attempting, to detract the attention

NEBRASKA For HARMON.

on the Hon. William Jennings Bryan.
Ii will he recollected that in the last
campaign in Nebraska. Mr. Bryan. who
insists so strongly upon strict party
allegiance on the questions and candi-
dates to whom he has given his ap-
proval. bolted the Democratic nomi-
nations and used his powerful infiu-
ence against the party which had fol-
lowed him blindly for twenty years.
Al the convention on Saturday. the
Nebraska Democrats endorsed by
practically unanimous vote the candi-
dacy of Governor Harmon, of Ohio,
for the Democratic nomination for
President
This is one Of the signs of the times.
1t would seem to indicate that Mr..
Bryan is not so strong at home as we
have been led to suppose: yet we can
not bring ourselves to the point of
abandoning our support of him for the
Democratic nomination next year. He
has his faults, the Democrats were
successful in Nebraska in the last
election. in spite of mis- holt. and ne
has been known TO fail in some Of the
other states of the Union in still
other elections. but with undiminished
confidence in his inherent strength

that we are in no sense moved from

Can the country run the risk Of hav-

PROGRESS OF GAME PROJECTION

The United States Biological Survey
has for several years issued an annual
bulletin relative to the progress of
issue reviewing Legislation along this
line in 1910 has lately made its APP
pearance. beginning with the state
ment that the year 1910 was mark ed
by steady progress in the movement
for the increase of game by propaga-
ton and the establishment of game
preserves"
Not many Legislative bodies were in
session in 1910. but in practically every
state where there was legislative
session. some action was taken with
a view to making the game laws more
effective. In Louisiana. Mississippi,
Oklahoma and South Carolina. the
warden service was made stronger
In some other States the laws were
amended with the object of Bringing
about greater uniformity of hunt
ing seasons. Oklahoma appropriated
$4,000 for game propagation Mary
land Massa chusetts and South Caro-
lima established bag limits for the arst
time. In various other States there
were amendments to existing laws,
putting closed season on certain
kinds of game where extinction is
threatened. Some States effected
changes in their license laws Yer
mont established the Office OF State
ornithologist. Massa chusetts provid-
ed for the publication of a spacial
report on the game birds of the State
The Biological Survey is of opinion
that few retrograde measures have
heen passed of late. Louisiana opened
a season for robins. blackbirds and
gulls. and Mississippi has permitted
dove shooting in July. These are the
chief backward steps that have been
taken. The tendency, almost every
where. is toward the conservation of
all kinds of game. and in all sections
of the country there is evidence that
the question is receiving much more
attention that formerly

has SHE'D into the ring a string of
questions. nineteen in number, to be
asked of the Presidential candidates.
as follows:
DO you favor tariff for revenue only?
DO you favon free raw material and
the placing of revenue duty only on
manufactured goods?
DO you believe that in the revision
of the tariff the element OF protection
should be given consideration?
Do you believe that the three
branches OF government are co-ordi-
nate and that each one should keep
within it's constitutional sphere?
Oh decision wherein the United States

do you believe that in view of Supreme
Court legislation Congress should make

unreasonable?

Do you favor the income tax?
Do you believe that 1t is the duty
OF the American people to promise in
dependence to the Filipinos imme-
diately and to give 1t in the same
way In which they gave independence
to the Cubans?
DO you believe in the publicity of
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures both before and after election
day, In order that the people may know
In advance the character OF support
each party and candidate receives?
Are you willing that the source of
every dollar OF contribution made to
your campaign fund either after your
nomina ton or during the contest for
the nomination shall be made public
prior to election day?
Do you believe in the support Of

Do You indorse the labor planks of
the 1908 platform?
Do You believe in the strict regula-
ton of railroads?
DO you indorse the Democratic plat
form OF sos respecting trusts, wherein
1t declares that "a private monopoly
is indefensible and intolerable." and
presents a remedy?
Do you approve the plan known as
the Aldrich currency scheme?
Do you favor asset currency in any
form?
Do you believe in the establishment
of what is known as central bank?
Do You favor legislation compelling
banks to insure depositors?
We do not know how many OF these
questions must he correctly answered
in order to prove the availability Of
the candidate for President. but they
are very interesting questions, even If
they are not essentially Democratic
questions Probably the candidates will
not answer them, and there is no
reason why they should. The issue
upon which the next Presidential
campaign should be fought is the tarir
issue. and the true Democratic prin-
ciple is tariff for revenue only. That
