8. R. McKELVIE
Republican Candidate (or Lleutanant
Governor.
A vote (or Governor Aldrich is a
vote (or a man who is (earless and in
dependent In the discharge ot the
duties o( governor. He is not owned
or controlled by any clique or ring,
but is a true representative ot the
people.
Fremont Tribune: Congressman
Klnkaid has decided to response to a
unanimous request o( the republican
committee o( the Rig Sixth, to recall
his decision to drop out ot public li(e.
This means that the democrats will
not get control ot that district—not
this year. Nobody can beat Klnkaid.
Morebead made no (rlends (or his
candldaoy in his reoent visit to O’
Neill. His (allure to declare his posi
tion upon several ot the important
questions now before the people ol
the state was not very pleasant to O'
Neill democrats, and the general Im
pression is that he lost votes by hit
visit.
Many democrats in O’Neill admit
that their candidate (or oongress
Taylor, will not have a ghost ot i
ohance ot election, now that Judge
Ktnkald has entered the race anc
have announced their intention ol
placing their votes where they will dc
the most good—that is vote for Kin
ksld. _
Tbe voter who desires to support
capable men for tbe several state
offices will make do mistake in vot
ing the entire republican state tloket.
Its candidates are all good clean men
and worthy the support of men of all
parties who believe that faithful and
competent officials should be plaoed in
office in Nebraska.
The convicts In the Wyoming pen
itentiary, to the number of forty,
-broke out last week and after killing
three citizens took refuge in tire hills
near Rawlins, where the penitentiary
is located. All but nine have been re
captured and returned to jail. Demo
crats lay the penitentiary break in
Nebraska at the doors of Governor
Aldrich, but they can hardly blame
him for the Wyoming affair.
Annie Vio Gates, one of the gifted
writers of the state, is now on the
staff of the Blair Tribune and is mak
ing that paper solntlllate with bright
gems from her industrious peD. Dur
her years upon the Auburn Granger
Mrs. Gates won a name for herseli
as one of the most versatile and en
tertainlng writers in Nebraska anc
caused that paper to be widely quotec
throughout the state. The Frontie:
welcomes her back to tbe edttorla
fold.
y
Utica Sun: John H. Morehead.can
dldate for governor, was a member o
tips state senate in the last session o
the legislature. In this session Mr
Morehead strenuously opposed tto
fve and referendum by favorini
meats that would have made i
unworkable. He also opposed tbe
measure designed to regulate tbe
stock yards and a bill to regulate insur
ance in the state. All these meas
ures were intended to benefit the
general public. The majority of the
voters of all parties favored them.
Yet Morehead opposed them. Is this
the sort of a man Nebraska wants for
governor.
The people of the United States, ir
respective of politics, are rejoicing
over the fact that Colonel Roosevelt
will not fall a victim to the bullet of
the assasln, the latest from Chicago,
where he is in a hospital, is to the
effect that he will recover. The bear
ing and conduct of the Colonel in the
face of death speaks volumes In his
favor and convinces his bitterest op
ponents that lie is the manly and
courageous man ills friends all claim.
Tb* effect the shooting will have up
on tbe election this fall is problematic
al,but it seems to be tbe general opin
ion that It will add greatly to his
popularity and may be the turning
point In the campaign that will end
in his election.
Alma Record: Two more well
koown democratic newspapers came
out In support of republican candid
ates. The Mlnden Courier Is support
ing Oeo. W. Norris and Governor Aid
rich and says: “Aside from Governor
and United States Senator, the Couri
er will support the democratic ticket
in the main. We make this state
ment at this time so that all who op
pose such a stand may look up the re
cord of those men we will not support.”
Shield’s Tamora Lyre, another demo
cratic paper, says: “The Lyre has no
disposition to wrong Candidate More
head, either socially or politically, but
it for one, contends that he should
come out squarely and not dodge the
issue. Simply because he is a “self
made” man is no argument that he
will “do the right thing ”by all decent
people should he, be elected to the
governorship. The booze element
look upon him as its henchman, a too]
to do its bidding—and in conformity
with the belief, the bourbons will
work and vote tor him. It is not that
the Lyre loves Aldrich, more, but it
Is because it is opposed to the idea ol
giving the frontseat tothe“lnterests’
be they sharks of whatever descrip
tlon.”
Albion News: A few weeks ago Ibis
newspaper announced that it would
support certain candidates this fall.
In the list was one democratic. Num
erous democratic papers over the state
including the Omaha World-Herald
have published the item accompanied
by divers and sundry flattering com
ments relative to the honest indepen
dence of this editor and commending
xs for supporting the best man irre
spective of party. That’s all very
nice, but it would ring out much
clearer, and savor less of soft-soap and
blarney, if one of them showed any
disposition to do themselves what
,they declare is so commendable in us.
These democrats have ou their ticket
several candidates which they must
admit, in their secret innermost judg
ment, are Inferior to the respective
republican candidates. Why don’t
they exhibit a little of that commend
able independence they credit this
editor with having? Why don’t they
admit that John Morehead is a re
actionary and has a bad record? Why
don’t they admit that Harmon their
candidate for Railroad Commissioner
is totally unlit and undeserving of the
office for which he is nominated? By
their acts they show that they are
simply slobbering over us for political
prestige. We don’t deny that we like
to be commended for any position we
mav take politically or otherwise, but
unless the commendation comes froir
honest, consistent and commendable
men, we don’t place any value on it
and consider the alleged compliment
simply hot air and flub dub.
The Man For the Place.
The last session of the Nebraska leg
> lslature allotted Holt county one rep
resentative alone and one with Boyc
county. The latter division is num
- bered as the 54th legislative district
’ The republican candidate tor the 54tt
t dtstrlot is Jacob A. Snider of Naper
who has been circulating among th<
s voters of Holt county during thi
t week.
i Mr. Snider’s age and experieno
peculiarly fit. blm for the position of
representative. He came to Nebraska
In 1883 and has never voted in any
other state. For more than seventeen
years he was a teacher In country,
graded and state schools, serving six
years as a principal in the state school
at Kearney, Neb. As treasurer of
Boyd county for four years he made an
enviable record, being considered by
many,irrespective of party,as the most
efficient treasurer the county ever had.
At present he is farming west of
Naper in Boyd county where he Is
considered as a progressive farmer
and citizen. His nomination at the
late palmary election was without
opposition. His motto is “Let tne
people rule.” He has sent his signed
statement to the secretary of state
promising to vote for the peoples
choice for United States senator, In
the 54th legislative district, if he is
elected. A vote for Jacob A. Snider
will be a vote for a man who knows
the needs of bis constituents, who has
the ability to go after what they
want and the courage to do so.
W. K. HODGKIN
One of Holt’s brightest ydung lawyers
and republican candidate for county
attorney.
Morehead Obeyed the Corporations.
Nebraska Progressive: When More
head was in the legislature you could
always tell in advance how be was
going to vote. If there was a wrong
side on any question,—a side favored
by the corporations as against the
people, he was always on the Wrong
side.
, . f
It was men of the Morehead ilk who
tried to kill the initiative and re
ferendum by tacking on amendments.
And they tried to prevent the adop
tion of direot legislation by providing
that straight ballots should not be
counted for constitutional amend
ments.
Morehead.obeyed the corporate in
terests in the legislature, and be
would obey them in the executive
chair, just as Shallenberger did, If he
were elected governor.
Gov. Chester H. Aldrich.
Hamilton County Advocate: Gover
nor Aldrich's administration has been
characterized by the prompt efficient
and thorough way in which the mul
titude of doties devolving upon the
executive of the state have been met
and discharged. The duties of the
chief executive of Nebraska are ardu
ous and exaotlng. The governor’s
office has oharge of fourteen large
state institutions, thirteen of them
directly managed by superintendents
and one by a board of control, all ap
pointed by the chief executive. There
are also nine executive departments,
managed by deputies of the governor’s

office. In addition to this, the gover
nor is a member of eleven state
boards.
The way in which Governor Aidrlch
lias discharged the duties devolving
upon him as a member of these vari
ous boards, as well as the executive
departments over which be ha» direct
control, reflects credit upon his ability
as a business man. He is a keen, logic
al, argumentative public speaker and
a good parlimentarin.
In considering the availability of
Governor Aldrich for a second term,
it is essential to keep In mind the
fact that the experience that he has
aeuqired In the first two years of his
administration is a very valuable as
set to the people of the stete. In
other words, In re-eleoting Governor
Aldrich, the people will be re-elect
ing an experienced public servant in
the line of his duty who has made
good and given the state of Nebraska
a business-like and progressive admin
istration.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
ROOSEVELT A WINNER
The daily newspapers of Nebraska being under the control of
the corporations, are trying to conceal the truth from the people
about the Roosevelt vote. They do* not seriously deny that Roose*
velt will carry nearly all, if not all, of the western Slates. Their
claim is that in the middle and eastern states Roosevelt is weak
These falsehoods are published for the purpose of discouraging
Roosevelt’s friends. For the information of the Roosevelt men in
this county we give herewith some polls taken in the eastern and
middle states.
The Ohio Farm Journal, a nonpartisan paper, took a poll of its
readers, and their answers up to the last issue of the Journal gave
the following results:
Roosevelt.362. Taft.58. Wilson.151.
A poll taken by the lodge officers in the brotherhood of loco
motive engineers at Nashville, Tennessee, is^as follows:
Wilson . 3. Taft.. .0. Debs. . . 1. Roosevelt.. . 208.
A poll was taken of the factories in the city of Jamestown in the
state of New York and here is the result, with the name of each
factory, and the vote, and each reader can verify this poll for him
self by writing to these factories:
Roosevelt Wilson Taft
F. M. Curtis Co.57 s* 4 2
Atlas Furniture No. 1.35 1 4
Atlas Furniture No. 2.28 o 12
Union Furniture Co..7° 1 6
Star Furniture Co.. 25 1 o
Jamestown Window Screen Co..20 1 2
Chautauqua Planing Mill.20 17 8
Jamestown Mantel Co..60 2 4
Ekman Furniture Co...40 3 2
The poll taken of the good roads convention at Peoria, Illinois,
resulted:
Roosevelt.49. Wilson.42. Taft.24.
A poll of a special train carrying visitors to the Pennsylvania
State College gave the following result:
Roosevelt.. 180. Wilson. .121. Taft. .37. Debs. .9.
A poll of the tenants in the Masonic Temple building in Chic
ago, gave:
Roosevelt.81. Wilson.5°- I .2^
A poll of the Illinois Bankers Convention at Peoria, gave
Roosevelt.31. Wilson.40. 1 aft.42
This is the only poll heard of where Taft is in the lead, and Wilson
was close second with him there, as naturally would be with
this class of voters.
A poll is being taken by the railroad employes,officials and their
men in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, and the votes up to date is:
Roosevelt.. 388. Wilson.. 163. Taft.. 96. Debs.. 146.
The poll taken among the farmers at Gaylord, Michigan, in
Otsego county, gives the following result:
Roosevelt. .402. Wilson .. 35. Taft.. 7. Undecided .. 8.
A poll of the Confederate veterans in a recent reunion at Ada,
Oklahoma, gives the following result:
Roosevelt. . 280. Wilson... 6. T. aft... 1. Debs... x.
These polls are not a poll of the politicians, or the bankers, or
the trust officers, or other privileged classes. 1 hey are a poll of
the people, and cover a large area of territory widely separated, and
will give Roosevelt’s friends in the west a pretty clear idea of what
will happen on election day.

Chairman Progressive Central Committee.
