The Republican State Platform
- Points with pride to the achievements
of the Republican party under the splen
did leadership of Theodore Roosevelt
and insists that bis successor Bhall be a
man who will continue the Roosevelt
policies and suggests Secretary Tatt as
such a man
Commends the present state officials
for their care of the state institutions
maintaining the credit of the state and
reducing the state debt
Commends tne Nebraska delegation
in congress
Calls attention to the magnificent rec
ord of the last legislature which carried
out the pledges of the Repuplican party
as follows
1 A state wide direct primary
2 Abolition of the free pass evil
3 Comprehensive powers for the
state railway commission
4 More equitable rates for transpor
tation of passengers and freight
5 Equal taxation of railroad- prop
erty for city purposes
6 Abolition of fellow servant law
and full employers liability
7 A pure food and dairy law
8 Rigid economy in appropriations
Endorses the direct primary and
pledges such amendments as shall im
prove its workings
Commends the good work of the state
railway commission in its efforts to se
cure better freight rates for the people
of the state Calls for the rigid enforce
ment of the anti pass law
Declares that in suits at law corpora
tions should be deemed citizens of every
ctate where they have filed articles of in
corporation or exercised the rights of
eminent domain
Favors an enactment of the federal
law forbidding the federal courts from
issuing writs of injunction against state
officers charged with the enforcement of
state statutes
Regards with high favor the nominees
on the state ticket and invites voters
who believe in official probity and effic
iency to join in electing them
The fusion statesmen who are making
the feeble attempt to criticise republican
management of state institutions are
the same ones who were responsible for
buying up two tons of rotten butter and
storing it in soap boxes for the use of
one institution and feeding old soldiers
on wormy prunes and butterine and
quartering their own relatives in the in
stitution parjors at the expense of the
state when they are in control The
way to rebuke the hungry popocratic
horde which seeks to bring on another
reign of plunder is to vote for a continua
tion of republicanism and genuine re
form
or-
L
are magnificent young men the peers of
any in the Union in address and genuine
ability both brilliant speakers and
leaders in clean politics and statesman
ship The congressmen are men of ex
perience whose service to the state
bears the closest scrutiny The grand
work of the Republican legislators is
fresh in the public mirid With a con
dition which brings to the forefront such
men it should be a pleasure to the vot
ers to help roll up a big majority for the
nominees of this year A full vote will
show an appreciation of the past and a
confidence in the future A vote for
the Republican ticket will be an endorse
ment of the Roosevelt policy as it has
been carried out in the nation and in
the state
Voters will not forget that it has
been under the Republican state admin
istrations that railroad assessments have
been increased and corporate domination
has been wiped out that Republican
officials have put the state institutions
on sound basis and have stopped the
scandals of incompetent employes which
characterized fusion control They will
remember that Republican officials have
maintained the helpless wards of the
state in ease and comfort and have not
fed them on rancid butter slops and
wormy prunes the sort of diet which
made the fusion control famous They
will show their approval of the present
happy conditions by rolling up a big ma
jority for the republican ticket this fall
To the Voters
Allow me to call your attention to
the facts that I am still very much alive
and a candidate for county clerk at the
election next Tuesday I have grown
to manhood in Red Willow county and
ask the voters to carefully examine my
record Dont be misled by any stories
that I am trading votes with other can
didates in order to gain personal ad
vantage 1 never traded votes in my
life and never will as I dont believe in
such methods I am simply running
for county clerk on my own merits and
J ask you to consider my candidacy
Respectfully
Chah Skalla
Republicans of Nebraska should not
allow themselves to be lulled to sleep by
the idea that the fight is won before the
votes are cast The Fusionists have on
their side certain influences which wil
be able to concentrate a large body of
voters on short notice and will no doubt
plan to surprise Republicans in counties
where there seems to be no contest The
safe plan is for every Republican voter to
go to the polls early and vote
Competent painstaking and obliging
Charles Skalla will make Red Willow
county a capablb officer who will prompt
ly and thoroughly account to the people
for his stewardship Dont let such
bugaboos as alleged incompetency and
trading roorbacks deter you my Re
publican voter from voting for Skalla
Hes all right
Through request of various parties
we will bring to the minds of the voter
the fact that each candidate whose
name is on the ballot by petition must
be voted on separately That is those
desiring to vote a straight ticket and
marking at top circle of the column
will have missed all candidates by peti
tion
Truly the innocent suffer with the
guilty The prosperous west suffers
with the stock gambling brigands of
Wall street

The Last Word to Republican Voters
Indianola Neb Oct 30 07
To all Republican voters
I desire to impress upon your minds
the great importance of going to the
polls to vote next Tuesday If you love
the Republican principles go and vote
them if you are in sympathy with Pres
ident Roosevelt and who is not go
to the polls next Tuesday and vote for
the Roosevelt ideas If you believe in
the gtoat wave of reform that is sweep
ing this country of ours from one ocean
to tho other go to the polls Tuesday
and help the wave along by your vote
Be patriotic dont stay at home Let
me caution you all about stories you
may hear about the Republican candi
dates from now to election Turn
them down as untrue for they are
and are only told to lead you astray and
to get you to vote contrary to your con
victions In all cases they emanate
from the opposite side If the opposit
ion can make you believe their false
hoods they have gained one vote dont
you see The Republicans have a ma
jority in the county let us all work to
make it the largest ever polled
Your central committee is doing all it
can to elect the whole ticket Will
you do the same An hour or two is all
that is required of your time on election
day to go and vote let us urge upon
you to spare that much time and exer
cise the most important duty you have
to perform Dont fail to vote

To the Public
My name iB Frank M Colfer I am
twento four years of age and have lived
in the county for twenty three years
Those among you who came here in the
early days will remember my father
Thomas Colfer a pioneer of this county
and a lawyer of some standing He was
injured and died in 1890 I have no de
sire to further my own interests with a
view of using his reputation as a step
ping stone I simply mention this fact
that you may know more fully who I am
I am now a candidate for the office of
Clerk of the District Court on the Dem
ocratic ticket and I want to state explic
ilty that I am no mere figure head on
this ticket I asked for the nomination
got it and am out to win I am puttirfg
my campaign cards in as many places as
possible but notwithstanding Icanndt
see and talk to every voter in the county
I do not own a horse and buggy and can
not afford to run a livery bill of Yery
large proportion I have no campaign
fund from which to draw and every dol
lar that I spend is my own To put the
matter plainly The salary of the office
is not large and I would be foolish to
spend ten per cent of a prospective
first year salary on election alone So I
have come out in the columns of the
public press to ask your support I
want you the public to find out what
kind of a man I am and if I cant stand
the inquiry I dont want the office I
am making the campaign upon my own
resources and am not tied in any way to
special interests of any kind I am
my own manager and press agent I am
not going to malign or misrepresent my
opponent I hope to get your vote and
I certainly would like your considera
tion
John Johnson the present Democratic
Governor of Minnesota carried his state
by thousands and in the midst of a
Roosevelt presidential campaign and
wny Because when his opponent
with brass bands and torch light pro-
ceasions was loudly harping on National
issues Johnson was telling the people
that their concern was not the affairs of
congress hundreds of miles away but
the crying needs of their own state and
the people of Minnesota forgetting
party politics rose in their might and
made him governor He won in a clean
open campaign I am not running for
governor but Mr Johnsons methods
are mine I have asked you for support
and if I get it I will make no promises I
can not keep Respectfully yours
Frank M Colfer

that he is one of you He is admirably
qualified for the position to which he
aspires and if elected will serve your
interest to the best of his ability

A Word of Explanation
The names of somo Republican can
didates for county offices appoar on tho
printed ballots as though thoy had been
nominated by other parties as well
This is the result of voters placing their
names on Prohibition Socialist and
other ballots at the primary election
and is a matter tho Republican nominees
had nothing to do with and any effort
made to injure any Republican nomineo
by claimiug he is a Prohibitionist or a
Socialist or a Democrat or an Independ
ent is unfair and should be frowned
down by every fair voter Tho candi
dates of the Republican ticket nro not
seeking votes that way and they should
not be injured by an act or condition
over which they had no control
The Republican nominees are all
worthy of your support Give to them
heartily and to the limit
