tnent for tho people of McCook at pop
ular prices

GOV SHELDON WARMLY- GREETED
An Open Air Meeting is Required by the Crowd Which
Gathered to Hear Him
MEMBERS OF J K BARNES POST ESCORT HIM
The
Audience Included Many from Adjoining Towns and from
Over Red Willow County Music by High School Band
Governor Sheldon was given a hearty
welcome and greeting in our city this
week Tuesday on the occasion of his
speech on the issues of the state and na
tional campaign While the occasion
owes some of its importance and unusual
features to the fact that the personage
involved is the governor of this common
wealth at least two other elements en
tered into it theoplendid personality of
the speaker and the fact that the govern
or is easily recognized as one of the level
headed and reliable thinkers among the
young men who have come to the front
as progressive and square deal Repub
licans of late years and that he is a
doer of things as well The crowd
could not be accommodated in the opera
house and so arrangements were com
pleted for the governor to speak at the
corner of Main avenue and 2nd street
Here a magnificent audience assembled
and gave the governor close and patient
hearing during a speech of quite two
hours duration Among the crowd
were individuals from various parts of
the county and surrounding towns as
far west as the state line were represent
ed so the occasion took on more than
local color and assumed the proportions
of a district meeting
The governor arrived in the city on
No 1 shortly before noon and was
met at the train by the members of J
K Barnes post No 207 G A R the
McCook high school band and several
hundred citizens After cordially greet
ing the old soldiers and others the gov
ernor was escorted to his hotel having
spoken at Omaha the night before and
been on the train all the morning hours
While the greeting without planor1
ostentation it was spontaneous and
hearty
In the evening the governor faced an
audience to delight the heart of any
speaker at corner of Main avenue and
2nd street after being fittingly intro
duced in brief word by G S Scott
chairman of the Republican county
central committee His text might be
stated as Performance versus Promises
And along this line he amplified both
in state and national affairs
In the state he gave the record of the
different departments as to efficiency
and economy Reduction of state debt
from Sl917000 to 8600000 passenger
fares from 3 to 2 cents per mile express
rates 25 per cent freight on grain live
stock fruit lumber and coal 15 per
cent saved shippers and passengers
86000000 without reducing wages or
preventing fair earnings on capital in
All
vested increased value of railroad pro
perty for municipal taxes increased
value of same for general taxation 85
654441 abolishment of pass evil enact
ment of direct primary law control of
railroads and fixing of rates through
commission put an end to rebates and
discrimination in rates made it neces
sary for roads to get permission before
changing rates placed telephone tele
graph express and street railway comp
anies under commission supervision
the pure food law added one per cent to
interest rate on state funds made roads
liable to employes for injuries resulting
from negligence of fellow servants and
other employes and repealing the
statutory provision limiting to 85000
the amount recoverable for death by
wrongful act etc
After making an appeal to the voters
to return to congress our honored citi
zen Hon G W Norris and expressing
the hope that Hon John C Gammill
and Hon Frank Moore would be respec
tively chosen state senator and repre
sentative all of them on their records
or the platforms they occupied he re
verted to the national issues
It is not within the scope of this art
icle to relate the arguments advanced
for retaining in power the Republican
party and tho election of William H
Taft to the presidency In fine he cov
ered the accomplished facts of the
party during the past forty and more
years and contrasted them with the
promises of the opposition in a most
convincing manner The history of
America for the past forty years is
largely built about the history of Re-
Tryjaicanism for that tinia It is enough
to state that he made a strong and con
vincing case and met with tho approval
of his audience
The meeting was the best of this
campaign and was the first symptom we
have had of the existence of a national
campaign in the country
The high school boys played on the
platform as the crowd was assembling
in the evening
The opera house was in readiness
decorated in attractive national color
ings etc but was inadequate entirely
to the crowd
The governor is a big hearted big
framed boy with a frank face and a
common hearty style that just fairly
captivated the old soldiers
Besides meeting many citizens of Mc
Cook the governor made a trip through
the Burlington shops during the after
noon

Notice
To Patrons of McCook Electric Co
It is being circulated about town by
some parties that people will have to
re wire their houses and stores when
our new plant is built on account of
changing to alternating current
This is an absolute lie and the parties
who started it are very ignorant or are
doing it for personal benefit
The wiring for alternating and dir
ect current is the same
We aleo have on the market at cost
price the Tantalum and Tungsten lamps
which save you about one third on your
light bill compared with the carbon fila
ment lamp
Remember the wiring does not have to
be changed
