The political bass drummer has to

Thompson's reform administration
in Chicago, seems to be "in the soup."
It hasn't been very long since the re
publicans wanted Thompson to run
for president.

The Nebraska railway commission
has bolted the republican national plat
form. The republican national plat
form advocates throwing three repub
lican railway commissioners out of
their jobs. But of course the commis
sioners bolted because of their pa
triotism and their love for the dear
pee-pul!
:o:
R. L. Metcalfe is doing some mighty
good work for Wilson and the demo
cratic ticket out in the state. He
draws large crowds and he gives the
Hughes party some sledge-hammer
blows direct from the shoulder. Dick
Metcalfe is just the men that can do
the work up brown.
:o:
Edgar Howard, democratic candi
date for lieutenant governor, is one
of the best qualified men that ever
was a candidate for that position,
end should be elected because he is
able to preside over such a dignified
body of statesmen with honor to him
self, and precision in action.
:o:
Ex-Senator V1II1am V. Allen is 1
candidate for district judge in the
Ninth, judicial district, composed of
the counties of Wayne, Antelope,
Cuming, Knox, Madison, Pearce and
Stanton. He should be elected, sim
ply because Senator Allen is most em
incntly well fitted for a position of
this character, being one cf the best
lawyers in the state.
:o:
The voters of the First district will
elect Hon. John A. Maguire to his
old place in congress on the 7th day
of November, because they have con
fidence in him. He served them faith
fully and honorably, and he. will do
the business in the same manner. His
influence among the members was
-reat, and then, he is for Wilson
every day in the week, and all the
time.

Now that Rev. Irl R. Hicks has
passed to the Great Beyond, what are
we to do now for pointers on the
weather?
:o:
Speaking of Huerta, the president is'
reported as saying there is no reason
to answer the defi of Mr. Hughes;
that the entire country knows he told
Huerta to get out, and that he is out.
:o:
Wall street is for Hughes, but the
country at large is sure unanimous
for the retention of President Wilson
for another four years. The country
with one voice speaks out: "Well
done, thou good and faithful servant!"
:o:
Remember when you vote for John
Murtey, you are voting for a gentle
man of ability and one that as a mem
ber of the legislature will reflect
great credit upon the voters of Cass
county.
:o:
They can say what they please
about W. J. Bryan, but the great
commoner is doing a great deal of
good work for President Wilson. Mr.
Bryan may not be agreeable to us in
many respects, yet there are many
things in him we can't help but like.
He is one of the greatest men in
America.
:o:
Mi lye Tritsch should be elected to
the office of county treasurer because
the taxpayers know that he is abun
dantly well qualified for this very re
sponsible position. He has been tried
and not found wanting in the trans
action of the business in any depart
ment of the treasurer's office. You
make no mistake in supporting Mike
Tritsch.
:o:
Edwin Zimmerer, who was nomi
nated as the republican candidate for
float representative for Otoe and Cass
counties has positively refused to per
mit his name to be printed on the
election ballot, and now a new man
will have to be pitted against L. G.
Todd, the democratic candidate. Mr.
Todd is one of the finest young men
to be found'' in either county and the
democrats are certainly very fortunate
in his nomination for the position.
:o:
Arthur Mullen is not an issue in
this campaign, Jiut he is a member" of
the national committee, and has a
duty to perform, and that duty will
be well performed; and if the repub
licans don't like Art's manner of do
ing, business, how are they going to
help themselves pray, tell us. We
have known Mr. Mullen ever since we
have been in the state, and there has
never been an election during that
time where he was to the front, but
that the republicans dreaded him. And
that's the same trouble with the re
publicans now. But Art forges right
ahead, just the same.
ROOSEVELT IN THE SADDLE.
Senator Reed is justified in Tris
statement that Roosevelt has taken
the bit in his mouth and is running
away. He is dragging after him the
party ; wagon." Mr. Reed says the
colonel is "in supreme control of the
republican party."
We do not say he is yet in supreme
control, but we cannot doubt that he
is controlling the campaign and that
he intends to take the party over.
Signs of the Roosevelt leadership
are rapidly multiplying. He is the
one man who is making specific decla-
rations of republican intentions. He
is defining what Mr. Hughes stands
for and what Mr. Hughes intends to
do. At the Union league reception it
was Colonel Roosevelt who said that
there would be no debate on the Ger
man rcichstag over the revival of
had a president of the United States
who would not tolerate anything of
tViaf enrf " Tf ic f!nlnnfl Rnnspvelt !
who tells how he brought the kaiser to
terms in Venezuela with a threat of
war. It is Colonel Roosevelt who says
that Mexico ought to be forced to
submit to American terms. It is Col
onel Roosevelt who implies that Mr.
Hughes will use the big stick on both
Germany and Mexico and who is
preaching war as the righteous alter
native of the peace Mr. Wilson has
maintained through diplomacy. In be
half of Mr. Hughes Colonel Roose
velt scorns and scouts the reasonable,
humane and peaceful methods of
President Wilson. His criticisms and
epithets applied to Mr. Wilson and to
the entire Wilson method and pro
gram describe by contrast what sort
of a president Mr. Hughes is to be
and what sort of a policy he is to
undertake. He expects Mr. Hughes
to overturn the internal acts of the
Wilson administration and to reverse
Wilson's foreign policies.
Mr. Hughes makes no protest. On
the contrary, he expresses his grati
tude for the colonel's valuable sup
port. He is afraid to protest or check
the colonel's tirades. He knows that
while he may be defeated with the col
onel's support, he would certainly be
defeated without it.
Colonel Roosevelt is lacking in
neither sagacity nor audacity. He
will use his advantage merciless. He
is now the leader and spokesman of
the Hughes campaign, he intends to
be the master of the Hughes' admin
istration in the event of republican
success.
Colonel Roosevelt made Taft pres
ident and because Taft refused to sub
mit to his dictation ruined him. He
will rule or ruin the Hughes' admin
istration.
If Mr. Hughes is elected through
the Roosevelt alliance, will he dare
stand against Colonel Roosevelt's do
minion? If he is too timid now to
protest against Colonel Roosevelt s
rampant leadership in the campaign
will he dare withstand his master
ship after the election at the risk of
political ruin? St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.

It was Senator Hitchcock who se
cured an amendment to the federal
reserve law that makes it possible for
reserve banks to discount the paper
of stock raisers and farmers. Perhaps
you have "noticed that in this good
year of 1916, for the first time in
many years, you haven't heard any
complaints about lack of money to
move crops." It was the Hitchcock
amendment to the federal reserve law
that brought about this happy condi
tion of affairs. f

Attorney General Willis Reed made
hundreds of friends here Tuesday, all
of whom will vote for his retention
in tne onice ne is so amy nuing.
Willis Reed, while not a lauge man in
stature, is one of the braniest men in
Nebraska and has but few equals as
an orator. He is cut out for a higher
position, but he has done such excel
lent work as attorney-general that
the taxpayers propose to retain him
in his present position for at least two
more years.
:o:
Keith Neville is becoming more
popular every day. Sjnce the business
administration of Governor Morehcad
has proved so beneficial to the tax
payers of the state, they have como
to the conclusion that such an ad
ministration should be continued.
Keith Neville is a fine business man.
and he is on record as one of the
best in the state, and that is the
reason why he should be elected gov
ernor. :o:
Wc stop the press to inquire again:
What has become of that old . com
plaint about the "lack of money to
move the crops ? " that we used to
hear every fall, when republicans had
control of affairs?
Old winter is getting nearer.
-:o:
Are you prepared for the worst to
come?

If you would just as soon remain
in a rut the chances are you will.

No man ought to deprive himselS
of the joy of a new idea every day.

It isn't fair to think just because a
man hasn't an automobile that he
hasnt any m(Jney fa the bank

every day, and the nearer its approach
the more nervous the candidates be

A vote for John Wunderlich is a
boost for one of the best men in the
county for sheriff. He is honest and
capable, and the affairs of the office
will be transacted intelligently and in
a business like manner.
:o:
John Wunderlich is seeing many
voters these days, and from what we
can learn, he is gaining friends right
along. The people are well satisfied
that John Wunderlich will make a
good sheriff, and many of them believe
it is time for a change in that of
fice. :o:
The supreme court of the United
States never assessed triple damages
against a trust in restraint of trade.
But Justice Charles Evans Hughes as
senting, it did assess triple damages
against a trades union, and proceeded
to confiscate the homes of the workers
to pay the damages. Justice Hughes
has a record for standing in with the
corporations see 2-cent fare law veto
and opposition to income tax.
:o:
John Murtey, the democratic candi
date for representative, is winning
golden opinions in the several sections
of Cass county that he has visited
There is a big difference in a gentle
man well fitted for such a position
and one that is not, and the voters of
the county can easily discern that
John Murtey possesses all the quali
fications to represent the people of
Cass county as they should be repre
sented. In case that President Wilson is re
elected, which is altogether probable,
he will need a congress to back him
up in his work the same as he has
now. Then don't forget this as elec
tion day draws near, and remember
Senator Hitchcock and John A. Mc
guire will be found supporting the
president in his efforts to do for the
people. They arc both friends of the
people and the president must have
the support of congress in order to
do for the people in the future as he
has done in the past.
:o:
The 8 o'clock closing law is an
amendment to the Slocum law. If you
are elected and prohibition is defeated,
will you rigidly enforce the 8 o'clock
closing law, Mr. Sutton. And if you
can enforce a law you do not endorse,
is it not more than likely that Keith
Neville, who is as honest as you, and
quite as able, will do the same thing?
"We believe everybody should learn
to swim," says an Instructor. Sure
thing. And then they will have the
pleasure of teaching the girls how.
"EIGHT SENATORS."
The Lincoln Journal argues with
democrats who were opposed to Sena
tor Hitchcock in the primary, telling
them that it is not necessary to send
back Mr. Hitchcock to the senate to
support the democratic administra
tion, that the democrats already have
a lead of fifteen senators over the
republicans, and one democratic sen
ator lost in this state will make no
material difference. There may be
some democrats who can swallow that
sort of dope, but they are making the
mistake of their lives.
When the senator from New York
was here, he urged that a republican
be elected to the senate from this
state. "Give us Mr. Kennedy," he
said, and he pointed out that it was
necessary to displace only seven more
democratic senators with republicans,
since Maine has added one to the
latter, in order to give the republicans
control of the senate.
And that was advice which is
backed with sense and logic. If those
who favor the re-election of President
Wilson are induced to vote for Sen
ator Hitchcock's opponent in this state
and if administration supporters in
West Virginia, Illinois, Kansas, In
diana and New York can be induced
to do the same thing, the senate will
be against the president. That sort
of. strategy would yield just the re
sults which the republican party lead
ers want. They tell you that one
senator more or less won't make any
difference, and they are telling the

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES.
Some eastern papers are trying to
make quite a stir because boots and
shoes have been put on the free list,
"thus opening American high-class in
dustry to the competition of the cheap
labor of the world."
Of course we realize that we are
putting up ii democratic argument
when we ask: What is wrong with
that?
But we believe in giving the devil
his- dues.-
There certainly is plenty of room
for criticism in the Underwood tariff
bill, but putting boots and shoes on
the free list should offer no occasion
for criticism.
The real place where the shoe
pinches the American pe'ople is in hav
ing the owners of machines used in
the making of boots and shoes walk
off with so many millions of dollars
each year without doing hardly any
thing. In this particular case protection
only means feeding the trust. Hast

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES.
from Tuewday j Dall.
The work of moving into the new
Carnegie library was commenced yes
terday, with the assistance of the fol
lowing named boys from the public
school: Claire Hudson, Holland Sut
ton, James Pei-singer, Miles Altman,
Victor Krivanek, Joseph McCarthy,
Paul Winscot. The entire juvenile de
partment was moved and the books
placed on the shelves in the new
