GOVERNOR WILSON'S address

GOVERNOR WILSON'S address
to the New Jersey electors was
brief but it was to the point.
He said that only
SIVES would be summoned
by him as advisers because
they only were in harmony
with the cause to which he is
committed. The president
elect is entirely right-h he
could not consistently say any
thing else. He has a right to
assume that the reactionaries
are HONEST and that an hon
est reactionary would con-
scientiously advise AGAINST
progressive measures. Why
should he ask advice which he
must necessarily reject? Re-
dictionary democrats who sup
ported the ticket are eligible to
other important positions but
they are not available as advis-
ers.-The Commoner.

and some reasons why farmers

Mr.. Finstad is "A prominent

that he is taking specialized

THE democratic house of
representatives in Nebraska
has adopted a new rule provid-
ing for roll call in committee
of the whole. The committee
of the whole house is where
the enemies of the public vel
fare frequently do their most
skillful work and their agents
in the Legislature work faith
fully for them knowing that
there is no way of putting them
on the written record. Often
these men who are false to the
public interests have their
vote recorded right on the final
roll call. The reform adopted
in Nebraska provides for a roll
call in the committee of the
whole and thus requires every
man to go upon record at every
stage of the proceedings. A
splendid reform it is and thor
oughly in keeping with the
democratic spirit of the day.
