"Special privileges to none"
should hold good. If one mer

extending the front of his store

Everyone hhould unite in the
effort to clean up the city. It is
the proper move, and to make n
success of it we should all do our
part in the direction of making
Plattsmouth more beautiful. Let's

:o:
Some of our party friends are
disposed to believe that the ani
mosities engendered in the pri
inary campaign will be hard to
harmonize in the election cam
paign to follow. We do not be
lieve so. The democrat who can
not throw to the four winds his
ill-feeling and rally to the sup
port of the successful candidates
nominated is not made of the pure
Jeffersoniun material. We have
experienced wortn contests than
the one we have just passed
through and much more bitter
ones, and in the llnal outcome the
democrats came out on top. And,
no matter who the party nominees

A clean city is always noted by

:o:
ATTENDING PRIMARIES.
The remark was once made to
us by a citizen that he had not at
tended a caucus of his party for
ten years. The last time he went,
he said, he was so disgusted with
the cut and dried way the nomina
tion were put through that he quit
and never went again.
This citizen, who is an honest
and respected man, is typical of
more than half the people in the
United States. In spite of all the
wrangling and hard feelings of
the present campaign, it is at
least a sign for congratulation
that the people are waking up to
a sense of the tremendous import
ance of caucuses and primaries.
The attitude of (he man we re
ferred to and all his kind is
curiously funny. In order to hit
at the bosses and machines, he
did precisely what the bosses and
machines wanted him to do, that
is, to keep his hands off and let
them run things to suit them
selves. Every man who dislikes all
forms of ring rule should do pre
cisely the opposite. It he will at
tend the primary meetings and
caucuses he will find that the
spread of his influence is widen
ing. He will have plenty of
chances to get in his licks at ring
rule.
If a cilizen fens that he cannot
spend lime both to attend the
caucuses and to vote at the elec
tion, it is much more important
for him to do the former. The
result at election is three times
out of four a foregone conclusion.
:o:
A DEMOCRATIC YEAR.
V prominent Washington cor
respondent has the situation sized
up in this way:
This is a democratic year. It
is a peculiar tact that nearly every
republican that you meet in this,
the political nerve center of the
United Stales, and who has some
eputation either as a statesman
or a man of affairs, will tell you
that the republicans, so far as
this year is concerned, are abso
lutcly and hopelessly defeated.
It sounds very good to me as an
old-fashioned democrat to hear
that sort of talk coining from re
pum trans, wtio nave been in
authority so long and who have
been leaders of their parly in all
political campaigns for the last
thirty years. From the outlook,
I agree absolutely with their
sentiments, that unless the demo
crats play the infernal fool at
their convention in Haltimore,
they certainly will win the presi
dency and the next house of rep
resenlatives and probably (ho
next United Stales senate. If they
do, they will win something that
has not occurred since Cleveland's
last election in 1892, and then
can demonstrate to the entire
country tho fact that the demo
crats of Ibis country who are
elected as representatives of the
people, can be constructive legis
lalors in the interest of the pen
pie instead of obstructive and de
structive 'members of congress
It is with a profound feeling o
personal misgiving that I attempt
to prognosticate anything apper
taining to this campaign, bul
when you add two and two to
gether and recognize the fact that
lloosevelt is ripping the repub
lican parly up the back every time
he opens his mouth and that La
Folletle is tearing great holes in
the republican armor every time
he makes a speech, it isplain to
be seen that the republican parly
is in a bad way and that it is
gradually gelling worse. A re-

publican said to me today that
lloosevelt was out to destroy the
republican parly and it looked
very much to him as though he
were going to be a very successful
destroyer. It also looks that way
to every man in the capital of this
country who keeps his fingers on
the pulse of politics and his ear
to the ground listening to the
chocs that come from the vvar
ior. Writing this correspond
ing as I do and receiving the ex
changes of the newspapers in the
country who print it, I can come
pretty near making a decent guess
as to what is going on in the
minds of the people. It has taken
a long time for the people to
arouse themselves and do some
thing for themselves and at last
they have come to the conclusion
to get busy.
