KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE!
The democratic politicians refused
to submit the proposition to any one
or three of the following named demo
crats: James Walker, (leorue Snyder,
A. C. Loder, A. S. Will, I). O. Dwyer,
James M. Stone, Dr. J. II. llungate,
II. I. Travis, Thomas Murtey, N. II.
Meeker, Judge B. S. Ilamsey, James
Slander, Kd Carr, Judge M. Archer,
I. O.Todd, J. II. Meislnger, Charles
(aebel, Theodore lleim. News.
It will t remembered that not many
days since the Plattsmouth livening
News did submit tjie aljove proposi
tion. The democratic chairman, II.
II. Coring, and other leading demo
crats did not think this by any means a
fair proposition, in the fact that all
the names the News mentions are dem
ocrats, and their investigation would
not result satisfactory to the republi
can side of the house.
The democrats then submitted the
followjng proposition, which upon its
face would seem fair in the minds of
all level-headed citizens: That a com
mittee, consiting of Ex-Sheriffs Andy
Taylor, Iiube Uyersand W. I). Wheel
er and County Attorney Jesse L. Root
be ageed upon as a committee to inves
tigate the charges against Sheriff Mc
Iiride. Here arc three republicans and
one democrat, and this proposition is
refused by the News editor.
Then, when libel proceedings were
began against the editor of the News,
he comes to the front with the "bluff"
that an extra term of court be called
as soon as possible and the matter set
tled before election. This proposition
was called, with the additional propos
ition that the loser in the case pay all
expenses i ncur red by said suit WITII
OUT ONE CENT OF COSTS TO
TIIETAXPAYERSOFCASS COUN
TY! This proposition was also refus
ed by the man who pretends to guide
the destiny of the News, and one who
just at present pretends TO HAVE
SO MUCH INTEREST IN THE
TAXPAYERS OF CASS COUNTY!
On a failure of getting the editor of
the News to accept either of the above
propositions, Mr. Gering returns to
him with his first original proposi
tion, as printed above, and submitted
the names of George Snyder, James M.
Stone and James A. Walker. And
this proposition has also been spurned
by a man who does not seem to want
to do the fair thing and the last one
his first "great bluff," at that.
HIS RECORD AS "BLUFFER" IS
A WORLD-BEATER, but will not
stand washing.
The attorney who is instrumental
in prefering charges against Sheriff
McBride states publicly "that it is a
personal matter so far as he is concern
ed." Could it not also be a personal
matter with the News? We know it is
a selfish matter with the editor of that
paper, and the honest voters of the
county look at it in the same light.
Why he is so selfish that he even grits
his teeth all night with rage every time
lie sees, a legal notice in any of the Cass
county papers outside of Plattsmouth,
and is now engaged in an effort to ar
range affairs at the court house so that
he can secure the "whole cheese" and
henceforth rest bis selfish mind In
peace, if such a thing be possible.
For years the bankers have been
telling us that the national banking
system was the best ever devised, and
to let it alone but they, themselves,
are trying to change it to an "asset"
system, which will be "next door" to
the old wild cat system. Even if all
they have said of "cheap silver" were
true, which it is not. It would be Infin
itely better than "asset" bank
currency. ,

Lahor produces ail wealth, but the
sharks get the most of it. The man
who intimates that the creator of the
wealth should have it, or at least the
most of it, is an "anarchist," in the
minds of those who never earned an
honest dollar in their lives.
We were told some time ago that
President Roosevelt was going to
smasli the trusts. But we have heard
of no trust smashing. Have you? It
seems that our strenuous president
has come to the conclusion that the
trusts are a good thing for the g. o.
p. boodle bar'l.
Suppose the Journal should publish
the real cause of the "attorney in the
case" for fighting Mr. McBride? Is he
willing? He says it is a personal mat
ter, and the Journal claims it is due the
voters of Cass county that they should
know the character of the men who
are fighting him, and their sole cause
for so doing.

News.
In the opinion of a large number of
the voters the editor of the News
stands branded as a base falsifier until
he names the "leading democrat" who
made any such remarks.
The Journal is perfectly willing to
take the candidates on each ticket
from top to bottom, and let the voters
of Cass county use their own judgment
as to which are the best men for the
respective positions. The voters of
Cass arc an intelligent class of people,
and if no undue advantage is taken by
the oppostion we are not at all fearful
of the general result.
Some of our republican exchanges
are cackling about our increasing ex
ports. None of them, however, have
explained why this country should fear
"pauper-made" products of the old
world if our manufacturers export
goods, pay the freight and ocean insur
ance, and still undersell the "paupers"
right on their own ground. Will some
of our dearly beloved brethren please
cease cackling long enoough to let in a
little light on this rather dark subject?
The democrats of Cass county made
a very excellent choice when they re
nominated Clifton S. Wortman to suc
ceed himself ascounty superintendent
Mr. Wortman is a young man of bril
liant parts and we hear nothing but
the best reports from his work since
his incumbency in the office in March
last. Many republicans, recognizing
his worth, will support him, regardless
of party lines, it not being a political
office. Ashland Gazette (republican. )
There are several reasons why Un
cle Jacob Tritsch should be elected,
the principal one being that lie is one
of the yeomenry of Cass county. A
county commissioner should be in a po
sition to know the desires of the farm
er element, and if Mr. Tritsch is not
the man to till the bill, we don't know in
which direction to look to find him.
Make up your minds to support him.
You know as well as we do that he is
the proper man for the place.
The voters of Cass county will make
no mistake in supporting II. M. Soen
niclisen for county clerk. Mr. Soen
nichsen is one of the best qualified
men in the county, and to know him is
but to admire him for his many excel
lent traits of character. He is a gen
tleman in every sense of the term, and
the people will find him just the same
every day in theyear. A vote for Mr.
Soenniclisen is a vote to place the right
man in the right place. He will make
a county clerk in whom the people can
place the utmost confidence, and he
should receive the support of every vo
ter who desires to see the office in the
hands of a most competent official and
clever gentleman.
TnE courts have come to be the chief
factor In our government. To have
just judges is really of greater moment
than to have a good president or hon
est legislature. To have a judge who
has been tried and found to measure
up to all requirements of perfection is
to every man in the state an element
of good fortune. Having such a judge
in John J. Sullivan why should any
man vote to remove hi m and put in his
stead a man who has been known only
as a railroad attorney? Why should
we not exercise the same sense in vot
ing that we do In a private bargain?
There is no reason why, and we believe
a large majority will so decide on elec
tion day.
Nine per cent of the families
of the United States own 71 per
cent of the wealth of the country,
while the remaining 91 per cent of the
families own but 29 per cent of the
wealth of the country. This is not a
democratic lie, but a truth gathered
from the census reports. The concen
tration of wealth in this country bodes
no good to the republic. Prosperity
for the very few is not prosperity for
the masses. The few are reaping
off the labor of the many, and the
privileges of capital are regarded by
many as more sacred than the rights
of the many. A subsidized press howls
"demagogue" at those who stand
up for the rights of the masses as
against the privileges of the few, ,
How Ungrateful!
The News seems to be somewhat en
raged because the democrats saw fit to
endorse Judge J esse n at their district
convention in Nebraska City and
sets up a great howl, and tries to
make it appear that it was done to en
hance the interests of Judge Sullivan.
The Journal is not in the least surpris
ed at the ungratefulness of the News
man, as this is one of his chief charac
teristics. Liberality is an unknown
quality with him in everything to
which the word applies, and it evident
ly makes him froth at the mouth to
see the least spark of liberalitydis
played, no matter by whom or in what
soever manner. Now just listen to his
"litttle tale of woe" on account of this
action of the democrats:
"Political partiesarcnotinthe habjt
of indorsing candidates which are not
of their own faith. No matter how
pure and just or bow excellent their
record, if they think there is a ghost
of a show to elect their own man they
put him up. There is no dissatisfac
tion with the official career of Judge
lessen, but the resolution adopted by
the democratic judicial convention
plainly shows that their interest was
centered in the candidacy of Judge Sul
livan, and that it would be a grand
stand play in his interest, and possibly
in the interest of others, for them to
endorse Mr. Jessen. We venture the
proposition that their action was
meant to be one hundred points in their
own selfish interests to one for the sake
of a "non-partisan judiciary."
The presumption on the part of the
News man "that it would be a grand
stand play" in any one particular in
terest, shows in what direction his
mind drifts, and when it comes to
"selfish interests," no one could possi
bly display more of this than he and
the balance of the Plattsmouth repub
lican did in their manipulation of the
"reins" that landed the ring candi
dates at the Weeping Water conven
tion. To show to the readers of the Jour
nal that the endorsement of Judge Jes
sen by the democrats of Cass county
has been contemplated for some time
the writer desires to state that early
in the spring he took the pains to in
terview the democratic attorneys of
Plattsmouth and a large number of
democratic farmers of the county, and
in nearly every instance they expressed
themselves favorable to the endorse
ment of Judge Jessen for re-election.
These interviews brought forth the
following, which appeared in the Jour
nal of June 18:
"So far as the democrats of Cass
county are concerned, the Journal does
not believe they will even favor any
opposition to Judge Jessen," simply
from the fact that he has proven him
self a capable, conscientious and im
partial official. While this is true in
Judge Jessen 's case, the same will also
hold good in the case of Judge Sullivan
on the supreme bench . Both men have
proved themsevesmen who will notpo
lute the sacred judiciary by giving un
just decisions in favor of any party or
corporation, if they do not think they
are right. These are the sort of men
to have on the bench, and as both have
given such general satisfaction in their
respective positions, the Journal be
lieves the people will show their good
judgment by retaining both. The ju
diciary and politics mixed will not
work together successfully."
Thus it will be seen that the Smart
Aleck who is at present doing editorial
work on the News has been caught up
in another one of his "cock and bull"
stories, which has proved about as thin
as the "professed" editor.
Joe Tighe, candidate for clerk of the
district court, has hosts of friends in
every section of Cass county. He is a
gentleman in every sense of the term,
and eminently well qualified for the
position. He is a candidate for the of
fice because he wants it. Unlike his
opponent, he didn't say previous to the
con vention,"I will take the nomination
if no one else wants it," and go in and
defeat the only pronounced candidate
for the republican nomination. Mr.
Tighe is one of the best men in the
county, and should be elected on his
merits.
The people who know Jake Falter
recognize the peculiar fitness in his
nomination for the office of county as
sessor. No one in the county is better
qualified to fill that office so far as good,
sound jugdment goes, and no one would
bring to the office a more conscientious
determination to fulfill its duties with
out fear or favor. . Mr. Falter's long
experience on the board of county com
missioners especially qualifies him for
the important position of county as
sessor. A vote for Jacob Tritsch is a vote
for a man for county commission who
will have the interests of the taxpayers
at heart, and in every respect will prove
the "light man in the right place."
"Uncle Jake" is one . of the common
people, and numbered among the hard
toiling yeomenry of the county, and has
been in a position all his life to know
the wants of the whole people much
better than his opponent.
The voters of Cass county do not
want to take too much stock in the
"daily bluffs" of the News until they
know all the true facts in the cases.
The "greedy gut" editor of the News
is after the printing patronage of the
sheriff's office, and the level-headed
voters of the county are opening their
eyes to the sole cause of these unwar
ranted attacks upon Sheriff McBride.
IT REFUSES TO SUPPORT BARNES.
Columbus Times Dcclores That There
Is No Reason Why Chief Justice
Sullivan Should Be Defeated.
(ColutiitiuM Tluics. rvpuhllcmi.)
Some hide-bound partisans have
ventured to criticise the Times for de
claring in favor of Judge Sullivan.
They seem to think that it is the busi
ness of a newspaper to servilely
applaud whatever the party in con
vention with whom the editor Individ
ually affiiates in its wisdom or folly
may seem fit to do. But the Times
has never been a yellow dog journal.
It has always maintained its own self
respect and it has tried to show a
decent respect or the intelligence of
its readers. Why shouldn't we support
Judge Sullivan? He was six years on
the bench of this district and has been
almost six years on the supreme bench.
Nothing is alleged against him and
nothing is brought forward in especial
favor of his opponent.' Every lawyer
in this district, whatever maybe his
politics, will promptly allow that the
district never had a better judge; and
it is justly as freely conceded all around
that the state never had a more satis
factory judge of the supreme court.
Why then, in the sacred name of
common sense, should we advocate a
change in the membership of the
highest court? No reason has been
given except that Judge Barnes is a
good republican. We do not question
his republicanism, but we do seriously
question the wisdom of republican
politicians whoare trying to put him on
the bench. If the attempt is success
ful it will, in our humble judgment, be
a bad thing for the state and a worse
thing for the republican party. You
can't under the most favorable con
ditions, fool the people very long; and
it is a purblind policy that contem
plates fooling them at all. Judge
Sullivan was twice elected judge of
thisdistrict by republican votes. Wnen
he was a candidate for supreme judge
700 republicans in this district laid
politics aside and gave him their sup
port. These republicans did not make
any mistake and they know it. They
are intelligent and an appeal to them
to "vote 'er straight" because Judge
Barnes is a good,, loyal republican
would be as futile as it would be fool
ish. When it comes to electing judges
there is, after all, a good deal of sanity
in politics; and the sooner the poli
ticians come to recognize this fact
the better it will be for them. In
advocating the election of Judge
Sullivan we doing precisely what the
most influential republican paper in
this district did when the judge was a
candidate for the district bench. What
the Fremont Tribune did twelve years
ago the Times may certainly do now
without giving any one cause for
questioning its editor's devotion to
republican principles.
That Libel Suit.
According to newspaper parlance the
success of the Plattsmouth News is
now assured the editor has been sued
for libel. Sheriff McBride has begun
suit in the district court against the
editor of the News for $10,000 for the
publication of an article in the News
of Saturday, September 12, charging
the sheriff with making illegal charges
for mileage, etc., in capturing a crim
inal by the name of William Shepard.
The sheriff addressed a letter to the
News asking the editor to retract.
This was not done and the suit fol
lowed. Politics! That explains the whole
thing, unless we call it by its proper
name mud slinging. The mud mills
of Cass county have outlived their use
fulness. The Courier believes that the
voters of Cass county are too intelli
gent to be influenced by a newspaper
that will indulge in this kind of cam
paigning. The Courier will use every
honorable means within its power for
the election of Carl Quinton for sheriff,
being confident that he is not a party
to the plot to injure Mr. McBride's
character.
The Courier will not believe that
McBride has made illegal charges with
out further evidence than has been re
ceived up to time of going to press
Our reason: McBride's friends sug
gested that a committee consisting of
Andy Taylor, Rube Hyers, W. D.
Wheeler, all ex-sheriffs, and County
Attorney Jesse L. Root be selected to
investigate the books of the sheriff's
office and that their decision be accept
ed as final. Chairman Schneider of the
republican county central committee
refused to accept this committee and
the suit followed. County Attorney
Root audits and passes on every cost
bill that comes before the county com
missioners and the Courier has expli
cate confidence in his judgment and as
for honesty the people of Cass county
will swear by him. That is why the
Courier has little faith in the charges
made by the News that the sheriff has
been guilty of padding his accounts
with the county.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Cour
ier will be found a copy of the letter
addressed to Mr. Farley by Sheriff
McBride which he refused to publish,
together with a copy of the cost bill
which is in controversy. Louisville
Courier. '
President Roosevelt's remedy
for the trusts and combines is "pub
licity," but it is the democratic papers
that are giving them "publicity."
The republican papers have nothing
to say unless it be to denounce as
"anarchists" all who dare criticise the
doings of the "captains of industry".
The mud mill has started down at
Plattsmouth. But then when a ma
chine is manipulated by a gang of
pirates who have axes to grind what
more can we expect? Louisville Court

The Journal has refrained from say
ing as much as ought to lie said in be
half of the candidacy of Harvey D.
Travis from the simple fact that he
Is no well known in every section of
Cass county. He is known for his
many excellent qualities, combined
with his well known legal abilities, and
will fill the office of county Judge, asit
should be filled, with grace, dignity,
honor and ability. For all these ex
cellent traits of character, the Journal
confidently relies upon the good judg
ment of the voters of the county to
elect him to a position that should lc
filled by a lirst-class lawyer.
The Plattsmouth republican ring are
now engaged in an effort to read Jesse
L. Root, county attorney, Lee J. May
field, editor of the Louisville Courier,
and all other republicans who do not
endorse their dastardly attempt to
blacken the character of Sheriff Mc
Bride, out of the party. Won't they
have a lovely time in doing so? These
gentlemen are republicans from prin
cipal, and are opposed to the methods
adopted by the ring, In carrying out
a program in the interestsof the selfish
editor of the News. This is what
hurts the little gang. .
