Probably I hey are both right. It
looks t tint, way now to a dead

American labor will want to see
what's inside of a bounty-laden

come out and lake away the gifts.

!n. John I,. Webster of Oma
ha, one of Ihe staunch Taft, sup
porters of .Nebraska, says: "The
bull moose parly and Ihe repub
lican parly are as separate and
distinct as Ihe republican parly
and the democratic party. II, is
impossible lor a man of honor
and integrity to avow Ihe prin
ciples of two antagonistic,

reports from nearly every prom
inent f-eclion of l.lie country in re

various presidential' candidates.

shows Wilson and Iloosevell, in
Hie lead, with the odds greatly
in favor of Hie democratic can-

Julius l'il is making friends
wherever he goes. People nre
pleased with his general make-up,
and in conversal ion with him I hey
see in a moment Dial, lie is a gen
tleman and scholar and one in
every wny qualified for county
commissioner, one of the most re
sponsible positions in the gift, of

"the right man for Ihe right

The Sunday World-llerabl is
certainly a mammoth edition,
containing, as it does, over one
hundred pages, issued in honor of I '"' w'
Ihe Ak-Sar-lten. To. say the
least, if is a most creditable edi
tion and no doubt the greatest
ever emanating from the me
tropolis of Nebraska. The World
llerald is one of Ihe grealesl
newspaper in Ihe west, and Ibis
edition is but further evidence of
ils greatness. ,

The Journal can see no reason
for any democrat not voting for
Woodrow Wilson. He is one of
the ablest men in the nation, a
polished, cultured ami refined

There are many republicans in
the Kirs I congressional district
who will not vote for Paul (Hark,
simply because they do not be
lieve he is straight politically. .No
citizen likes to vole for a man
who is anything for the ollice.
Paul Clark is on both sides of the
fence in his race for votes, but
when Ihe returns come in he will
wish he had not carried water on
both .-.boulders. A man can be
honest in politics as well as any
thing else, but some people would

who was one of the seven gov

iiisi.-led on his coining' out for
Ihe republican nominal ion for

silent, since the Chicago conven

said something, lie is going to
support Tafl, and bids farewell to

that the governor of Nebraska
was also one of those seven, and
that he has not flopped over lo

l'lie voters of Cass county who
are acquainted with (he record of
Ion. W. H. Haiiiiiug cannot all'ord
o vole against him on .November
i. Senator Hauuiug has proved
his excellent qualities for Ihe
position by his good work in Ihe
senate, and he made a record in
Ihe legislature thai not only he
should be proud of, but his con
stituents should also be proud of
his good work. His influence was
as great as 'any other member of
the senate, and his advice was al
ways sought on measures up be
fore the senate before they were
acted upon. No citizen of Cass
county can justly find any cause
lo vote against Hon. W. II. Man
ning. :o:
A few days ago prime sirloin of

cents tier pound and in New lork
on the same day for L'H cents per

lon or 'JN ceuls in this country.
Owing to the blessings of a pro.
leclive tariff he gets whatever
the (rust is disposed lo give him,
a price that will enable Ibis bene-
oleut trust to haul Ihe meat to
the seaboard and across .1,000
miles of water and sell it at 'J
enls a pound less than it can be
sold for in our own country. Here
is a "blessing" that should set
both Ihe buer and producer of
meat lo thinking'.
No man or any set of men can
ever organize a trust who do not
want to deprive the people of the
opportunity o buy in a fair and
open market.

The republicans have com
menced scheming', and Tafl is
about to get the best of it in shuf
flintr of the cards. That's the way
it looks lo a man up a tree.

Kverjbody seems to be for
Morehead for gov ernor. The peo
ple want a reliable man for ehiei'
executive of Nebraska, and they
can have one in the person of I Ion.

:o:
H is not well to gel too optimis
tic, especially in elections. If you
are inclined to that sort of ail
ment just keep it lo yourself and
work that much harder for the
deniocral if ticket. Optimism
never gained anyone anything.
Hustling is what does Ihe busi
ness. :o:
Former Congressman W. P.
Hepburn of Iowa is quoted in the
Des Moines Tribune as follows:
"I shall not be surprised to see
Ihe democrats make a clean sweep
in November, So far as I am con
cerned, I will support no man
who will nol support the Iloose
vell ickel, and I think there are
many others of the same mind."

The average newspaper publisher
has plenty to do now, without con
gress placing this unnecessary
work upon his shoulders. If Ihe
newspaper fraternity lets Ibis law
remain without a general protest
there is' no telling what congress
may inflict upon lliem probably
a censorship, like they have in
Ilussia. Let every republican am
democratic newspaper secure a
promise from their candidates for
congress that they will vole to re

agreeing to support them. It is
an outrage, to say the least.

The republican national com
mittee is sending out a great deal
of rot in Ihe form of "boiler
plale" falsely assuming that (iov
ernor Wilson is a free trailer. Tin;
fact is, Mr. Wilson is very con
servative on the tariff question.
He maintains, however, that the

masses of consumers ought not to
be taxed more than will provide
