Their characters will com pare most favorably with the very best citizens of Cass county, and will bear the very closest inspection of the voters. Whkn it is reported that the Union Pacific passenger receipts at 2 cents a mile are $X,nM a month greater in Neb raska than before the ' Nebraska pas senger rate reduction law, it may be legally decided that the only thing con fiscated was the reduction which has disappeared into increasing receipts. Tiik office of county assessor should be occupied by a thorough business man. II. M. Soer.mch.se:. is one of ti e most competent n:e:i in Cass county for this particular position, and possesses all the necessary essentials to see that the bus iness of the ollice is carriei out to the verv letter. SfKAKlxtt of officials who enjoy the confidence and respect of the people of Cass county, where would you find one who is better liked than W. E. Rosen craris? Has he not made a model coun ty clerk? Ask any democrat, unpreju diced republican or anybody familiar with the sffsirs of the county. With dollar wheat and better. Western farmer is just w here he the has always wanted it to be and where he is likely to remain most of the time here after. To the gentleman riding in the sulky plow all the world must take off its hat with low obeisance and the price in hand. Ik the people of Otoe and Cass coun ties desire a judge of the district court who cannot be controlled by a small ring of lawyers in Plattsmouth and Ne braska City, they will vote for Judge Travis. His decisions will be rendered according to law, and not in accordance with the wishes of any ring of lawyers. Everyone can depend upon getting jus tice at the hands of Judge Travis. People with red, sporting blood in their veins may prepare for enjoyment this winter when they begin to see how the centralizing Big Stick is used on the railroads. When they see the game ness with which campaign-contributing railroad presidents from "administra tion States" stand the punishment, they need not stop to consider that the Big Stick is a stuffed club carefully padded for the purpose of the exibition. When, we say that a man of seventy five years is too old to be elevated to the supreme bench, we me&n no disrespect to age. No bnsiness firm or corpora tion in the land would entrust important business affairs to such a person. Mr. Reese has lived out the period alloted to men, and the fact that he himself does not realize that his age and infirm ities disqualify him for the active duties of an over-worked bench, is of it self evidence that he is unfit for the place. 1 he Weeping Water Republican i.i commecting on our ticket and platform savs: "As yet we have not heard whether the successful candidates on November 5 that he supports will stand on his platform. It looks like Thomas Jefferson's namesake was disgusted with some democratic candidates." We desire to say in reply that any honest man can stand on our platform. And our candidates are honest men. In re gard to the other alegation, we are not disgusted with a man on the democratic ticket, and that is more than we can say of others. Would the Republican have us be more explicit? Nehawka Register. Hon. II. D. Travis, democratic nomi nee for district judge, came down from Plattsmouth yesterday afternoon and will put in some of his time looking af ter hia campaign in this county. -Nebraska City News. The kind of "home rule" Mr. Taft starts in the Philippines this week has not been started in Ohio yet, but there is a profound conviction in Washington that this country needs all of it Mr. Taft can bring back with him from Asia. "lirazen" effrontry must give place to "tantaline" if it is true that a diam ond drill at revolutions a minute barly scratches the surface of a plate of the new Dakota metal. Obviously a tantalum front is what the Republican party needs foe its pretense of reform ing its own campaign contributors. Tin: Sugar trust is disturbed because certain Finney county farmers in Kan sas are willing to pay more for sugar beets :.s a hog food than the (larden City factory pays. Can't Congress be calledto gether at once to do something about this. New York Republicans are said to "fear the president's censure" for fusing with New York Populists, but, the President himself does not fear cen sure from the admirers of Senator Piffer, of Kansas. After reading Sen ator Peffer's masterpiece on the fall of populism and fusing with the Roosetelt administration, they go to the length of waiving whiskers as an evidence of good faith in the Republican fusionist from New York. The fact that Christie Metzer never held an office and never asked for one, is one great reason why he should be elected to the office of district clerk. No man has a lifelease upon any office in the court house, and many people in Cass county believe that the present incumbent at the office of district clerk has held office longer now than has ever been allotted to any one, and should have quietly "stepped down and out" with out being forced to by the voters, we do not believe in this modus oper-andi of holding on to the public teat Mr. Metzger was bom and reared in Cass county and his fihe qualification especially fit him for this office. His honesty and intignity go hand in hand with that of compietency, ami the seare sufficient measures why he should be successful at the polls in November. Judge Geo. L. Loomis. I am anxious to do everything I to assist in the election of Judge can Lo- omis and I will take pleasure in doing everything I can toward furthering his candidacy. C. J. Smyth. I certainly feel friendly to Judge Lo-o-r.is and will do everything I can to help him. I want to see him elect ed. Geo. W. Berre. I am glad for the opportunity to testify the high regard I have for Judge L'" nis as a lawyer and a man. I am greatly pleased with his nomi nation and I sincerely hope he will be elected. John J. Sullivan. The nomination of Judge Loomis meets with heartly approval of all the Democrats and Populists in Platte county. Edgar Howard. I am doing everythin g I can to advance the candidacy of Judge Loomis. He is clean.able, will make an excellant judge and I believe he will be elected. W. H. Thompson. i ss I feel greatly interested in t'.ie success of Geo. L. Loomis this fall and am i anxious to see him elected. I have known him for many years. He has always been deeply interested in the success of the principals for which he stand. I shall do everything possible to assist in his election. W. J. Bryan. I shall do what I can to advance the interests of Judge Loomis and con tribute to his election believing him in every way worthy and qualified for the position of Judge of our highest court. W. V. Allen. I am doing every thing I can to as sist in the election of Geo. L. Loomis for Judge of the supreme court. I. L. Albert. I am greatly interested in the success of our fall ticket this fall. I hear a great many well informed Republicans as well as the Democrats say they be lieve Mr. Loomis will be elected. Richard L. Metcalfe. I can assure you that Judge Loomis will have the hearty support of all Democrats in this corner of the state. Personally I am deeply interested in his election as our supreme court is sad ly in need of not only a democrat but a lawyer of the integrity and abality. Guy T. Graves. Geo. L. Loomis possesses the quali fications, the mental and moral courage and the democratic spirit and stamina of character so greatly needed on the supreme bench. The people of Neb raska will make no mistake in selecting him a3 supreme Judge. We should have the united support of the Democrats and Pobulists. O. W. Meter. A. J. Box is a man whose appearance denotes excellent qualities for a sheriff, and you can bet your last dollar that he will do his duty regardless of conse quences. He is manly, courageous and will not shirk his duties. Jl'lKlK Tkavis has served nearly four years as county judge, and no lawyer, . A . . m ' K UH'I I.)

A vote for Judge Travis means a vote for a district ju'dge who will see that equal arid exact justice is meted out to all alike. THANK K. Scm.ATKis is winning votes daily in every section of the county. The taxpayers who have transacted bus iness with him in the county treasurer's office know that he is fitted to succeed Billy Wheeler. Besides being one of the most competent men in Cass coun ty, he is a genial gentleman to do busi ness with. Mk. Hakuiman's conclusion that there is a great deal of surplus money in the country waiting on confidence for investment is being extensively in dorsed, more especially by holders of it whose experience leads them to provide waste-baskets for the most attractive offers of discount from green goods manufacturers. I. voting for II. M. Soennichsen, the people can rest assured they are voting for a gentleman and scholar, and one remarkably well fitted for the import ant position of county assessor. Rear in mind, also, that Mr. Soennichsen is well posted on everything that pertains to the duties of the office. A vote for Melchoir Soennichsen is a vote for the right man for the right place. Miss Foster, candidate for county superintendent of schools, is very popu lar with educators. Not only is this so, but she is also popular with all who de sire one who is remarkably wrell quali fied for the position. Miss Foster is making a modest campaign, winning many friends wherever she goes. The people know she is competent for the place and they also know her opponent is not. According to Manila cablegrams, Secretary Taft is "being extensively entertained." A number of campaign contributors and trust managers in this --"- j "..-j -j without going to Asia w hen they count up the possible profits on peon labor in hemp, tobacco and sugar for the gener ation which will elapse before Secretary Taft thinks the Filipinos will know enough to be allowed to have anything to say about it. Chas. R. Jordon is one of the best men in Cass county for county com missioner, and we can see no reason why he should not be elected. He comes from a section of the county that needs a represenetive on the board. Weeping Water is not entitled to two members as that vicinity now boasts of. While the western part of the county has had .no represenetive for several years. Plattsmouth has had one, Weep ing Water will have one, and why not give a commissioner in the ether section of the county. Vote for Charley Jordon and against Turner Zink, and then the the commissioners will come from dif ferent parts of the county. No one beleives that Weeping Water should be entitled to two representatives on the board, and by voting for Charles R. Jordon, you vote for just the man for the place, We Wonder Why? Thirty-five editors, nearly all of whom were Republicans, met in the city of Pittsburgh, Pa. , the other day and pas sed resolutions denouncing the paper trust and demand the immediate remov al of the protective tariff on wood pulp and all other ingredients entering into the manufacture of white paper. Strangely enough these Republican editors did not stop to consider the dam age that might be done to our "infant industries" by putting wood pulp on the free list. They did not think that thousands of American laborers might be thrown out ot employment if Can adian products were thus given access into our markets on an equal footing with our own. They did not even ask that the tariff be reduced to a point where the difference between the price of foreign labor and our own should be equalized. They asked for immediate and absolute free trade, and showed the desire to smash the sacred McKinley tariff, in this one particular at least, to smithereens. Now we wonder why these Republican publishers should demand free trade in white paper in gredients but should hold up their hands in holy horror at the idea of even a partial reduction in the duty on steel rails, for instance. Why should they deem it the proper thing to put wood pulp on a free list and yet resist the free importation of sugar? Why should they want to buy the particular goods they stand in need of in the cheapest market and ask others to buy in the dearest? In short, why can they see so clearly when the shoe pinches their own feet but be so blind when it squeezes the other fellow's corns? The justice who heard the Ferguson scandal case, dismissed the accused. He did not give much credit to the testimony of a witness who admitted before the world that she was simply a depraved character, moved by jealously to destroy the preacher. Of which some of his jealous brethern took ad vatage of to persecute and drive from the pulpit one who had shown himself to be far above them in everything ten ding to manhood and ability. There is a crying demand for active men upon the supreme bence. The work is so far behind at the present time that commissioners have been appointed to help transact the public business. It would therefore seem the height of folly to elect a man who by reason of age and infirmities is not able to fill the position, especially when there is no more pressing demand for the election than that Chairman Rose be provided a fat place as clerk of the court. Vote for Judge Loomis and you have a man in every way competent for supreme juoVe. If the Journal did not wield more in fluence among the democrats of Cass county than the Nebraska City Tribune docs in Otoe county, we would sell out and leave. The Tribune is edited by one Frank Helvey, a hanger-on in the Hayward-Pitzer-Jessen combine, and does their biding when they crack the whip. We say again, that Jesse L. Root is the candidate of this gang, and they, together with two attorneys in this city, agreed among themselves that be should be the republican candidate district judge. When the voters of Otoe and Cass counties learn this fact, which they surely will, their reason for want, ing Root, becomes very apparent. Vote forjudge Travis, who will'never be controlled by any ring of lawyers, either in Plattsmouth or Nebraska City. State Superintendent McBrien has appointed W. D. Redmond, a dem ocrat, as his assistant, to succeed L. C. Harnley, whose sudden death occurred last week, and in explaining his reason for so doing, says "the appointment was made strictly on merit." Was the ap pointment of George L. Farley as county superintendent of schools of Cass county, "made strictly on merit?" And this in face of the fact that there were three practical and experienced teachers ap plicants for the vacancy, and at the time the appointment was made Farley did not even possess a teacher's certificate of any grade. How do the voters of Cass county like this manner of doing business? Vote for Miss Mary E. Fos ter, whom you know possesses a life cer tificate, granted by the highest school authorities of the state. The democratic county ticket is one that any voter can support with a clear conscience that he has done the prop er caper. It was selected because of the excellent qualities of every person whose name appears thereon. No name appears, there who has been an accupant of the court house for 14 years, and who desires to extend his pap-sucking to that of IS years. Can you remember, voter, such a precedent in the history of Cass county? Generally an official is willing to relinquish his claim for a continuance in office after suckling the public teat for six and eight, and why should not the present district clerk be satisfied with what the voters of the county have already done for him 14 years in office. He will next want a life tenure, next. How to Vote. Each voter should first put a cross in his party cidcle- This will insure your vote for each candidate on your state, county and precinct ticket and thereby aid your friends. In this county we have a splended county ticket and there is no reason why each candidate "on our ticket should not haye your vote. If you feel that you must vote you must vote for some candidate on the , other ticket, vote in your party circle as above stated, and then put a cross in the square opposite the name of such candi date. This will be counted as a straight ticket except for one candibate. Judge H. D. Travis. It is with pleasure The News endorses the candidacy of Judge H. D. Travis for judge of this judicial district. The reason we do so is because we are acquainted with the gentleman and know his standing in the community where he resides. Cass county has never failed to elect him when he has been a candi date, and he could have been the nomi nee for county judge this year had he so desired, but he has held the office for four years and he declined to again be a candidate. It was at the earnest solicitation of Otoe county friends that he consented to be a candidate for dist rict judge. Mr. Travis is one of the ablest law yers in the district, is respected by all, is not in any manner a fanatic, is level headed and has the best of judgement. If the people of this district want a judge who will do justice to all and reflect credit not only to himself but all who gave him their endorsement they will vote for Judge Travis. If you do not like that kind of a man then vote against him. Nebraska City News. A W VJffv .J5r tl .W. r 7 ?
