ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR - Telephone No. 226. If you think you would like to bc mayor of Falls City , speak right out. Bryan can't keep l : still and bc consistcnt. Silence is golden , therefore Billy will have nothing to do with it. . D. E. 1'11omsson has announced 1 that hc will not bc a candidate for thc United States senatc. He j made this annoucmeitt heard above rumble and thc roar of the ti Burkett boom. 'l'he Czar of Russia has become despondent. His despondency may be the result of the failure of tht : Hague tribunal to produce results , or it may be due to the failure of thc Russian navy to produce rcsults. Cleveland says he docsn't care what Bryan thinks of 'him and Bryant says he docsn't care what Cleveland thinks of him. If each accepts thc statet11cilt of the other as true , the further exchange of personalities is unnccccsary. 1iY 1 iY There has never been a single reason given why Governor lVIick- ey should not bc rcnominatcd and t re-clected. ' There has been no reason given because these : is 'no reason. His official .intcgrity is not questioned , and until it is , hc , has thc right of way in thc gubernatorial - ernatorial racc. There is i ractica11y no obje ' , - tion to the promotion of Elmer J. Burkett from the house to the senate. The people of the state realize that it is the only logical thing to do. It is a step in the direction of putting the best man l forward and such a course means ' a whole lot to the welfare of the state. i I This isgoing to bc rcpublican j year and much political I history is going to bc madc. Thc party in Richardson county is going to have an opportunity to participate in these events and to have its share of the glory that will come with party victory. Are we going - lug to take advantage of this J opportunity , or are we going to sacrifice it ou the alter of faction- .uHsm ; . If you have put one stone in the pathway of yourpart ; if you ( have by word or action clone one I thing to lessen its chances ; if you " \ ' - ' w have not been a faithful loyal and consistent republican , you will have no claim to a share ! in the satisfaction that will come when the victory has been won. If you have done any of these things , try to undo them. Get in linc. Bc a faithful republican. Give thc party organization all the help you can. Let's have a united party in Richardson coun- ty. Will you help ? The republicans of this county must not sleep , politically speaking - ing , from now until thc county convention is adjourncd. Already there arc movements on foot to mal < : c that convention anything but a republican convention. In every precinct republicans must bc awake and , on their guarcL The delegates who go to that convention must bc republicans , tried and true. The very existence - cncc of thc party in this county may bc at stake. In thc precinct caucuses may bc started a move- mcnt , that will send democratic legislators to Lincoln and per- haps a democratic United States senator to Washing ton. You can't tell what may happen. Republicanism - publicanism in this coon ty is passing through a crucial pcriod. It is up to t he loyal republicans to preserve their par ty Now is thc acccpted timc. INSURGENTS. No organization whether it be a government , a political party , a church or a lodge has been free at all times from thc machina- ' tions of insurgents , or those wheat at some time or anothcrhavc tak- en a stand against thc duly con- stitutcd authority that governs thc organization. 'l'hc insurrec- tion mayor may not reach the stage of a rebellion , but it never fails to work an injury more or less permanent , to thc authority so opposed. An insurrection is always a rebellion of a minority against a majority. It grows oat of an unwillingness on thc part of thc insurgent to abide by a majority decision. One of the fundamental princi- ples of a republican form of gov- eminent is thc "majority rulc"- thc voice of thc many ; , thc voice of al1. So thoroughly arc thc American people imbued with this principal that they have car- ried it into an of their social , religious - ligious and political organiza- tions Political parties abide by it in their committee meetings , their caucuses and their conven- tions. Its operations arc abso- lutc. Now , as long as a convention - tion is unanimous in its action , there is no application of thc majority rule , but as soon as there is a dissention or difference of opinion , thc rule is applied , thc sense of thc majority prevails and by thc very operation of thc . rule the matter is ended-the . voice of the many has spoken and has become the voice of all. This is just ; it is logical ; it is Amcrican. But unfortunately in some cases . thc minority is yet to bc dealt with. . It is no disgrace to belong - long to a minority for there arc times when the best of men have elected so to stand and await the opportunity of winning others to their way of thinking and thus add to their number until they in turn become thc majori ty. Every : man has a right to his opinion and every man has a right to express - press that opinion and to seek , by all legitimate means to make it the opinion of all. But there are those who will not bc content with this process of evolution ; who will not abide by thc majority rule and who re- fuse to recognize it as thc duly constituted authority that govern thc org"anizati011. 'l'hey resist that authority and become political - cal insurgents , seeking to disrupt and overthrow thc party , willing that it should bc destroy rather than that their opinions and their ideas should be o'crrulcd. As a rule , those who become political insurgents arc those who have made unreasonable demands of thc party and have met with rc- ftisal. They ask the party to reward their friends and punish their enemies ; to place them in office regardless of their merits or party cxpeclicncy. Thwarted in their designs they stand forth under their true colors-those of thc treacherous political insur- gent. Governments use drastic measures - urcs in dealing with insurgents ; churches dispose of them by due operation of canon law ; every organization - ganization provides for their elimination ; thc political party depends upon thc united and loyal support of its faithful adherents and thc power of thc ballot to rid themselves of insurgents. Every time a party wins a victory over its insurgents it has become that much stronger ; it has more power and the great principles which undcrly it as a party , arc assured of better support and thc party : itself has taken a long step to- ward thc achievements of greater things. - " ' Another Case of Rheumatism Cured by Chamberlains Pain Balm.
