MAUPIN....Democrat □ B. J. MINORT.By Petition I |—1 WHAT MR. BRYAN DID NOT DO Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 17.—Among C. W. Bryan’s extravagant promises is the promise, if elected governor, to reduce the automobile license tax. This, of course, is the same as a pledge to relieve the auto drivers in the cities of the tax that goes to country roads. The auto tax isn’t spent on city pavements. Mr. Bryan’s proposition means that the farmers will pay more for their roads and that the city driver who uses those roads, will pay less. He says that he secured a reduction in the price of gas and electricity, sav ing the people of Lincoln $200,000 per year. What are the facts ? The dollar gas ordinance was passed late in 1906. Mr. Bryan didn’t intro duce it. He didn’t so much as vote on it. He wasn’t in the council. During his entire term as mayor, the dollar ordinance remained on the books. After long years of litigation in fed eral court, the council passed the sliding scale ordinance which is now in effect. Bryan was not in the council when the ordinance was passed. Bi'y an can not truthfully claim either re sponsibility or honor in connection with gas rates. CHARLES H. RANDALL WILL BE ELECTED GOVERNOR NEXT TUESDAY m He has been trusted in his home community for thirty-five years. That |.,ust \vi11 £low as Handell has grown. He has never turned back nor has he billed in any undertaking, no matter how difficult. He has in mind but one determination to serve the people. He is not an orator or a politician. He is thoroughly a man of the people. He knows the problems of all classes of people. He started at the bottom and through his own energy, thrift, indus try and economy won success. Randall startl'd life in Nebraska with a mule tc n, breaking prairie. As a farmer, he fought insect pests, dry weather, blizzards and the many other s. discouragements so familiar to farmer's. Rut he never gave up. He began jus business career in the same way—at the bottom. No person knows better the difficulties the farmer must meet than tin* man whose life experience is that of a farmer and small town banker. Many a fanner .in the Randolph territory today admits that he owes his prosperity to Charles H. Randall’s familiarity with farm problems. IS INDEPENDENT of political groups and THERE are no strings on him. he stands square toed ON EVERY ISSUE. RANDALL SAYS: Never was there greater need for rigid economy than at the present time. I shall demand it,” There can be no return to business conditions that are fundamentally sound until agriculture is restored to a prosperous basis by reinstating the purchasing power of the farmer.” faxes shall be further reduced, but not to the extent of crippling gov ernmental efficiency. Our state university must be adequately supported.” As a member of the board of pardons and paroles I shall favor non interference with the sentences of the courts upon those who violate the laws.” ^1 favor absolute enforcement of the prohibitory law.” I ;iun i11 fjivor of a system of rural credits that will enable the farmer to hold his crops until the market is able to absorb them with profit to the producer.” ‘I believe in the principle of the code law and favor such changes as !low hiund desirable after four years of experience.” Further economy can be practiced in the state’s business and I pledge lm word that I shall see that this is done wherever possible.” ‘I hop? that, whoever is governor, such business methods will be used in building the new capitol that it can never be said that one dollar of graft went into it.” *^DALL makes no impossible promises, his only 5222T0 GIVE T0 THE PEOPLE OF NEBRASKA THE VERY ?S5,Tt5SRVICE 0F which he is capable, his word is good ABILITY AND INTEGRITY have been proven in his ?^?r2IFE AS farmer and country banker over and over AGAIN. w A?va momh('1' the govermnent loan agency created in Nebraska by the War hmance Corporation, Mr. Randall worked four months without pay .C1'eate better financial conditions. This committee approved 000,000 m loans, of which $12,000,000 was actually paid out in Nebraska, ine immediate effect of this was that within seventy days corn increased from twenty to forty-five cents a bushel, other grains went up in proportion the strain was taken off of the banks, many additional bank failures were averted and general business conditions were improved immeasurably. The increased prices for grain alone were sufficient to more than pay off the loans. Vote for Charles H. Randall November 7. _E« B. Perry, Chairman, Republican State Committee In 1915, before Bryan became mayor, the gas company voluntarily returned to the dollar rat§ v'hich re mained in effect for two years. In the final analysis, the court forced the company,to rebate all charges over $1 together with seven per cent interest from 1907 to 1919. When the city and gas company agreed finally upon the settlement in line with the holdings of the court, Mr. Bryan opposed that set tlement. And yet he now comes out with the claim that he was instrumental in se curing a refund of $400,000 to the con sumers. He was, as a matter of fact, the ne stumbling block that threaten ed (o hold up that settlement. 1 ring his term asmayorandduring his present term on the council, he has pl£ pd no part in the affairs of the mun cipal water and light department, i Commissioner “Billy” Schroder, dad dy r the municipal plant, has capably cai l for the public interests. ITr. Bryan says that he saved the pe: >'e of Lincoln $150,000 on their co; i bills last winter. Here is what C. Hudson, Yardmaster appointed las' fall by the man now running for governor on the democratic ticket, says: ‘ I was in charge of the municipal yard from Sept. 22, 1921, to Jan. 13, 1922. For ten days during the coldest weather, there was no coal in the yard. Bryan bought egg coal at twenty-five and fifty cents a ton less than he paid for lump. He sold the egg at the same price and told the con sumers that it cost the same. “F. M. Coffey, prominent in labor circles, ridiculed Bryan several times through the press for lowering the union teamsters scale. Bryan told me that he could run the coal yard without ! Coffey or the union. Later he tried to get me to hire union drivers. He told me this; we want their votes next fall. I couldn’t hire them because he would not (pay the union scale. He did not have a union driver all winder. ,“Hc sold Southern and Central Illi nois coal—never a load of Franklin county. Other dealers were selling the same grade at practically the same price and in some instances, for less. Bryan paid $1.13 more per ton than he should have paid. He says he saved the people $150,000. He didn’t save them a dime. I will give any one a trip to Lincoln and a new suit of clothes who will prove that any of my statements are not true. I am now in the coal business and am selling Cen tral Illinois coal at $10.50. Mr. Bryan is getting $11 for coal from the same district. This coal costs me $8.50 a ton f. o. b. Lincoln. I pay the drivers $1 \per ton!” Last spring, Mr. Hudson, in a sworn statement filed with the city clerk, asked for a thorough investigation of Bryan’s management of the coal yard. GILBERT A-WOOING GOES. Omaha Bee: One of the amusing things in the present campaign is Senator Hitchcock “out courting’ ” the women. Three different times he voted. Each time he voted against the wo men. The last time his vote only, was needed for suffrage, but he voted against it. Now, in fine fettle, with the frost in the crisp Nebraska air and the gol denrods along the road-side, the senator goes out courting, wholesale, the women he spumed. And are his ways winsome? We’ll say they are. Is his voice soft spoken as he wooes ? Not one whit softer than the spring time’s zephyr or the fall flurry, as it blows the rag-weed pollen into the hay-fever victim’s throat. Surely, says Gilbert to himself, you women voters of Nebraska will relent and forgive! It is wonderful to forgive and the senator’s “conversion” to your cause, even if late, is so “sincere.” Besides, “he needs you so.” He really “just can’t live” without you, and he knows it. Do have a heart, women voters of Nebraska. It was “back when the world was voung” that he spurned you. It was three or four years ago and there was no election coming on then. Don’t you realize, women voters of Nebraska, that when the fall flowers came, a candidate like Senator Hitch cock is always more interested in wo men ? It is just the fall flowers themselves that bring the senator his sentimental interes in you. Of course it isn’t because the elect ion this year comes with the fall flowers. Surely, you will not deny the pros trate pentinent your forgiveness. Your womanly traits of forgiveness are well known to the senator and he counts upon them in his hour of trial. Hasn’t he become “converted” to your cause, prohibition, and hasn’t W. J. Bryan, himself, forgiven him “with all his heart,” forgive him for the senator’s own dear sake as well as for W. J. Bryan’s brother, Charley? Surely, thinks Senator Hitchcock, you women voters of Nebraska can emulate the forgiving example of the great Commoner even though you have no brother running as a candidate for governor. Remember, it is “because he needs J you so” on November 7. SAMPLE BALLOT GENERAL ELECTION, NOVEMBER 7, 1922. REFERENDUM ORDERED BY PETITION OF THE PEOPLE H. R. 193. Chapter 302, Session Laws of 1921.
