Ix>cal democratic leaders are disap pointed over the address of Unite! States Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcocl at the K. C. hall last Saturday nigh and also over the comparatively smal attendance to hear the distinguishei gentleman from Omaha. Senato Hitchcock is one of the several candi dates for the democratic nominatioi for senator this vear and because o his failure to vote as a senator o, many of the important question pending and decided during his in cumbency, his unalterable and offen sive opposition to woman suffrage, hi indifference to the cause of the op pressed Irish people and his neglec of the agricultural interests of his con stituency, is apt to be defeated for th nomination at the primary by a candi date of the agricultural and allied in terests. His audience Saturday even ing just comfortably filled the K. t hall, but there were plenty of seat vacated during the entire evening am more became vacant during th course of the address as several rock ribbed democrats became sleepy am yawning departed for home. Th scarcity of women in the audience wa very noticable and much commente upon, being attributed to the senator’ anti-suffrage record. Senator Hitchcock was introduce by Judge J. J. Harrington, who whe he arose to call the meeting to orde spied, through the open doors, . number standing on the sidewalk i front of the hall. The judge urge them to come in and then introduce the senator. Senator Hitchcock i his opening remarks thanked the pec pie for permitting him to serve in the United States senate during this history making epoch and stated that he would confine his remarks to na tional issues for the coming campaign, which he declared as yet were not clearly defined. About the only state issue, he said, was a reduction of taxes and public expenditures. Then he 1 referred to the republican majority of 1 more than seven million in the last presidential campaign, saying that it • needed no explanation, but that a lit 1 tie discussion would do no harm. He 1 neglected ta discuss the election how ' ever, but at once entered upon a - tariff talk as a pronounced opponent ; of the pending tariff bill. He blamed ; present conditions on the republican tariff, which he said hasn’t yet been ’ passed and declared that a number of the high schedules were for the ex press purpose of raising the price of , commodities to the consumer. He ’ illustrated this contention by saying that the United States is the largest : producer of wood alcohol and inks in | the world, and that the importation ■ cf inks into this country amounted to less than $30,000 annually. A high tariff on inks and wood alcohol was I . .. . .1 1.* 1 „ 4. 1.. 1L . 1_ ' producers of these feared foreign ' competition, but to enable them to ’ raise the prices of the commodities t with the Assurance that foreign com | petition would be impossible. Then, 5 taking up wheat, the senator told how ■ the United .States was the largest ■ grower of wheat and that it was the 1 leading exporter of the grain. It had ■ nothing to fear from foreign exports 1 of wheat ho insisted and consequently " the high tariff the republicans pro ! posed placing on wheat would not ■ raise the price of wheat the American ' farmer had to sell a single cent. The ■ wheat schedule, he insisted, was but a • bill of buncombe intended to fool the ! agricultural interests. As a logician 1 the senator did not attempt to explain s how with identical conditions a high j tariff would raise the price of wood j alcohol and ink and depress the price } of wheat. The senator did give a very * interesting review of his international 1 bank project for the improvement of 1 conditions, this part of the address be ing from a non-political standpoint, 1 but the other portions of the talk were 1 dry, uninteresting and not convincing r even to the most ardent democrat/ and 1 there was nothing in the talk to alarm | a republican or enthuse the most opto I mistic democrat. It is no exaggera i tion to state that a number of good - democrat actually went to sleep during --==■■■— ■ - j ||| - the talk. When the senator concluded Thomas Latinigan of Greeley county, butted into the meeting. Mr. Lannigan, who is a candidate for the democratic nomination for congress from the Sixth district, drove up from home with the sheriff of Greeley county and on promise to only say a few words was introduced by Judge Harrington. While Mr. Lannigan didn’t say much he talked loud, said Holt county was a nice county and its people good scouts, told one or two witty stories and awoke those in the audience who had been slumbering. This is the second meeting for Senator Hitch cock that Mr. Lannigan has horned in on and it kept the senator’s friends busy after the meeting explaining that Mr. Lannigan’s presence Is not to be taken by any others who might want to run for congress as democrats, as an indication that the Hitchcock machine is behind the Greeley county man. County Surveyor M. F. Norton Thursday completed his filings as a candidate on both the republican and democratic tickets for the nomination for county surveyor. A regular cyclone passed north of O’Neill last Thursday afternoon de molishing the bam and other out buildings on the F. J. Dishner farm six miles northeast of town. The buildings on the Mike Paul Sullivan place were also wrecked with the ex ception of the house. A boy at the former place was cut by glass from a broken window but was not seriously wounded. The storm seem ed to disappear after leaving the Sul livan place. The outbuildings on the Martin Stanton farm were also badly damaged by the same storm. Fight fans of northern Nebraska are going to see one of the greatest fist feasts ever staged in this part of the country next Wednesday night, when Jerrv Vokae. the fieditinfe Rohe rruan from Verdigre, will attempt to knock the block off Andy Schmader of Louisville, while Mr. Schmader is busily engaged in attempting to massacre Mr. Vokac. It will be a real scrumptuous affair as both men are heavyweights and very heavy hitters nnd neither has a very friendly feeling toward the other. Jerry, who is the heavy weight champion of Nebraska because no other heayy weight has yet been able to prove that he isn’t, needs no introduction to lovers of the boxing game in this community. He is a real one. Schmader is known as one of the fastest and most furious heavyweight boxers in the central west, and the bout will be full of action from the sound of the first gong until the clang of the signal for the close of the tenth if the time keeper doesn’t have to clang it sooner because of the laying away of one of the two contestants. Before the main affair Pete Deitrich of At kinson, who so unmercifully laced Bird Head, the Knox county Indian at the last boxing exhibition, will stage a six round preliminary with Leon Devereaux of north Grattan. Both of these men are middle-weights and are very fast. The combination card will be the most thrilling one ever witnessed in O’Neill and the ad vance sale of seats over at Reardon’s drug store already is exceedingly heavy, reservations having been made from Norfolk to Chadron. Most of Knox county is coming over to watch Jerry defend his title and possibly annihilate the contender. BAND CONCERT.
