REPRESENTATIVE Philip Gliom Danbury COUNTY ATTORNET C E Eldred McCook COUNTY COMMISSIONER Janios Hatflold McCook The returns from tho Vermont election 6hov a Republican majority of about 32000 This is protty good evidence that those staid old Pilgrims are not afraid of Teddy One need not keep his ear very closo to the ground to hear of the growing popularity of Congressman Norris His majority will be much larger than it was two years since The Republicans stand by their prin ciples so successfully asserted in 1896 and 1900 The Democratic factions are held together very loosely by two strings one representing fear and the other hope Is the party that fought the estab lishment of the gold standard with a frenzy bordering upon fanaticism to be considered to have foievor recanted its heresies

Hastings Wednesday of last week after tho nomination had been offered to numerous of the faithful without secur ing a taker is a pretty fair indication that this is an off year for Demo Pops in the Big Fifth Only for representation and something to point with pride to in the future they might better have endorsed Congressman Norris and made his selection unanimous Holdrege Ind Progress DOING AND DENOUNCING It must be remembered that the party which is today denouncing Roosevelt and the Republicans is the same party which denounced Lincoln and called the war a failure in 1864 It is the same party that denounced Grant in 1872 It denounced McKinley up to the very hour of his death It is very easy to de nounce It is not so easy to do Ever since 1860 the Republican party and its leaders have been doing while the Dem ocratic party and its leaders have been denouncing And yet the old flag still waves the constitution is still supreme Republican policies have carried the Ayers Cherry

more the company has placed one of the new R4 engines in service This engine the CB Q 1901 pulled the train otit of Lincoln last night on its initial passenger run This is one of the new series recently bought by tho Bur lington It is a machine of great size and pulling capacity and said to be capable of fair speed performances al though it does not show so much speed in its appearance as the lighter machines bought a year or more ago These en gines carry six drivers and one pair of trucks in front The drivers are set far ahead under the boiler and are not nearly so large in diameter as the engines of the P2 class used on the main line west It has a 22x28 inch cylinder and a boiler of tremendous size While it has great weight and pulling capacity it is not so high in the air as some of the engines in use The top of the boiler is level thus giving it more of a common place appearance Lincoln Journal Advertised Letters The following letters were advertised by the McCook
