the very best thing that could have
happened to the Democracy. To

to be relieved that no man can be

Of wealth, hence it was that the
nomination was first rendered to
Wi'hers. Under such circumstances
the poor man has nothing TO vote
for. unless lie gets his small portion

every poor man who is voter feels
that by voting for him he is voting
for man whose interests are If rot

and therefore. regardless of party,
he becomes enthusiastic for his cleo

This is the primary reason why
Hamilton will he elected in Novem-

cause of the position taken by the
Democratic nominee on the liquCi
question. The tatement, which
IN way is apologies to none,
does not indicate that Mr.. Bryan
will support the candidate of any
other party, but announces that he
is pronounced advocate of county
option and the early saloon closing
law, both OF winch he insists are
menaced by Mr.. Dahlmun candida

shall be at liberty to speak for Mr.
Hitchcock, the Democratic candi-
date for Congress, and for the State
ticket in Nebraska.
I'm speaking for the state ticket,
however, ! shall not be able to pre-
sent any argument in favor of the
election OF Nv, Dahlman. His po-
sition on the liquor makes that inn
possible I regret exceedingly. fJr
he has been political and personal
friend for twenty years, aud it
would give me pleasure to speak for
HIM if L coul in1orso the policy for
which he stands, but ho has chosen
to make the fq1or question the par
amount issue and makes his appeal
on hat issue. IL spite Of the flct
that the lisJ Democratic State Con-.
yentlOn voted down n declaration
against comfy option by vote of
68S to 292, he says that he will veto
a county option bll. if passed, and
il. spite of tie fact that the State
convention indorseI the 9 o'clock
closing law by a vote of 10 to 1913,
he annou ces that he Will sign a
bill repeating i. il such bill is
passed. II is making his appeal
on nonpartisan lines with the liquor
question as to tue sole issue.
His courage is t. I've CO mmrnded.
1t is al honest way of making a
campaign although it compals him
to separate himself from friends who
do not og,oe with HIM and to rely
for speechluaking upon those Dem
ocrats and Republicans who take
Lis side of the subject
Possibly it's Just as well to have
the issue clearly presented 50 that it
may be settled two years hence
Troublesome rs the question Is now,
1t would be even more embarrassing
if presented in 1912, when We have
q presidential election on hand. II
Mr. Dahlman is elected it will be
declaration by the voters Of the
State against county option aud
against the s o'clock closing law
If he is defeated il will he n decla-
ration in favor of, county option and
in favor CT the o'clock closing law.
In other words, the voters now have
an opportunity to decide whether
the State shall so backward or for
ward on the liquor question. To
present arguments in favor of going
backward would not only contradict
what ] have already said on the sub
jet, but would Gmbarrass me in the

victory for Democracy there.
Arkansas on Tuesday joined Ore
