:o:
When you vide for Wilson and
Marshall you w ill he vol inn for
what ymi have been clamoring
for a change in Ihe running af
fairs of this government.
:o:
John J. (iust in will make an
able represenlal ive of Cass coun

he elected. F.very voter who de
sires n clear, level-headed man
to represent their interests in Ihe
legislature will vole for Mr. (Itis

Bear in mind that V. R. Hryan,
the honest old fanner, whom you

qualifications to do the business
required of him, and Jus is one of
Ihe best men in Cass rounty.
:o:
(iovernor Wilson can be elected,
and he will be elected. Hut this
is not enough. He should be elect

(here can lie no mistake as to the
meaning of the people's mandate.
He will go into office with a
democrat ie house, and if his ma
jority is large enough he will have

Senator Norris Uruvvn is now
proposed as fo successor to the

Norris is all right, if I hey w ant a

There is no truth in them or I hey

:o:
Business men of Chicago are
not frightened by the republican
calamity howl, intended lo scare
Ihe timid. They realize that in
the .election of (lovernor Wilson
to the presidency lies the safety
and prosperity for all classes.
:o:
Who was Paul Clark before he
went west to make his home and
returned to Lincoln especially to
run for congress? A corporation
attorney, and he is running he
cause lliey have use for him in
congress.
:o:
(ieorge W. .Norris, bull moose
candidate for United Slates seu
alor, is so hitler against Taft and
his supporters that slale candid
ales on the republican ticket shun
his meetings as much as possible,
lie addressed about .0(1, reports
say, at the Auditorium in Lincoln,
ami the candidates refused to sit
upon the slage from which he
spoke. It looks like Norris "is in
I he soup."
:o :
In considering the qualificnt ions
of each of Ihe applicants for the
presidency of the United States it
behooves us to take care to select
a man who will his able to act in
harmony with his assistants.
Without, doubt (lovernor Wilson
will be able to bring about the
much needed reforms because he
will have the undivided support
of a democratic congress.
:o;
The "scarecrow" sent out from
Omaha under Ihe signature of
Nathan Merriam, president of the
Mcrriam Millard Co., is a daisy,
in Ihe way of an effort to in
limidate voters. Like evcrvune
else who sends out such balder
dash, he is a man who expects to
"feather his own nest" a lillle
more in case .Theodore is elected
for the third term. His tommy
rot will miss wide of its mark
as it should.
:o:
l.x- lovernor Shallenberger is
as good a man as there is in Ihe
slate for United States senator.
He is able and fearless, and if
elected next Tuesday the people
of Nebraska can always depend
upon their interests being well
guarded in Washington. Then
go to the polls next Tuesday and
vote for a safe and sane man for
Ihe United States senate, in the
person of Hon. A. C. Shallen
berger.
:o: .
Paul Clark, bull moose candid
ale for congress, had hard work
to get anyone to preside at one
of his meetings the other night in
Havelock. One man selected sail
that he was a republican, and as
lie was not going to support Clark
he could not preside. The scrum
one asked said the same thing
Two or three others were solicit
ed before one could be induced lo
preside. This carrying water on
both shoulders won't go with the
people.
Be Sure and Read.
So much effort has been made
to bel'ou the fads relative to tho
submission of a workable initi
ative and referendum law that it
might be well to make them so
plain lli.it he who runs may read.
In the first place, there was no
division of sentiment upon the
one fact ttiat .Nebraska should
have such a law. Second, the only
division of sentiment was upon
the percentages that should be
lived for initiation, referring or
adopting constitutional amend
ments. is doubtless true, as
charged, I hat some reactionaries
sought lo minimize the good ef
Vct.s of the law by tixing the per
centages unreasonably high. II
is jul, as true that some over-en-lhusialic
advocates of the law
wauled to tlx the percentages so
low I liiil any fool proposil imi
could gel mi iiii' ballot. The
sensible Ihiug to do, then, was to
make I lie nerrculages reasonable.
-first, to permit of Ihe initiation
f good measures without too
much difficulty; second, to make
it reasonably dillicult to initiate
measures calculated to bring the
aw into ridicule; third, lo make
it reasonably easy to refer wit h-
nil. making it too easy and thus
leiinit the law to be brought into
disrepute. There was one ele
ment ostensibly enthusiastic for
the adoption of such a law. that
was so blindly partisan that il
sought, lo secure the enactment
of a measure that would he

charge the democratic legislature
willi being incompetent.
The bill as inlrodiifvil provided

Skiles ami Senator Morehead were
identical. The record shows that
every amendment adopted was
calculated to make what is admit
ted to be the very best measure of
its kind in any slale. It is so ad

and the governor of South Dakota.
In view of the attempt to deceive
the voters as to Senator More

necessary to refer to Ihe printed

Hon. W. It. Thinning should by
all means be re-elected to the
str.te senate, if the people of Cass
county desire an able and ener
getic worker (o represent them in
that body. The Journal appeals
lo its friends in every section of
Ihe county to be sure and vote for
Senator Dunning. Where will you
find another man who will serve
you better? No man can be elect
ed to either house or senale with
out making somo mistakes, but
Hill Manning has made less mis
takes than any man who ever
vtnt to the legislature from this
county. It is a duty that every
man owes to himself, to the
reputation of tho county and to
the honor of a faithful public
servant to go to tho polls next
Tuesday and vote for W. H. Manning.

The voters of the First con
gressional district, will return
John Maguire for another two
years because they know he has
done his duty and proved true to
ever proposition he has promised
the people.

man ami declares that the high
cost of living is largely caused by
Ihe lack of proper training of our
girls in colleges, (lirls learn more
about individual recipes for fancy
fudge than they do about making
a hatch of mullius for breakfast.
Remember how much more good
(lovernor Wilson can do for Ihe
common people as president of
Ihe United Steles if he can have
Ihe assistance of both a demo
cratic house and senate. Then how
necessary il is to vole for Shal
lei.l.erger for senator and John

-:o
I'aul Clark does iml claim to hi1
a republican. lie says himself
l.lial he is out and out for the
I bird parly, and can never affiliate
with the republican parly again.
Then no Tall supporler can con
sistently support Paul Clark for
congress. When you cast your
vole for Congressman Maguire
you will have supported a man
who has served his constituents
faithfully and well, and you will
know right where to find him at
all times.

FLOAT REPRESENTATIVE
Chas. 11. Husch of Nebraska
City is the nominee of the demo
cratic party for float represent
ative in the approaching session
of the legislature from the Eighth
district, comprising the counties
of Oloe and Cass. Mr. Husch
needs no introduction to the vot
ers of Otoe county, being person
ally known lo almost every citizen
pf this county. As deputy in the
office of the late Herman R.
Young, county clerk of Otoe coun
ty, and subsequently for two
terms himself county clerk of this
county, Mr. Husch discharged his
duties as a public officer in a
manner to win the unstinted
praise and commendation of the
taxpayers of all parties, and few
men have retired from a county
office with so unanimous a feeling
on the part of all citizens of the
county as is expressed in the
CHARLES H. BUSCH
familiar saying, "Well done, good
and faithful servant." At the in
sistence of many friends in both
parties, who recognize the value
of Mr. Husch's splendid business
ability, his intelligence in the
handling of public business, and
his high personal character, he
consented to become a candidate
for the legislature, and in this
wider field lo represent the peo
ple of Cass and Otoe counties in
Ihe important public duties con
nected with the making of pro
gressive laws for the people of
Ihe stale and the appropriation
of funds necessary for the con
duct of the business of the state.
For these duties no man is better
equipped by experience and ability
than Chas. II. Husch, and a de
served recognition of his previous
public services to the people of
this county should give him the
practically unanimous support of
the voters of Otoe county.
