FIRST VOTERS.

The first voters have a clear duty to
perform in the pending election. Lest
they forget they should reject on his
tory SO recent as to hardly seem worth
reviving SO far as older persons are
concernesl-those who had a part in
making it and enduring the conse-
quences.
Only once in fifty years has the
democratic party had full control of
governmental affairs. That four year
period should be studied by the young
men who have no recollection what
happened. They ought to know how
democratic success became an instan-
taneous failure. The country then had
no confidence in the sagacity of demo-
cratic statesmen. Big business con-
Germs Immediately began curtaiIing
their output and cancelling orders for
material. Confidence was shocked.
When nobody believed in the future
of business because the business con-
Germs did not believe in the democratic
party it spelled panic.
These young men who are voters
now were boys then who had no sense
Of the gravity Of the situation. Do
they think the democratic party has
learned how TO govern since then when
it has had no experience? II they
think panic would he good thing;
if they think the people are living SO
riotously as to threaten the safety Of
the country and that they ought to be
taught a lesson in hardship and
poverty and suffering in order TO bring
them hack I" economy in living. per-
haps there would be some sense in
their voting Ia put democracy in
power. Still they should be very |
careful Of their diagnosis Of the situa-
ton lest they mistake mere tempo
rary disorder for q functional disease.
We do not believe the farmers of
Nebraska need to have another such
object lesson. They have come into
} period Of we'll earned and we'll de-
'erved prosperity. 1t would be folly
Tor them to undertake . reversal of
policies under which they have made
'uch great progress toward comfort
md competence.
The young voters should consult
heir elders with respect to the ability
# democrats to govern before they
lecide to put them in position of
'ower.-Fremont Tribune.

DAHLMAN'S BEST ASSET.

The Lincoln Star, q paper opposed
to the election of Dahlman, tenders
the Lincoln Journal and other mud
singing organs throughout the state
some common sense advice. The Star
says:
"More men have probably been
elected to Office BY the reaction of
unbridled denanciation than have ever
been elected upon their merits. There
are mighty few newspaper men, and
probably no political stump speakers,
who have not more than once awaken
ed after election to the realization of
the fact that they have materially
aided in the election Of the man they
tried their verybest to defeat, and have
done it in over.zeal that led them into
q too vigorous denunciation.
personal abuse of q candidate for
office Is always resented by the masses,
and should be resented. Every can
didate's official record, if he has one,
is open to just criticism. Every can
didate for public p,eferment is sup
posed to stand for something. If one
entertains an objection for that which
he stands. it is right enough for the
Directing citizen to speak out in
opposing it.
"A good many of the we'll meaning
people Of the state, including also some
of the more vigorous newspapers. have
started out As if they may be likely in
the end to help elect Dahlmau COVER

opposition they are putting up against
him. 1t is not going to accomplish
any benefit to the opposition to Dahl.
man to continue hearing personal
abuse upon him.
ut is what he stands for that must
be denounced If he is to he beaten.
Nothing would please Jim Dallman
any better than to have the radical
county option papers keep up the line
Of comment into which they have
entered. He would be willing to pay
something for their seeming abuse, for
it is q cinch that Jim Dahlman is q
shrewd and sagacious politician.
ut is just as well to bear in mind
that in the primaries Mr.. Dahlman got

David City, Neb., Sept. 19.-Hon.
Richard L. Metcalfe, Lincoln. Neb.
My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
letter Of the 18th inst, in which you
state your intention to give me your
support in my candidacy for the Office
of governor of Nebraska. l regret
my inability to express in words my
appreciation of your action not alone
for the great good your support will do
my candidacy, but for the greater
service you will thus render the state
in the fight now on for civic righteous.
ness. l count it one of the highest
honors of my life to he chosen by you
As your candidate for governor and
am delighted to accept your support.
Your voice and your pen will bring
thousands of men to the cause of good
government.
l agree with you that the overshad.
owing issue in this campaign is IS to
whether the people or the liquor trust
shall rule in this commonwealth.
That is the question. If We cannot
trust the people. whom can We trusts
Like yourself, l have nothing per-
sonal against my opponent, James G.
DahIman. but am eternally opposed
to Dahlmanism. It disregarils law.
It par,lons the most vicious criminals.
1t prostitutes womanhood, degrades
manhood and damns childhood. It
corrupts politics, destroys homes, fills
jails, prisons, asylums and graves with
its deludei victims. Therefore, /
welcome you and the thousands Of
patriotic democrats who will follow
you and who will fight shoulder with
us in this crusade against one of the
most stupen.lous, most thoroughly
equipped and financed conspiracies for
the control and debauchery of the
peoples government by the liquor
trust ever planned in the history of
American politics. Your action in
placing the cause of the people above
your party fills me with a confidence
that right will triumph in this contest.
l confidently believe that 10000 vot.
ers Of all political parties will 60 to
the polls next November in this be-
loved state Of ours and cast their bal
lots against Dahlmanism and thus en-
throne the people in the control of their
own government. Very truly yours.

BRYAN BOLTS DAHLMAN.

Mr.. Bryan has given out the follow.
ing letter for publication:
81 am just leaving for Missouri and
shall be absent practically all of the
time for about month, campaigning
in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Indiana
and Illinois. After that shall be at
liberty to speak for Mr.. Hitchcock,
the democratic candidate for congress
and for the state ticket in Nebraska.
In speaking for the state ticket, how.
ever, shall not be able to present any
arguments in favor of the election of
Mr.. Dahlman. His position on the
liquor question makes that impossible.
81 regret this exceedingly for he has
been political and personal friend
for twenty years and it would give me
pleasure to speak for him if l could
endorse the policy for which he stands,
but he has chosen to make the liquor
question the paramount issue and
makes his appeal on that issue.
"In spite of the fact that the last
democratic state convention voted
down declaration against county
option by vote of 63S to POP, he says
that he will veto a county option bill
if passed and in spite of the fact that
the state convention endorsed the S
O'Clock closing law by vote of Toto
163 he announces that he will sign
bill repeating it if such a bill is passed.
He is making his appeal on non.par.
tisan lines with the liquor question as
the sole issue. His courage is to be
commended. 1t is an honest way Of
making a campaign, although it COM
pels him to squeeze himself from
friends who do not agree with him and
to rely for such making up on those
democrats and republicans who take
his view on the subject.
Possibly it is just as we'll to have
the issue clearly presented go that it
may be settled this year instead of two
years hence. Troublesome as the
question is now. it would be even more
embarrassing if presented in 1912,
when We have a presidential election
on hand. If Mr.. Dahlman is elected
it will be declaration by the voters
of the state against county option and
against the s o'clock closing law. If he |
is defeated it will be a declaration in |
favor of county option and in favor of
the s o'clock closing law. In other |
words, the voters now have an oppor-
tunity to decide which way the state |
shall 60, backward or forward. To
present arguments in favor Of going |
backward would not contradict what |
1 have already said on the subject, but
would embarrass me in the fight that
I expect to make hereafter to save our
party from the odium of being the
representative of the liquor interests"
