Now let the republicans do as well by having Sheldon, the "sure trust" treasurer of their national committee, do the same. Even if all the reports be true about Governor Haskell, isn't Sheldon "deep er in the mire" than the governor of Ok lahoma dare be "in the mud?" The nid saving, "Sweep your own door yard e!v;:n before you undertake to sweep that of o'hers" will be a good policy for the republicans to follow.

Some of our Democratic contemporaries might come to the relief of our disturb ed friends by suggesting an easy way out of the difficulty by electing a Dem ocratic congress, but we hardly suppose the advice will be enthusiastically ac cepted by the Republicans. Cone to the Front. The voters of this congressional district will remember how bashful Hon. Ernest W. Pollard was when the people asked him to return a certain sum to the United States treasury that they beleived he had accepted and was not entitled to. It required a great deal of hard persuasion to induce him to reimburse Uncle Sam. All the time the question was being discussed Pol lard kept his mouth closed tighter than a clam in high water. Now there is another question con cerning which Pollard is equally ret icent and that is whether he would favor the re-election of Cannon as speaker of the house. All over the country the people are demanding that Cannon be defeated and many congressmen are compelled to tell whether they will sup port the great obstructionist or not. Of Cannon's few pets, Pollard was the m-st favored. It would look like rani gratitude for Pollard to desert him .v. But the people of this dis trict not want Cannon and will not stano rhim. No one knows this better thai ; 'Hard, and that is the reason why v is keeping hi3 mouth shut. In cr-tice to his constitutents Pollard ougl ' tell where he stands in regard to C on. But will he?

Tm.i'.K were fifty bankers in the recent Nebraska republican state con vention, and five of the seven members of the committee on platform w ere bankers. See the point'.' An old republican of Cass county who never voted any other than the repub- ...;..... ..f 1 ,,i ,, .1,,-. to vote for illiam Jennings Bryan this time, says: "The best evidence that Taft is going to lose out is the fac t that the republican managers, assisted by the President of the United States, are resorting to all manner of abuse and false statements in this campaign." The old gentleman is right, and there are many other republicans in Cass county who look at the matter in the .-ame light. W. (J. Ram.-ey, the democratic candi date for county attorney, is a Cass county production. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Ramsey, are pioneer residents and grew up with the country. Rilly was born and reared in the county, educated in the High school of I'latts mouth, and graduated from the law department of the state university with highest of honors. For honesty, in tegrity, morality and every other qual ity that goes to make up a model young man, is embodied in Rilly Ramsey. As a lawyer he will rank with the ablest young men in the state. When you vote for him on the Third clay of Nov ember, you can do so with a clear con science that you have voted for one who will fill the office of county attorney with credit to himself, to his friends and the people of Cass county generally. Governor Haskell did a magnanim ous thing when he resigned as treasurer of the democratic national committee. While absolutely innocent of charges that have been made against hirr by mud-slinging Republicans, and confident of his ability to prove his innocence, yet he would not have the party em barrassed in the slightest by giving the Republicans an opportunity to shift the real issues. His resignation was not necessary, nor was it asked by either the Democratic leaders or the Demo cratic press. That he will prove his innocence ar.cl confound his traducers goes without saying, and he will do it alov.e and sir.glehanded, as an individual ' and not as a part of tne Democratic j organization. Mr. Roosevelt stepped a live wire when he accused Gov- e"-nor itasiceu 01 being in tne employ of Stm.iiard Oil, and he will find it out to the 1 est of many votes his candidate might otherwise have gotten. The American eople love fair play and a square rie-.!. ar.d it is very apparent that Govorr.fr Haskell has r.ot been accorded either. "Prcxy" Taft. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, one of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer's newspapers, summarizes the democratic case against the Roosevelt adminstration as follows: "1. It has been extravagant and wastful. "2. It has attempted to popularize war. "3. It' has gloried in Philippine im perialism. "4. It has menaced the states with federal usurpation by means of con structive jurisprudence. "5. It has recklessly undermined confidence in our business methods, causing panic, depression and suffering. "6. It has profited by the political contributions of corporations seeking legislative favors. "7. It has spoken vociferously against the malefactors of great wealth, but it has not brought one of them to justice. "8. It has bullied congress, threat ening to do as it pleased, law or no law. "9. It has assailed the courts when their judgments were contrary to its wishes. "10. It has maintained the highest tariff ever known in a free country, and has made no move in favor of income and inheritance taxes. "11. It has constantly demanded law and more law for the prosecution of trusts, although existing laws are held by it to be too drastic for enforce ment. "12. It is now attempting to round out a career of willfulness, greed, am bition and tyranny by forcing the elec tion of a personally excellent and I amiable proxy." These are legitimate issues; they are timely issues; they are democratic issues. As the opposition candidate it becomes Mr. Bryan's privilege and duty to present them with all the skill and ability at his command. His opportunity lies in an appeal to j democrats anil to that great element ! in the electorate that is tired of ex travagance and of militarism, of im- perialism, of Rough Riderism, of cen tra'.ization, of personal government, of ! big stick admistrat ion and partnership with predatory plutocracy. Ret Mr. Taft be the proxy. Ret Mr. Taft be heir to "My Policies." Rut let Mr. Rryan be the democratic candidate for president of the United States. &I0ST KOSPITft BLY ENTERTAINED A Large Number of Friends Spend a Cay at the Palatial Heme of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Tritsch. Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Rd. Tritsch it their elegant home west of the city entertained a large crowd of their many friends. The guests included many from this city as well as those who lived in the near neighborhood of the hospitable host and hostess. Those who attended from the city were passengers on the Denver Special furnished by Paul Budig. He assumed charge of the party and under his able management the entire party was transported both to and from the ex cellent farm. The misadventures of the party who went from the city were numerous to say the least. It is said that Ed. Donat who made one of the big party from the city, saw some goats on the way out but the remainder of the party insisted the alleged goats were swine. Edward, however, still claims he was right. There were other curious happenings on the trip. There was a jug of cider taken along and Clark Kinnek was supposed to know what it was. He was asked to treat his friends and passed the jug around the crowd. Every one took some and he really believed he was about to lose out entirely, to prevent such a disaster, he grabbed the jug and took a double dose. It turned out to be water and he deluged the crowd after he found the trick they had played upon him. He was not alone in his troubles. Har vey Harger was starred as the man who could ride the bucking broncho and he gave a fine exhibition before the crowd, lighting several times with a loud bang in the lot but he finally mastered the beast amid the applause of the assemblage. Victor Anderson gave them all an exhibition of fast work in running a machine with pedals on it. lie started out to catch the rest of the crowd by working the pedals but it was a failure. It can be said for him that be really entertained the crowd with some fine singing, he giving them several popular selections. Other events included a shooting match in which John Libershal won. Some exhibition shooting by Paul Budig and Ed. Ilronek I deserved special mention, they shooting at an apple hung on a string. After all these thrilling events.supper was served by Mrs. Tritsch and it is no flattery to say that this supper was one of the finest ever served to a large crowd in this vicinity. There was everything that it was possible to pro cure and it was done up on the style that makes it more than acceptable. In fact, every mouthful made one wish for more. Anton Koubek had tele phoned two weeks ahead to have chicken served and Mrs. Tritsch had certainly taken care of the order as there was chicken galore and he got all he ordered and then some. All in all the supper was certainly one of the finest the visitors ever indulged in. An attempt to settle the county milk ing contest was had, Anton Koubek and Victor Anderson trying it over again. This time there were three judges chosen being J. P. Meisinger, Conrad Meisinger ar.d Mrs. Ed. Tritsch. The judges were unable to come to any conclusion, Conrad Meisinger favored Koubek and J. P. Meisinger favored Anderson while Mrs. Tritsch claimed it was a draw giving Anderson 'credit for having more foam on the milk but that Koubek had the heaviest weight in the milk. Anderson is somewhat shaky now on his claim to the championship. The entire party returned home in the evening after a most delightful trip. Those who were present were P. H. Meisinger and family, Conrad Meisinger and family, Jacob Tritsch and family, John Tritsch and family, Fred Khenny and family, John Kaffenberger and family, Saul Adamson and family, Henry Born and family, C. II. Vallery and family, Philip Schafer and family, John Schafer and family, Mrs. Maggie Schafer and family, Will Kruger and family, Harvey Harger and family, Clyde Adamson and family, Misses Lil ly White, Louise Kehne, and Messrs Ed. Donat, P. F. Budig, Anton H. Koubek, Joe Libershal, John Libershal, Victor Anderson, Frank Koubek, Earl Geis, Ed. Hronek and John Jourenek. 1 C. P. HALE, President 5 FROM Till?

And we believe that the Journal stated a fact. Taft has all his life hern in the service of his country 1 11 1 never did he get an ortiee by 'din;?; before the people and have them sr-:y whether he should he chosen or not.

Departed for Home- Fred Metzger, wife and children came in on Monday from Louisville where they have been visiting relatives and friends and departed this uoon for their home at Broken Arrow, Okla. They have been making a very extend ed visit to points on the Pacific coast, having been in Washington and Oregon for several weeks and later visiting with relatives in Knox county this state. Mr. Metzger, who is a flourish ing farmer down in Oklahoma states that he is greatly impressed with the soil and climate of Washington and Oregon, and contemplates returning there.

He found matters in a serious state in the east, factories being closed down and a general business paralysis exist ing, everywhere. Thousands of men out of work and times are very hard. The . conditions are much worse than in this section. Political conditions are decid- edly mixed, there being a feeling that Bryan is going to show unexpected strength in that section and standing a good chance of victory. While away he was seriously ill, having taken a cold which made him a lot of trouble. He j is feeling fine now and looking much better than when he went east. He was quite able to take his seat on the bench this morning and commenced the Sep tember term of court. W. GLENWOOB GRANITE NOTICE.
