times more good work Is being done by
this nation today than was the case under
the democratic administration. The United

In his introductory remarhs Colonel Me
Cullough said that never in the history OF
this country we're people 50 deeply and
vitality concerned in public questions as they
are today. The opposition Is striving to
make Il appear that here in Nebraska we
are concerned only with local issues. and is
trying 10 pin us down TO one single issue"
said Colonel Mccullough I'VE cannot and
must not overlook the more important and
significant issues to be settled in November
The higher duty before us Is to choose con-
gressmen who will stand for our interests
and TO elect members OF the legislature who
will elect a United states senator. On
these depend the question Of whether or
not the republican party is to be allowed
to continue In power and further develop
the great policies that have worked SO
effectively for the welfare Of the country.
President TAFT is championing all the
policies Exaggerated by Roosevelt and he
must have the support Of the congress and
the people TO bring them to a successful
issue. The republican party is today the
party OF real progress. and is not reaction
airy In any sense. 1t has always been the
ehampion,of the policies which have looked
to the advancement OF human liberty and
the forwarding OF better social conditions.
Even now IL is engaged in clearing away
all the dead timber that would impede its
progress along wise lines"
Colonel Mccullough incisively pointed out
the inconsistency of the alleged backing of
republican insurgents by the democrats, and
instanced 1.-THE case of Congressman Norris.
While vAliantIy leading his little band in
so-called Insurgency. he received the I'M
stlnted applause and encouragement Of the
democrats; but when he is renominated we
find out there is UP against him popuist.
who served in congress without doing any
thing that anybody can recall; and the
leader of the democracy is backing the
opponent of Mr.. Norris because In that
way he hopes TO split the republican party
and win out. We have similar example
In Douglas county, where the only good ex-
cuse that can be offered for the election
OF the democratic candidate for the senate
is that he may then be able to secure more
garden seeds for his constituents"
Colonel Mccullough also dwelt at some
length on the conditions prevailing, when
the Wilson bill was in operation. and con-
trasted them with the unexampled prosper
ity OF today. with the highest wages pre-
Valling everywhere. 1--WE had much better
have high prices and good wages than low
prices and no jobs he said. which ex-
preston caught thegaudlence right where II
was listening. He also emphasized the fact
that Roosevelt and Gornpers have both UNI
quallfediy Endorsed Senator Burkett as a
man to be depended on.
