I cut out for It by the democratic
platform. It I a solemn duty ow
ing the people who placed tho dom
crats in power to carry out the party
pledges and this they must do. It
is entirely unnecessary for outsid
ers to attempt to organize or con
trol the legislative body. They are
men who are thoroughly capable of
looking out for their promises and
they do not need a guardian. The
officious intermeddling of extra-leg
islative hoJhs is -not relished and
the grinding of private axes at tho
people's expense will not be tolerated.
Governor Shallenberger has been
getting along very nicely with his
preliminary arrangements for his
administration. In his appointments
he has rather ignored the places
where he made the greatest gains,
and there have been unknd remarks
to the fact that his appointments were
Inspired by a kitchen cabinet, but on
the w hole if he does as well through
out his term as he starts in, tho
people will likely bo satisfied.
There is no use In going to Oma
ha to buy holiday goods. Our own
merchants have a fine line and they
are selling at reasonable prices.
Don't be fooled at so-called "bar
gains" but patronize the men who
patronize you and buy in Plattsmouth.
There are Just six more shopping
days before Christmas. Get busy
and buy that present.
