David City , Nebraska , Oct.24 , 1910.
TO THE PEOPLE OP NEBRASKA.
Ever since the beginning of this
campaign a great many stories have
been set in circulation regarding
Chester H. Aldrich of this city , can
didate for governor.
The Ministerial Union of David
City on its own motion assumed the
responsibility of investigating the
following charges with reference to
Mr. Aldrich. and we believe it our
duty to report the facts to the voteri
of the state. i
( lThat Mr. Aldrich has been mcr
rled several times.
(2)That Mr. Aldrich made himself
rich in the race horse business.
(3)That ( ) nine years ago Mr. Aid-
rich obtained a divorce for a New
York woman on a perjured testimon
(4)That ( ) Mr. Aldrich failed in
David City and settled his indebted
ness at the rate of 20 cents on the
dollar.
(5)That ( ) some six'years ago Mr.
' Aldrich sustained a broken leg as
the result of a brawl in a house of
illfame.
) 6 ( That Mr. Aldrich is in the
habit of drinking and of becoming
Intoxicated. .
We find that each and every one
of the above charges is absolutely
false and malicious and we believe
they are being circulated with a de
liberate purpose to cloud the issue
and confuse and deceive the voters
of the state , with reference to the
moral life and good citizenship of
our fellow townsman.
We believe further that we have
conclusive proof that these stories
emanated from brewery sources for
the purpose of scattering the church
vote.

BRYAN A DRAWING CARD
Boasts of Democracy but Draws the
Line Against Dahlman.
W. J. Bryan visited Broken Dow
Tuesday and delivered two addresses
lie spoke to the pupils of the High
School in the forenoon and made
a political speech In the opera house
In the afternoon. The building was
crowded , several occupying standing
space on the stage.
His speech was divided into three
parts. Ho first dwelt upon the de
finition of democracy as contrasted
with arrlsu v iv.cy. As the United
States has no\Lr Let n in the class of
arrlstocratlc governments , ho could , j
if it had suited his purpose as well ,
have substituted the word ropubli-
lican for democrat , as either repre
sent in practice the same fofm of
government.
The Huvnpoon government that
ha1 o recently changed to an 'elect
ive- form cil'govi'rnmt'iit are purely
on a republican form 01' government. ]
patterned after the United States.
The change cannot honestly be cre
dited to 'democratic success from a
political point of view as Mr. Bryan
implied , no more than it could bo
credited to republican success , as
it was neither. J >
The second division of his speech
was an effort to claim democratic
credit for all progressive legislation
that has been had since the beginn
ing of his public career fourteen
years ago. Ho specially mentioned
ids campaign for an increase of the
cun'ency fourteen years ago , but did
not explain that his financial theory
on which ho had such a following in
Custer county was based wholly on
the inflation of sliver " 1C to 1. "
In his plea for restoring democ
racy to political power for the pub-
lie Icro'lt , he did not mention the
t , lit iliiuiiclal and industrial
crisis and destitution during the last
administration of the democrats
nor did lie assure his hearers that
the policy of the party would be any
different than then. In fact he im
plied that it would not , as his bur
den of complaint was the Payne-
Aldrich tariff law under which the
people are enjoying the greatest
prosperity in the history of the gov
ernment.
Ho urged that democrat candidates
for congress should be elected as
they would revise the tariff down
ward. IIo might have added down
ward for revenue only , free trade ,
which would be followed if not pro
ceeded by such a panic as this gen
eration has not seen only under
Grover Cleveland's last adminis
tration when both houses of"cion -
gress and the executive were demo
cratic.
The third and concluding portion
of his address was for county option
and against .Dahlman for governor.
Ho charged 'that Dahlmnn was not
the nominee of a majority of the
domocart party and that he was run
ning on an individual platform not
sanctioned by the democrat party
and that no democrat was under ob
ligation to support him.
The last portion of his speech was
frequently applauded. He still has
his happy way of expressing himself
and his large audience was well
entertained if not agreeably enlight
ened.
Tnylor off on the Wrong Foot
W. J. Taylor Is sending broad cast
overthe county cards on which ho
Jias printed his declaration of prin
ciples for which ho will stand if
elected to congress , Among the
long list is his declaration that ho
will have the amount of improve
ments required on a G-iO acre home
stead reduced from $800 to $200.
That is just what about 90 per
cent of the Klnkaid homesteaders
do not want. Two years ago Cno-
grcssman Kinkald Introduced a bill
to reduce the required amount of
improvements from $1.25 an acre to
10 cents an acre. Such a flood of
protests went In from the home
steaders ho did not push the bill.
The man who resides'on his land
and Improves it with the view of
making it a homo wants neighbors
Ho does not want some shiftless fol
low to stop In his community flvo
years on a claim without doing any
thing to enhance the value of the
country. Such claims would bo for
sale to the rancher the next day af
ter ho got his final certificate for
about government price to the dor-
trlmcnt of the community'and the
price of land in the community.
As the percent of that class of
homesteaders Is small Mr. Tnylor
will not gain any votes on that prep
osltion.
Halloween wasqulet for this place
This is due probably to the fact that
extra vlgllenco was exorcised by the
city officers and all attempts at mar
auding promptly nipped in Infancy.
Officers Towsely and Draper suc
ceeded in gathering in four young
gentlemen whoso tendencies were
tor roving and suspended them In
the bird cage for several hours , afto
the early morning breezes had thor-l
oughly cooled their ardor and a com
fortable 11 ro nldo looked btltoi to
them than anything else , tin- doors
were unlocked and they woio void
to hit for homo. The young inon ,
stood not upon the orders of going j
I but went at once , and the balance
of the night was free from dls '
turbanccs. No damage was reported
outside of the ovcrturnlnfg of a few
out-buildings.
A report reached hero Monday
night that Thcdford was being de
stroyed by fire. Operator Ed Pow
ell at that place telegraphed to Brok
en Bow that the fire was entering
the town and ho was ready to move
his household goods at a minutes
notice. But later on the flames
were subdued and the damage was
not near so great as at first roport-

several people were slightly Injured

A still alarm of flro was.sent Into

could be seen in the southeast portion
tion of the fair grounds. Messrs.
Orr and Lomax boarded an auto ,
and hastily repaired to the spot who
they found several sections of the
fence burning fiercely. They were
just In time , because a few minutes
more would have placed the fire
within the danger zone where it
would probably have gotten beyond I
control and done aot of damage. |
As it was.tho flames were quickly ,
subdued without a second call for
assistance being necessary. Pre
sumably , a passing locamolivo start
