E-very one of hi meetings in this county has been largely attended and his speeches have been thoroughly appreciated The largest steel firm in England contemplates moving to America Their obj"ect is to get into American markets. The erection of this plan means the employment of 3,500 men Do NOT forget to do a little extra work for Captain Bennett. He has a large fusion majority to overcome, but if the boys will but put their shoulder to the wheel he will be elected. Ha is doing his part to win. 'IF YOU are in favor of continuing the present excellent administration of President McKinley vote for tho re publican candidates for the state legis lature. . They will support men for the United States senate who will work with the president instead of against him. The News calls special attention to the law governing the granting of par ' dons by the governor, which appears in another column. Had our present executive obeyed said law, notice of 'his intention to pardon Benwell would have been printed in some paper in Cass county. County Attokney Hoot has saved the county hundreds of dollars by se curing sufficient evidence against crim inals so that they will plead guilty. There have been ten or twelve in stances of this kind during Mr. Root's term, the county having been saved ' the expense of trials. TERUY, S. D., gave McKinley six votes in 1890. This year it has a Mc Kinley and Roosevelt club of 150 mem bers. Say what you will, the Amer ican people will not staud by a false prophet. Tho country is proud of the McKinley administration and will give it a most hearty endorsement. ONE of Omaha's business men who attended tho recent meeting of tho , grand lodge of Nebratka Odd Fellowe at York, reported to the Boe that or ' tho 400 delegates present, not a fcinglo ono wasfor Bryan. What. Tew demo crats there wore present signified thoir intention of voting for McKinley. OUTSIDE of the B. & M. railroad W. II. Newell, 83 a member of tho firm of S. IL Atwood & Co.,has employed more ' labor than any other individual or firm In Cass county, and always at the best possible wages. And it is safe to say that no man deals more fairly with his men or is more popular with thern than Is Judge Newell, and if he is elected they will have a staunch frien i In tho state senate. n IT r nt in WILL VOTE FOR M'KI-Vl'KY. Doa M. Dickinson, who ras po&U m ister general under President Cleve land, announces his intention of voting for McKinley. lie first thought he could conscientiously stay away from the polls, but thinks it would bo lalse to his country and false to his party "to take to the woods." He eays: "Mr. Bryan is preaching the gospel of hate. Voicing that, he appeals to the envious, the discontented, the im provident, the incompetent and un worthy idle. When a man fails and becomes despondent ho does not seek to inspire him with American spirit of pereeverence; he does not ap peal to him to be up and doing and to try ag un, but he tells him to stop try ing, and that the remedy is to pull down the raoro puccoesful. Let no democrat be influenced by false re ports n 6 to the attitude in this crisis of any man whom we have trusted, who, pointing to his record to ppeak for him now,may deem it unnecessary to speak again. "We should never lose faith In the stability of tbe works of God least of all in ttie noblest of them an honest man. "I t-vke my place proudly by the aide of Abram S. Hewitt, under whom I fought in the great battle for Tilden and democracy in 1876. 'Wiiting in confidence the call of men like nim to gather for the re organization of my party, like him I conceive it to be my solemn duty to vote against Bryanizing the demo cratic part and to rid the party and country of Bryanism; and so, like him. in the ranks of the true democracy. I shall go to the polls and cast my ballot for President Mckinley." Congressman Bukkett has proven himself one of the most active workers in congress. lie gives his personal at tention to all matters. He is always present when congress is in session. He has secured free rural delivery mail routes in a large part of the dis trict and government inspectors are now at work on new routes. To show the way ho attends to business, the record of pensions he ha9 procured, may bo instanced. lie has secured by his personal attention the allowance of 425 pension claims and $25,000 back pay and has five more cases he is push LAW GOVERNING THE ISSUANCE OF PARDONS The law regarding" release of convicts is as follows: The governor shall have power to grant re prieves, commutations and pardons, after conviction, for all offenses except treason, and to remit fines and forfeitures upon such conditions and limita tions as he may think proper, subject to the regula tions prescribed in this chapter.

He was successful in getting thirty of these pensions for old soldiers who had been dropped from the rolls and thirty-eight of these j claims had been pending for over Gve years before Mr. Burkett went to con gress. Every letter to him receives an answer, and, with all the careful, successful hard work in' smaller de tail?, he is recognizid publicly by men like Senator Dolliver and Speaker Henderson as one of the coming lead ing members of the house on account of his powers of oratory. Such men kept in congress will give INebraska a rank at Washington with states like fowa and Maine. REruiiLiCANS, democrats, populists (or whatever may be your title) get on your working clothes and go to tho polls on November 6 and vote the straight republican ticket. That will insure victory for one of the best men that has occupied the presidential chair since it was vacated by that wisest of wise men, Abraham Lincoln. William McKinley is a statesman, a soldier, a diplomat triDd in office,and well broken to harness. .. None can bet ter servo the people the whole people of the United States, and we must have him as our sorvant yet our hon ored chief magistrate for four years more. "Whether we want the Philippines or not, and whether we ought to have them or not, that we have got them is something that cannot be denied!" So says Richard Olney. The islands were thrust upon us by the fortunes of war, and even if they are burdensome we must hold them. But now, as many times before, it seems as if ample profit and reward will come to us from that which we took up Bolely as a burden and duty.
