The crowd was larger yesterday

Somi? people thought Joe Hartley
was a very poor financier when he
defaulted to the state in the sum of

velopments seem to indicate that it
was simply bread cast upon the
waters and that Hartley is now re
ceiving interest from those to whom
he loaned money that did not be
long to him. He simply cast an
anchor to windward. HeatriceSun.
Somi? people boost the town and
others step in and reap the fruits
of their labors. This is the trouble
in this country. Some merchants
advertise and get business for the
town, and then others sneak under
the canvas and get part of the trade
without an effort . If people would
not patronize the deadheads, the
parasites who live off the enterprise
of others, there would be less of
this class to support.

ocrats throughout the state.
Xkwsiwitks whose columns
overflow with ads cf business men
have more influence in attracting
attention to and building up a city
or town than any other agency
that can be employed. People go
where the business is. Capital and
labor will locate where there is an
enterprising community. No
power on earth is so strong to build
tip a town as a newspaper well
patronized, and its powers should
be appreciated.
Tin? masses of the democrats of
Nebraska should attend their
county conventions to select dele
gates to the state convention. They
should see that as many farmers as
possible are selected as delegates
and then all should go to Lincoln
with the avowed determination of
selecting a candidate for governor
whose interests are strictly ideuti
fed with the interests of thepeople.
We have such men, and it is such
a man as that who can and will
lead the democrats of Nebraska on
to victory.
In looking around for a candi
date for state treasurer on the
democratic ticket, several eyes are
cast in the direction of Cass county,
and upon the person of our efficient
mayor, Henry R. (lering. One
thing most certain, during his in
cumbencv he has demonstrated to
thepeople of this city that as a finan
cier he is a great success, and
has saved the taxpayers hundreds
of dollars. Mr. dering would do
the same for the taxpayers of Ne
braska in the office of state treas
urer. Keep the ball rolling. For

should not the States be allowed to

Why should not the cities and towns
