO determine the result. If the re-
count shows Mayor Dahlman a victor on
the face Of the returns will accept the
result in the best OF spirit, because r>hold

cratic candidates received &,57 votes in
the democratic primary and Governor Shell
don, without any contest whatever IN his
party. received $3.50 in the republican
primary. This shows that In the 1910
primary the total OF votes cast is prae-
tically the Same as that OF 1905, but
great body of republican voters moved over
to the democratic column In order to de-
termine who the democratic candidate
should be.
Republicans Vote other Ticket.
About 5000 votes have been cast in the
democratic columns In 1910 and something
like 5000 we're cast in the republican col
umn at the Same primary. This shows that
more than 5000 republicans voted as demo-
Gratis this year who voted as republicans
in 1908. The Berge and Shalenberger vote
Of two years ago amounted to about 1900
votes. Adding TO this the few thousand
democrats who voted with me this time be-
cause they felt was entitled to a nomina-
ton and the thousand or more republicans
who voted for me out OF compliment makes
sufficient to preserve party integrity, but
suddenly the liquor question has become
the paramount issue in Nebraska, 10 the
exclusion Of anything else, and just as
many men will do almost anything in secret
to obtain liquor when denied the opportun-
ity to secure II Legally. so 5000 voters
secretly deserted the republican party,
which had declared for county prohibition,
and crept over into the democratic column
In the attempt to nominate q democratic
candidate pledged against the thing their
party is pledged for.
VIII Not Ignore Primary.
I'm a time like this the weak provisions
of the present law supposed to protect the
democratic party in it's right to nominate
its own candidate proved a broken reed.
Many have besought me to ignore this pri-
mary as not binding upon democrats and to
become an Independent candidate before the
voters, but / am one who believes that
when l accepted the terms of battle under
which this political warfare has been
waged. as a good soldier. l should abide by
the results. l bow TO the law Of the land
which has made this situation possible and
hold sacred the oath / took to accept the
verdict OF the primary, but do not admit
yet that / am beaten and shall not do so
until the final canvass Is made. II l am
defeated 1t this time l shall do all that
can in my humble way as a soldier in the
ranks towards the support OF the demo-
cratic candidate and to keep intact the
splendid fighting forces OF the democrats
in Nebraska l have many loyal friends
as candidates upon the ticket and, although
feel that / have been beaten by repub-
licans in a democratic primary, my loyalty
to the party for all that it has done for
me in the past and to the friends over the
state who have supported me makes my
own personal defeat Of little moment to me.

Happenings Of the Past That Con.
WINGED Squire of the Honesty
of the Plaintiff.

Miss Lydia Conley, a Wyandotte
girl, is the only Indian woman lawyer
in the world. At Kansas City, anent a
recent Indian case that she conducted,
she told an interesting legal story.

she said. "That, if your case is just
one, is always the thing to do. You
know the story of the Kansas land
claimant?

man brought suit before the squire to
recover some land that had been out
rageonsly filched from him. His case
was good one, but the other side had
doctored its witnesses-had even doc
tored the plaintiffs witnesses, too
and-up to the time when he took the
stand himself not a jot or title Of
testimony in his favor had been re-
corded.
He, as soon as he was sworn,
turned to the justice and said:

grain, squire, you stood on the scales
