The day will soon be hero when cverv voter in tho grandest republic in the world Will be invited to cast bis vote for a candidate for the most exalted position in the government, namely, president of the United States. This right is given to all, from the. highest to the lowest, the rich and the poor alike. When tho ballot box is entered the voter judges for himself and it is within his power to mark in the circle opposite the candidate's name for whom be will vote. From whence came this act affecting every individual of this great commonwealth? How many who will exorcise the right to -voto next Tuesday know who ad vocated and brought about this act making all men equal? History points out plainly that to Thomas Jefferson, the father of democracy, must be given credit. It ns thiough his efforts tbut we all have the right of fran chise today. Alexander Hamilton, the leader of tho republican forces, was in favor of class legislation and before a cittecn would be given power to vote, he would be obliged to possess a certain financial standing. This spirit smaked too much of the old English law, and tho young American colonists, who bad but recently cast off such a yoke, op posed and defeated the Hamilton idea. But the spirit is not yet dead. The battle ot.Jeffcrson, liko the opposition to tyranny, must bo fought even in next Tuesday's battle of tho ballots. On the one side stands Judge Alton B. Parker, the Jeffersonian candidate of democracy and equality of manhood, while on the other is Theodore Roosevelt, the repre sentative of Hamilton and class legis lation, of the rich vs. the poor. One believes! in the constitution of the United States and strict observance thereto. The other, that might is right and money must rule. The day is at band ! With whom will you cast your voto ? Jefferson or Hamilton? Parker or Roosevelt ? Your interest or that of the money power ? It's up to you voter, take your choice. VOIT. l'OIt HON. G. V. HKHOIm The campaign in the interest of Hon. George W. Borge, the fusion candidato for governor, is sweeping the state and the general prediction gives him a majority of 3,000 to 6,000. Mr. Bergo's open oposition to the free pass system, tho inequality of railroad tax ation, high freight ratos, etc., have drawn voters toward him irrespective of party lines. The conditions which the present revetuio law has brought lias sot tho farmcts ami stock growers against a contintiatiotnof tho Mickey administration. Lot the voters of Box Butte county assist In increasing Mr. Horec's'ina jority ntul thereby receive the bailouts of bis wisdom ami justice in the gov oiyor's olfico. sThnt A, C Johnson will poll a large voto in all parts of the county is tho opinion of n groat many. And there nro not a few political proRiiosticalora who arc predicting bis election. Re tnuinbur "Dad" when you go to the polls, boys. Win. Mitchell lias pioven such a strong and popular candidate among all clnaios that the opposition press tins" resorted to fulse insinuations 111 its attempt to injtiro him. Thcte is no (Utostion about his election. A vote for Robert Graham for ropio sontativo means that you will assist a man to tho legislative body in whom you can have implicit confidence. Mr. Graham, we can nssnrc 3-011, will prove an able exponent of the inteiests of stockmon and laboring classes alike, and ho will not be dominated by the in fluences of corporations. Protect your own interests by supporting honest, able 'Bob" Grahnin at the polls next Tuesday, HON. W. B. McNEEL Democratic Candidate for Congress in the Sixth District. If there is a man in western Nebraska who is 'meeting with merited success it is Hon. Walter B. McNee of North Platte, Democratic candidate for con gress in the Sixth Nebraska district. Mr. McNcel was in Alliance last Wed nesday for a short lime and while here had the pleasure of meeting a large number of voters irrespective of party lines. Mr. McNcel is a pleasant and inteiesting conversationalist and thor oughly acquainted with public questions which ho discusses openly and plainly. It is bis natural, manly attitude that draws the voter, and it was noticeable that even those who differed with him on political propositions held the same respect and consideration accorded him by party men. For those who have not met the Democratic candidate or beard expressions coming from him, wo consider tho following interview hearing 011 questions of paramount im portance to the people of this distiict as giving a good idea how Mr. McNeel stands and what the voters may expect of him in the event of his election: "I am getting acquainted with the voteis of my distiict," said Mr. Me Neel, "and it takes some traveling to do it. Tho Sixth congressional dis tiict is as large as the state of Indiana, containing 45,000 square miles of tun i toiy. I am gieatly interested '" thr development of western Nebraska and believe that much of its vaB .icimgc can be put under irrigation. It elected to congress 1 shall advocate tho sinking of artesian wells for irrigation purposes, and another thing as well, as I have a firm impression that most of the land covers minerals. There is every rea son to believe that coal exists under western Nebraska 111 quantities sum ciently large to pay mining operations, and in boring,) for artesian wells the drills will bring to the surface what lies bencath.There are thousands of others in my district who share in this belief If I am elected to congress I shall safegaurd the interests of my con stituents in every possible manner. 1 believe in direct legislation, govern ment ownership of public utilities, and the election of all public officers by the people. 1 am also in favor of larger appropriations for internal improve ments and less for external, so that tho taxes we pay the government will (low plentifully and freely among the noonle. I am entirely opposed to mo nopoly, trusts, fraud,, bypocriey and sham of every description. I am also opposed to a tariff on lumber. I do not believe the people should be freezing in sod houses for tho want of lumber pro tected by an unjust tariff. In the gub ernatorial campaign there can be but one ending. Mickey will run behind in every precinct in the state. We have Beige elected right now. Tbero is no mistake about it and as 1 have been visiting many communities during the past few days I know how things are going." Mr. Toxpaycr, Con You Afford This? Voters should remember that the cost of running the state government during the last four years was ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE than under the previous four years of fusion management. Do you want a continuation ol such extravagance? If so vote for Mickey, Currie and lirezee. Voto Against the Amendment. An unncossary expanse which the re formers have buen saddling upou thetax payers of the state is the proposed consti tutional amendment. Not one voter out of twenty pays the loast attention to it and all thinking men sao in it a chance for partisan newspapers to filch upwards of $25,000 from the taxpayers of the statu every time such an attempt is made. Vote against the constitutional amendment and rid the state of a squandering nuisance. HON. CHAS. F. COFFEE Fusion Candidate For Senator in the Fourteenth District. It is in a spirit of gratification that Tim IIkkald is able to announce the goneral expression throughout the 14th senatorial district of the predicted sue ecu of Hon. Chailes lr. Coffee, fusion candidate 'for this important position. The Confidence placed in Mr. Coffee's honor and integtity 1ms been and is the socio t of his universal popularity, His past rocord as a member ot the logis latin p was so well earned that his name is respected by men of all parties in the diotrirt who lmvc learned the wisdom of his oflicinl actions. In speaking of tho candidacy of Mr. Cof feo, the Chiuliun Times, published nt the home of this cnudidatc, says: , "Mr. Coffee is a native of Missouri, whote he was born Murcli 22, 1847. In 1 80 1 be emigrated with his father to Toas, where bo passed bis young man hood. In 1871, being fond of advent ure and partial to the free life led by the" cowboys in those exciting days, he began trniling cnttlo to Wyoming, and two years later he located a ranch and started in the slock business on his own account. In 1879 he married Miss CHARLES I'. COFFKK. Jennie Toney of Camden, Arkansas, and in the same year opened another ranch in Sioux county, Nebraska; but tor leuson that the country was wild and the Indians troublesome he did not bring his family hero to reside till about 1887. He lived in Sioux county up to the time he was nominated in kjoo for representative, when he re moved to Chndron to obtain tor his child! en the benefit of our excellent rchools. In his candidacy for the lower house of the legislature in kjoo be was successful against Allen G. Fuller, and received the flattering majorit' of 387 votes as a testimonial of the remarkableconfidence which peo ple reposed in him. Mr. Coffee remain ed in Lincoln during the session of the legislature, which lasted three months, the members getting pay for only sixty days, and he attended strictly to the duties which devolved upon him, shirking nothing, dodging nothing, but working faithfully all the tune for his constituents. He was well enough thought of by bis paity associates to receive at their bands two compliment ary votes for United States senator. There are three classes of men who make up legislative bodies. Those most noticed arc tho forensic members. Those usually the most effective are the silent but quiet workers who labor adroitly with individuals and are suc cessful. It is to this second class that Mr. Coffee belongs. Work on the side privately among legislators wns where lie'uiake himself felt in impoi taut points. Mr. Coffee is personally identified with all the people in his district. He has lived in this section of country from a very early date, encountering and over coming the hardships and dangers of the 1 emote frontier for many years, and has carved out an honorable suc cess and fortune. All the property ho owns in the world is right here paying taxes. He is one of the large cattle raisers of the state, and not one of them knows better than he what is best adapted to the stock interests of west ern Nebraska; nor can they accom plish more for the extension and safe guarding of this all-important industry. Let no man in this dirtrict be deceived into casting bis voto for an abstracter of real estate titles as against a man like Mr. Coffee who has arrived through experience to an unequalled knowledge of all the important requirements of this senatorial district."
