It is quite evident that Senator
Reveridge's speeches for Congress
man Littleficld had no good effect,
although he passionately declared
the president was the only issue,
but then the Reveridgc style of
spellbinding is hardly a vote getter.
Good for Mr. Bryan! When an
enthusiastic Missouria said to him:
"Mr. Bryan, I hope to see you our
next president, and your wife 'the
first lady of the land." "Thank
you," answered Mr. Bryan with a
laugh; "I may never be president,
but Mrs. Bryan is nlrcady the first
lady in the land."
Coi.n weather is coining on and
you are naturally beginning to
think about woolens for winter
wear. Do you realize that you
could buy from one-fourth to oue
Iialf more woolens of every descrip
tion if it were not for the enormous
ly high tariff tax that is levied on
them? Will the buyers of woolen
oods please tell us wherein the
tariff tax benefits him when he is
buying them? Stop your ears to
the partizan yell of your party aud
do some thinking yourself.
It is unnecessary for the Journal
to say even one word of praise in
behalf of James Stander, the demo
cratic candidate for state senator,
lie is well known in every section
of Cass county is an exemplary
citizen and one of 'the best men
that ever breathed the breath of
life. He isa gentleman well versed
on affairs that interest the people of
the county, and if elected his
constituents can depend upon him
doing everything in his power for
their best interests.
The tariff revisionsts in the re
publican party arc pretty well muz
zled. Tm has leen banished to
Cuba; Cummins is too anxious to
x? elected governor of Iowa to be
loo outspoken on the tariff foster
ing the i ustsl Koss of Massachu
setts wi'l -beaten by trust money
and th.' I.vlgc machine corruption;
cuid so it goes. The republican
voters who do not believe in pro
tecting he trusts and who arc tired
of paying high trust prices, have
the only recourse for relief by vot
ing for de nocratic candidates for
congress. If a few lone tariff re
form republicans are elected, they
would be helpless with Cannon as
speaker nn the committees fixed
again- t -n.'
Whi n you ote for Ceo; ge W. Tin: manner in which the Platts
Snydir for comity coinr.iisioner , mouth ring secured the nomination
you can rest assured of voting for a ( of Root for senator, was not lion
man of business, and a gentleman jorable, to say the least. After eu
who understands the rciuirements j ccuraging I r. Hill to make the race,
of the farmers, lie is not a man j and knowing that he would carry
who will give his direct attention to j Plattsmoutli city and precinct, as
one section of the county to the de -
ti imeiit of another. You can bet
our life on that.
In KVKKY congressional district
the democrats in these closine
weeks of the campaign are feeling
the pressure of the. mighty efforts
put tortli by the republicans to
lect their candidates for the house
of representatives. Republican
leaders are alarmed by the reports
they receive from the country at
large. They fear a serious reaction
in states usually safely republican
and ore putting forth strenuous
efforts to hold in democratic states
the ground they gained in "1904
through democratic indifference.
The republican candidates are
scouring the county for votes, but
in our opinion they will find it an
uphill business especially for their
legislative ticket. The candidates
for representative have nothing es
pecially to commend them tovoters
while everyone knows that their
candidate for senator was a party
to the scheme concocted by tht
Plattsmoutli ring to down Dr.
Hall so shamefully in their county
convention. And this, too, after
Dr. Hall had carried the city, in
which both aspirants reside unani
mously. The democrats of Cass county
have been fortunate in winning the
consent of three of their best men
to stand as candidates for represent
atives in the legislature. . It is in
deed a rare occasion when any po
litical party is able to present to the
voters of Cass county three candi
dates for representative on a par
with these three gentlemen. The
Journal asserts that three better
men for the place could not be pro
cured in all the county than Dr.
Jester, of Kagle; L. F. Langhorsc,
of KImwood.and Frank M. Massie,
of Mt. Pleasant precinct. We ask
the voters to make fair comparison
between these splendid men aud
those who have been nominated by
the opposition. We are not throw
ing any clubs at the republican
nominees. We are simply insisting
that the three democratic nominees
are tr.eu capable of doing the right
thing as members of the legislature,
and that the character of each one
is such as to give assurance tint
whatever thev do as members of
that body will be in the interest
of the whole people, and with an
single eye to the welfare of the tax
payers iu general.
The Lincoln Journal is still fir
ing its abusive shots at A. C. Shal-
lenberger, in its struggle to keep
from paying back into the state
treasury the $55,000 it filched from
the taxpayers of Nebraska. All
that will save the Journal from re
turning its ill-gotten gains will be
the election of George Sheldon and
Buster" Brown. The latter, as
attorney general, has let this mat
ter go by default so far simply be
cause he is a candidate for U. S.
senator and cannot afford to an
tagonize that paper and its com
bine at this time. He is shirking
his duty as attorney for the tax
payers of Nebraska the same as he
has done in all matters in which
corporations are interested. "Bus
ter" is a beautiful reformer,
without disguise. While the
matter of accepting railroad
favors is purely between the
road and the recipient of those
favor the man xvlm 1,:,, W
tavors, the man who has heen
bribed by a pass has no right to
pose as a friend of the people in a
contest in which the people are
asking relief from railroad oppres
sion. Ho has no right now to
come out as a friend of the farmers
who complain of being overtaxed
by the railroads through a system
of freight charges, and assume that
he will, if elected, favor legislation
favorable to the farmers and against
the roads.
Dr. Ehier, Denth,

: against Root, the ring slipped over
the county veryquietly and "fixed"
, enouuh of the countrv delegates tn
nominate the ring candidate on first
ballot. It was a put ur iob to de
feat Dr. Hall, and we wonder if the
honest republicans will quietly sub
mit to such dishonorable actions' o
the ring. The same method was
pursued iu the nomination of Mar
tin L. Frederich. as aoainst Tlillv
Weber, for county commissioner.
The way to punish the ring for its
dishonest methods is to vote for
James Stander, for senator, and
George W Snyder, for commission
er. They are honorable, upright
and men who can be relied upon to
do their respective duties to the
whole people. They do not owe
their nominations to a half dozen
men, under whose directions they
would be guided, if elected
The voters of Cass county know
D. O. Dwyer, and that is the reas
on why they propose to elect him
county attorney. They know he
is a man that cannot be influenced
into doing something that he be
heves to be wrong. He is a man
who will do his duty irrespective of
party or creed. He is made of just
the kind of material to make a good
county attorney.
A. 'C. Shauenbrrger, candi
date for governor, has issued the
following challenge to Candidate
Sheldon:
I WILL AG RUE TO RE
TIRE FROM THE RACE
FOR GOVERNOR IF I
HAVE USED A RAILROAD
PASS SINCE MR. SHEL
DON USED ONE, PROVI
DED HE WILL AGREE TO
WITHDRAW IF IT BE
SHOWN THAT HE HAS
USED A PASS SINCE I
HAVE.
Sheldon has refused to accept the
challenge.
The following is taken from the
Iloldrege Trogress, a populist pa
per published in the county adjoin
ing that of the home of Hon. A. C.
Shallenbergcr, democratic nominee
for governor: "The allegation that
Mr. Shalleiiberger, the populist
and democratic candidate for gover
nor, is a railroad man and that he
is being supported by the railroad
interests is one of the best jokes of
the campaign. Mr. Shalleiiberger
has always, as everybody knows,
been an anti-monopolist and has
been against the railroad crowd
whenever they have been imposing
upon the people's rights.'
The democratic ticket, taken in
its entirety, is the equal, if not the
best, presented to the voters of Cass
county in many years. Every can
didate on the ticket is particularly
fitted for the places for which they
have been nominated. No apology
is needed for any one of them.
Their lives are as open books to be
read by all who desire to know the
truth. And if the truth shall not
prevail, then there is no use of
nominating cleau men like James
Stander, L. F. Langhorst, Frank
fMassie, Dr. Jester, D. O. Dwyer
and George W. Snyder.
Ik you have a man in charge of
your business and through his man
agement he is running yon behind
and in debt by his every act, what
would you do in order to save your-
SCU: r,re,um' 01 coursc- Nw.
"s Voter, you should not lose sight
of this fact of mismanagement, that
every year the republicans have
been in power in this state during
the past six years, the state debt
has been increased. On the other
hand, every year the lusionists
were in power the state debt was de
creased. Which set of men do you
feel like employing? Another fact
the republicans have increased state
taxation by the new revenue law at
least 25 per cent and arc still run
ning the state in debt. These are
important questions for the voters
to think about and investigate be
fore they go to the polls to vote.
DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING!
Hon. A. C. Sliallenlarger, demo
cratic candidate fur fuvernor, will ad
dross Hie people f Lm county at
1'nloii, Nebraska, on
Saturday. October 20, 1906,
at 1 o'clock p. ni., and at t tie I'arnule
theatre In 1'lattsmouth, at 7:.".0 p. ni.,
the same evening. Everyone who de
sires to hear the issues ably discussed
should avail themselves of this oppor
tunily to hear one of the ablest and
most brilliant orators In Nebraska.
Everyone Is cordially Invited to come
out to thcic meetings and hear the
man who should be the next governor
of Nebraska.
Hoi Do Yoo Stand?
Do you believe railroad passen
ger rates ought to be reduced to
two cents per mile?
Do you believe railroad freight
rates .are - two mga aa-1 : a more
graduated and equitable rate should
be brought about in Nehraska?
Do you believe the assessment o
property should be made by asses
sors elected by the voters and tax
payers in the various precincts.
uo you believe the anti-pass
law should be enacted and enforced
by an anti-pas3 governor?
Do you believe the new railroad
commission should be given power
to fix rates and compel our rail
roads to pay their just proportion
of taxes?
If you do, there is only one way
to express your desires. That is for
the people of Cass county to work
and vote for the election of A. C.
Shallenberger, and for the election
of James Stander for state senator
and L. F. Langhorst, F. M. Massie
and Dr. C. W. Jester for repre
senatives.
These men are all in favor o
such laws being enacted by our
next legislature. It is throwing
your vote away, unless you vote
for these gentlemen, in case you
are in favor of these reform mea
sures which would mean much to
the farmers and taxpayers of this
county.
If you are satisfied with promises.
you should then vote for the re
publican candidates.
To offer you proof of the above
assertion we will simply point you
to the fact that the republicans
have been in control cf state affairs
for the past six years and during
that time they have done nothing
for the relief of the people and they
themselves admit they have sud
denly arrived at the conclusion that
the republican party needs reform
ing.'
We believe the best way for vou
to bring about this reformation and
relief for the people is through the
election of Shallenberger and the
entire democratic ticket, both state
and county.
Doesn't it look to you as if there
isn't something pretty rotten when
the republicans, as a party, will ad
mit they need reformation and then
have the gall to ask people to re
elect to office a large portion of the
same old gang that have been in
control of our state affairs?
Be careful how you vote.
Which One?
Shallenberger says he will.
if
elected, sign a bill to reduce pass
enger rates to two cents per mile?
Sheldon makes no such promise.
Shallenberger says that he will, if
elected, try to cause the Nehraska
maximum freight rate law to be en
forced. Geo. Sheldon says the maximum
freight rate cannot be enforced.
Shallenberger says he will, if
elected, sign a law to restore the
election of township assessors to
the people.
Sheldon refuses to make such a
promise.
Shallenberger says that in his ca
pacity as governor he will not per
mit any state employe to serve as
manager of a political committee,
and that he will promptly discharge
any state employe who shall accept
a railroad pass.
Sheldon refuses to make any such
promise.
Which one of these men will it
be safe to trust as chief officer of
the state Shallenberger, who tells
the people just what he will do or
Sheldon, who refuses to take the
people into his confidence?
If You Believe.
If you believe Candidate Sheldon
is telling the truth when he says
the republican state officials have
ken robbing the masses of the peo
ple for the benefit of the railroads
in the matter of taxation
If you believe Candidate Sheldon
is telling the truth when he says
that the railroad political agents
have controlled every republican
legislature' in racent years
If you believe that Candidate
Sheldou is telling the truth when
he says .that all the great public
service corporations have been
handling public officials in Nebraska
as a cat handles a mouse
If you believe Candidate Sheldon
is telling the truth about these
things, then should you not be
believe that it will be a dangerous
proposition to elect any more re
publican, state officials in Nebraska
just now?
