If you do, let the fanatics inveigle yort Into voting for county option, and you will have it. :o: Muvbe Edgar will havo money enough to get his hair cut after the election, if Ilurkett pays him accord ing to the dirty work he has been doing for him. :o: Newport Republican: Mr. Uurkett Is trying to explain why he refuHes to meet Mr. Hitchcock In a public dis cussion of certain things. It doesn't listen good. :o: Drown County Democrat: No, It is hardly worth while for "Slippery" Elmer llurket to meet 0. M. Hitch- rock In Joint debate. Slippery real izes that he would bo trimmed to a frazzle. I :o: V. O. Whedon continues to pour hot shot Into "Slippery" Elmer Uur kett, and produces the proof that Uurkett has sold out the people of Nebraska In his voting on the Payne Aldrlch tariff. :o: . Nellgh Register: Of course, Hitch cock has nil the postmasters against him for United States senator. Hut all the pout masters don't cast all the votes that's where Gilbert has an other chance. :o: It Is Bald that the republican state candidates will be sacrificed to save Uurkett. There is no question as to "Slippery" Elmer resorting to such tactics, and he Is the fellow that needs watching. :o: Newport Republican: A vote for Gilbert M. Hitchcock Is a protest against corporate legislative control, Men of all parties should remember this fact when they go to the polls In November next. :o: Aldrlch's trip through Omaha was rather . "frosty," as he might have expected. In fact his meetings every where have been such failures, that some of the other republican state cmdldates demand tliat he get off the ticket. :o: Since the voters have been posted on the true character of Aldrlch, the republican candidate for governor, the slnnderous articles published against Mayor Duhlman fnde into In significance. It was ever thus,. with the party who first lunula out such arguments. ,o: The republican candidates for the legislature in Casa rounty are very much scared, even if they have, as they claim, "the better clement of the voters with them." The Journal would like to know Just what they mean by the "better element." P.mkett, Hartley t Howard, deal ers In defamation of characters. Ad dress the first at Lincoln, the second nt Denver and the last at CoUuiibi's. Nebraska. The company will be en- gaged In their chosen occupation un til after the 8th day of November, when a dissolution will take effect. :o: The dastardly attack upon Con gressman Hitchcoc k by Uurkett, Hart ley and Howard, Is reacting, and "Slippery" Elmer Is now trying to call off his dogs of war, Convict Hartley and Ms companion, Edgar Howard. to find therein a single thii.g which leliicu upon him as a man, a citizen, a representative or the people. :o: Just one question: Have ou read the names on the democ ratic ticket which hae been printed in this paper for the pa.-t several weeks? It's a good plan to get familiar with them, so you'll not be stumped when you get into the dark voting booth election day. Too many voters get over whelmed with the size of the 'job the moment they see the big ballot, the narrow shelf and the stubby pencil. Hut that Is the time to be cool and do business deliberately, for It Is the only work that really counts. :o: Prices are still going up. As a result of the upward revision of the entire cotton schedule In the Payne- Aldrlch law, the prices of women's and children's dress good have In creased considerably. The John V. Forwell company says In a review of the wholesale dry goods trade that still more advances may be expocted. The review declares that "almost all manufacturing agents are advancing prices on staple- manufactured cot A vote for C. E. Metzger is a vote for a young man who Is In every way fitted to serve the people of Cass county In the legislature. :o: Neligh Register: Howard's threat ened bomb that was to blow Hitch cock to smithereens has exploded and nobody hurt unless it be Howard. :o: Newport Republican: Are Nebras ka politics ko corrupt that ex-Convict Hartley can blast the reputation of nn honorable and useful man like G. M. Hitchcock? :o: If the county optlonlsts got any comfort from Governor Shallenber- ger's speech at the Parmele theatre, they are welcome to It. He certainly didn't mince matters on the county option question. :o: Since the republican campaign management has fallen into the hands of Uurkett, Hartley and How ard, a number of independent and republican papers have rushed to the support of Congressman Hitchcock for I'nited States senator. It Is reported that two of the re publican candidates, one for senator ,01S As lt lookg now rke8 w, eon and the other for representative, tinue t0 grow nrmer an(j higher In have said in one or two places that Ltanlo cotton good3 , .... .... ... iney cuci noi care ior me votes oi i ;0; those who were opposed to county DAIILMAX AXD THE I'lll'UCil option.

We believe they will need the votes of all elements ere the campaign Is ended. Most eandi- iatcs are not particular what eie ment supports them, so they get the proper number to elect them. :o: C. E. Metzger, the young German farmer, who Is a candidate for rep resentatlve on the democratic ticket understands the want3 and desires of the people of Cass county, so far as legislation Is concerned. He Is well educated and well posted on all mat ters In which a member of the legis lature should he posted.

P. JO, South Side Main Street, Plattsmouth, Nebraska There were probably a Tew demo crats and populists In Cass county, who, for reasons best known to them- ered la sincerity, and he who fights selves, would have voted for Uurkett, with his whole bou! even for a lost but since the slimy attack upon the and wron ca,ll,e lf more t0 b re well known character of G. M. Hitch- spected than the hlrlte." ineseare brave and true and Christian words, and It Is well that they should be spoken, right at this tlmo. from the pulpit of a Christian church In Nebraska. The harsh bitterness with which Mayor Dahlman has been assailed from many Nebraska pulpits, and In the name of the Christian church and the Christian religion, does not re float representative, is not begging votes on both sides of the county option question. The people khow where he stands. In the legislature ;e worked Incessantly against county jptlon and voted against It eveiy inie the measure came up. When you vote for Col. na'.es you know you are voting for a man who will do just as he did In the last session of the legislature oppose county option every day in the week. :o: Congressman Hitchcock Is doing the proper caper by paying no atten tion to the snarlings of Uurkett, Hartley and Howard. Uurkett was too cowardly to meet the democratic candidate for United States senator In a decent discussion of the issues before the people, but instead, has placed the management of his cam paign In the hands of Convict Joe Hartley and Renegade Edgar How ard. 0. 0. Whedon, former republican candidate for United States senator, Is right after "Slippery" Elmer In reference to some of that gentle man's false statements In this cam paign. In fact, Mr. Whedon has Burkett cornered, and he won't an swer, the references made from the Congressional Record, where he shows that Uurkett voted for a tax on articles In which the consumers of Nebraska are directly Interested. ! :o: Governor Shallenberger's compari-j son between Kansas and Nebraska ; certainly showed up bad for prohibi tion. Kansas, a prohibition state, has over 1,100 prisoners In the peni tentiary, over 500 of whom attribute their trouble to drink, while In the Nebraska penitentiary only 200 attribute their trouble to drink. Kan sas enjoys prohibition and Nebraska has open saloons. This comparison made some of the county optlonlsts wiggle In their seats. :o: Senator W. R. Banning should be re-elected because he has made a record that is creditable not only to himself but to the people of Cass county. In the senate he was a leader, and commanded the respect and confidence of every member of that body. A vote for V. B. Ban ning means a vote for one who will reflect credit upon the county he represents. No one will make any mistake in voting for W. B. Banning on the 8th day of November. It Is a duty you owe to yourself and your county. :o: . DR Herman Breeder, Graduate Veterinary Surgeon (Formerly with U. S.

We are firmly convinced that the acCusatlons against Hitchcock, which up. It seems to us that an infantile Intelligence should have foreseen that the result would be to make every democrat in the state madder than a hornet Just mad enough, in fact, to go and vote her straight, Dahlman and all. If Jim Dahlman is elected governor on the 8th of No vember, he will be a base lngrate if he fails to return devout thanks to the Omaha Dee and the Lincoln Jour nal and the Uurkett bureau. As to the effect on the senatorial campaign, it will probably be small, but such as it Is will undoubtedly operate to the advantage of Hitch cock. Dirty politics always turns out that way. In the case of these height of political folly was reached by the republican campaign mana gers when they worked up the great spectacular scenic production of Joe Hartley. We are convinced that they then and there did the most effective are given out as being composed by Bartley, edited and fingered by How ard, and published by Rosewater, they have already fallen of their own weight within less than a week after the grand unveiling. The original story of his borrowing from Hartley, the banker, a straight forward, clean business transaction.

Hitchcock will fall further than this World-Herald. A FRUITFUL INVESTMENT T SPECULATE 1NVEST1 When you speculate on margins you are like the fellow hold in on a bears tail as it runs around a tree-if you lose vour hold the bear will get you. Invest in real estate. It is the true basis of wealth and if you want to play a sure crame buy land that produces things. We have land of this kind for sale In Parrita Ranch, four miles from Talfar rias, Texas. It is land on which you can at any time borrow 75 per cent of it a value. W. E. ROSENORANS & SON service that has so far been done information that charged Hitchcock had "borrowed large sums of money from the state treasury, and still owes 85 per cent of it to the state treasury." Not a line or a picture that has so far been published by the Bee and Journal would be admit ted in any court of law as competent, relevant or material to the charge contained in the information. Dirty personal attacks on a man whose whole life has been cleart, and whose only offense is that he is a candidate for office, Invariably help him in stead of hurting him, and that re sult is already manifest In this case. As to the moral question involved: Nobody expected anything better from the Bee, but we hope to be believed when we say that we did not expect such a course from the Lincoln State Journal. It Is one thing for newspapers to call eaen other vile contemporaries and yellow sheets, and the other familiar names. In the affectionate and impersonal journalistic way, as we all do more or less. Hut when It comes to a mid night conspiracy with convicts and gamblers to steal a man's good name, ' It Is quite a different thing. The re sponsible editors of the Omaha Bee and the Lincoln Journal cannot piead that they don't know Hitchcock, for they do. And they cannot plead that they don't know Hartley, or that they don't know Howard, ror they do. lt Is a dirty business, and In re spect to the object which lt must have been Intended to accomplish, tho success of the republican state campaign, lt Is suicidal. We regret It for the sake of Mr. Aldrlch. :o: toward the election of Jim Dahlman as governor. We arrive at this con clusion by the following simple process1: In the first place Dahlman has 15,000 or 20,000 republican votes to start with that Is conceded by everybody. The only possibility of beating him lay In taking an equiva lent number of democratic votes away from him, and there was a reasonable probability that this would be done, for many democrats throughout the Btate were reported to be dissatisfied wltn Dahlman as a candidate and disposed to scratch their ticket In favor of Aldrlch. Obviously this was the only hope of electing the republican candidate for governor. With matters In this condition, and with every democrat in the state, from Dryan down, united in support of Hitchcock for United States sena tor and confident of electing him In place of the misfit Burketi, a dirty and libelous pesonat attack on Hitchcock is framed up on the au thority of Jail birds and published In the two republican state dallies, the same papors that are furnishing the journalistic end of the campaign against Dahlman. All tho circum stances of the publication, the pre liminary announcements for two or three weeks, the careful working up of tho public curiosity, tho engraved plates prepared In advance and ready In tho press rooms In both Omaha nd Lincoln, tho Interviews with prominent but anonymous citizens all set in typo and ready In the com posing rooms In both Omaha and Lincoln, and then the simultaneous publication of the story in the Omaha Bee and tho Lincoln Journal at what was deemed to bo the psychological moment In the campaign all togeth er plainly Indicate that the scheme was carefully and deliberately cooked For Sale. 204 acre farm, 4 miles west of Plattsmouth one and half mllca from grain elevator, well Improved, and known as the Jacob Horn farm.
