large Incomes to help pay ths
expenses of the general gov- -If

Those propositions commend
themselves to three-fourths of
the voters of Nebraska. Bryan

them. Taft and his party are

The democrats would have been
blamed for Noah's flood had a presi
dential election been imminent at that
time.
Taft, Sherman and Cannon, each
trust-raised, trust-praised and trust
dazed what a trinity they would make
at the head of this great nation!
The republicanshave resorted to ly
in? to beat W. E. Banning. But their
dastardly circular won't count with the
honest voter of Cass county.
Republicans have resorted to the
cowardly method of sending out dastar
dly circulars at the last moment to de
feat W. B. Banning for Senator.
To the Voters of Cass County.
My attention has been called to an
article which the Weeping Water Re
publican has printed and which is being
te it out in circular form from Lincoln
attacking my candidacy for the state
senate. The article and circular in
question is misleading and is circulated
to prejudice rnv friends against sup-
' porting me at the polls upon Nov. .'.
! My best answer to this indecent at
tack is to refer to the friends with
I whom I have done business-for fifteen
! years, all of whom know me far better
! than the editor of the Republican, am
: to my many farmer friends with whom
i I have had business transactions.
The article itself is misleading in
every respect. The old Grain Dealers'
Association has been out of business for
! the past five years and was dissolved by
the board of directors themselves.
was a member of the board, having
been placed there over my protest, and
I never, during the existence of the As
sociation attended a meeting.
It has not been my policy in this nor
any other campaign to indulge in mud-
slinging nor have I any sympathy with
any person or party who resorts to such
tactics I disclaim any knowledge of,
nor was I a party to any combination of
grain dealers to restrict any legislation
against any Farmers' Grain or Elevator
Company nor are any of the allegations
of the article and circular true so far as
I am concerned.
The best reference I can give the vo
ters of Cass county is my old and true
neighbors and my personal record which
is clean and free from any taint of cor
ruption. W. B. Banning.
Success of a Young Lawyer.
General John C. Cowen has been in
the city for several days, attending
District Court.
Many old settlers will remember John
C. Cowen, when he was a young lawyer
just commencing the practice. That was
about forty years ago when Judge
George B. Lake was on the bench, as
one of the three district judges of the
three district courts of Nebraska
General Cowen was then a young man
only about twenty-three years old
just out of a celebrated law college and
just commencing the practice of a pro
fession that has made him famous.
As a lawyer he ranks among the abl-
! est and most successful in the United
j States, and for many years. General
: Cowen has been on f the recognized
leaders of the Omaha Par. Genera!
i Cowen successfully prosecuted a noted
j muitier case at Plattsmouth when only
twenty-three years of age.
The people recognized ability, worth
and ambition in General Cowen at that
early age.
Will C. Ramsey is older than was
General Cowen at that time.
Billy is a native-born Cass County
boy, a graduate of the Plattsmouth
High School, a graduate of the State
University and of its Law Department.
Billy has been City Attorney of Platts
mouth for the last year and has made
a record which anyone ridght e ivy.
During the campaign, Billy has been
charged with being a joung man the
only charge that could be made against
him. But he has made a clean, most
honorable campaign, showing his well
knoivn high character and the voters
will remember Billy next Tuesday v. lien
-hey elect him County Attorney.
Last fall a few men got together in
New York and after a short session one
ol them pressed a button, ?.nd on the
following morning you couldn't get your
money out of a single bank in the
United States. This was an object les
son to the people and they demanded
more safety for their money in the banks.
A. C. Shallenberger is the author of
the plank in his platform favoring ab
solute safety for your money on de
posit. Governor Sheldon stands on a
platform which is opposed to any kind
of a guaranty by law. A vote for Shel
don is a vote against the guaranty of
bank deposits. Where do you stand?
More Than Enough is Too Much.
To maintain health, a mature man or
woman needs just enough food to repair
the waste and supply energy and body
heat. The habitual consumption of more
food than is necessary for these pur
poses is the prime cause of stomach
troubles, rheumatism and disorders of
the kidneys. If troubled! with indiges
tion, revise your diet, lefXreason and
not appetite control and take a few
doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and vou will soon be all
right again. For Sale by F. G. Fricke

THE BAN ICR
is.n? DAD
What About the Wr.o Deposited
Money in His Bank
( I ml mi i iii' 'IVlftri aili-1 1 itu lil. )
W. L. Culbertson, t4 years of age
and president of the First National
bank oi Carroll, la., is dead by his'own
hand.
Culbertson took the money of the
depositors and speculated in western
lands. Examiners found the bank to
be insolvent, owing depositors hundreds
of thousands of dollars more than the
assets, in all probability. When Cul
bertson learned that his misdeeds had
been found out, he shot himself,
v That disposes of Culbertson, except
that it ought to be observed in passing
that he bore an honored name in the
community and had the people's trust.
But it doesn't dispose of the deposit
ors. What about them? They will get
back so much of their money as is left
after the expenses of the receivership
have been met. But every man who
owns the bank on a note will have to
pay. That is what the republicans call
just to compel the creditors of the
bank to pay the bank in full, but not to
compel the bank to pay its creditors in
full.
The year before last there were thirty
two bank failures in Iowa and twenty-
one of them were due to the use of the
depositors' money in speculation in
lands, cattle, the Chicago board of
trade, etc. Seven of the bankers, if
we remember rightly, killed themselves.
But that didn't put any money in the
pockets of the defrauded depositors.
It simply kept the bankers from being
put in jail.
In the face of such a record, some
men have the supreme gall to rise up
to the fullness of their stature and say
that to protect the depositor against
loss of his savings in the bank would
induce wild cat banking. What kind
of banking should one call that done by
the thirty-two, and more especially the
twenty-one? Singed cat banking, per
haps, the depositors being the cat.
They say, too, that the guaranty plan
would lower the "tone" of banking.
We submit that your concern is not for J
the tone, but for your money. If that j
banking system which admits thirty-two
bank failures in Iowa in a year has a
"high tone," what, pray, is a "low
tone?"
They say too, that it would be unjust
to compel other banks to stand the loss
due to the failure of Culbertson'sbank.
This is to be said in reply, that if this
state or nation should compel bankers
to unite to pay losses, the bankers
would voluntarily unite to stop losses.
They would secure laws making it im
possible for Culberton to borrow so
much of the bank's funds; they would
have an examining board of their own
a clearing house board and through
this they would .watch each other; one
bank knows what its neighbor is doing,
but isn't to its pecuniary interest to
protest against its neighbor's wrong
doing; under the guaranty plan, it
would have a financial interest and in
formed aboutwrong-doing would speed
ily protect itself by informing on the
ad bank; and the good bankers would
secure the adoption of other laws to
insure that the one black sheep among
the hundred sheep would not be permit
ted to do much damage to them, to it
self, to anybody else.
Pollard Makes Another Break.
Word comes from Talmage to the
effect that the republicans there are
greatly bewildered over the stand
taken by Congressman Pollard on the
County Option question in his speech
there Monday night. Talmage is lo
cated in a German community and has
always been a saloon town, supporting
three at the present. County Option
has never been an issne there and the
republicans are at a loss to know why
Pollard took that occasion to announce
himself as favoring the principle of
county option and further-stating that
Gov. Sheldon and a republican legisla
ture could be depended on to do the
"right thing" when this measure came
up in the next legislature. The faith
fuls are asking themselves what effect
this announcement will have on the
German vote, and all the republicans
there are reported as having be
come suddenly interested in County
Option. Nebraska City News.

WHY NOT TRADE AT HOME?
The stars are with him. He goes
forth like one sure of his position. '
Verily his trail is clean and clear. The
masses are with him. We mean that
sterling young man, William C. Ramsey
candidate for county attorney.
Ik you are of a different party and
wish to vote for W. J. Bryan mark the
square in front of the first 13 names in
the second column of your ballot,
After that go to your party column and
vote for such men as you desire. Do
not vote for two men for same office.
From all sections of the country re-
I ports are coming into the democratic
j national headquarters showing where
members of Hearst's independent party
are repudiating their leader and flock
ing under the banner of Mr. Bryan.
In many instances the Hearst men are
quietly deserting the flock and giving
their strength to democracy, while in
other cases the men have passed reso
lutions condemning the tactics of
Hearst and indorsing the national
democratic ticket.
A man's record is clearer and cleaner
than that of nine out of every ten men
in Cass county when there can be noth
ing more serious than being connected
with a grain dealers' association is
brought agairist him. Every farmer in
Cass county knows this fact. Dick
Schmidt, the republican candidate for
representative, was connected with the
same association, and so was A. F
Sturm, the chairman cf the republican
county central committee. There is no
such association in operation now. But
was not Mr. Sturm and Mr. Smith as
deep in the mud as Mr. Banning is in
the mire? Mr. Banning will make an
honorable representative of the people
of Cass county in the state senate, and
if the people want the best man for
this important position, they will go to
the polls next Tuesday and vote for W.
B. Banning.

The Bank Guarantee Law.
Bryan for President and Maguire for
Congress demand that a law shall be
passed at once guaranteeing the depos
its of the people in the banks from loss
in case the bank fails. If elected they
pledge themselves to pass such a law.
Taft for President and Pollard for
Congress deny the right of depositors
to such protection. The state, county,
city and precinct demand security for
money deposited in banks. Taft and
Pollard do not believe the people, upon
whom a bank failure often brings utter
ruin, should be guaranteed against loss.
Will you vote for Taft and Pollard
and take chances in panics and bank
failures of losing all you hae in
the
ruin that folio1
Or will you vote for Bryan and Ma -
guire who will pass a law that will
guarrantee you against loss in bank
failure, and will practically prevent
panics?
Oklahoma now has a bank guarantee
law, and recently a bank failed at Col
gate affording an opportunity to test
the working of the law. Another bank
failed in Ohio showing what happens
under the Taft-Pollard system. Read
