' Democrats, populists and insurgent trtpubllcans all over the state are lining up for Hitchcock for senator. 'The attacks of the Omaha Roe, and KiQ treachery of Edgar Howard, OHEitited by that penitentiary bird, Joe-Hartley, are proving a great help to Mr. Hitchcock. :o: Will Cass county vote for the Jull proposition?

The Western Laborer has .... supported him for congress every Kearney Democrat Refore we .u.i I time he was a candidate, and we be convinced that Aldrlch Is a belle:- stand absolutely pat for him for man than James C. Dahlman we want United States senator. He has been you to tell us why Tom Dennison, square with organized labor for the boss of the "red light district" twenty-five years, and now is the and owner of the Third ward in time for organized labor to be square Omaha, is supporting Aldrlch and with him. This is no time for reso opposing Dahlman, ' and why Tom lutlons.

M. A. Pates is a vote against county option", and no mistake. He told the voters of Otoe . . . . . . u . and Cass counties two years ago uav If he was elected he would vote and work against such a measure. He was true to his promise then, and will prove true again, if elected. You know who and what you are voting for ln your support of Col. Dates for re-election. :o: Durt County Herald (rep.) If any notes that Hitchcock gave to Bartley as state treasurer remain unpaid, they are the best evidence, give them to the public. Why should the peo pie take the word of Hartley-Howard and company, who have no standing with the average voter. Blackmail methods should be condemned. The criminal class should not be permit ted to dictate who should be elected to positions of trust and honor. :o: Thoso who favor county option should vole for the candidates for the legislature who favor such a proposition, and if you are opposed to county option you should vote for those who are opposed to it. At the epubllcan county convention held at Union, every candidate endorsed by the convention declared them selves in favor of the county option resolution adopted by the conven tion, and Mr. N'utzman, candidate for float representative, was present at the time. :o: A vote for John A. Maguire for congressman, Is a vote for a man who has "been tried and not found wanting" In the least. Mr. Maguire has been in congress just long enough to "get onto the ropes," and In that short time has proved very conclusively that he Is made of the right kind of material to soon be come one of the leaders in congress. He is able, conscientious, and has the best interests of his constituents at heart at all times. :o: districts and business districts In I with the campaign C. E. Metzger Is :o:- .1. i I .

He became an "in surgent" upon the discussion of the I'ayne-Aldrlch tariff bill and was a recognized leader of that wing of the republican party, a force much feared by the regulars and standpatters. The illness which led to his death was contracted while stumping for La Follette, a compeer in the movement against the trust tariff and Cannon ism. :o: ALDKICH AMI DAHLMAN. (Crelghton Liberal.) Opinions differ widely among those who went to hear the republican can didate for governor last week. The republican nominee gives four-fifths of his time to the democrats and plainly says that if he is elected It will be democratic votes that will elect hint. Many people know very little about this mooted question, county option, and if Mr. Aldrlch had endea his speech when he got through with that feature he would have left a better taste In the mouths of his au dience than they had when he had assured them that every booze fight- OR Herman Groodor, Graduate Veterinary Surgeon (Formerly with U.

He Is a young m'an whoso character is beyond re proach. :o: A vote for V. n. Manning is a vote Jor a man "who has bea triad and not found wanting."

How many men are there in Omaha and Nebraska who lived here In tho 90s and who did not borrow money or beans or coal or rent or groceries? No matter whether they wero business men, farmers, laborers, or skilled mechanics? Those were the dark days of tho reaction of the boom, the hot winds, tho drouth and tho panic. No matter from what class, they can tell you harrowing tales of misery, hunger and dread. Every man who had a job was taking care of his broke ret atlves or friends. Thousands upon thousands felt the pinch ln those days. We are Intensely familiar with tour years or mat period, ana we know something of the struggle O M. Hitchcock went through to save the World-Herald. His struggle Is no secret ln Omaha. Every banker business man, money lender and newspaper man who lived ln Omaha at that time knows all about that courageous and seemingly hopeless -:o:- Tho Nebraska Issue, the organ of the Anti-Saloon League, Is doing mnrvelous work ' against county option. Its work Is meant for coun ty option, but its inconsistency Is working in the direction not Intend ed. Keep up tho work, gentlemen, and county option will be many years ln the futuro in Nebraska. :o: Senator W. 11. Running should be re-elected because he has made good in representing the true Interests of Cass county. The farmers, the bus! ness men, , and ln fact, everyone knows that he is no fanatic on any subject, but will act for the best Interests of the whole people of Cass county, Irrespective of party, sect or creed. :o: It will bo remembered how prohi bition worked ln Iowa a few years ago. It almost ruined the state, by driving capital from Its borders They saw that prohibition was great mistake, and proceeded as soon as posstbte to get rid of it County option is the first stepping lieiMIl III uiaai luc luaiaui'i ui an old man, In order to win a divorce suit for a gay and giddy young wo man? Thls; Is charged against the "highly moral" candidate for govern or on the republican ticket. He Is the same man wno voted and worked against county option while a mem ber of the state senate four years ago, and today Is Indorsing county option. Is he a proper person to be elevated to the high position of chief executive of Nebraska? :o: The sudden death o: Senalor J. V. Dolllver. of Iowa, Saturday night at his home, Fort Dodge, that state, re- figures In American politics. He was a native of West Virginia, the son of a Methodist circuit rider, and a grad uate of the West Virginia university. Though but 51 years old he had a remarkable career In congress. After a brief period of law practice he was elected to the Flfty-nrst congress from the Tenth Iowa district, and succeeded himself ln the low er house up to and Including the Fifty-sixth congress. His ability as a speaker and his wide grasp of public ques tions brought him to the forefront of the finest young men in the county, and who possesses excellent qualifications for the position. :o: " Remember that county option means prohibition. The Issue, the temperance organ of the Anti-Saloon League, says that is what it Is, and that paper ought to know. So If you want the genuine article of pro hibition, vote for county option. :o: Wonder if people who are paying 18, cents for 12-cent beefsteaks, especially the working people, will vote to keep the old party in con gress that is responsible for the high prices and distress that afflicts the country? If they do they deserve nothing better than high" prices, pov erty and wage slavery. :o: . One hundred and fifty bus.ses?

When you speculate on mareins you are like the fellow holding on a bears tail as it runs around a tree-if you lose your hold the bear will tjetyou. invest in real estate. It is the true basis of wealth and if you want to play a sure trm huv land that nroduces thinirs. We haveiand of this kind for salo in Tarrita Ranch, four miles from Talf ar ria. Texas. It is land on which you can at any time borrow 75 per cent of it s value. W. E. RDSENCRANS & SON SI IU'.LY 'TIS lOLLY TO 1IK WISE. If you want the hard times of 1893 under President Cleveland's free trade Wilson-Gorman tariff law, vote the democratic ticket this fall Re publican Exchange. , "Where Ignorance Is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." The quoted saying ap plies to the republican exchange. In the first place, President Cleveland did not sign the Wilson-Gorman bill because he declared that the average rates were higher than Its predeces sorthe McKInley bili. Taen it was confessedly not a free trade law. Any man with the least bit of reading and Information knows that this country never had free trade in all its history. Now, as to the hard times of 1893. President Cleveland in herited them from President Harri son, nut nere is a poini an me howlers about hard times in 1893 comnletely overlook namely: The hard times came under the McKInley tariff law. The Wilson-Gorman tar Iff law went Into effect without Pres ident Cleveland's signature, August 27, 1894. So the hard times came in 1S93 under a high tariff, the same as they came again under a high tariff in 1907. Mark well these two events. :o: W. H. Puis, the young German farmer, who is one of the democratic candidates for the legislature In Cass county, Is making an excellent race and will receive the support of many republicans who know him to be one statement showing the advancement Omaha has made during Dahlman's administration and all agree, with one accord, that he has been the best mayor Omaha ever had. That ought to hold the croakers and puritans a little while. :o: Chris Gunther, vice-chairman of the democratic state central commit tee, has been offered the position of railroad commissioner, made vacant by the death of Commissioner Cow gill, but Mr. Gunther declines the same, prefering to work in the har ness during the campaign and assist In pulling the democratic ticket through.
