A ' 1 ileal i being made of it,
bui tlo re should be no great won

a coiifeienee with an automobile
manufacturer. Everybody else is
doin it.
Can a candidate consistently
ask for democratic support al
the primary i-lectiou who has
boa-ted that be never voted a
straight democratic ticket in his
life? le certainly possesses his
share ftf -gaiil."

Chairman !'. P. Corrirk oT Ihe
l'iouressi e state central com
mittee and I. M. Currb of the
stand-pal central committee, are
l.a ing r war of word as to which
element of t!ie republican party
i- "it"' in Nebraska. From pres
ent judical ions they are both lia
ble to "get it in Ihe neck."

Kearney Democrat: "County
after county has been declaring in
favor of (Governor Morehead to

ceitainly looks like Covernor
Morehead would succeed himself.

Some have suggested that the
Failed States is rather exacting
ab 'iit the proposed terms of peace
in Mexico, being only a spectator

Democratic Committee to Meet.
The Democratic County Com
mittee of Cass County is hereby
called to meet at Weeping Water
Neb., on Saturday, July 18, 191 i
at 11 o'clock a. m., for the pur
pose of calling Primaries anc
County Convention, at which
Primaries and Convention dele
gates will be selected to' county
and state convention, and such
other matlerv as may come be
fore the Committee.

Chairman.

voting habit.

Keep the weeds down and have
less Hies to swat.
:o:
Tuesday, August IS, is the pri
mary election. Keep a moving,
boys.
:o :
JIuerta does not get much
chance now to execute anybody
except his own friends.
:o:
All candidates are satislied with
their chances for nomination.
That's the way to feel.
:o :
A politician hasn't any use lor
a man, and a man hasn't any use
for a dog unless be owns it.
The more prominent a man is
the greater the likelihood of his
being arresled for violation of
speed ordinances and game laws.
:o :
Mr. Jones of Chicago will not
sere as a member of the Federal
Ite-cive Hoard. The United
States senate says "nixev,"' Mr.
Jones.
What this country needs with
reference to its roads, is a little
less .scientific experience applied
and a little more horse sense and
labor.
:o--
Maybe Senator Hitchcock does
not want to be re-elected. If he
does, he had better light shy of
joining the republicans in any
more slaps, at President Wilson.
:o:
Governor Morehead is becom
ing nmre and more every day the
favorite of the voters of Nebraska
for governor. His excellent rec
ord as governor is what is doing
the work with the people.
.o :
"Remove the band concerts to
Ihe park," is the universal cry of
those who love to attend. The
park is high and breezy. And it
von't offend the manager of the
Air Dome in Ihe least.
:o:
The bridge south of town,
where so many accidents have
happened, needs Ihe direct atten
tion of Ihe counly commission
ers. The bridge i orally loo (dose
to the turn in Ihe road tor safety,
and if there is any possible way to
change the current of Ihe stream
it should be done. Something
must be done or the county may
have a damage suit on its hands.
:o :
The thriving little city of Ne
hawka deserves great credit for
possessing the liveliest bunch of
citizens of any town of its inches
in the stale. They take the lead
in road improvement, and the
roads in their immediate vicinity
are in beller condition than in any
olher section in Cass county. And
now' I hey propose to put up an
auditorium to cost $15,000. You
have to be a hustler to live in Ne
hawka. They won't put up with
any drones in that community.
CAN'T COMPROMISE THIS.
It will probably take the in
genuity of the courts to determine
to which of the two, the repub
lican or bull moose parties, wil
belong tile privilege of naming
the minority members of boards
of election throughout the stale
this fall.
Through the election of Gover
nor Morehead two years ago the
democrats won the right under
the statutes to name a majority o
the members of most of these
boards. The law seems to spe-
cilicially allot to the politica
parly casting the highest vote on
the head of Ihe state ticket the
right to name a controlling mem
bership in each election board, the
vote in each precinct governing
in that precinct only.
It also provides that the party
casting the next highest vole on
the head of the state ticket shall
have the privilege of appointing
the minority members.
What it will lie necessary to
find is someone who can tell sonii
way of determining whether tin
republicans or Ihe progressives
cast the most voles for governor.
It is not going to be an easy
question, to determine, inasmuch
Chester II. Aldrich, progres
sive republican, was the nominee
f both the progressives and the
republicans. It is quite easy lo
conclude, however, that a ma
jority of the votes cast for Gov
ernor Aldrich were those of pro-
ressives.
It is a matter of common
nowledge that thousands of reg
ular republicans voted againsl
lim. Incensed by the proceed
ings in the republican state con
vention, when the Roosevelt sup
porters who chose lo remain in
the republican party captured
ontrol of the convention and at
empled to out-moose the third-
party progressives, thousands of
egular republicans Hocked to
the Morehead standard as a re-
uke to Aldrich and his near
moose organization.
The vole for president dis
hsed that the progressives of
the third parly and the progres
sives of the republican party to
gether far outnumbered the reg
ular republicans, the ratio being
L0tH for Roosevelt and 5 5,000
for Tall, and according to Ihe de
rees of Ihe courts in the litiga
i'n that ensued to establish the
status of Hie republican facions,
the Taft republicans must be con
sidered the faction entitled up to
late to Ihe party name.
If the statute provided that the
privilege of naming the minority
f the election officials should go
o the political party casting the
econd highest number of votes,
the problem would be easy- to
olve. It would go to the progres
sives in view of their 7 ()( voles
for Roosevelt. The provision that
it must be determined by the vote
on the head of the stale ticket is
the stalling point.
Of course Ibis dillicully might
be cured by agreement if Ihe
moosers happened to be in a
mood to agree. This is one com
plication that cannot be com
promised by an agreement be
tween Chairman Epperson of the
progressive republican faction
and Chairman Currie of the reg
ular republican faction, for
neither of them represents the
progressive parly.
Right here is where Chairman
Coi-rick of Ihe- progressives gets
aboard. Chairman Epperson has
compromised away about eery
thing else for the progressives,
but he cannot turn this over to
any republican harmony junta if
the third party progressives pro
test, to the extent of a resort to
Ihe courts, unless some court is
found ready and willing to take
the bits in its tf-eth and determine
the question arbitrarily in favor
of the republicans.
Probably any such arbitrary
determination as that, in the face
of the showing of relative
strength of the antagonistic
parties in the last election, would
not strengthen the republican
cause appreciably. Lincoln Star.

Teddy's throat malady permits
him to speak when he wants to
and to remain silent when silence
seems to be preferable.

The mediators could hardly be
blamed if they decided to hang
around Niagara Falls all through
the vacation season.

We are enjoying some genuine
good old summer weather right
now, but don't strike the man who
asks: "Is it hot enough for you "
:o:
Ihe National Educational As
sociation has almost as much
trouble in electing officers as th
Daughter of the American Revolu
tion.
: o :
If your fealty is only ollire-
deep. then vou amount to but.
precious little to the body
politic. What the counlrv
needs is men with ideas and tin
ackbone to stay with them, liki
President Wilson.
Teddy Roosevelt has resig:ie
us position as editor of The Out-
ook. Possibly that name did not
mil him. Had it been the Inlook
and he the cenlerpiece. il might
iae been different.
:o:
If every man who runs for olliee
oubl see beforehand just how he
siamis wan tne voters, there
would be only one man to conn
out for each olliee. As if is, sonn
f the fellows will have to con-
Iude that there is a lot of liars
nnong the voters.
:o:
Congressman William E. Hum
phrey ot Washington want:
'resident Wilson to declare hiui-
lf oil the suffrage question
lumphrey has no business to
pies! ion the president's standing
ui such mailers. And it is not
cry courageous in a person like
lumphrey to possess such
uidacily.
:o:
W. H. Price, democratic caiuli
ale for congress, is evidently
making a vigorous campaign for
the nomination. If hustliutr will
accomplish anything, Hilly will
get there with both feet. He is a
much abler man than the fellow
thai has tried to represent the
district for the past six years.
Then, three terms is enough for
any man.
:o:
The Waters-Pierce Oil Com
pany, through their agent in
Mexico, has attempted to put the
Wilson administration in bad
light. People who know Ihe
character of the men that con
trol this company will give their
statements lillle attention. If
such companies as Ibis could get
this country into war with Mexico
and many of our young men kill
ed to proleet (heir ill-gotlen mil
lions, they would be supremely
happy.

Surprising Cure of Stomach
Trouble.
When you have trouble with
your stomach or chronic con
stipation, don't imagine that your
case is beyond help just, because
your doctor fails to give you re
lief. Mrs. C. Slengle, Plaintiebl,
N. J., writes: "For over a month
past I have been troubled with
my stomach. Everything T ale
upset, it terribly. One of Cham
berlain's advertising booklets
came to me. After reading a fow
of the letters from people who had
been cured by Chamberlain's Tab
lets, decided to try them. I have
taken nearly Ihree-fourlhs of a
package of them and can now eat
almost everything that I want."
