To Train Guns on Ballot Festure.

The Governors supporters intend 10 con-
centrate their fire in the debate Wednes-
,iay on the official ballot feature of both
the Cobb compromise and the Meade
Phillips bills The ballot is the same In
both. The Governors friends call 1t a
Joker ballot" designed to give the ms
chine ticket at the primary all the sdvan-
tages possible. This ballot. fashioned after
the pattern of the election day ballot. has
the first column reserved for the organiza-
ton or machine delegates, the other COL
un1ns for the opposition or sauti-machine
tickets The organization ticket may be
voted by marking the cross within the
circle. In other words. according to the
direct primary men, the machine ticket
would merely record vote for the boss,
not for the individual delegates on that
ticket.
Assemblyman Jesse Phillips has come 70
the defence OF this feature of his bill by
declaring that it Is the same kind of ar
rangennent as that on the Election Day
ballot. Direct primary men say there may
be an excuse for facilitating III. straight

voting of the boss ticket in a party primary

Insuraent Movement Dead.

Six months ago there was great talk of
Insurgency" In Nebraska among Republi-
cans Charles Q. Wheedon, OF Lincoln. was
out for the office now held by Senator
Burkett. Wheedon did lots OF talking, and
backed by THE Lincoln Daily Star"
thought for a while that he was for
midable rival OF Burkett
But the wave passed. and Vheedon' s
name is never mentioned now. The move
ment is dead and while Wheedon has not
officially withdrawn from the race, such
action on his part is unnecessary. There
Is lust one Republican candidate for the
Senate and that is Burkett There is no

that office.

ton to strengthen itself. Democrats failed

posed to the initiative and referendum and
were strong enough practically to controi
the Legislature.
Bryan Splits His Party.
The re-entrance of Nebraska into the Re
publican column with the reelection OF
Burkett to the United States Senate and a
clean sweep of all state and many minor
Offices, is presaged by the fight when
Bryan has started within the Democratic
ranks Mr.. Bryan has been turned down
hard, but he has rallied enough OF his Old
time following to practically assure defeat
of the Democratic ticket this fall. Bryan
cannot possibly elect his own candidates.
but he can so divide the vote that no
Democrat can be elected TO a state office,
and i1s addition the state Legislature viii
change it's complexion and become Republi-
can. thus insuring the election of a Re
publican Senator this winter.
When Bryan came home from South
America three weeks ago he found Ne
braska Democracy triumphant, more yirile
and popular than at any time for twenty
years. In one week Bryan changed all this,
put the leaders of that party con the run
and attempted a stampede for county
option.
In another week he dropped county option
and began agitation for special session
of the Legislature TO pass an initiative and
referendum law.
During the third week of his home stay
ing Bryan has so mixed things that the de-
feat of the Democratic ticket is looked upon
as a certainty by Republican leaders
Indeed, there is no doubt but that since
the last paramount issue was launched
by Mr. Bryan the schism In the Democratic
party in Nebraska is more serious than IL
has ever been not even excepting the days
of the free silver fight. when so many old
line Democrats left the party. And with
tie Democrats split to pieces the success OF
the Republicans is assured.
Republican state leaders have been quiet
and have attracted little attention TO the
party this spring. They have given the
Democrats enough rope with which to hang
: themselves While Bryan on one side, Gov
ernor ShaIIenberger on another and Mayor
Dahlman of Omaha on third have wrestled
and fought on the liquor question, Repub-
Iican leaders have remained quiet and have
silently gone on with the upbuilding and
qualification of their party. To-day solid
Republican party, with not break, is fac
ing demoraIized. Democratic army torn

THE BEST RATION FCR
HOGS.
Experiments by College Of
Agriculture Prove Mixed
Diet Superior TO Corn
Alone.

In a recent bulletin the College
OF Agriculture of the University
of Missouri has published the rs.
suits OF a number Of swine feeding
experiments, by E. B. Forbes.
These experiments prove that
corn-good corn-is good feed
for any animal and that there ID
no reason for Withholding IL from
any animal needing food. At the
same time, it is shown that corn
alone is not nearly 80 good or 90
profitable a feed as corn supple
mented by some protoid food such
as tankage, linseed oilmeal or coy
beans.
In hogs fed exclusively on corn
the animal becomes very Fat and
chubby and does not develop
properly; the bones are brittle
and easily broken.
Sixty-five hogs were used in
this experiment and they were
divided into lots Of five each.
Twelve different rations were used
with corn alone in two of them
and corn supplemented with some
other feed in the others.
The hogs fed on corn and lin.
seed oilmeal and those fed on
corn and tankage gained the most
those receiving corn alone were
most unsatisfactory.

receipts will fall of from now on''
said a high official Of the treasury
to the writer. "The recent in
crease in the customs receipts
was largely if not wholly due to
the interruption of business while
the tariff bill was in the making.
Importers held their orders be.
cause OF uncertainty of what the
new rates would be. As soon as
the tariff bill was passed, these
delayed orders were sent abroad
and the increases in the customs
receipts of the past couple u
months are merely temporary and
do not by any means indicate that
the new tariff law is to be much
better revenue producer than the
old one."
"Aldrich is not q candidate for
reelection and therefore is no
longer an ISSUE" Is what the re-

Aldrich in the next congress,

interests, as usual. There is

food price investigation was plan,
ned to defend the tariff law"
Seaatof Stone Of Missouri
making this charge, told the sen.
ate today he rested his speech on
the utterance Of the ''grsat tri-
umvirate which has ruled the
senate, 10, these many years.
"When they speak," he said
"they speak the law as with one
voice. When they decided on it,
the senator from Massachusetts,
(Lodge) made q speech trying to
prove the tariff guiltless of all
participation in the crime of high
prices. The senator from Maine
(Hale) said the committee would
collect material that senator's
would use in the campaign. The
senator from Rhode Island (Ald-
rich), too, gave assurance that
the tariff law was innocent"
Stone then referred to Aldrich
and Hale lsaving the senate and
said there were "omnious rumb-
lings" in the Bay state that Lodge
might follow their example. "If
that untoward event should oo-
cur" he said, ''oh, what would
happen to our brethren on the
other side? Would they be flock
without q shepard? Would the
insurgent wolves, growing even
more and more atrocious, rush in
rampant and deyour ct will?
Heaven only knows what will
happen to our friends, the gentle
enemy, when the spring flowers
come again. Clearly, there are
evil days ahead for the G. o. p"
Stone opposed the extra appro-
pristion Of s66. 900 for the inves-
tigation and then said: "Those
who pose as the specially anoint-
ed evangelS Of the protective sys-
tenn are painfully solicitous to tell
an anxious and somewhat inn
patiently suffering public that
whatever else is to blame, the
blessed tariff is, at least, innocent
Of offense."
Senator Lodge withdrew his
resolution appropriating $500
for additional expenses in inves-
tigating the "high cost Of living"
while Stone was speaking, ,deelar-
ing:
''It is obvious that q vote can
not be reached and ! don't wish
