The Chicajro Record cars: Candidate on the republican coun ty, legislative. eoagresonal and sanitary-district tickets three weeks ago Gfiess Doing Gccd Work Hor. Theo. Grless, candidate for au ditor, is getting around over the state at a pace which makes it certain that he will see most if not all the many thousands of German-American voters. He made a tour of the North Platte country the first of the month, where at hustings and rallies he gave the glad nand to thousands and received much encouragement. He finds the conditions inaicative of a sweeping fuj-ioa victory. His trip along the Re publican Valley and other localities confirms the most sanguine hopes of fusionists. Mr. Grless' visits make him friends wherever he goes. Those who are delinquent for sub scription snculd bear in mind that now is a good time to remit the amount due and include with it a dol lar for renewal. V ; GERMAN-AMERICANS tarire 'nmber Nominated by the Fuion forces for State and County Offices. "Straws show which way the wind blows," is an old saying, and a true one. If there were any doubt as to the attitude of the German-Americans this year on the questions of imper ialism and militarism, that doubt would vanish after a glance at the per sonnel of the fusion legislative tickets in the different districts The German Americans are .determined that . two anti-imperial.ist United States sena tors shall represent Nebraska for the next four and six years. They are also well pleased with the business-like ad mnlstration of state affairs by the fusionists. Accordingly, some of the best farmers and business men in the state, of German birth or parentage and American to the core, have been induced to accept fusion nominations for legislative honors. Following are brief sketches of a few of these candi- PAWNEE COUNTY. Second Representative District. Hon. C. G. Gottula, one of the two fusion candidates for legislative hon ors In the Second district, was born in a country village . in Wurttemburg, Ger Jiany, November 8, 1853. He re ceived there a fair school education up to the year 1867, at which time his parents came to America and settled near Freeport, 111. In the spring of 1868 the Gottula family came to Ne braska and located on a homestead. Young Gottula worked on the farm during the summer and attended dis trict school in the winter. The elder Gottula did not have enough work at home to keep his son employed all of the time, and the latter set out on his own account. By the time he was 23 years old he had saved enough money to buy a piece of land his present home. Mr. Gottula has several times served his precinct as assessor with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of his constituents. He was nominated for the legislature in 1894, but on account of death of his wife was unable to accept. Mr. Gottula is one of the substantial farmers of Pawnee county. He owns about 700 acres of land which he keeps in a high state of cultivation. He en joys the utmost confidence of his friends and neighbors, and, being on the side of those who uphold the Dec laration of Independence and the con stitution, his election is practically as sured. The republican candidates, Messrs. Wenzel and Scott, were members of the 1899 legislature, and we shall have occasion later to refer to their record as public officials. Mr. Wenzel and Mr. Gottula for a number of years worked hand in hand for the success of the democratic party and demo cratic principles, but the itch for office got the upper hand of Air. Wenzel and he deserted sold his birthright for a mess of republican, pottage in the shape of a nomination for county com missioner. LANCASTER COUNTY. Thirtieth Representative" District. Hon. Henry Schaal, the subject of this sketch, was born at Belleville, 111., 42 years ago, of German parentage. At the age of 16 years he entered a print ing office in his native town and worked there until he had learned the trade. After serving his apprentice ship, he worked In various cities and finally came west in 1881, establishing the Nebraska Siaats-Anzeiger. a Ger man paper, for Mr. Peter Karberg. Af Mr. Karberg's death in 1884 the Ne braska was sold to Henry Brugmann. and on the 10th day of October, 1887, to Mr. Schaal, who, together with Mr. August Esser, has since that time pub lished the paper. Mr. Schaal was nominated as a can didate for the house of representatives in 1886 on the labor ticket, but was defeated.' In the recent county con vention of the fusionists of Lancaster county, he was again nominated for representative, and without any solici tation on his part. Although Lancas ter county is normally several hun dred republican, yet under present conditions with a bitter fight being waged against the D. E. Thompson candidate, Mr. Schaal's chances of election are good, and if elected he will fill the position of representative to the credit ef every voter in his district. POLK, MERRICK AND NANCE.

O and 13th Sts., Lincoln; Neb. many in 1852, and is--now in his forty eighth year. He arrived in America in June,; 1S73, and settled on a homestead in Hackberry precinct. Polk county. After living on his farm for seven years he moved to Shelby, where he entered into the hardware business in 1SS0. This he continued until 1S95, and did a most flourishing and profit able business. He has always been a man of prominence in the upbuilding of Polk county, more especially of his home town of Shelby. For over twenty years he has held a position as member of the school Doard and been its treasurer for eighteen years. He is also the treasurer of the Polk-Butler County Farmers' Insurance . com pany. The village of Shelby has sought, the gentleman's service a num ber of times as one of its town trus tees. ' . ;:. - Mr. Krumbach allied himself with the democratic party when he came to America and has voted that ticket at all times in each succeeding elec tion. He is an enthusiastic supporter of W. J. Bryan on the money ques tion and anti-imperialism - especially. He says that he is among the large number who left their . home land to escape the evils of militarism and all that goes with it and he does not de sire to see the present efforts of changing our form of government pre vail in this country. Of his family, three brothers were in the regular army and had it not been for our can didate leaving his home when he did he would have been compelled to have spent at least the prime of his life In the service of the standing army.

Here 150,000 starving republicans, bound like slaves by the party they vote for, are wrestling earnestly with the problem of Mr. Hanna's full din ner pail. - Let us see how full the Pennsylvania-miner's pail really is. The re publican coal trust boasts of the fact that it pays its men $1.60 per day where it formerly paid $L40 or less. But when the miners were working for; $1.40 a day they worked full time. They now work only three days a week, for about J54.80. Mining powder is manufactured for about 80 cents a keg. The miner is forced to buy it from the republican coal trust for $2.75 a keg a profit of over 300 per cent- The miner is required to trade at the "company store" on orders signed by. the cashier. He is thus forced to pay from 20 to 100 per cent more for the necessaries of life than he would pay at an outside store. But if he does not patronize the "company store" he is discharged without money or character. Do you see the handi work of democracy in this? The law calls for the semi-monthly pay of the miners. The republican coal trust, in spite of the law, pays them monthly. Eight hours is the usual legal day's work. The republican coal trust forces its 150,000 slaves to work ten hours. A ton of coal in the mining regions is legally reckoned at 2,240 pounds. The republican coal trust forces its victims to dig as much as 3,360 pounds for a ton. Injunctions are obtained by the masters to prevent outside butchers from selling meat to the la borers. - The miners live in trust houses cost ing about $250 each. For these they pay a rent amounting to 22 per cent of the value of the house. " Thus the great- republican trust, so harassed by democratic persecution, profits about as follows: House rent as compared with house value, per cent 22 Excess prices of company stores, per cent.. 40 Profits on powder extortion, per cent.. ,300 Extra time of miners enforced la- ' bor per day, per cent 25 Extra illegal weight of coal per ton, per cent. 25 Ayerage miner's wages per week of three days $5.00 Is it any wonder that with all these merciless percentages to contend with there are thousands of miners who do not receive a3! much as ten cents cash in wages from one year's end to the other? ... We commend these facts to the at tention of the Hannaites and the rabid portion of the republican press. The democrats have nothing whatever to do' with the Pennsylvania republican coal trust. They have brewed their own mess of pottage and must stand to it. Of course the miners will continue to vote the republican ticket this fall, simply because they have to. They should remember, however, that their ills have not been brought about by the policy or plans of the democratic party.
