Official Paper of Dakota County
John L Kennedy is going to lie the
next United States senator from
Nebraska. He is making friends ev
ery day and if he keeps growing in
popularity in the remaining few
weeks as he has in the past fort
night, he will get a rousing big vote.
Every republican owes it to his party
and to the welfare of Nebraska, to
throw off his coat and help elect Mr.
Kennedy. Let's do it. Syracuse
Journal.
It is mentioned to the credit of
Judge button, republicnn candidate
tor governor, mat in ine apru
pri
mary lie carried every Omaha waid
where the better ehussof people live.
It is pointed out that he carried
every rural precinct in Douglas
county. He carried the counties of
Burt, Sarpy and Washington where
he served as district judge for six
teen years. The people who know
Judge Sutton best, are his strongest
supporters a fact which giv.es em
phasis to his fitness for the chair of
chief executive of Nebraska.
Wayne Herald.
Judge Jacob Fawcett of the su
preme court is a candidate for elec
tion as its chief justice. Judge
Fawcett in regarded by the Nebras
ka bar as a man of the highest in
tegrity and one of the most able
jurists who ever served on the high
bench of Nebraska. Judge Fawcett
is distinctly a self-made man, having
worked his own way to a legal edu
cation. His exceptional talents were
soon recognized at the bar, resulting
in his election as a district- judge of
the Omaha district, later confirmed
by re-election, making a continuous
service of eight years. Judge Faw
cett was appointed to the supreme
bench in December, 1908, was elect
ed to a full term in 1909, which Le is
just completing, and is a candidate
now for election as chief justice on
a non-partisan ballot. No higher
compliment can be paid Judge Faw
cett than to restate n truth univer
sally known to the legal profession
of the state: That ho is everywhere
regarded as fearless, unbiased and
capable in the highest degree. His
election as chief justice will bo both
a warrant and a guarantee that the
work of the court will be expedited
to the fullest degree consistent with
careful and scholarly consideration
of the issues presented', Judge
Fawcett'a record on tho bench fully
bears out this well-earned reputa
tion. '
Will Mr. Hitchcock please explain
why the democratic congress in
which ho took a very active part cre
ated 550,000 new offices for "deserv
ing democrats," at an annual ex
pense to the tax payers of this coun
try of $30,000,000.00? Will Mr.
Hitchcock pleaso explain why tho
03rd congress of which ho was a
member appropriated several mil
lion dollars more than any prcod
ing republican congress? Will Mr.
Hitchcock explain how much of this
appropriotlon went into the pork
barrel of tho south? Will Mr.
Hitchcock explain why ho voted to
protect through the Underwood
tariff tho products of the southern
farmer? will Mr. Hitchcock ex
plain why ho did not, by his vote,
protect the interests of his own Ne
braska farmers, instead of permit
ting their corn, wheat, and hogs to
bo placed in competition with every
other producer in the world? Com
ing closer to home, will Mr. Hitch
cock explain why ho appointed Fan
ning tho postmaster at Omaha,
when he know what kind of a man
Fanning was? And will ho explain
why he appointed Fanning, if ho
knew at the time of making this ap
pointment that Fanning had been
charged with violating tho Alberts
law? An explanation of these mat
ters, and others in Mr. Hitclicock's
record would bo interesting to Ne
braska people, more so in fact than
his eulogies of Wilson. Hitchcock
realizes that his explanation of these
matters of his record would make
votes for his republican opponent,
John L. Kennedy, and that is why
he is silent, preferring to talk en
tirely upon why Wilson, should be
ro-elected.

J.J. McAllister's Candidacy
A Letter to the People
--READ-
Dakota City,- Neb., Oct. 1G, 191G.
To The People of Thurston and
Dakota Counties:
I desire to say to you that I am a
candidate for representative on the
democratic ticket. Democracy
means the strength, the rule, the
power of the people. It means that
in a republic, the people should rule,
not the classes. In this sense I am
a democrat. I believe in the abso
lute right of the people to control,
own and administer their govern
ment, state and national.
The chief end of government
should be the welfare of the masses.
The masses of humanity, with souls
and hearts and minds, labor to work
out their own problems, involving
their welfare. This should be tho
purpose of government the welfare
of the masses. So far as govern
ment achieves this, it is a good gov
ernment. So far as it ignores the
interests of" the masses, and pro
motes the interests of privilege and
special interests, it is .not a good
government.
For fifty years special interests,
trusts, corporations, combinations,
syndicates, stockholders, have been
the care of government. The peo
ple have been overlooked. Their
grievenances have been obscured
and ignored. Infinite selfishness and
avarice have been allowed to prey
upon the necesities of life, tho pro
ductions of tho people and tho toil
of millions. The Morgans, thoGug
genheims, the Carnegies, the Rocke
fellers have been allowed to lord it
over the people, their government,
their property, and their natural re
sources. Rivulets of wealth are
given to the people, and it is called
prosperity, while their feudal mast
ers swim in oceans of wealth, stolen
from the people.
The wealth of the nation is con
centrated in few hands. The springs
of wealth, the public utilities, the
natural resources of tho people,
the products of the farm, the finan
cial power of the country, are, all,
exploited by monarchs of great
wealth. Two per cdnt of the people
own ROtf of tho nation's wealth,

S. W. McKINLEY
Non-Partisan Candidate for
County Judge
FOR RE-ELECTION
Non-Partisan in the' Strictest Sense
of tho Word
while G5"0 of the people own but 5U
of its wealth, as a result of t",
control of the springs of . ui i$
the privileged classes. The shep
herds of the people have neglected
them. They have been turned over
to the tender mercies of men with
hearts of stone; and these gentlemen
have become so powerful and arro
gant that they think the "everlasting
hills have been created for them as
an inheritance."
We want our own people happy
and contented, ruling themselves,
obeying law, and not oppressed by
selfishness, nor waylaid by exploit
ers. I favor ownership by the peo
ple of all public utilities; and of all
natural resources. In this principle,
I am supported by the conduct of
the prdsent administration. It has
taken over to the people the coal
and railroads of Alaska; arid is now
about to create a merchant marine,
to control the paths of the sea for
the people. This shows the govern-,
ment is getting a heart, that beats
for the masses. I favor taking over ,
the springs of wealth in our south-,
ern latitudes, as well as those lying
under the Artie circle.
The farmers have been systimati
cally robbed by a grain and meat
trust; and the consumers of farm
products have been robbed too. I
favor national elevators, public stock
yards, public markets, a state office
of markets, or other efficient agency
of government to dispose of farmers'
product, so as to secure him and
the consumer from tho piracy of the
grain trust.
I favor our colleges 'teaching co
operative business, cooperative law,
cooperative marketing, buying and
selling. Cooperation has been
a chief source of success for the cor
poration and stockholder. I want
the people to know its secrets, and
its power for good for the masses.
I believe in a broader and more
economic use of the surplus money
of the people than is now attainable
under present selfish methods.
I am against the "Short Ballot"
so called, as leading to despotism
and one man power and utterly in
consistent with democracy.
Education is the Citadel of our
liberties. Wo must make it a tower
of strength for the masses against
the cunning, selfishness and power
of corporate greed. The country
child must be given equal advantages
with the city child for education. I
favor the state printing for schools
at cost, for the people.
I favor good roads to enable the
farmers, to get their products to
market. I favor state hail insurance
for farmers.
I favor strict regulation of tele
phone rates with proper regard for
the interests of the people, and ad
justment of these rates and charges
for service.
I favor abolishing power of courts
to set aside laws enacted by the
people.
In a word, I am for the masses.
Their wellfare shall be the measure
of my service, should I bo elected
representative. This is my plat
formthe interests of the people.
On this I appeal to the generous elec
tors of these counties Thurston and
Dakota for their support of my
candidacy for representative at tho
coming election.
Very Respectfully,
J. J. McAllister.

,. . .,. :a it laid nu-
u.iuli at some len i in favor
ol the election of Andrew -rissey
ns chief justice of the statt iremo
coir t. In the course of its dlscus3ion
the World-Herald gives all reasons
but its real reason for supporting Mr.
Motrissey. That reason is that Mr.
Morrisney in tlie candidate who hap
pens to ho u democrat, and a demo
crat of the World-Herald faction.
The non-partisan judiciary has al
wiyj been a hypocrisy and a farco in
Nebraska. It was that in its incep
tion. It was adopted as a party meas
ure, not to secure non-partisan elec
tions, but in tho hope that it might
result In the occasional election of a
democrat to the supreme bench. The
idea, If We may judge by practice, has
been that democrats were to vote for
candidates who were democrats be
cause they wore democrats, while re
publicans were to vote for tho demo
cratic candidates because the bench
was to be non-partisan. In accordance
with this system the World-Herald
makes Itself an advocate of the demo
crats ho has been nominated for su
premo Judge. '
It is not a matter of any Importance
whether a judge of the supreme court
be a democrat or a republican, so
long as he knows the law and is n
fair-minded man. But no one likes
to servo as an easy mark. If demo
crats are to play politics with their
non-polltlcal judicial y republicans
will be hardly less than human if they
do whatever is necessary to keep the
scheme from succeeding. When Sen
ator Hitchcock gets behind the dem
ocratic candidate for chief justice, re
publicans are apt to be reminded that
Judge Fawcett, the opposing candi
date, is a republican of long and dis
tinguished judicial experience. Tho
primary vote suggests that there are
about 20,000 more lepublicans than
democrats In Nebraska. If the dem
ocrats want to make a party issue
of tho chief justiceship, Judge Faw
cett and tho republicans havo no rea
son, rom the standpoint of success,
to object. Nebraska State Journal.

WILSON FLEXIBILITY.
Wo do not sco why thero should
havo been any stir in tho senate over
tho discovery that President Wilson
lias completely reversed himself In
tho matter ot tho proposod child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr. Wlhou described this legis
lation. In his "Constitutional Govern
ment" as unconstitutional?-an "olivi
ouy absurd extravagance." carrying
'tho congres3sional power to regulato
commerce beyond the "utmost boun
daries of reasonable and honest In
ference" and making it possible, if
sustained, for congress to leglslato
over "ovory particular of tho Indus
trial organization and action of tho
country." That, wo must confess, has
also boon the Evening Post's view.
But tho Evonlng Post and Senator
Borah are old fogies, dating back to
tho tlmo when It was the custom to
Imvo fixed beliefs and principles and
stick to thorn. Tho senator has evi
dently not read Mr. Wilson's lotter in
explaining his chungo ot front on tho
tariff commission that it Is only a
narrow man, whoso mind la stupidly
closed to now Ideas, who does not
niter his opinions. By this teat, Mr.
Wilson is obviously one of tho broad
est minded mon this country has ever
produced, for he has changed his
mind, to dato. on tho Initiative, refer
endum, recall, woman suffrage tho
tariff commission, tariff for revenuo
only, a permanent diplomatic sorvlco
beyond politics, the merit system in
tho civil servico, tho propor place of
Tammany Hall lid tho schome of tho
universe, child labor legislation, pre
paredness, Bryan, a continental army
but why continue? It Is a long
enough list to provo that Mr Wilson's
political vlows are not fossilized by
any fear of inconsistency. New York
Evening Post.
