be Ihe best ever held in Nebraska.

Teddv must be given credit for
some truths. What be says of
Woodrow Wilson being a splendid
man would denote that part.

It looks lo n man up a tree like
the bull inoosers were deserting
Roosevelt every day and going
over to Tafl. Pretty soon you will
note them going in droves.
Will iMaupins Weekly is ar

appear on Labor day.
:o:
JSow I hat the regular republican
party has no candidate for gov
ernor, can the friends of President
Taft be prevailed upon lo vote for
Aldrich, after saying Unit Ihe
president, was a disgrace to Ihe
partv and that he could not and
1 'i
woultl net support him under any
r
circumstances?
J hero should lie a muzie
placed on those democrats up
around Lincoln who are talking
too much Willi Hieir mounts, x iu1

show for victory lhat there were
not some professed democrats in
Lincoln that did not try to spoil
(he whole business.

When a man leaves his party
because, he is mad al someone
within the parly ranks, he is not
much of a politician. That is no
way lo do. You have as good a
right lo bo a democrat as your
enemy has, and maybe ho would
delight in seeing you leave. Stay
right where you are and "light it
out if it takes all 6ummer." To
leave the party is too much like
"cutling your nose off to spite
your face."

I'os.-ibly il is true that the stork
doesn't have to work as hard as he
used to, hut there are a number
of others in that class also.
When Aldrich remarked the
other dav, "It looks like Wilson,"
he might as well have went a lit
tle farther and said, "It looks like
Morehead," also.
:o:
Judge Holmes is not at all
meally-inoutlied in speaking out
in meeting and tells the bull
inoosers right where to head in,
and seems right hot under the col
lar, too, at their demands.

The Vermont election comes off
September 3 and it is going to be
quite a mixed up affair two re
publican candidates and one
democrat ic candidate for gov

Less hoi air in the governor's

:o:
(Iovernor Johnson of California,
mull moose candidate for vice
president, will speak during the
stale fair at Lincoln. There is
lalk of 1,avin Mr' nryan tlp,'ak
on the same day and from the
same platform. That would make
it interesting.
Lincoln is big enough lo have a
half dozen Wilson and Marshall
clubs. Then what's the use of
cutting up about who organized
the first one? No matter who the
organizers are, so they are demo
crats anil are for Wilson and
Marshall.
:o:
Roosevelt says the bull moosers
must act independent of the Taft
followers in all the states, and in
Nebraska they nre paying but lit
t le heed lo his orders, and are still
at work trying to "rope- in" Ihe
Taftiles to support the stale can
didates, all of whom are afraid to
even say a good word for the
president.
:o:
The democrats in congress are
to be congratulated upon their ef
forts to see (hat everything is done
up right before they adjourn. The
country is with I bent in this ef
fort, and while there has been
much good work done, there
would nave teen more had i not
been for the veto power of the
president.

hvays m'"v,,tl vmfail lif ill to Hit
'"''orors of Ihe country, in office
ami out of otlice. Did he ever
speak one word in their behalf?
Not much. They are getting too
wise to lie caught by "ehafi
thrown to them by such fellows
as Roosevelt.
:o:
Judge Holmes of Lincoln says
Unit if the Roosevelt and Taft
committees do not got together
the democrats aro assured
victory in Nebraska. The masses
of the party-are so split up that
simply the committees getting to
gothor is not going to get them
anything. Thero aro many dis-
guested republicans that will vote
the democratic ticket anyway.
The democratic state com
mittee will have headquarters on
the state fair grounds at Lincoln,
where all democrats are invited
who attend the fair.
If (iovernor Wilson does invite
the democratic editors to Sea
Girt we don't see how we can at
tend. We haven't the cash to pay
railroad fare ami it's too far to
walk.
:o:
There seems to be too much
talking in the democratic ranks,
and it is not among the rank and
tile, either. Don't do it unless it
is in tin; right direction. Let the
republicans and bull inoosers do
the talking and we'll do the vot
ing. R. L. Mel cat fe says he is
through running for ollice; that
no one ever asked him lo run for
governor on the third party ticket,
and that lie would not accept, a
nomination for office, at the hands
of any party. That ought to set
tle the question.
:o: :
Hon. John H. Morehead, demo
cratic candidate for governor, and
Judge Travis will deliver ad
dresses at the Old Settlers' re
union at Union next Saturday. If
you want to see the next governor
of Nebraska be sure to attend the
reunion on Saturday.
:o:
Congressman Maguire is slill in
Washington at his post of duty.
John has proved a faithful rep
resentative of Hit! people of the
First district and Ihe voters un
derstand his detention at the
capital ami will support him for
re-elect ion because of his ability
and faithfulness.
:o:
Paul Clark is not the kind of a
man that the people of the First
congerssional district want in
congress. He has always been a
tool of corporations, and if elect
ed, will prove faithful to them,
while the farmers and people in
general have been truly represent
ed by Hon John A. Magnire,
:o:
(Iovernor Hadley, right-hand
supporter to Roosevelt in the re
publican national convention, is
going to stump the country for
Taft. Next thing you know Aldrich
will make another flop ami go wvor
to Tafl. If he thought it would re
elect hiin there is no question
about il. He knows no parly
principle.

in claims. He returns to Chicago
from the fast with the claim that
Taft will not carry a single New
Fnglaml state, while Hilles says
Roosevelt will not carry a single
slate, (treat minds will differ, ytui
know. The democrats are making
no claims, but slill keep on "saw
ing wood."
:o:
One of the interesting problems
if our Nebraska political situa
tion relates to whether C. II.
Manuel, one of (iovernor Aldrirh's
non-polil ical appointees, and his
leam-mnte, J. L. MeHiieu, will be
able to so hobble the third lertn
mil moose party as to land it in
Ihe Aldrich stables. That is, of
course, their alloted job, and the
question is, can they do it while
the bull moose himself wants a
party ticket of his own in each
stale? Lincoln Star.
:o:
Fall t ratio promises to be belter
than for years. Will Hie increast
trade in your community go to
the homo stores or will it go to
the mail-order houses? Takes
bead work and lots of it to keep
trade at homo, but it can be done

merchants of Plattsmouth
aro doing all in their power to
keep trado at home, and, to a great
extent, they are doing it, too. Am:
it is a fact worthy of note that the
merchants who offer inducements
through the porper channel, the
newspaper, are doing the busi
ness, also. ,
No, congress has not adjourn
yet, but it expects to before very
many days.
:o:
Prior to the bull moose national
convention it was proclaimed, and
never denied, that the Roosevelt
campaign had cost 3, 000,000.
Now be is going to take- another
trip covering pralically every state
in the union. Vet all George Per

The old saying that "misery
loves company" is evidently true
with the bull moose party in Ne
braska. Not satisfied with dis
rupting the republican parly, they
are now trying awful bard to get
up a muss in the democratic
ranks. Hut wei believe they are
losing some of their valuable time
in their efforts. While the demo
crats are pretty well harmonized,
they might be better.
:o:
The Lincoln Herald stands good
for this: "A movement is said to
be on fool in this district to put a
republican on the ticket for con
gress, by petition. This for re
publicans who want a republican
to vole for, since Paul Clark has
left the party and gone over to the
bull inoosers. The old line re
publicans are prelly sore on Mr.
Clark ami this seems to be one of
their ways of expressing them
selves." :o:
Charles F.lliolt, president of
Harvard university, is one of the
prominent supporters of Wood-
row Wilson. The noted educator
has usually voted the republican
ticket, but says lit! cannot support
Taft, and he believes the new
party to be a one man affair with
things and which would entail the
expenditure of a lot of money.
Some of the attractions would
alone cost the price of a season
ticket.
:o:
The newspaper man that always
keeps his hands outstretched for
"pie" as a bid for support, wield
but very little influence among the
voters in a campaign. When a
candidate for ollice, be he demo
crat r republican, supports his
party papers instead of those who
are dimply "out for the money
there is in it," fare a great deal.

All records for high-priced
steers were broken at the South
Omaha market last week, when
two lots' of Nebraska-fed steers
were sold for !?10 and .$10.35 re

captured both prizes. J. Thorman
of Klgin sold a lot of forty-six
that averaged over 1,500 pounds,
for $10 Hat, and the next day an
other Nebraska lot went for
$10.35. The latter price was t
highest ever recorded, and con
sidering the differential in freight
rales, is 35 cents, higher than
feeders ever sold for on the Chi
cago market. Hoth lots were, corn

sales have made shippers sit up
and take notice all over the Uniter

prizes, another evidence of the
