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.
