or minority report of the committee
on resolutions.
Mr.. Bryan, seated as a member Of
the Lancaster county delegation, was
upon his feet at nee with a protest
and proffered an amendment that
would modify the intent of the orig
inal motion.
The temporary organization was
made permanent and Chairman Smythe
after a brief speech, selected a COM
mittee on resolutions. Mr.. Bryan
was among the first two of the COM
mittee of seven named. Congressman
Hitchcock made his motion to re-
strict discussion. The opponents of
Mr.. Bryan asserted that if individual
introduction of platform planks had
been permitted, with a speech or
speeches on each one, it would have
materially delayed the progress OF the
body. While they asserted their will
lingness that he should speak on the
minority report, which he was expect
ed to introduce, the action practically
prohibited any other speech from him
in the convention.
Governor Shallenberger received a
great ovation. He said the big con-
v~ention was a f%orerunner of victory in
November, a democratic governor was
so rare in Nebraska that he was not
amazed that others, like Mayor Dahl

that the tariff alone would defeat the
republicans in Nebraska this year. He
defended the acts of the last legisIa-
ture and said that of the 2O7 bills
passed a republican court had only
declared three unconstitutional. He
said the democratic administration
dha reduced taxes and by bringing in
property not previously on the tax list
it had saved the people a million dol
lars a year.

The republican party of Nebraska
has declared for county option. This
fall it will go before the people of the
state with its candidates, endorsing
that issue as a further regulation of
the liquor traffic and pledging the re-
publican candidate for governor to
sign, if he is elected. The party also
declares that the people should have
a right to vote on a constitutional
amendment referring to direct legis-
%lation, or initiative and referendum,
non-partisan control of state institu-
lions, and the hearty endorsement Of
the activity of President Taft in his

reached such heights that the roll call
was temporarily suspended. Likewise
when Judge Frost of Lancaster an
nounced clearly that f~ifty-six votes
from Lancaster county were on the
county option side pandemonium
broke loose. Delegates threw up their
hats and cheered. Old men shook
hands Owe the backs of seats. Others
pounded the seats.
AS inserted in the platform the
county option plank read: For the
further and better regulation of the
liquor traffic in Nebraska we favor
the passage of a county option law
by the next session of the legislature,
and pledge our candidate for governor
if elected, to sign such a law on that
subject as the Legislature may enact"
This vas the plank brought to Lin
coin by Senator King of Osceola and
accepted by the county option leaders.
The Omaha members had stood in
committee for Webster's draft which
related to the liquor question.
Congressman Norris had been
turned down for chairman by a vote
of 2 to l, and had come to the plat
form at the invitation of his success
full opponent, Senator Brown, and had
declared hat the utmost harmony and
understanding prevailed between him
self and the senator. While the reso.
lutions committee was reporting he
appeared a second time, the only di-
rect parts he took in the convention.
He asked permission to introduce an
amendment to the platform as signed
by the entire committee, that relating
to the national administration. He
read 1t as follows:
Every protest against the wrong is
insurging for the fight. We are I'M
alterably opposed to the system known
as 'Cannonism' and are in hearty SYM
pathy with the insurgent movement in
and out of congress. We herewith
urge our senators and representatives
to continue to use their votes and in
fluence along progressive lines in the
future"
Roll call was asked for, but the
chairman finally put it viva voce and
declared it carried.

and that he felt called upon 10 pre-
rent the political burglary of the
state.
The republican party and the pop
ulist party of this state have adopted
county option" said Mr.. Bryan in con-
clusion; IF you do not adopt it, it be
comes an issue. Your speakers say
the tide is turning toward democracy
in national issues; then make your
fight en- them, not in defense of the
liquor traffic"
Mr.. Bryan made no comment after
the vote and in answer to questions
referred to his speech in which he
proclaimed his fealty to the demo-
cratic party and its platform.
Amid a tumult of cheers from the
former followers of William j. Bryan,
Permanent Chairman Smythe of the
democratic platform convention today
read the result of the test vote from
the gathering which practically took
from Mr.. Bryan the democratic leader

The Cow.

Tie dairy COW, if able to express
herself in a way which the human
family would comprehend, might we'll
lay claim to being mans best friend.
She might establish such a claim by
calling attention to the fact that
from her product and from her car
cass man manufactures more of the
necessities of life than from any
other similar source. She furnish
es these necessities to him from in
fancy until such a time as temporal
things are no longer associated with
his existence, and She does it un-
grudgingly and constantly.
In addition TO contributing to mans
necessity and his pleasure, the pros
perity of an agricultural community
is more closely identified with her
than with any other of the domestic
animals. The horse is quite essen
tial in tilling the soil, but where nee
essity requires it the sturdy son of
the COW ear AXE his place, as he
has done in early agricultural section
on earth. The horse can only fur
nish labor and can only return profit
TO Lis owner when conditions are
right for returning satisfactory grain
crops. 1t is a we'll known fact that
the dairy cow is the salvation of the
farmer in times of poor crops as
she is able to convert the rough crops
which are never a total failure, into
dairy productions which always have
a cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves. pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which a farm
becomes less valuable each year and
the whole country less prosperous.
The elimination of the dairy COW
would necessitate an almost revolu-
tionary readjustment of mans tastes
and requirements. 1t would mean
untold suffering and hardship. OF
course she will not be dispensed
with but her value a perhaps best
be appreciated by contemplating such
a loss
She will continue to be mans best
friend as long as the human family
exists and will keep on supplying him
with his greatest needs, just as she
has done through all the ages.-The
National Dairy Union, st. Paul, MINI.

sue for which we have so long stood
is the dominant issue in Nebraska pol
itics." This was all the state conven-
ton of the prohibition party had to
say Tuesday about county option in
an official way. In several addresses,
county option was spoken of in a dis.
paraging manner 1t was called "a
half way measure, based on practical
politics rather than conviction" D. b.
Gilbert the chairman of the state cen.
trail committee, in a stirring exhorta-
ton for party loyalty said, III W can
get 1000 votes this fall on the pro-
hfbition ticket instead of s, goo boiled

good than all the county option wind"
While the platform committee was
drawing up a report the convention
listened to several addresses, T. NJ. c..
Birmingham, who has filed for the,
United States senatorship on three
tickets, made the following state.
nent: Local option is not sufficient
to solve the liquor problem. If all
the states in the union were dry and
the District of Columbia wet, under
our present interstate commerce laws
the whole country would be flooded
with whisky from that territory. Be-
sides we need to make Washington a

insistence on needed legislation. The
county option plank was recommend
ed by the committee, as was also the
administration plank Inc the non-par-
tlsan board of control. The direct
legislation plank came before the con-
vention as an appeal from the major
ity of the committee.
The convention was absolutely in
the hands of the county o%ptionists.
Little had been heard about direct
legislation, but when the appeal from
the committee anne it secured almost
as strong endorsement as the county
option plank. Two days of hard work
by the men who would have had a
compromise or would have had the
platform silent on the liquor question
did not o many of the delegates
from their position. Two hours in
the committee on resolutions failed
to move the majority of one member
from an insistence on a straight plank
declaration. Speeches in the conven
tionsagainst the measure were listened
to with much im~patience. The word
ing of the flank which was adopted
the night before the convention as a
sane and moderate one was finally
forced through the convention by an
overwhelming majority, and amid
