MIR. BRYAN's POSITION.

Mr.. Bryan's announcement of his
attitude in the present campaign ought
to be sufficient answer to those fanati-
cal and prejudiced people who are at
tempting to besmirch the personal
character of James G. Dahlman. We
may wisely and fairly differ from Mr..
Dahlman on some of the things which
he espouses, but we can not honestly
and fairly attack his private record as
n citizen. As the matter now stands
Dahlman stands more than fair show
of election. If his opponents under
take to make their campaign on abuse
of the man instead of argument against
the things he stands for as candidate,
they will elect him by an overwhelming
majority.
In the language of an old-time poll
tician, "Party lines are shot all to
hell in this campaign" Reduced to
its last analysis this is a campaign for
or against prohibition. That it is at
tempted to disguise it beneath the
cloak of county option will not deceive
anybody, and the attempt to thus de-
ceive is not to the credit of those who
make such pretense of virtue.
We may not wholly agree with Mr..
Dahlman on some things which he ad-

vocates, but we may at least, like Mr..
Bryan, give him credit for having the
manhood and the courage to stand out
in the open instead of trying to mas
querade.
This is not a campaign of men, but
of measures. AS for this humble little
newspaper, it prefers to support a
square and honest man on a poor plat
form rather than trimmer and a
dodger on platform. Bad men
will not carry out a good platform,
but honest men will minimize the evils
of bad platform.
Do not be deceived by any efforts
that may be put forth to make this a
campaign of personalities. The issues
are clearly joined, and upon those
issues the campaign should be fought.

Business Agent Eissler of Local No.

representing the local at the annual
convention of the Brotherhood. While
there Mr.. Eissler will attempt to have
the Brotherhood take cognizance of
the situation in this neck o. the woods
and make a special appropriation for
missionary work here and hereabouts.
The convention is the largest in the
history of the Brotherhood, and Des
Moines is showing the delegates and
visitors the time of their lives. The

most 1 1000 members and is one of the
biggest locals in the United States.

THE CANDIDACY OF HITCHCOCK.


In Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock the union
lists of Nebraska have candidate for
United States Senator for whom they
may vote with confidence. 1t is high
partisan politics they will never find
a remedy for present day evils, but
that in order to win they must disre-
gard partisanship and vote for men
openly in sympathy with every right
eous aim and object of organized
labor.
Organized labor should vote solidly
for those candidates for senate and
congress who are known to be stead
tasty opposed to government by in
junction, prosecution of labor organiza-
tions under the Sherman antitrust
law, protection to trusts and combine
can labor, and further encroachments
of the Judiciary upon the functions
of the legislative and executive de-
partments of the government.
organized labor on all of these points.
Organized labor should vote solidly
for those candidates for senate and
house who are in favor of postal saw
ings banks that mean something, rail-
road regulation that means something,
employers liability laws that mean
something, workingmen s compensation
acts that mean something, assumption
risks laws that mean something. Gill
bert NJ. Hitchcock stands for all of
these things in a measure that will
do justice to the wage earners with
out doing injustice to the employers.
Mr.. Hitchcock is one of the largest
employers of union labor in the west.
The World Herald, which he owns and
publishes, is union throughout. He has
never had any labor troubles in his
establishment He has always been
ready to confer with the unions rep
resented in his establishment, and he
has always been known as just and
generous employer.
Mr.. Hitchcock is a democrat-a fact
that should not, among organized wage
earners, count either for or against him.
All that they should consider is how
he stands toward organized labor and
how his principles square with those
of the labor organizations.
He is opposed to any such tariff law
as we now have, but he is not free
trader. He believes that the highest
measure of protection needed, and the
highest justified, is a tariff that will
make up the difference between the
cost of production abroad and the cost
of production at home. He is the real
father of the postal savings banks. He
has always been steadfast in his oppo.
sition to corporate control of govern
mental affairs. His vote on all meas
ures conducive to the welfare of labor
has always been cast upon the right
side. His record in congress is as
straight as a string and his record as
an employer of labor is one that should
commend him to wage earners.
The Wageworker, which knows
neither politics nor religion when ii
comes to the support of candidates
for public office, believes that organ
lied workingmen will honor themselves
by supporting, working for and voting
for Gilbert M. Hitchcock for the United
States senate.

THE COMET.

Those who have investigated
the matter inform us that Hal
jey's comet is now on exhibition
about 4 o'clock in the morning.
The show is not worth the price
of admission, however, for the
comet at this time does not
differ much from an ordinary
cheap star. It's tail is not long
enough to attract any particular
attention even among Othe'
heavenly bodies without any
tails at all. Along about May
18th the comet will have ac-
quired a tail worth talking
about. At that time it will ap-
pear in the west just after sun
down and those who are inter-
ested can view this wanderer of
the heavens without losing any
sleep. 1t is figured by some
long whiskered scientists that
the earth will pass through the
immense tail of the comet. What
the consequences may be we do
not know, but it would be well
to be ready for the comet when
it cometh. Those who have any
repenting to do should manage
to have it all done and be ready
to look the comet in the eye.
