NEBRASKANS' LIKE
PARTY'S PLATFORM
Think It Broad Enough for All Good
Americans to Stand Upe
. Together.
STAGE SET FOR NOMINATION
BY EDGAR c. SNYDER.

Chicago, June Especial Tele-
gram. $50 far as the republican ma.
tional convention is concerned, the
stage is set for presidential nomina-
ton by II o'clock tomorrow night.
The platform has been adopted; the
rules of 1908 with modifi atoms to
suit changes endorsed, the several
contests happily settled; the tenn
porary organization made permanent
and it is now up to the delegates to
the convention to get down to the
business that called them to this rain
bedraggled, sewer-stopped, mud
coagulated metropolis of mighty
west, namely to nominate ticket that
will be triumphantly elected on Nov.
ember T.
Of the platform much will be writ
ten in praise or criticism in the CON-
ing months. Its brevity will attract or
repel Its ringing declaration as to
labor, its recognition Of equal suf-
frage, but passing its enactment to
the several states. will be praised or
condemned dependent upon just how
much of suffragist one is. Its Amer
icanism is pronounced, its economic
features reflective of the best tradi-
tions of great party.
Jansen Likes It.
Peter Jansen Of Beatrice, one of the
strong, virile men Of really very
great convention, wheel horse in re-
publican ranks for many years, and
the Nebraska member of the commit,
tee on resolutions, said of the plat
form:
at is one that any republican can
stand upon. 1t is that precise and
tense. Enough material was presented
to the committee on resolutions to
fill an American encyclopedia on poll
tics. 1t is American to the core and
the platform ought to be acceptable to
labor and to capital alike. 1t ought
to be acceptable to stalwarts and pro.
gressives alike"
In this connection 1t may not be out
Of place to say that the resolutions
committee had long and sometimes
heated debate over proposed section
relating to compulsory military edit
cation in the co nmon schools. Peter
Jansen was a pronounced opponent OF
the proposition, which was finally de-
feated by vote of % to l9.
Then. too, the committee had a

spirited fight over the suffrage plank,
several substitutes being offered to
the plank as originally prepared, But
after full and free discussion" ii
was finally decided to accept the short
form on suffrage as it now appears.
+. NJ. Pollard of Nebraska and a
delegate from the First distict, voiced
his appreciation OF the platform by
saying, 81 am glad the resolutions
committee included suffrage in the
platform. This is one of the best
evidences of the tendencies OF the re-
publican party and shows that the
party of Lincoln, Grant and McKin-
ley is abreast of the time. The plat
form as a whole is most inspiring,
the best in my time. 1t is broad
enough for every American to stand
on" But Pollard is not the only mem
Der of the Nebraska delegation to get
"chesty" over the platform, o. R.
Thompson of Wisner being another
booster for the skillful ,partisanship
shown in its construction.
Howard Baldrige was compelled to
retire to his hotel today on account
of a mild attack of indigestion.

SIX THOUSAND DIE IN

Ottawa, June o.-Upwards Of 5000
Canadians haye fallen within week
in the desperate fighting in and
around Sanctuary Woods, according
to a statement made by Major Cen
eral Samuel Hughes, minister of mil
tia, in presenting colors to a Cana
dian regiment on Parliament hill to-
day.
"The great majority, wounded" he
said, already are clamoring to get
back into the fray, but many of the
gallant lads have gone down never to
rise again. We deeply mourn their
loss, but that loss affords an inspira-
ton for tens Of thousands more to
take their place"

Alcohol and Pneumonia.

The United States public health
service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. 1t
declares that alcohol is the hand
maiden of the disease which produces
ten per cent. of the deaths in the
United States. This is no exaggera-
ton. We have known for a long
time that indulgence in alcoholic Ii
quors lowers the individual vitality,
and that the man who drinks is Pc
culiarly susceptible to pneumonia.
The United States public health ser
vice is a conservative body. 1t does
not engage in alarmist propaganda.
In following out the line of its Of
fetal duties it has brought forceful-
ly to the general public a fact which
will bear endless repetition. The
liberal and continuous user of alco-
holic drinks will do we'll to heed this
warning, particularly at this season
of the year when the gruesome death
toll from pneumonia is being dou-
bled.

l wish to tell you the good results
myself and husband received from DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root. About eleven
years ago | had a severe attack Of
La Grippe and was confined to my
bed about eight weeks under the doc
tors care. He pronounced my case
kidney trouble and rheumatism and
not receiving the results from the
doctors treatment | should have re-
ceived, | decided to try Swamp-Root.
After taking several bottles of
Swamp-Root | was able to get up and
attend to my work. About a year
later my husband was affected with a
severe attack of kidney trouble and
doctored for some time with the doc
tors and received no benefit. Know
ing of the good I had received, he de-
cided to try Swamp-Root. His con-
dition was such that he was confined
to his bed and words cannot tell how
he suffered, but after taking Swamp
Root he was relieved so he could go
on with his work without pain. |
wish to heartily recommend Swamp
Root to all persons afflicted with kid
ney and bladder troubles and you
may publish this letter if you wish.
