BY YOUR WORKS ARE YE KNOWN
The recent accession of Congress
man Norrls to the growing Anti- Can
non ranks speaks in no uncertain way
oE the party expediency and the time
serving tendencies o the man who
lias three times voted to make Joseph
Cannon the second man in authority
in the United States
In a published statement for Nebras
ka consumption he says he is opposed
alike to Cannon and to the rules which
makes Cannon a dangerous arrogant
autocrat Cannon is an old man he
has been in Congress nearly forty
years he is a past master in the art
retrogression He is
of republican
chief of th eair brake department and
grand sachram in the Order of Stand
Pat For forty years he has heard the
cry of the people for reform and gave
them no heed For forty years he has
stubbornly stood when he could not
lead in the light ot progress aim
blocked the way to better things and
when permitted to lead he has deliver
ed his followers into the hands of
corporate greed special interests and
favored trusts
Through all this time his rule of
conduct has been akin to the laws of
the Medes and Persians unchange
able and unchanged Knowing this
sitting at elbows with it hearing it
from the very stones in the streets of
Washington Congressman Norris
voted to make Cannon speaker in 1903
That was his first term and might
have been overlooked upon the plea
of inexperience and stage fright But
two years later he sinned again and
with greater light Cannon was the
same national blunder swinging the
same red light across the way and
singing the same old siren song to the
pilgrims at Washington that he had
been for more than a generation
Two years later Mr Norris having
been for the third term chosen to mis
represent the people of the Fifth Ne
braska dictrict bent his suppliant knee
before the speakers chair and voted
to continue his intolerable rule Not
that alone he voted to create and rati
fy the rules of which he now com
plains and made it thereby possible
for the speaker to absolutely control
the greatest body of men on earth
throttle their every effort to be free
and make them the sport of his fancy
and his whims
Then the cock crew and Mr Norris
waked up He heard the rolling of
the thunders and the coming of the
storm and he ducked to the bomb
proof From it he issued his appeal
to the voters and asks for an im
munity bath
He does not apologize for nor ex
plain the past yet the very conditions
he now professes to deplore he voted
for three times advisedly knowingly
with prepense purpose to create and
then as if the burden of his folly and
cowardice had not rested hard enough
upon the backs of his patient constit
uency he gave his voice and his favor
to a gag rule for the house of repre
sentatives so that the hopes and as
pirations and welfare of a great a
free and an honest people might be
strangled at its portals
Cannon was the same Cannon two
four and six years ago as he is today
He has learned nothing forgotten
nothing It is as meet for Norris to
vote for him nowT as then Ethically
Norris did not make Cannon unspeak
ably bad but knowing he three times
voted to make him practically harm
ful and now has not the saving grace
of a penitent to own his wrong
What faith can voters have in the
man who has three times betrayed
their trust that he will not a fourth
time for the promise of a good place
on committees again commit the Can
non blunder
There is but one certain way of de
feating Cannons re election as speak
er Elect a democratic congress
There is no better place to commence
than by putting Senator Ashton in
the place of the opportunist and trim
mer who disclaims his own offspring
and proclaims against his own acts
Every Democrat and Populist ought
to apply the rule laid down by Senator
Beveridge when here He stated that
Mr Bryan was an intimate personal
friend and that he was one of the beat
men he ever knew yet he was not the
man for President measured by Beve
ridge standard There have been ap
peals made in the past and no doubt
will be this year to Democrats and
Populists to support Norris for the
reason that he is a nice fellow and a
citizen of our county It might be
worthy of consideration if they the Re
publicans would apply that rule in the
state by supporting Mr Bryan for the
Presidency who has done more for Ne
braska than a regiment of Norrises
could do from beginning to the end of
time

SAYS GOD MADE THE TRUSTS
Senator Dolliver Declares Creator will
Regulate Monopolies
Reno Nevada Oct 1G Senator Dol
liver of Iowa declared last night before
an audience here that God made the
trusts not man and that God would
be responsible for their regulation
Trusts are governed not by any
statute but by the laws of God made
for the protection of His own people
he declared The laws of God are
equal to the task of regulating the
growth of the trusts
Citing the law of maximum con
sumption Senator Dolliver said that
it was to the interest of the trusts to
make prices low so that consumption
would increase that postage stamp
revenue increased in proportion as the
price of stamps was reduced by law
that sugar sales increased and the
profits thereof with the reduction of
the price and fell with its advance
The sugar trust he said is in the
hands of the Author of the universe
Dolliver Says the Almighty Made the
Trusts
Granite City 111 Oct 10 William
J Bryan got a rousing reception in
this factory town when his special
train pulled into the station The dem
ocratic candidate had been made ac
quainted with the fact that a number
of the factories at this place were
closed down while several others were
working only one third time and he
used this as a basis for an exposition
of the democratic platform with re
spect to labor He declared that con
verts were not made by speeches so
much as by events and he said a
speech can only draw lessons from
events a speech can only point out
the connection between cause and ef
fect
The republican argument he con
tended did not attempt to show any
relation between cause and effect
The republicans he said simply
talk upon an incident taken hold of
magnified and claim credit for it if
it is good and if it be bad they throw
the responsibility on the Almighty
Within the last few days the coun
try has had an illustration of that
Mr Taft went out to talk to the farm
ers He told them that they were
prosperous and their prosperity he
said was due to the republican party
Now everybody knows that there are
but two sources of a farmers prosper
ity One is good crops and the other
good prices and when Mr Taft assum
ed that the republican party was re
sponsible for the farmers prosperity
he assumed that the republican party
was responsible for the good crops
He gave the republican party credit
where God was entitled to credit and
now conies Senator Dolliver who says
that God made the trusts and must be
relied upon to regulate them
Mr Bryan asserted that Senator Dol
liver and Mr Taft had gotten things
turned around God he said is
responsible for the good crops and the
republican party is responsible for the
trusts but Mr Taft attempted to rob
the Almigthy of the credit for the good
crops and Senator Dolliver attempted
to blame the Almighty for the trusts
that have grown up under republican
rule Now I only use this to illustrate
what I have often said that there is
no logic in republican argument
The citizens of McCook need not
hesitate in giving their support to Mr
Ashton for congress for the reason that
his election would delay progress in
the erection of the new Federal build
ing Mr Ashton will be as deeply in
terested in promoting the development
of McCook and will have as much in
fluence in the event of the election of
a republican congress for the reason
that he has pledged himself to oppose
Cannon re election as speaker which
places him outside of the zone of in
fluence for anything
Ex Postmaster General Heath says
I believe the prohibition party will
pull Ohio and Indiana through for
the republicans Now Mr Prohi
bitionist you see the republican party
is looking to you to help pull their
candidates through by casting your
vote for Chafin instead of for Bryan
and in some other states they expect
the same help from the socialists what
will you do cast your vote for your
party candidate and elect Taft and the
trust ruling power or vote for Bryan
and the interests of the common peo
ple

FAVORITISM IN TAXATION
Why should railroad taxes in Ne
braska be decreased at the same time
that farm taxes are heavily increased
For years the people of Nebraska
have been fighting for justice in tax
ation They have been fighting for
such a tax system as will compel the
big corporation to pay its just and
fair share of taxes equally with the
farmer and home owner
The republican party and the pres
ent Sheldon administration has taken
its stand against the people on this
issue
The state taxes levied on the rail
roads in Nebraska this year are 37
75455 less than last year
The state taxes levied on other
property this year are 1S291002
more than last year and almost every
dollar of this increase falls on farm
lands
Why this flagrant favoritism to the
railroads
If farm lands are growing so much
more valuable in Nebraska then and
for the same reason the railroads are
growing more valuable
lor the farms increase in value
only as they are cultivated more pro
duce more corn and wheat and oats
and cattle and hogs
And practically every dollars worth
of this increased production represents
increased business for the railroads
That means a greater earning capa
city and it is out of earnings that divi
dends are paid
A vote for Sheldon and the repub
lican state ticket is a vote to sanc
tion this favoritism and to ask for
some more of the same
A vote for Shallenberger and the
democratic state ticket is a vote in
protest and in favor of a just system
of taxation
Why Not Guarantee Both
A farmer sells a hundred dollars
worth of stock or grain to his local
dealer and gets a check for it He
presents it to a national bank and gets
in return a certificate of deposit The
next day he sells a like amount but
when he presents his check decides to
take the amount in currency and the
banker counts him out S10000 in the
notes issued by the bank Next day
the bank fails The farmer holds 200
of his obligations 10000 in the form
of a certificate of deposit and the oth
er 10000 in the form of bank notes
The latter is good as gold but whether
he will ever receive any portion of the
former depends on the condition of
the bank Why should the one be as
good as gold and the other doubtful
Simply because the bank notes are
guaranteed by the government and
the deposit is not Why should the
one be guaranteed and not the other
Why not guarantee both
Reason Not Prejudice Should Guide
Parties are indispensible and that
each should have its leaders is inevi
table The character of a party from
time to time depends upon the char
acter of its leaders If the leaders
are controlled by sinister influences
inimical to the interests of the peo
ple the party for the time being will
be controlled by such influences and
a victory for that party is a victory
for those influences The representa
tives of those influences do not ask
whether a candidate belongs to the
party of Jackson or of Lincoln but
merely whether he is friendly to the
interests they represent The voter
with no interest to serve but that of
himself and his country should learn
a lesson from them for they seldom
make the mistake of roting for a can
didate who is likely to thwart their
purposes When they are lined up in
favor of a particular candidate he
may rest assured that it is because
they have some guarantee that he will
serve the interests they represent and
then if ho is true to himself and to his
country he will cast his vote against
that candidate no matter by what
party he is put forward
Stand Patters in Control
Tafts nomination was heralded as
a victory for Roosevelt for the pro
gressive element of the republican
party In fact it was a victory for
the stand patters The convention
that nominated Taft also adopted a
platform lie endorses not only the
platform but the work of the conven
tion While the convention showered
boquets on Roosevelt it was careful
to see that none of his progressive
ideas were embodied in the platform
By a vote of SG6 to 114 a plank declar
ing for the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people
was defeated A plank in favor of the
publicity of campaign contributions
was defeated by a vote of SS0 to 94
Senator LaFollettes proposition look
ing toward the physical valuation of
railroads was defeated by a vote of
917 to G3 As to the guarantee of bank
deposits and the income tax the con
vention maintained a cowardly silence
There was not a progressive idea in
the entire platform It is reactionary
from beginning to end If the stand
patters the spokesmen and agents of
Wall street were able to dictate the
platform do you imagine they would
have permitted Tafts nomination had
they considered him unfriendly
A leading magazine says Long
lease of power has made the real rulers
of the republican party corrupt The
republican party has had a long lease
on the ruling power of our country and
the real rulers will not listen to the
cries of the reformers that spring up
in their party Where then can you
go for relief you may be a socialist
prohibitionist or believe in the policies
advocated by some other party but
how can you hope for reform by cast
ing your vote for any of these candi
dates when you know they cannot be
elected but that Bryan or Taft will be
our next president
How are you going to vote Are you
satisfied with present conditions Do
you think the trusts and monopolies
ought to be allowed to rule our coun
try Do you believe our billion dollar
trusts infants ought to be protected
with a Chinese wall If you do then
vote for Taft and the republican can
didates But if jou are not satisfied
with the present trust ruling power if
you believe our infant industries that
sell their products in the markets of
the world ought not to be protected by
a Chinese wall then you cannot in
justice to yourself and your children
vote for the republican candidates
