IDENTIFY doubts his aceeptability to the
party managers, because OF his anti
corporation proclivities. The corpora
tions, we learn from Mr.. Bryan, have
a potent influence with the democratic
party. This lie a frank admission from

leader for fourteen years, but he makes

The corporations, he says, suggested

when he was nominated in 1900 and
1908. Here, now, he offers them the
governor of Georgia. but he says they
will reject him, because he has defied
the corporations and voted FOR
Bryan"
Mr.. Bryan is progressing; he is get
ting away from the hidebound bigotry
OF partisan blindness, and the change
in him is refreshing He is not only
frank enough to oppose the nominee
OF his party for governor of his state,
but he is bold enough to admit, after
all these years Of evasion, that the
interests" the corporations, preda-
tory wealth, which he has so bitterly
condemned, have a controlling influ-
ence in the selection of candidates Of
the democratic party. We may con-
clude, then, that the democratic is the
party OF the trusts, the corporations
and the monopolies, though before he
became as frank as he is today, Mr.
Bryan denounced the republican party
as such.
And who can set himself up as a
better Judge of what the democratic
party is, of what interests control it,
than the man who three times became
its standard bearer. Undoubtedly he
will not be the nominee the next time.
But is he the only man in the party
strong enough to defeat the corpora
tions? II he is, then the party is not
strong enough to be entrusted with
grave responsibility

There isn't much DOUBT that the mayor

frauds in the Douglas county vote II Gov
ernor shallenberger cared to carry the

the voting. He doesn't do II. apparently,
for the reason that there isn't time TO do

but retire gracefully and announce his sup
port Of the ticket.--Lincoln State Journal
Daily digs OF this nature are in
dulged by our esteemed contemporary,
for what purpose we are unable to
fathom. unless it be to create the i'm
preston that extensive frauds have
been and are to be practiced in the
Douglas county election.
This course is so manifestly unfair
that it will be INDUCED in by no other
paper than the State Journal. The
truth of the matter is that the recount
in Douglas county was watched by
able attorneys representing Mr.. Shall
lenberger and Mr.. Dahlman, and II any
apparent fraud had been noticed 1t
would have been seized upon immedi-
ately as a pretext for challenging the
vote. The fact that no evidence was
discovered to support the sweeping
charges of irregularities and that
fewer than 100 votes were changed by
the careful scrutiny of the recount
ought to satisfy any reasonable person
that the primary election in Douglas
county was conducted according to
law, and that the voters of Douglas
county are as honest and as intelligent
as any in the state. In no other COM
munity were the voters confronted by
the perplexity due to an unusually
large and complicated ballot, such as
the bed sheet affair presented here.
The problem presented the voter in
Douglas county at the late primary
was one calculated to try both the
patience and intelligence, and If mis-
take was made 1t was of the head and
not of the heart.
Plenty of material may be found in
the present campaign to furnish topics
for debate between the parties with
out casting nasty slurs at Douglas
county or challenging by innuendo the
integrity of the voters of this com
munity.

American Workman Supreme.

In the United States, more than any
politics. 1t is heard by individual as
pirants for office as well as by great
political parties as a whole and its in
terests are rightly held to be of para
mount Importance. AS a result con-
ditions have been created that have
enabled the American workmen to
reach standard of living attained by
the workmen of scarcely another ma
ton in the world Their wages are
higher, hours are shorter, conditions
of labor better and opportunities of
self-culture superior.
Samuel Gompers made a report of
conditions in Europe upon his return
after studying the situation Of the
working classes in all those countries,
which ought to be read by every voter
who goes TO the polls this fall. He
shows that, while the American scale
of wages is so disproportionately much
larger than any country in Europe as
to render comparison impossible, the
Americans hours of labor, his condi-
lions of employment, his opportunities
for self-improvement are also out of
all proportion with European stand
ards, but nothing more than ought to
obtain. And he throws light on the
much-mooted cheap cost of living ques-
ton in Europe by saving:
Living is cheap to the wage Garner OF
Europe only because he does without what
in America soon becomes a necessity to
him. If the immigrant 20 this country Is
willing to continue living here at the same
level he was obliged to accept in his ma
tive land, he can find II for the same

emhently correct and successful, that.
as Mr.. Gompers points out, with the
/ high wages in America, there is often
a low cost of production" and, he
adds, my facts indicate that money
wages in America in many trades are
! double those paid abroad"
Yet with all this supremacy, Ameri-
can labor is looking for opportunities
to better itself and rightly so. and,
under a continuation of the policies
that have made possible present con-
ditions that betterment is sure 10
come. That is why wage earners ought
to oppose any change in the policies of
this government right now.
