HAS COMPLIED WITH PURE FOOD LAW I. W. Herman, Proprietor of Palace Meat Market. Give Informa lion of Interest to All WRITES AN "OPEN LETTER" Alliance. Nebraska. Oct. 24. 1!'I2 I understand that some of the eo pti of Alliance proclaimed that ( I u.uited to run out my enmpetttora In the meat bualneaa In this city by building such a meat market as I lid. and to make my power still stronger constructing; such a alaught cr house as I have. So upon hls ground violation of the law has MM deemed advisable, so It aeeins. I ask Mai people of Alliai". to permit me to throw up a little bp ast work In self-defenae agaiu-i nun anarchy being permitted a. id unlawfully harbored by the st.i:e w'thin this city. I most respectfully ask the people- to e-lgh mv defense, winch should be juelged solely from i. -taiKlpoint based upon tact? a i: re. illy Is. lu the first place. 1 built this meat market In the early spring of I Ml and the preaent stringent pure food law was passed In I'.ill. The law under which I was to run out my competitors ill the law of 1109, pro viding I had such an idea above my eyes. It would be no one but an inlinite fool that were to build such an expensive meat market under the existing pure food law of L908 with the Intention of putting anyone out of business. If the construction of good buildings has the tendency to put others out of business and putting them to the wall of financial horror, then a law should prohibit ihe building of good structures be cause It doesn't well fit the other I' makes the dump look worse and the other too good. Now, as to my expensive slaughter house being built with criminal in tel:t is full)' exploded by tile fact that the tate of Nebraska fined no for not having a slaughter house WtMTela I could obey the pure food law. Or. in other words, I was fin cd for carrying on unsanitary con ditions within. Now, this fine by 'he state look place six months be fore I started to build a sanitary slaughter Iioubc. Anil I but lier. il cattle and hogs in the old slaughter house for nearly :; years, not lUKHV ing anything about a pure food law oi I hat kind existing us enacted In the year lilt. Now, after finding out the law thru an unwelcomed Yln withont notice, I at on e . I fd the killing of cattle and hogs un der unlawful conditions Now, was It not the state of Nebraska that forced nie to build a sanitary slaugh er houae? I having been compelled by the law or the stale to obey its law. why Is It not dually compuls ory upon others to do the same? Or tdiould some have the privilege to in-actire anarchy"? Which do you think It should be? If I build up conditions so as to follow the de mands of the pure foot law, then J call myself a law-obeying citizen as far as the butcher business is coi.ivrncd. Now, what "kind" is he th.it violates the law? You name the gentlemen if he el I sn't follow mi rchy in its worst form. Now, 1 think 1 have made my de reuse clear to any intelligent MM thai I hae not been trying to run jmybody out in the meat business here. Itut before 1 close, let us ex amine this mutter a linle iurthei what my right and the rights of oth ers really are, and that is this: An lawful citizen of the state of Ne britska has an eiual right to call upon ofriciuls to compel others to obey the law of the state. Now. tie n, would that constitute the "run ning out" of business, 'he anarchist lc violate rs or the law ? I say no, if they obey the lu. ami yes. if they do not. ir run out of business because they don't obey the law or can't, then what? II anybody can not oley the law, then what is the law ror? Why should 1 be looked upon in this ti y as some sort of a "ulnnn V," 1 mxm I hud the credit to eoi-itruet in harmony with "luw" and enmniou -.-:ise, on which I pay "interest and taxes"? Why am I not entitled to receive justice by and through the state of Nebraska? Why does our city government stand idly by without appealiug to the tute for the abolition of wholesale violation of the pure food law. and the yet more important law or pub it,. hMiiih' I ask once more. "Who la playing anar.hy' around here?" Now. again: It is commonly be litvtd and said, that 1 did balld 'o the extent necessary to the full obey ante of the par - load lw, just to run my competitors out of their "holes" and on out of the meat bui neaa, while I craved to gobble sol . int ., m .

I am obl1.ad to build a slaughter hous" here at VI Dance to accommodate this dry, seems, and If I build and obliged to construct a good one regardless of of cost. Now, M I always like to do busi ness on principles emboiiyng future stability I make your company the following proposition: If you will place a brnnch house here this spring and cease the practice of selling meats to all others except the butch ers of this town, then would not, build a slaughter house and buy my whole tneut output from you the en tire year as long as I slay in tin meat business here.

Be n Brewshsr For Representative. H. I . Waa'tuund, Sr. For County Attorney. Eugene Burton Dear Voter: We are doing our utmost to insure the election of Governor Wilson to the presidency. We are doinr this regardless of party aftil i;itions. and invite the support of members of all political parties who favor a progressive and representative government. We believe you should vote for Governor "Wilson because he stands for equal rights for all and special privileges for none; because he stands for tariff revision downward; because he stands for the rights of labor, as shown in his record as Governor of New Jersey; because he stands for the income tax and the popular election of U. S. Senators; because he stands for trust legislation, which will prevent monopoly and the control of prices; because he favors government by and for the peo ple; because he opposes class legislation; because he preaches and prac tices clean politics; because he is a true progressive. President Taft's administration has resulted in disappointment and failure, occasioned by "boss" control of the Republican party. Roosevelt, while president, was closely allied with "Boss" Penrose, "Boss" Cannon, "Boss" Aldrich. and other "bosses," and only denounced them when they refused to support him. He is now being supported by the steel trust, the harvester trust, the sugar trust, and other special interests, and one of his closest lieutenants is the no torious "Boss" Flynn of Pennsylvania. Governor Wilson is absolutely free from any so called "Boss" influence, or domination of the special interests. Vote for your own interests. Cordially yours, DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CENTRAL COM M1TTE. W.
