5y cer expects to get & minority nomination and he will not support a minority nominee. The gentleman cannot get out of it that way. David H. Mercer is not golng to ask for a nomination at the hands of the minority or a plurality. I am a mem- ber of that committee, but I want to say to my distinguished opponent that 1 am not David H. Mercer's man or any other man’s man. I represent on that committee the republicans of this district and that committee will run those primaries or the convention fairly, orderly, honmestly and nccording to the good old American rule of majority. (Applause) Now then, I want to ask my distinguished opponent again, If David H. Mercer is the nominee of the republicans of this Second congreesional district, will he support him or will he not? Ihavea right to ask that question, my friends. My distinguished op- ponent may call me inquisitive, but that isa question which every republican in this dis- trict has a right to ask; that is a question when the gentlemen agreed to hmeet me here tonight in debate he had a right to expect would be asked, and it is expected he will answer it. 1 ask him to answer it now. Voices—He can't. (Applause). MR. ROSEWATER. My very distinguished opponent has held me up to scorn for resigning from the na- tional committes. I néver made a secret of that—I did resign from the national com- mittee. I regarded it as a matter of honor to support the nominces of the party from top to bottom so long as I was & member of the national committee and 1 resigned from that committee when I could not con- sclentiously support Mr. Majors. (Ap- plause) But my friend here is a member of the congressional committee of this dis- trict. Did he resign when he made up his mind to bolt the ticket as he did in 1900, when he tried to give us two democratis United States senators or a vacancy? He re- mained on that committee while giving ald and comfort to the common enemy. Why d1d not he have the decency to say to repub- licans that they should fill his place with ® man who would be loyal to the ticket from top to bottom? Why did He not re- sign? Why did he go down to Lincoln afterward and try to keep in thelr se: the democrats or fusion members whose seats wero contested? \Why does he defend such scoundrels as that man Mitchell, who trumped up the most idiotic charge that I had sought to induce him as chiet of police of South Omaha at 1 o'clock In the after- noon to raid the ballot boxes of South Omaha and destroy the ballots. That in- famous story was part of the comspiracy into which these men had entered in order to defraud the legitimate voters of this dis- trict. Some day when we get to the bottom of the South Omaha election frauds they will be pretty thoroughly ashamed of them- selves. 1 do not propose to answer the question of Mercer's candidacy until I am face to face with the issue. I want to see first whether a majority is secured for him by an honest, square primary. (Applause.) I suppose I am the master of my own con- sclence and I am not accountable to any man for what I do. I will support repub- lcans that support republicans when there 15 no flaw in their title. flaw in the title of that legislative delega- tion; there was po flaw in the vote that the people gave, and Mr. Mercer sought to subvert the expressed popular will and destroy our system of self-government and attempted to establish a system of anarchy; for it would be nothing less than anarchy to change the publicly expressed will of the people, expressed in conformity to the provision in our constitution, that g\ves every citizen the right to instruct his representative for whom they should vote in the election of senators. What would be thought today of Senator Jones of Arkansas If he should turn back and attempt to overthrow the popular will now ‘when the democratic primaries of Arkansas have declared for Clark for United States senator? The Arkansas legislature is not yet in sesslon. What would be thought of Rim If be should return to his state and try (o decoy members instructed on that frsue from thelr alleglance? He would be despised of all men. 1 want to ask my friend why he has not explained why the quartermaster's supply Aepot was kept in the pocket of Mercer? That bill was introduced by Senator Thurs- ston in February, 1900. It passed In the senate in the month of May and Mr. Mercer had ample time to report it. The speaker told me personally that he referred it to him in preference to the committes on military affairs, because he belleved he would report it, but he did not. He kept it In his pocket and let it dle out of pure spite and malice because he did not waat to give Thurston or anybody else credit for the bt WOTK done. We want a congressman who is loyal and who is (dentifled with us, and not a man who s identified simply with corporate in- terests which control him absolutely. MR. GURLEY, My distingulshed opponent wanted to know why I did not tell you something about that quartermaster's supply depot. I thought I had explained that very early in the game, but if he does not understand It I will try to explain it agalp. If that quartermaster's supply depot bill, In which my distinguished opponent is ply terested, had gone through, we would have lost the offices of the headquarters of the Army of the Platte, for the city of Omabs. Kansas City and St. Louls were making a vigorous fight for those offices. If the quartermaster's supply depot had gone down to the old postoffice bullding, o that the government of the United St ‘would bt had to pay from $9,000 to $12,000 a year rent for three or four years until the ‘wings of the new federal bullding were com- pleted, we would have lost those offices to Omahs. It was of some value to the pecple of Omaba that they should be per- manently retained bhere and walt a little while for the quartermaster (Loud applause.) David bhas already introduced a bil viding for an appropriation of $75,000 for & quartermasters’ supply depot in this eity, It has been recommended for passage by the committee and will pass the house this session. We will get that depot all right. That is not what is troubling my friend. pro- It is net the depot. It is the eore feeling ‘Which has been there rankling ever since, in 1900, the rent of from $9,000 to $12,000 & year, whatever it was, was turned aside from his pocket into the treasury of the &overnment of the United Stal That s what is the trouble with my friend. Why, it it was not that, would he be here talking &bout the lobby of 18577 Why would he be here exhibiting the ledger of the Capitol Botel” You went all over that in 1882, when Mercer first ran, dida’t you? You tried to smirch him then, when he was young, when he was unknown, but it did not work. Do you think it will work now, when he stands before this people known, honored and respected: Do you think you can smirch him with the old charges and the old slanders now? It is too late.

It also provided that | Just as soon as the west wing of the new | bullding was completed then the army was to move out of the old bullding into | the new bullding. The old building was to| be retained as a quartermaster’s supply depot. The bill that Mr. Mercer has in- troduced now is a quartermaster's ware- house. The other was & quartermaster’s supply purchasing station. The army had moved out of The Bee bullding in July, 1900. Mercer held the bill in hie pocket for nine months after the army headquarters had been In the old post- office bullding. This trumped up charge falls to the ground. There is not a scin- tilla of truth in it. 1 want to ask my friend another thing: It Mr. Mercer hpd been so loyal to his constituency, why bas he acted as if the cadetships at the disposal of every con- gressman were his personal property? Why has he not given the same opportunity to all the deserving boye of Omaha and the district tbat was given by W. J. Con- nell, that was given by W. J. Bryan, that given by Judge Crounse and the other congressmen who have represented us? Why has he given these cadetships only to the young men to whose fathers he was under some political obligation and never allowed the other boys to compete and get an opportunity? The result of his miser- sble way of appointing has been that two- thirds of the boys recommended fatled either on account of physical or mental disability, and this district. has sent to West Point and Annapolls simply boys whose fathers had put Mercer under some obligation. One of these is the son of Thomas Blackburn. Now, Mr. Blackburn's son is a deserving boy, well qualified, per- haps, but he should have contested that place with every other boy in the district who had an ambition to be educated for the navy at the expense of the United States (Applause.) I want to know why Mr. Mercer has done mothing in the District of Columbla except for his friends on the wife's side? I want to know why Mr. Mercer has dis placed two union veteran soldiers who were employed in the capitol buiflding and put in their places two residents of Minnesota who have no claim upon him? Why is it that Nebraska {s not represented in place of Minnesota? My friend has not answered me yet, whether Mr. Mercer Intends to stay In Omaha in case we do not re-elect him. He has not answered definitely any question about the next term. Mercer will always want a next term. Within the last week he declared at hington he was going to have this con- gressional campaign when he got good and ready. He has the congressional commit- tee and he proposes to hold the convention and the primary whenever it pleases him. With the machinery in his hands Mercer proposes to force himself upon the repub- licans of this district whether they want him or not. Is It mot our privilege to select public servants whom we consider worthy? Are we to be compelled to keep perpetually the same representative in Washington as If the position was heredi- tary? In debating Mercer's claims it mat- ters nothing what policy T have advocated or what I have done in years past. Suffice it to say, my friend had no right to remain on the congressional committee when he could mot in honor support the ticket the last time. He has not anewered a single one of my questions vet. city, our district, our state sud the west. His poseibilities for future service mever were greater than they are today. We need him more than he needs us. This is our battle, not his. Shall we yield to the cry for private vengeance? Shall we make terms with malice. Shall we vindicate mom? Shall we surrender to spite? No, & thousand times no! Volces—No, no. I belleve I speak for the business in- terests of this district, for the laboring interests of this district, for its manhood, for its independence, for its courage, aye, for its gratitude, when I predict the tri- umphant renomination and re-election of the most faithful public servant this dis- trict has ever kmown, David H. Mercer. (Loud applause). PRATTLE OF THE YOUNGSTERS, “Why did you pray so loud for a bicycle, Tommy?" asked his sister. “God Isn't deat.” | “No,” replied G-year-old Tommy, “but | papa can’t hear very well.” “I think the man in the moon must be elck,” sald little Fred one dark night. hy, dear?” asked his mother. use,” replied the youthful observer, “he didn’t light up tonight.” Little May—Mamma, do dogs get mar- ried? Mamma—Certainly not, my dear. Little May—Then what right bas Rover to growl at Flossle when they are eating thelr breakfast? Mamma—Yesterday 1 gave you a dime to be good and today you are evidently trying to see how bad you can be. Little Johnnie—That's all right, mamma, I'm proving to you that you got the worth of your mouey yesterday. Little Nellie—Uncle Will sald the other day tbat he was as happy as a lark. Do you suppose a lark is very happy? Little Robert—I should say not. Why, I read in a book that a lark gets up befors sunrise every morning. Harry, aged 5, was looking over his sis- ter's geography one day when he finally asked: “Mamma, did God make the ocean?” “Yes, dear,” replied his mother. “Well,” sald the small philosopher, “I'll bet it rained awful hard the day before.” Sunday School Teacher—Do you say your prayers every night before going to bed? Willle (aged 5)—Yes, ma'am. Sunday School Teacher—That's right. But tell me why you say them? Willle--Cause I sleep in a foldin' bed. A young minister, seeking to impress the beauties of nature upon his class of New York boys, had been describing the gradual unfolding of the springtime. Pausing im- pressively at the end of his speech, he ked: Now tell me, boys, in your own lan- guage, what comes in the spring?”’ “The rent man!" quavered a pathetic lit- tle treble. Again the developer’s enthuslasm was chilled when urging upon his puplls the im- portance upon the Friday evening exer- I thank you for the kind attention you have given me and I trust you will give the matter presented tonight your earnest consideration. (Loud applause.) MR. GURLEY. Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: The gentleman has presented his case. What argument has he advanced? What reason has he given; what sentiment has he ap- pealed to which strikes a responsive chord in any republican heart? Has he convinced this audience that what he said of Mer- cer in '08 and '98 was not true? Has he been able to show any declime in the in- fluence, in the power or in the repub- lcanism of our representative? Fellow republicans, you are to nominate the mext congressman from this district. It is not in the power of any one man to nominate. It is pot in the power of any one man to defeat. Yours s the duty. Yours is the power. Where will you stand? The issue is clear and well defined. Shall an alleged republican, who does not hesitate to that he will defeat the party unless his will be substituted for the will of the people, shall & vaunting traitor who pro- claims his treacherous intent before the hour of battle, be placed in command of the troops? (Cries of no, no.) Has Nebraska no pride in her own? David H. Mercer is of Nebraska, reared on her prairies, educated in her common schools, working his way through her umiversity, he stands today in the congre of the United States representa- tive, typical of the traditional spirit of the great west, the spirit which commands the respect and challenges the recognition of the east. He has dome much for our clses. “Remember, children,” sald the pastor, “our church is open on Friday as well as on Sunday. On the Sabbath day we have the regular morning and evening services. Now"—with a blandly expectant look— “what yo we have on Friday?” “Fresh fish, sir!” answered the boys. LABOR AND INDUSTRY. Pittsburg's May-day strike s eald to have canceled $24,000,000 of proposed new bullding operations. The Continental Tobacco company of St. Louls has given notice to its 6,000 factory employes in St. Louls of a 10 per cent in- crease in wag Moving an §000-ton bridge fifteen feat in New Jersey on a recent Sunday, without interrupting public travel, was one of the little incldents that testity to the large de- velopment of modern engineering. A bill s proposed by the trades unions of Wales to define liability. No action is to be taken against a trades union for the recov- ery of damages sustained by any person unless it be proved to have the sanction and authority of the trades union rules. A movement has been quletly started in 8t. Louls for the organization of Pullman conductors and porters. The conductors are dissatisfled with the present wage schedule, and as soon as the organization {s perfected will make a demand on the company for an advance ranging from 35 fo 310 & month. In the United States there are 60,000 Pullman conductors and porters. In Cleveland a clause In the latest fran- ranted requires that in case of dis- ute the company shall select two men, he employes two and the mayor of the city shall act as the fifth member of a board to arbitrate all differences. Another clause provides that the men shall not work more than ten hours in fourteen out of every twenty-four. This rule abolishes fhe “swing’’ runs, as the men are assured that they will have at least ten hours to themselves at & stretch every day, instead THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SIXTH TERM CANDIDACY OF D. H.

Schwab of the United States Steel corporation has given Alfred Hobson, a laborer in the steel works at Mingo Junction, O., $200. Last year while on an inspection’ tour Schwab saw Hobson under the influence of liquor. He had Hobson promise he would not drink intoxicating liquor for one year. 1f he kept his promise he would be rewarded with $100. Hobson earned the reward and was surprised with double the amount promised. The trustees of the Johns Hopkins uni- versity announce that a citizen of Baltl- more has given a sum of money to the uni- Versity to be devoted to a systematic in- vestigation of the history, activities and influence of labor organizations in the United States. The sum of 3500 is given for the immediate purchase by the univer- sity library of additional books, journals and_reports relating to this subject. The further sum of $1,000 is made available to meet the expenses incident to carrying on the inquiry for the next academic year. Modern Telegraphy Prof. Pupin of Columbia university re- cently expressed the opinion that the tel- egraph companies of this country were wo- fully behind the times in equipment. He declared that many inventions which would materially improve the service were shelved because the companies were unprogressive and penurious. The criticism provoked a re- ply from J. C. Barclay, electrical engineer of the Western Union Telegraph company, who denies the allegations in an interview in the New York Times, and shows what progress has been made in modern tel raphy. “The professor,” says Mr. Barclay, ‘“‘die- plays a wonderful lack of knowledge of the tel ph, which is not surprising, koowing that the gentleman has had no practical experience whatever in this fleld, and for the benefit of those who read Prof. Pupin's criticism and are unfamliliar with the practical working of the telegraph, 1 take pleasure in making reply to the erit- fesm from a practical standpoint. “At the time when Prof. Morse erected his first wire between Washington and Bal- timore, a distance of forty-one miles, un- der adverse circumstances, and over which he sent his first message, he did not real- ize that he bad invented the best, quickest and cheapest system of telegraphy that has been introduced up to the present time. It is true that this first message was repro- duced embossed on paper on what was then known as the recelving register. This method of recelving telegrams was in vogue for a number of years, until the young American with his quick ear for music soon after learned to recelve messages by sound, and the old registers have long since become obsolete, and with his nimble fing- ers messages are Wow transmitted over the wires not only a distance of forty-obe miles, but thousands of miles, as rapidly as the recelver can write them on & type- writer, and as distinet and simple as A B C “In this conmection I will say more dis- tinctly than the letters and figures can be talked over the telephone lines, for there is no similarity between the Morse char- acters forming the letters B and V and other similar letters, that are so confusing to transmit over the telephone. “Since the telegraph was invented the improvements in the apparatus have kept apace with the demands of the American people and today the telegraph systems in America, according to the admissions of experts that have been sent here by all the foreign countries to Investigate our systems, are years in advance of most all other nations. This is shown i the im- proved apparatus—namely, the muitiplex systems, automatic repeaters, switch- boards, copper wires, insulation and con- ductivity, motor dynamos, storage bat- teries, etc., and to illustrate the quick- ness of this wonderful system it is not un- common for a broker to flle his message in New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadel- phia or other cities in the United States and to have the same transmitted to his broker on the floor of one of the exchanges, the order filled and to have received the reply notifylng him that it had been exe- cuted within the short space of fifty-five seconds. Messages of this description are not only transmitted between Chie New York, a distance of 984 mile same applies to the direct working wires of this company between San Francisco and New York, a distance of 3,300 miles. The American people have been educated up to this quick service, which, as I have sald before, is the most rapid that has been introduced up to the present time. “Prof. Pupin referred particularly to the automatic rapid system of telegraphy and in order to compare one of these systems with the former it will be necessary to ex- plain the ‘modus operandi' necessary to transmit 4nd recelve a message. In the first place one of the most rapld systemas was given a practical test by me over the tern Union lines between New York and Chicago within the last two years and in polat of working satisfactorily it was an absolute fallure and not adaptable to use in this country on account of its slowness. In the system referred to the message is handed into the office of the telegraph com- pany and is placed before an employe known as & ‘puncher,’ who perforates the message on a strip of paper, which con- sumes more time than it would requirs for an expert operator to transmit it from New York to San Francisco by the Morse Review of Advances Made in the System. system. The message Is afterward run through what is known as a Wheatstone transmitter at the same time the receiver is in operation at the distant end of the line, which 1s composed of a cylinder con- taining sensitized paper. “After the message has been reproduced on this paper, It is Decessary to earry It into'a dark room, where it is developed the same as a photographer develops his neg- ative. It is then placed in the hands of an empioye known as a copylst. The mes- sage Is then copled on a typewriter, which again consumes more time than it would require an expert telegrapher to receive the message transmitted by the Morse sys- tem. “It an error is discovered in the message as received on the sensitized paper, which frequently occure, it is not possible to cor- rect it at the time it Is being received, as it would be if telegraphed by the Morse system, and it consumes too much time to make such corrections. “A number of automatic systems nave been tested by telegraph companies of this country, but up to the present time every one of them has been found lack- ing, except for emergency service and they are not only slower than the Morse sys- | tem, but more expensive to operate. A | corps of expert electricians are constantly | in our employ experimenting with new de- | vices and testing automatic and machine | telegraphic systems, with a view of ms- | curing something better than the Morse | and while some of the automatics will | transmit very rapidly the time wasted in | | | | | | preparing the message for transmission and recopylng makes the service slower and more expensive than the Morse “To show the strength of the Western Union Telegraph company, in 1867 it oper- ated 46,000 miles of poles and cables, 5,000 miles of wire, and handled 5,000,000 mes- sages, with 2,000 offices. In 1901 it operated 194,000 miles of poles and cables, 972,000 | miles of wire and handled 66,000,000 mes- sages, with 23,000 offices. The greatest length of one continuous circult operated by the company is from New York to San Francisco, 3,300 miles. The longest tele- phone circult aperated is from New York 10 Omaba, 1,466 miles.” every woman in the land today sick with female troubles could be brought to realize that a medicine exists that would restore her to health, there would be few homes that would not resound with re- joicing. Barren wives, invalid mothers, sisters and daughters furnish American homes with much of their bitterness and sorrow. That there is such a medicine has been proyen by the reported relief of over a million suffering women. Thou- sands of them have taken the trouble to personally write to The Chattanooga Med- icine Company of their,cures. They tell how Wine of Cardui has strengthened the weak girl and prepared the apprehensive wife for motherhood, how it has quickly cured mothers and women of every age and station of all kinds of female ills. One of these cures is that of Miss Nan Etahlberg, of No. 448 West Fifteenth Street, Chicago, 111, who is well known as the Secretary of the Valkyrie Singing Ciub She occupies a very prominent posi- WINE OF CARDUI i Nan Sta hlberg Secretary of the West Side Valkyrie Singing Club of Chicago. tion and many suffering women will be brought to know and appreciate Wine of Cardui by what she writes: “Wine of Cardui is certainly a boon to women and as my experience with it has been most gratifying I am glad to speak a good word for it. About two years ago I caught a severecold at the time of menstru- ation and it stopped and discontinued for several months, I had very severe pains at the time with bearing-down pains and head- aches almost constantly and I did not care whether I lived or died. I lost flesh and added about ten years to my age. After I had about given up hope of ever getting well my attention was called to your Wine ot Cardui. One bottle helped me and six cured me.” Could any woman ask more in the way of relief than Miss Stahlberg secured? This same relief is in the reach of every woman in this land today. No one is too poor to buy health in a bottle of Wine of Cardui. Thousands of women who go to specialists and spend thousands of dollars in the fruitless pursuit of health finally come to Wine of Cardui and secure relief. Wine of Cardui is the simple remedy that relieves female suffering. Wine of Cardui never fails to benefit. It is peculiarly adapted to regulating menstruation and reinforcing weak women. Druggists all over the country are selling thousands of bottles of Wine of Cardui every day. No one is too poor to buy it, yet no amount of money could buy a better medicine. Wine of Cardui has endeared itself to the 1,000,000 women it has relieved. They love the name ‘‘Cardui’’ and they write the fol- lowing letters to show the world what they think of this medicine: Mrs. Mary Cline, Stilesboro, Ga.: “Your medicines have done me more good than any that I have ever tried. My soa from Chattanooga brought me a bottle. Af ter being confined to my bed for nine weeks it got me out of bed and I gained 23 pounds,” Mrs. Pearl Philpot, Muskogee, I. T.: “I was married two years and had no children. When my monthly periods would come I would have pains in my back, head, legs and bearing-down pains in my bowels. I would nearly have fits. My husband got me a dollar bottle of Wine of Cardui and it did me so much good. No tongue can tell how much good it did me. Since I have taken Wine of Cardui I have given bisth to two children. One is dead but the last one is living, It is just three months old and the prettiest thing [ ever saw, I took the Wine before confinement and I was just sick one hour. Iam in better health than I ever was before. My age is 18 and I weigh 128.” ‘Why not go to your druggist today and secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui ?
