Yfstehday little Vic forgot to have
an open letter in his organ. What was
the trouble.
Independent Grievances.
i After representing Pennsylvania in
Editor Hearst's Independent National
Convention, Mr. Matthew F. Ryan re
ports to his constituents that instead of
representing their independence the
convention operated to represent that
' of Mr. Hearst.
For a New Industry.
The opportunity now presents itself
for the citizens of this city and vicinity
to organize and put into the field a new
industry, and many of them are
talking of it quite seriously The pro

THE hand of the master mind of re
publican policies in Cass County is
beginning to appear in the organ.
No matter whether the railroads re
duce the fare or not next Wednesday
will see the banner crowd of' the year
at Lincoln. 7'hat is the day Bryan will
be notified.
The Bryan notification meeting at
Lincoln on next Wednesday, August
12th, will be the biggest event in the
west. Get your quarters in advance
and see it all.
The movement for Bryan and Kern
throughout the country continues. En
couraging reports from the east are
coming in now and the most optimistic
prospects are in sight.
. The Journal wants-ttatrsmouth" to
boom and grow, therefore let us have
an ice plant, cold storage plant and
street lights. There's more to follow
but these will help a lot.
Little Vic, having failed in his ef
forts to mislead the populists into vot
ing the republican ticket, has now burst
out with another open letter. Little
Vic is rapidly becoming the prize joke
of the campaign.
An ice factory and cold storage plant
for this city would give employment to
men and c?eate a market for fruit,
vegetables, eggs and poultry. Why
not organize and put one in?
1 he race lor the democratic guber
natorial nomination is proceeding mer
rily. When there are three such men
as Dahlman, Berge and Shallenberger
to choose from there can be no mistake
Any one of them is good enough.
Can a man be nominated for office in
this county because he favors ot.e
thing and elected on some fuss and
lury lurore which is intended to ob
scure that issue. That is the trick that
is being tried right now in this county.
The Bell Telephone Company and the
Plattsmouth Telephone Company have
each been making money enough to
pay good dividends on their invest
ments. inererore mere can be no
logical reason for advancing their
rates.
The ice plant and cold storage pro
ject should be taken up and pushed to
an early consumation. Remember it
means a big market for farm products
as well as good ice at reasonable prices.
And it would only be an opener for
many other industries.
From all parts of the county come
reports of the most encouraging nature
concerning the chances of William C.
Ramsey for the office of County At
torney. This young man is well known
as a bright, able and energetic attorney
and he deserves the victory.
The democrats of this county made
no mistake when they placed John P.
Sattler and 0. W. Laughlin on their
ticket for representatives. These men
are business men of repute, able, vigor
ous and levelheaded and just the kind
needed to insure safe legislation They
will be elected also.
If Senator LaFolIette continues his
crusade against corporation senators
with as good effect as he had in Kan
sas, there will soon be a new set of
faces in the senate. Senator Long lays
his defeat directly to La Follette's
vania adds another. As Mr. Hearst's
independent convention, representing
Mr. H.'s independence, he finds its pur
pose and possibilities defined by the
information to him confidentally im
parted: "We can't win, but we can
beat Bryan."
In the field of independent journalism
he occupies with such notable results,
Editor Hearst has a special department
devoted to humor, which he has de
veloped highly at large expense. Con
fidential information of the alleged pur
poses of an independent Hearst con
vention in politics certainly belongs to
journalism, and it may belong to its
humorou3 department.
As a representative of Nebraska in
the Hearst convention, Mr. Marshall,
of Plattsmouth, has charged openly that
Mr. Hearst and his able journalists
packed it so ably and effectivelythat it
represented MrKearst's independence
too completely to permit that of Ne
braska to be represented at all. The
Pennsylvania grievance, though it ex
tends further, is no deeper than this.
In the last resort, it is not a political
grievance at all. As an incident of his
untiring geniu3 as a journalist Mr.
Hearst has held a national convention
which even the strongest obiections
vindicate as his own, no more and no
less independent than he is. That
ought to be vindication enough. St.
Louis Republic.
Running For Representative.
The Journal is in receipt of a card
from C. S. Wortman, former Superin
tendent of Schools of this county, which
shows that he was nominated by the
democrats of Rogers County, Okla.,
for representative, in the legislature.
This selection is a wise one and the peo
ple of Rogers County can do no better
than to choose Mr. Wortman as one of
their representatives. He is able, hon
est and fearless and should he be elect
ed which is almost a certainty, he will
make the people of Oklahoma an ex
cellent legislator. His friends in this
county, and they are legion, congrat
ulate the people of Rogers County as
'vail as Mr. Wortman on his selection.
day could be purchased for from fifteen
hundred to two thousand dollars. Con
sidering the cost of building, land, etc
it is thought a plant complete could be
built for forty-five hundred to five
thousand dollars which would supply
the local trade for the remainder of this
season.
Should it be desirable to expand the
business next season, additional ma
chinery could be put in and the capa
city increased.
It must be evident to any observer
that this city is in a serious position
when one man controls the ice industry
absolutely. Without touching upon the
relative merits of artificial and natural
ice, the superiority of the former being
everywhere conceded, the advantages
of the plant which would prevent an ice
famine and. consequently an advance in
priceto a prohibitory figure is manifest.
Let those who are agitating this new
industry take hold of it and make a
canvass with a view to organizing the
industry. It has been suggested that
a cold storage plant be run in connect
ion with the plant and Plattsmouth's
peculiar advantages for this industry
out to be patent. That both industries
would pay well is not doubted.
Start the ball rolling and relieve the
businessmen and citizens of their pres

The plan of the national committee
for the organization of a national cam

The gubermaterial race among the
democratic candidates for the nomina
tion is becoming rather warm, especial
ly between Cowherd and Ball. There
snouia oe out little trouble to make a
selection between these gentleman.
Well Cowherd is a man of great ability.
and one with a national reputation, and
will make a governor upon whom the
people can look with pride.
Eastern railroads granted special

but those attending a similar affair at

Democratic party never receives any
corporate favors. Neither does the
common people, and this may help to ex
plain the bond of sympathy that has al
ways existed between the two.
W. B. Bannlng is making a host of

The Aurora (Neb.) Register (Ind.)
has come out for W. J. Bryan. In
doing so, the Register says: "The
Register has decided to support W. J.
Bryan for president. In so-doing it has
no words of carping or criticism for the
character and ability of the republican
nominee. Had Roosevelt been chosen
by the republicans, this paper stood
pledged to his support."
While attending the Odd Fellows'
picnic at Avoca last. Thursday we had
the pleasure of making the acquaint
ance of Hon. Norris Brown, the junior
United States senator from Nebraska.
We found him to be a most genial gen

pearance characterized by the senior
senator. Senator Brown is possessed of
such qualities as to make himself popu
lar with the common people, and our
opinion of the gentleman has been con
siderably elevated by meeting him.
