1.-THE state of Nebraska. like all the
west is very progressive in Its politics.
Our people stand for advanced policies in
government. and are for those men who
are in sympathy with advanced policies.
We like men like Taft, La Toilette,
Bourne, Bristow, Cummins and Roosevelt.
We are for Taft for denomination and re-
election. He has stood firm for the western
idea in politics That is a square deal for
all and no marked cards.
TAFT was not fully appreciated by our
people at first, but we have found that he
is our friend. He made some mistakes by
allowing some of the eastern standpat re-
publicans to get too close to his admins
tration, but we have found out that they
cannot control him. You know Nebraska
feels proud Of Taft, because 1t was the
first in the union to endorse his candidacy
in 1908, and we are going to stand with the
rest Of the west for him in 1912.
Taft and AIdrIch.
1--WE like men in the west who have cour-
age and Taft has demonstrated he has all
sorts of courage and lots Of good horse
sense Nebraska in 1912 will hold primary
election and we will vote preferentially
for president and do not believe that Taft
will have any serious opposition for the
republican preferential vote. The republi-
cans are extremely fortunate in the fact
that we enjoy harmony and good leader
ship. Governor Aldrich, our progressive and
brilliant governor, will have no opposition
for denomination. His administration has
been very satisfactory to all our people.
and he is very storing in the west. He would
make a good running mate for Taft.

Senator Norris Brown. one OF the pro-
gressive leaders in the senate from Ne

has pleased our people with his hard fights
for progressive legislation. and We want
to return him to the senate where he may

The Embellishments Tail,

1t is said that the natives OF
southern Arabia still believe that
Christians wear hats only to hide
their horns. Formerly the continent
of Europe was firmly convinced that
the Englishman's neither garments
concealed a tail. As late as the
reign of Edward VI, according to
Bale, can Englishman cannot
travel in another land by way Of
marchandyse or any other honest
occupyinge. but it is most contume-
liously thrown into his tethe THAT
all Englyshmen have tails"
The belief probably arose from
the legend of the 'Kentish long
tails" The people Of Canterbury.
as the legend has it, Knocked at
Beckett as be rode by on an ass, and
they cut off the ass tail, where
fore they and their descendants
we're cursed with tails thenceforth.

countries, and the SANDER eventu-
ally reacted upon England in gen.
eral. Another version substitutes
