Supreme Court Amendment
It should prevail at the primary elec
tion September 1st and at the general
election November 3rd
So many of the constitutional amend
ments voted upon in Nebraska fail be
cause the voters do not give them at
tention and study that The Tribune
feols impelled to urge in a special man
ner the importance of carrying the sup
reme court constitutional amendment
this year
The supreme court as now organized
is composed of three judges These
three judges are not able to handle the
grnatly increased businss of the court
This fact has been recognized by the
selection of commissioners Of these
there ore six sitting in two departments
The commissioner system is a make
shift however though effective so far
as it goes Wo have no criticism of
their work But the weakness and in
sufficiency lies in the system Commis
sioners are merely advisory clerical
They can but recommend The three
judges still have to finally pass upon all
decisions the judgments must be
theirs So it clearly appears to the
render and voter that the state of Neb
raska has the expense of nine judges to
meet while the work accomplished is
not at all equal to what nine duly and
constitutionally elected judges can ac
complish
The commissioner system is the best
possible perhapsunder our present con
stitution But it should be under
stood that it is far from satisfactory or
adequate its delays unavoidable under
the system are most exasperating and
often expensive to the litigants The
system is unscientific and should be re
placed by an enlarged supreme court
Thero are many technical objections
to the commissioner system but we
have not referred to them in this article
they could do little good in this con
nection but might obscure
This fact however stands out pre
eminent and clear A court consisting of
seven judges all located at the state
capital and performing their duties in
the state house would obviate quite all
the objections and shortcomings of the
present commissioner system
Let the voters of Red Willow county
intelligently and without prejudice con
sider this matter the result can hardly
be other than a quite unanimous vote
for the supreme court amendment
Will Merwin Stand For It
Bro Kimmell of the McCook Tribune
s one of the brainy pditors in the state
Here is one of his mighty efforts
Merwin is neither mooney nor
ready And that do settle it
Now anyone who can write as brilliant
an editoral as that should receive due
recognition and he would if his brains
were only in his head instead of his
feet Col Ready in H C hyphen

john F Cordeals candidacy for the
state ssnatorship nomination is progres
sing satisfactorily as he becomes better
known over the district and his prin
ciples and character are better known
and appreciated by the people
The people and by the people we
mean its clean thinking rational pop
ulation those who love mercy seek jus
tice and honor God and His creatures
are the salvation -of America and The
Tribune believes in referring public
matters to them for initiative We are
more and more convinced of the wisdom
of requiring public servants to go on rec
ord before election It is no reflection
on honor ability or character of pros
pective candidates It is simply an act
of reasonable precaution It avoids
misunderstandings misconstructions
Relieves legislators of lobby pressure
and insolent insistence
For twenty of the past twenty two
years Furnas and Frontier counties
have been honored with furnishing the
senator of this district and they show
no disposition to give the other counties
a chance to be represented This year
John F Cordeal of Red Willow is a can
didate for this office and the Republicans
of the western counties should give him
their united support We believe it is
the duty of every man to be loyal to his
own community when it can be done
without a sacrifice of principle A vote
for Mr Cordeal is a vote for a man well
qualified for the office and one who will
be a credit to the district Trenton

Wm Huscnetter For Commissioner of
Public Lands and Buildings
At a meeting of the Republican Coun
ty Central Committee held in David
City on May 30tb 1S03 the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
by said committee
Bo is Resolved By the Butler county
Republican committee that wo most
heartily endorse the candidacy of Wm
Husenetter of Linwood for the office of
public land commissioner
In support of his candidacy we wish
to mention some of the services he has
rendered his party Ho has been pres
ent at every county convention for thirty
years He has served the senatorial
district on the state committee for ten
terms He has represented this county
as a delegate in every state convention
for 22 years He has served three terms
on the stale executive committee Ho
has served two terms as chairman of
our Republican county central com
mittee and is now serving the third
time He has never accepted a polit
ical office carrying a salary with it In
these various capacities be has always
stood courageously for the best interests
of the party He has been thoroughly
in sympathy with the recent policies of
Roosevelt and two years ago was a
strong advocate for tho election of Gov
Sheldon Mr Husenetter has a com
mon interest with the farmers and ship
peas of the state in the enactment of
the Roosevelt policies as he owns and
operates a large ranch at Linwood and
is a vigorous advocate of these interests
In this endorsement of Wm Husenet
ter for land commissioner we wish to
call the attention of the voters of Ne
braska to the fact that Butler county
since its organization more than forty
years ago has never had a state officer
nor a deputy
Mr Husenetter has been a resident
here for forty years and we do not hesi
tate to present his name as we consider
that it is only justice to his long service
for the party
Attest L B Fuller Secretary
Frank Moores Position

sire that legislative candidates define
their positions on some very important
measures I gladly submit the following
To the Voters of Red Willow County
I heartily approve of the primary law
anti pass and railway rate legislation

erest Therefore I am in favor of
County Option and will work and
vote for such a law if I have an oppor
tunity to do so
I believe in some law that will furnish
a way for the establishment of good
country roads
I am a Roosevelt Republican and be
lieve in the policy of the square deal

PBErAItED AND rKINTED BY THE LEAUUE
To the Voters of Red Willow County
You are no doubt interested in the
highest welfare of our county and state
If so September 1st is tho time to show
it By far the most important issue
which will figure in this election will be
that of the saloon
The so called Merchants and Manu
facturers association of Omaha which
is notably controlled by tho brewers
havo been sending out their literature
and have asked you to support this
traffic Their plea is based on personal
liberty and taxation This plea deserves
your consideration for the county rec
ords of Red Willow county will show
that the tax payors of tho county have
been taxed recently to the extent of sev
eral thousands of dollars for court ex
penses and that was brought on with
out the consent of the voters of the
county for cases growing out of this
whiskey business
It would seem wise then on the part
of every voter to look after the candi
dates and find how they stand On the
legislative ticket both for senator and
representative there are good and true
candidates in both parties who believe
in the county having the privilege of
speaking in this matter They are op
posed to leaving to tho towns the decis
ion of this important question in which
the whole county is vitally interested
A large portion of the voters of the
county are disfranchised on tho saloon
question while paying heavy taxes for
court and other expenses caused by the
saloon Is this right County option
will surely win if the people come out
and vote We ask you to come to the
primaries September 1st and urge your
neighbors to come The only hope for
the saloon crowd is in a small attendance
at the primaries Your attention is
called to those candidates who are
pledged for county option for the offices
of state senator representative and
county attorney They are right not
only on this proposition but are known
to be right upon every other public
question and are clean capable men
Let us work together for their nomina
tion Signed Press Committee
