Vice President Marshall come and
rone.
:o:-
Therc is nothing in the world that
fails like failure.
Before long peace is going to be
regarded as a great adventure.
Many turn out and meet second
lady of the land Mrs. Marshall.
:o:-
The man who makes a fool of him
self is always a self-made man.
-:o:
Overcoats come handy this kind of
weather, especially if you use your
auto very much.
:o:-
Rather than patch up an old quar
rel, some people find it less trouble
to make a new one.
-:o:-
Even the fellow who gambles that
the unexpected is going to happen
may have to hedge.
-:o:-
It matters not how you may be
dressed, your manner and character
should speak for you.
-:o:
You never can tell. The early bird
sometimes merely scratches up the
worm for the late risers.
:o:-
Omaha has a wider spot on the map
than she ever had before, all because
she knows how to entertain the big
men of the country.
-:o:-
What do you think of having
Thanksgiving a week earlier this
year? Have it come on Thursday,
November 23, instead of the 30th.
That's the move now.
-:o:
There is something very much like
ingratitude in some big business op
posing .the re-election of President
Wilson just because he does not allow
them to dictate the policy of the
American government.
-:o:-
Thc Hughes republican managers
in the east are worked up over thG
magnificent reception President Wil
son received at Omaha, and all" along
the line to and from Nebraska: The
greatest on record, decidedly.
If there ever was a time in the his
tory of Nebraska politics when the
democratic party invites the' support
of all parties, that time is right now.
'With such men as Keith Neville, Ed
gar Howard and Willis E. Reed at the
head of the state ticket the party has
cause for their enthusiasm.
-:o:-
Thc New York Tribune, which can
boast of its long and unbroken record
of republicanism, in a special dis
patch from Omaha, describes Presi
dent Wilson's reception as a "phe
nomenon which, in the opinion of ob
servers, has seldom if ever been
equaled in this or other sections of
the country."
Will wc send strong men to the
legislature, who will stand for what
the people demand in the way of good
laws, or will we send weaklings who
will simply be something something
that will just be tools in the hands
of men who want them personally;
and will control them in their acU
during the session of the legislature?
Think of this matter now, before it i
everlastingly too late. John Murtey
is the right sort of man to send tc
the legislature, and he is just the
kind that will do something for Ne
Jbraska in the legislature.
WILL CANDIDATE SUTTON EXPLAIN?
The extremely interesting legisla
tive record of Abraham L. Sutton, re
publican candidate for governor, offers
many demands for explanation, for
"by their fruits ye shall know them,"
and this record seems, until explained
away, to mirror the character of the
man who wants to be made governor.
An investigation of that record dis
closes that in 1893, when a measure
was introduced to forbid railways giv
ing free passes, Mr. Sutton was one
of thirty-three members voting
against it. Time has disclosed that
the railroad pass was the lever
through which corporation control in
state and nation was long maintained
so rigidly that it was impossible to
secure any legislation in behalf of the
people.
In those days legislators were cheer
fully provided by the railroads with
passes for themselves and others.
Will Mr. Sutton explain in his
speeches to voters why he voted
against that biij, and whether or not
it was because it would deprive him
of a railroad pass for himself?
In the session of 1895, the law
shows, Mr. Sutton voted against a
bill requiring railroads to give free
transportation to shippers of live
stock, so that they might accompany
their shipments and care for such
stock.
Will Mr. Sutton tell the farmers
and stockmen whose votes he is ask
ing, whether or not the record is cor
rect as to his votes on these two meas
ures, both so meritorious that they
have since became the law of the
state?
Will he explain to these farmers
and others why he "voted against a
measure that would deprive him of a
pass, and then voted against a meas
ure that would provide a railroad pass
for the live stock shippers of the state
to whom they should of right go?
Will the farmers and live stock men
cf Nebraska ask Mr. Sutton to ex
plain these votes of his while in the
legislature?
And while doing it, will they ask
him why he voted for the railroads
and against the people in voting
against the Newberry bill for the es
tablishment of maximum railroad
rates? Lincoln Star.
:o:
The truth may be mighty, but
sometimes it has to leak out.
:o:-
Never hit a man when he is down
if you want to strike him favorable.
:o:
Even success must be handled with
care. Don't rest on your laurels un
less you are prepared to see them
wither.
:or
The average man marries only after
he has tried every other adventure
in the search for a thrill, and sudden
ly discovers that matrimony is the
only real novelty left.
-:o:
The fact still remains that by no
possible juggling of the figures can it
be disproved that the democratic ad
ministration of Nebraska affairs has
been wise, business-like, economical
and efficient. Nor, can it be doubted
that the election of Keith Neville and
his associates on the state ticket will
guarantee a continuation of just that
kind of administration.
-:o:-
The voters of the First congres
sional district know Hon. John A.
Maguire, and they know, too, that
while he was in congress the inter
ests of his constituents were well
looked after. He was faithful and stu
dious in their behalf, and should sure
ly go back to the place which he so
well filled. All members of congress
have a good word for John A. Ma
guire.
Come again, Mr. Marshall.
-:o:-
A half loaf is better than nothing
all the time.
:o:
It's what you don't know that keeps
you guessing.
:o:-
Attorney General Willis Reed is a
captivating spcakei-.
-:o:-
The man who has to be" humored
isn't much of a man.
:o:-
Every section of Cass county was
represented here to hear Vice Presi
dent Marshall.
-:o:-
"Take your choice. Vote for Wilson
and peace, or for Hughes and war,"
says Vice President Marshall.
-:o:
President Wilson is growing
strongsr every day. Pray, tell us,
what is there to prevent him?
-:o:-
You, too, Governor Morehead, and
bring Attorney General Reed, John
Maguire and Edgar Howard with you
If Villa had been buried every time
he was reported dead it would take
several square miles of cemetery to
contain his graves.
:o:-
Those who heard Vice President
Marshall speak Tuesday afternoon
were mighty well pleased with it. He
certainly is a fine speaker.
:o:
"Things will never be the same
again," says one in fact, more than
one of the innumerable writers on
the war. But this need not disturb
anyone. Things never were the same.
:o:
Mrs. Marshall failed to accompany
the vice president to Plattsmouth, on
occount of illness, which was a great
disappointment to the ladies of the
city who had made arrangements to
entertain the second lady of the land.
During the past sixteen months
state bank deposits in Nebraska have
increased 40 per cent. And yet some
of our republican friends would make
it appear that the present administra
tion is harmful to the state's pros
perity. :o:-
Onc month yet till the election. Wc
will all be glad when the battle is
over, and the country is again settled
down to a routine of business again.
Politics is agravating to everybody
but an editor, and he is about the
only person that enjoys a lively po
litical campaign, and he does not like
it so well as some people think.
VIEW ON EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
. Republican politicians who want to
defeat Wilson regardless of the fact
that he has made the best president
since Lincoln are not mad because
President Wilson settled the railroad
strike. They are mad because he did
settle it. They wanted him to do the
wrong thing so they could use their
old slogan of strikes and hard times.
They hoped and grayed that the pres
ident von!d 'ns'-t upon impossible ar
1 itration so that the strike could go
i
n.
They condemn the overworked rail
road men because they wanted an
eight-hour day instead of ten hours.
They never said one word about the
railroad 'presidents who receive from
$25,000 to $100,000 per year, the high
salaried superintendents, etc. Their
sympathy all seems to be with the poor
railroads, and yet investigation has
shown that the real value of all rail
roads in the United States is about
$6,000,000,000, and that they are cap
italized in the enormous sum of $17,
000.000,000; that is, there $10,000,
000,000 of water in their stock, all of
which has been brought about by these
angelic railroad presidents who prefer
strikes and general anarchy rather
than consent to pay men a fair and
decent wage for their labors.
What they are mad at is that they
know Wilson has made a good presi
dent and because they know that
thousands of good republicans all over
the country are going to vote for Wil
son. Therefore they acMike men who
are in the losing game. Led by Mr.
Hughes, they scold and swear at the
achievements of President Wilson and
attempt to pick flaw's in minor matters
but never say a kind word concerning
hissuccesses. Chicago Herald.
ATTITUDE
LABOR.-
TOWARD
What has been the attitude of the
republican candidate for govcnio-: to
ward labor ?
The record is not prolific oi" acts
of friendship. Where he has had t gj
on record he iias not evince-i any de
cided partiality for the working man.
While he was in the leitiU'tuie
there was a sirike of the union prin
ters of Lincoln in progress. It af
fected certain newspapers that are
now lending their support to Candi
date Sutton. A resolution was intro
duced in the legislature wheieLy it
was sought to have that body record
its sympathy for tre striking printers
Mr. Sutton voted against that reso
lution. In the same : t sion a me isurt was
introduced to outlaw the employment
and importation of Pinkerton detec
tives as deputy sheriffs in time of
strikes and industrial troubles.
Mr. Sutton voted against that meas
ure, which was one earnestly sought
by the representatives of organized
labor.
Viewed from the union labor stand
point it was an important piece of
legislation, as it had been customary
in time of industrial trouble to have
outside detective agencies send into
the state a lot of irresponsible men
to be made deputy sheriffs.
There is a provision now in the
statute requiring the bonding of de
tectives operating within the state,
and another that forbids the employ
ment of persons as deputy sheriffs
who are not residents of the state.
These fulfill the purpose of the meas
ure against which A. L. Sutton as a
legislator voted in 1893.
But while "Mr. Sutton was voting
thus to defeat the wishes of organized
labor, he was not hostile in his votes
to all labor.
When a resolution was introduced
to strike from the state pay roll the
names of all extra legislative employes
"not needed by the house," he offered
a substitute providing that no one be
discharged except two janitors and
two clerks.
And when a resolution was intro
duced forbidding employes from car
rying away the property of the state
at the close of the session, a repub
lican practice that had long been a
scandal arid disgrace, Mr. Sutton val
iantly cast his vote against it. Those
who recall how, under the old repub
lican regime, members and employes
of the legislature used to carry away
to their homes the desks, chairs, cus
pidors, waste baskets, typewriting ma
chines and-other movable state prop
erty, will discern the merit in this ex
hibition of solicitude for state em
ployes. It is conceded that time enough has
entervened for many moral reforms
on the part of Mr. Sutton. Ask him
if he has experienced them. Lincoln
Star.
:o:-
Corn husking is now on. Y'oung
man, do you want a job?
It is now up to the candidates to
get busy and keep on getting busy
till election day, and then get out
and work till the polls close.
:o: :
Elihu Root says that universal mili
tary service is "essentially democrat
ic." And everybody knows what a
valiant champion of democracy Elihu
Root has been.
-:o:-
As Lieutenant Governor Pearson.
who claimed the populist nomination
for re-election, has withdrawn from
the race, leaving Edgar Howaid as
the democratic and populist candidate
for lieutenant governor, let us put our
shoulders to the wheel and boost the
Howard wagon right along to vic
tory.
It is looking dark for the demo
crats. With the California astrologer
predicting a landslide for Hughes, on
advices he is receiving from the stars,
along comes Chairman Beach of the
republican state corrfmittee with what
he claims is a letter from Senator
Wiltse, bringing equally cheerful Ne
braska news for the republicans. In
asmuch as Senator Wiltse was gath
ered to his fathers about two years
ago, this combination-of occult omens
is a little discouraging. Lincoln Star.

This is Tanlac Week.
' Nlore than seven million five hundred thousand bottles of Tanlac have been sold in the
United States in the two years since the first bottle was sold.
That fact alone is sufficient explanation why Tanlac Week should now be celebrated
in cities throughout the United States. The tremendous and unprecedent success of Tan
lac could not have been achieved without true merit. The 8,000 druggists who are giving
Tanlac their renewed endorsements by special displays this week know that they have be
hind them the unqualified endorsement of Tanlac by millions of satisfied customers.

tier, invigorant and revitalizer. .Its fame was instantaneous and it spread through the coun
try untl today it is known everywhere as The Master Medicine.
TRUE WORT 1-2 EXPLAINS SUCCESS
Tanlac's success is easily explained true worth. The tens of thousands of men and
women who have endorsed it praise it because they are grateful for the relief Tanlac has

ing from gas, dizziness and biliousness, kidney and liver troubles, pains in the stomach, the

health, vigor, ambition and strength, is enough to make people grateful.
Tens of thousands of people have said th at Tanlac is The Master Medicine. Tanlac
Wfeek therefore means something to them.
ENDORSEMENTS ARE REMARKABLE
Some of the endorsemtns of Tanlac are remarkable. They show that taking Tanlac
was a profitable investment for sick, weak, nervous, run-down men and women profitable
in more than one way. Some of the praise of Tanlac is in phrases that are written over and
over.
"I feel like a new man" "Tanlac has put me back on the payroll" "I never lay off
from my work since I took Tanlac" "I do twice as much work as I used to" "Tanlac has
made me feel,twenty years younger" "I wake up in the morning feeling fine now."
Many women have written, "I have my natural color back since I took Tanlac" "I
feel like a girl again" "My neighbors ask me what have I done to look so young and my
answer is Tanlac" "I feel like a different woman, my housework is a pleasure since I took
Tanlac"
Those are some of the expressions which tens of thousands cf men and women have
used, in statements praising Tanlac.
TANLAC MEETS A NEED
Prepared from a secret formula, purely vegetable and absolutely free from mineral
taint, Tanlac has met the need of a great reconstructive tonic to feed while it heals sick,
sore stomachs, to promote digestion, aid assimilation, induce healthy and normal func
tion of the digestive apparatus, and to build up health and strength in a natural way.
Throughout the vast world Nature has placed remedies for the healing of the nations.
