TUcKlnloy has presided In so dignified noblo anti conscientious a 1 manner during tho past four years will see al once that It Is eminently the wisest and best course that he should bo reelected I reelect-ed and allowed to carry on the work he has begun under the principles of the Grand Old Party the party that has always stood for everything that Is noble true and of good 0 report Let us look buck to the lime of McKln leyu election Do you think his pathway has been over a bed of roses because ho has boon President of so grout a Nation as this l It has there have been thorns In the roses and thin largchcnriod man has suffered as he trod this pathway Do you remember that when tho affairs of the NntQ reverted to his charge at the command com-mand of the Republican party thai hundreds hun-dreds nay thousands of mon and women walked our streets throughout the length and breadth of this land hungry find on the verge of starvation and tho only thing that kepi them from starving was not that the land was lowing with milk and honey but with soup and free soup nt that Some of you will remember 11 for with your delicate white hands you stood over hot stoves and helped lo make the

for McKinley No I voted for Bryan Bry-an four years ago and I have had plenty of work and good times over since and I am going to vote for him agahi That Is as good an answer ns anyone can give who Intends to vote for him and you ladles la-dles and gentlemen who intend to voto for Bryan make the philosophy of poor j Ignorant I Pat your own when you cast I your vote for this wlldldead conscience I leas Nebraskan < Four years ago I think we all believed 11 Bryan to he a good and true man however untitled we may have believed him to be for tho Presidential chair but when I read his wild distorted and un truthful speeches of today and find him Inciting the worst mob elements of tho cities to deeds of vlolcncp by his misrep resentations and exaggerated promises of what I will do If I am elected I hind It hard to judge him not In < California vo Have some men who do not believe In woman suffrage and the moat clinching argument they Can mako use of ono that oOlO not even Susan l Anthony could overcome over-come was this Politics will degrade and demoralize women Of course you know that In California politics never degrade mCn but I am afraid that cannot can-not ho said of nil men in Nebraska In 1S9G when after four years of Democratic Demo-cratic rule Drlces of everything wcro about as low as they could get Mr Bryan said that as sure as I am not elected I prices will go down and the country will go to ruin fo What followed MeKlnluy I was elected and prices went up and up I and up until today we havo no need of free souphouses and tho great army of hungry men are all at work and are I happy and contented and Coxey himself Is so busy putting IP large steel works In 0 town In Ohio and he cannot get men enough to complete the work in 1 the tlmo tmo limitedthat he says he had almost forgotten for-gotten there was to be c an election 0 Not on by did President McKinley have all this Internal and disturbing condition to contend with at the tlmo he camo Into office but later came the trouble In Cuba Our papers were filled with ghastly pic lures of the starving reconcontrido and our hearts ached and our eyes filled with tears as wo looked at them and then we sent our generous and selfsacrificing women wo-men of the glorious lied Cross and our souphouses to th > m But temporary re llef was not enough and no we sent our boys bearing aloft that grand emblem of liberty honor and Integrity the Hag of our country and we rescued them from mho wicked rule of Spain and set them on a solid foundation of rock under the pro lecllon of that flag Contrast their present pres-ent condition with what It was then and let your approval speak at time ballotbox next Tuesday bv casting your vote for McKinley and thus give your Stale u chance to be recorded as on the
