In following tho struggles of n poli
tical campaign, seeing thoohurgosand
counter charges watehing the lines
advance ami retreat we are sometimes
lost in the lnt.y smoke which envelop
es us At such times it is with feel
ings or great roliei' that wo can turn
and contemplate thetmassumiugclinr
acter of the lead rules or tho individ
ual M. Quad. Kven pi falls to appear
dlsustto'us. And that which wo arc
wont to abhor bv contrast with those
other thiiiL's seem to have lost tho
power to arouse our animosity. Wo
aro indeed thankful that this great
stato of ours lias but ono election dur
ing the year.
Mr. W. h. Weesner stands squarely
on Mm Democratic state platfotm and
appeals to the voters for his support
on tlm principles and declarations
therein contained Air. Weesner is u
catnliihite for lloat representative and
as such candidate is entitled to the
serious consideration of tho Intelligent
voter. He is a careful pi iident man of
airairs and if elected the stato will re
ceive the benellt of his. years of exper
iutieo and activity.
It. I). Sutherland does not have the
national hoiuo or representatives to
assist him in making his oumpnign for
a seat in congress. Neither lias he
ever worn tho Cannon label. He Is
relying upon his unquestioned ability,
his opposition to "the best tariir law
ever enacted," his opposition to all
monopoly and vested luteiests, to ap
peal to tho fairness and common sense
of tho voters on election day. Mr.
Sutherland is meeting with great en
couragement. People every where
thruouttho fifth district aie enlisting
in his behalf and this cannot help but
be very gratifying to Mr. Sutherland.
This district is awake this year and
recognizes that in Mr. Sutherland it
will have u man who will icpresent
tho interests of this district.
Dahiman Speaks In Red Cloud
The announcement that Mr. Dalil
man would appear .on behalf of his
candidacy for Governor drew n con
siderable crowd to'the Bed Cloud opera
houso last Tuesday evening. He made
a forcible and interesting nddrc-s of
over an hour's duration, and the opin
ions expressed by those who heard
him arc generally favorable. That
Mr. Dalilman increased, his standing
and made votes here'ieltUc opinion oil
his friends, and it is certainly true
that his alleged personal shortcomings
which have so horrified the Repub
licans lmvo been temporarily obscured
by tho counter charges against his op
ponent. After being introduced to
tho audience by Mr. llernard McN'eny,
Mr. Dalilman said, in part:

The Chief this week tries to mislead
tho voters by claiming for Mr. Mauror,
the fusion candidate for county at
torney, a btg law practice; and claims
he has had, some 10 justice cases in
tho last 12 months. Wo believe an in
vestigation will show that these are
small collections. Of course Mr.
Mnuver docs lots of collecting and is
known chletly us a collector." Argus.
If publishing the sworn statements
of the men who pi eslde over our courts
of justice is misleading we plead
guilty. If publishing plain statements
of facts aie tnisleadlne then we have
transgiessed. Some one started the
story that Fred K. Maurer candidate
for county attorney on the democratic
ticket had no practice and somo ono
did that to mislead. We published
the facts as Miey appear on tho records
aud now the Argus accuses us of "mis
leadlim" the ncnple. The Argus inti-
matos that Mr. Maurer has a good
business as a "collector" and that is
true. Good collect ms sometimes have
cases in the justice courts, sometimes
in the county court and good collect
ors also appear in tho district court.
This is part lor all) of mi attorney's
civil cases. Now that tho ball has
started to roll suppose that our es
teemed contemporary produce the
record of the cases handled during
tho same period by Mr. Maurrr'.s op
ponent. Tho facts ain Mr. Maurer is a clean
capable, etllclont attorney, lie at
tends st i icily to his own business and
no amount ot abuse or belittling will
have any ctl'cet upon tho minds of
those who know tho gentleman, lie
is a graduate of our high school and
of the law department of our own
btate univeisity and lias lived all his
life lu Webster county. Ho is thoroly
honest and reliublo and if elected to
tho otllco of county attornoy he will
give tho people a careful, honest and
faithful administration.

been reading thoso newspaper reports

you woie that bad." 1 said, "Uattle,
I am going to admit half of it mid deny
the oilier half." You can take cither
half you want, but one-half of it 1 am
going to deny, because if I were to
come into lied Cloud and go to picking

half lie is mi average American citlzon,

Geo. W. Lindsey, Democratic Candidate for
Representative of Webster County, Nebr.
Tno object of this e tnl is two-fold: First of all to thank you sincerely,
for your royal support in nominating qie a compliment whinh any man may
well be proud of.
Second. It is my way of introducing liiysulf into the political Aieiui

Count; ! To this "Common Cause" let me usk the support of every voter.
Thanking jou for whatever vmi may be able to do for me. and pledging
you, it elected, mv very best elloi ts for all of Webster County.
In this ago of political Chicanery every voter has a right to know what
his Representative st uids for. He should decline himself openly, and "on
the square. ' and when elected, should thus conduct him-elf.
(Jovernnient first, party second; principles first, pai ly second; men Hist
and party second. This is MY political creed.
Business principles should bo inculcated into politics to the end that all
needless expense may be saved.
Biennial elections is what the lax payeis want, it would uve thousands
of dollars.
The present Primary Law is a needless double-tux upon the taxpayers,
and should be repealed.
The Agriculture Interest of our County demands bettor roads. A law
should be enacted providing for smaller road districts in the counties, with
local self-government. All moneys for roads and bridges should bo equitably
apportioned and distributed among the several counties.
I stand for County Option, and llrinly believe that Good Government
and Public Morals will be best served in that way.
Respectfully submitted,
