. The democratic party of the state of Nebraska reaffirms its belief in the fundamental principles of the party as heretofore announced in its var- ious national platforms. We particularly endorse and pledge our support to the platform recently adopted in St. Louis. The record of our party, both state and nation is such that it meets the approval of all persons who are interested in the welfare of our country. Our record is one of achievement. We have in- corporated into the laws of the state and nation the platform pledges of the party. We have kept faith with the people. Our pledges are now recorded in the book of deeds, and on this record we come before the people of the na- tion and state to ask for an endorse- ment of what we have done and for > & renewal of the commission for the administration of the government. Never before were so many and such vexing problems presented to any administration involving our amicable relations with the rest of the world. Never did a president meet these problems with a bLetter understanding of their subtleties, or .. & higher conception of his own and «- the national duty, than did President Wllsop, _Despite the most vexing complications, he has . maintained with firmness the national honor and upheld the rights of American citi- zens until the justice of his attitude has been conceded by those who had assailed it. He has sturdily main- | tained peace with honor, and with in- | finite patience has mastered delicate situations that, in less skilled hands, must have eventuated in either a loss of national prestige or the horrors of war. We endorse, without reser- vation, his conduct of the delicate negotiations with Mexico, and wel- come the prospect he affords us of goon resuming our normal relations 5 with that republic through processes that seem certain to win for our peo- _ ple. a friendship from the Mexican - people such as they have not enter- tained for more than half a century, 'We congratulate the people of the United States because :heir president has inspired every Latin-American republic with a befter comprehension { of our good intentions toward them 3 than it ever had before, and has|P paved the way for a Pan-American union that must tremenduously ad- vantage all of us in the promotion of bene_r neighborhood and better com- mercial intercourse. His adminins- “tration has been such that he merits the approval of all parties and the democracy of Nebraska pledges its heartiest support to President Wil- son and Vice President Marshall, We believe the people, without re- gard to politics, recognize the unex- ampled prosperity of every part of the country, under four years of demo- cratic rule. The national wealth has been increased more than fifty billions of dollars. The people have more money in the banks than they have ever had before. The notable pros- perity of the agricultural classes is to every one apparent. Business is on a sound basis and yielding unusual profits. Labor finds more employ- ment at better ‘wages than was ever enjoyed in this country, _As a testimony concerning the con- dition of the industrial classes, we in- vite attention to the recent statement of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, that more has been done for the laborer o under President Wilson and the democratic administration than un- der any irevxous administration, We believe that the people of all classes are satisfied with existing conditions, + and that a great majority of them - do not crave a change. We direct attention of the voters formerly allied with the progressive party to the recent statement of . Theodore Roosevelt that most of the | great principles of the progressive . party have ‘either been enacted into \ " law or embodied in party platforms and suggest that none, except the democratic party, has been enacting laws during the past four years. We congratulate the people of Ne- braska, on the fact that our dis- tinguished United States senator, Gil- bert M. Hitchcock, and our demo- cratic congressmen, Daniel V. Steph- ‘ ens, Ashton C. Shallenbarger and i Charles O. Lobeck, have rendered | notable services in the support of con- \ structive legislation of benefit to the . masses of the people. The first : thought of these men has been the - welfare of the common man. We lieartily endorse their candidacy for ve-election. We also endorse the candidacy of Hon. W. L. Stark, John A. Maguir and Edwin McDermott for COngress. To secure construc!ive and beneficial legislation we must clect a democratic United States sena- tor and members of'congress. . We recognize in our candidate for governor, Keith Neville, a citizen of high character, good business judg- ment, and earnest loyalty to the state, and its welfare; and we pledge to the voters of Nebraska that, should he-be elected as their chief executive, he will bring to bear, in conducting the state administration, the same | high sense of honor and the same rec- ognized capacity that has made the administration of Governor John H. Morehead popular among the adher- ents of all parties. We bespeak for the other demo- ratic candidates on_the state ticket, the privilege of aiding_him, just as have Governor Morehead's colleagues, % in providing a ¢lege and capable gov- M ernment. We commend the candidates of our state ticket to the voters of Nebraska as men worthy of their support. [ We invite attention to the honest, capable and efficient administration » of the state’s business urider the dem- ocratic administration: for the last four years.

Should the rrotpoud prohibi- tory amendment fail of adoption, the democratic party will accept its fail- ure as a declaration by the people that they are satisfied with the local option system. We pledge the nominees of the party to an honest administration of the law. In the words of the consti- tution, we “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” The republican garty in its national latform has declared in favor of giv- ing to the federal government exclu- sive control of the transportation of the country. We are unalterably op- posed to this attempt to destroy state control which in Nebraska and many other states has been of service to the people. Both forms of control are necessary, one for through business and far-reaching questions and one for iocal business and local questions. We pledge to the people-of this state that our candidates for United States sena- tor and for members of congress will oppose this éffort to destroy state control, which is guaranteed by our state constitution, and thus leave the people without relief on local com- plaints. Our part grounds in has taken advanced ivorcing the courts from partisan politics. In compliance with the party pledge, we have enacted a law which provides for the non-parti- san selection of judges of the courts. We believe that substantial good has resulted, and will result to the people of this state by reason of the present method of nominating and electing our judges of the courts. We believe this same principle would add greatly to the efficiency and gencral welfare of the public school system of the state. \gle favor legislation that will provide for the selection of all elective school officers on a non-partisan bal- lot, and we pledge the passage of whatever legislation is necessary to secure this reform. We believe that alf of the people re- siding in the Platte valley are en- titled to the greatest possible use that can be made of the waters impounded in the Pathfinder reservoir consistent with existing and vested rights there- in; and we especially recommend and favor that the United States reclama- tion service deliver at the respective headgates of those. who have pur- chased water, the amount by them purchased, and that there be released for them at the reservoir sufficient water to allow for seepage and evap- oration between the reservoir and the place of delivery. We further recom- mend that the greatest possible co-| operation be had between the Ne- braska State Board of Irrigation, Highways and Drainage and the United States reclamation service. We heartily endorse the plank con- tained in the national democratic platform which declares in favor of the control cf flood conditions on the Mississippi and other large rivers by impounding in government construct- ed reservoirs. the flood waters of tributary streams and for the using of such impounded waters for the reclamation of arid lands. We favor a sufficient appropria- tion by the state to fight a success- ful conclusion the cases now pending in the federal courts, seeking to pro- tect the just and prior rights of irri- croachments on the part of water users in the states of Colorado and Wyoming. 1 We commend our senators and congressmen who have earnestly en- deavored to have legislation enacted by congress to conserve these waters, and we ask congress to en- act such legislation and make such appropriations as may be necessary to construct and operate the tri- county project already surveyed in Gosper, Phelps and Kearney coun- ties. We favor the conservation of the national resources of this state and the development ‘of water power from the streams of the states as authorized by law, for the benefit of the people of Nebraska. % We condemn the administration of the republican state railway commis- sion in failing to properly adjust tele- phone rates, in setting aside rate agreements between telephone com- panies and the public and in failing to properly gather evidence for use in rate matters before the Interstate Commerce commission and the fed- eral courts. We believe that the elec- able the voters to pass directly and outside of the lines of partisan politics on questions that are essentially non- partisan in their nature. Under this system the voters have passed already A on the question of woman suffrage. l( Under it they will decide this year th § fqte of the proposed state-wide prohi- bitory amendment involving a ques- tion that, as President Wilson has L aid, is _essentially nonpolitical and onpartisan. The democratic party holds fast to the principle that it is the duty of ‘any party in power to carry out the will of the people, as to any law or constitutional amendment so submitted and adopted, and it so 4 pledges its candidates. It promises the people that if the amendment is tion of Victor E. Wilson to member- ship in the commission would resu'l in the correction of, existing abuses. We especially endorse the rural credit law recently passed by con- gress. Nebraska is one of the lead- ing agricu'iural states; it is the logical and natural field in which one of the refional banks provided for in this act will operate. ‘e earnestly urge upon the board to locate one of these banks in this state, We favor the passage of the fol- lowing legislation and pledge ' the party and its nominees to its enact- ment: 1.

Legislation looking to the em- filo ment of its convicts on the public i }‘;wnys of the state to the end that all the people of the state may be benefited. 3. The maintenance of a permanent publicity bureau to give information regarding the resources of our state and thereby encourage more people to make their homes among us. 4. Such amendments to the work- man's compensation act as are neces- sary to (A) adequately compensate those who are injured; (B) to safe- uard the right to persons who are injured by the insolvency of their em- ployers. 5. The continuance of the supreme court commission. 6. Liberal appropriations for the de- 'velorlmcnt, maintenance, and support educational institutions, includ- high of a ing rural schools and con- | solidated schools, which were author- ized by democratic legislation. The following separate resolution was rousingly adopted by the demo- cratic convention: The democrats of Nebraska send cordial greetings to the 2,000 Ne- braska citizen soldiers who are now enduring the vicissitudes of climate and the toils of camp life on the Mexi- can border in response to the call of their country. We express our appreciation of the readiness shown by those boys to meet their country’s most critical needs, and we congratulate the par- ents of Nebraska upon their produc- tion of 'such sturdy patriots and join with them in the hope that the two Nebraska regiments may see no more hazardous service than thus far en- countered, and that they may soon be returned to their homes and families. Missouri Pacific And City Planning Board Get Together The City Planning board has reached a (loser understanding with Chief Engineer Headley of the Mis- souri Pacific relative to the Belt Line elevation of tracks. The company's engineer will recommend a clear road- way and permanent structure at Far- nam street, the same as was agreed for Dodge street, but will not recom- mend this for Douglas street. Indi- cations are that imasmuch as the Mis- souri Pacific has yielded to the main contentions of the planning board, an official agreement will be made next week and the work started. Trouble Over Hen Settled Out of Court A neighborhood quarrel over a set- ting hen and two settings of eggs brought Wilson A.
