NORRIS BROWN ALL RIGHT
Disreputable Democratic Du
plicity Disclosed.
Apropos of the attack upon Norris
Brown, our candidate for U. S. sena
tor, which appeared in the Times-In
dependent of last week, and which is
but a rehash of something that has
been successfully refuted since, we
append the letter below from Chair
man Rose of the Republican State
Committee. We feel sure Bro. Brown
was led into error in publishing same
or he would not have given it space:
To the Editor of the Northwestern:
I ask space to give the facts con
cerning the false roport that Norris
Brown, republican candidate for Unit
ed States Senator, was indebted to the
insolvent Kearney National bank, at
the time its affairs were settled, on
notesdue for money deposited therein
by former State Treasurer Bartley,
and that the state lost its money
through Brown's repudiation of his
notes. Robert Payne of Nebraska City
was receiver and settled the affaire
of this bank. He is a lifelong demo
crat. and his integrity is known
throughout the state. To learn the
exact truth 1 wrote him as follows:
Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 17, 1906,—Dear
Sir: It has been reported that Norris
Brown had certain unpaid notes in
your bands as receiver of the Kearney
National Bank at the time of the
bank's failure and your settlement of
its affair: that he borrowed the money
f>om state funds deposited by former
State Treasurer Bartley: that the
state deposit wa- -36.000, which tic
state lost because Norris Brown did
not pay liis notes, one amounting to
$35 an i the other to $255. Will v.ni
please give me the facts in regard to
this matter? Very respectfully.
L oill.
• Dm. Kep. state < >-u.
To t)ii' Mr. Payne replied:
Nebraska City. N b. < vt. IT. !:• ;.
Mr. VV. If. Rose. Clr: is i: :»n IP-, in -:i in
State Central Committee. >. ,.r Sir.
Among the assets f tlm Kenney >
iona! Hank, plated in my hands" as re
ceiver. were notes amounting to about
*300. signed by Norris Brown. These
notes had no connection whatever
with tiie deposit of - '.Ooo by .. s-State
Treasurer Hartley. As i recollect the
facts, they are al<out as follows: Norris
Brown owed the bank a-above stated.
He claimed the bank owed him an ac
count as attorney’s fees, and wished
to offset his indebtedness to the bank
by the bank's indebtedness to him.
Equitably, it looked to me as though
such a compromise would be just.
These notes, with other assets of the
bank, were duly advertised for sale in
the Kearney Hub, and sold with other
assets of the bank in March. 1898.
1 do not recollect who bought the
notes or the amount paid for them.
A commonsense interpretation of the
transaction would be that Brown re
ceived from the Kearney National
Bank for services, as claimed by him.
an amount equal to the difference
between the face value of his notes
and the amount paid for the notes at
public auction. Yours very truly,
Robert Payne.
That Norris Brown did not owe the
Kearney National Bank, nor the state
of Nebraska, any sum whatever at the
time the affairs of uhe bank were
settled, was shown in a recently pub
lished interview with N. P. McDonald,
present connty attorney of Buffalo
county, who was familiar with the
facts. The truth was also published
by Robert Payne, receiver, in an in
terview given to the Nebraska City
Daily Tribune, October 8, 1906.
Without making inquiry of Mr.
Payne to ascertain the facts, and dis
regarding the truth which had been
published; T. S. Allen, chairman of
the democratic state central com
mittee, lias been diligently publishing
and circulating throughout the state
anonymous handbills containing this
false report. 1 appeal to every fair
minded man, regardless of party affil
iation. to resent the disreputable
methods employed by the democratic
state central committee in their ef
forts ro defeat Norris Brown and pre
vent regulation of freight rates by the
election of a democratic legislature.

Tuesday afternoon of t his week oc
curred the much advertised but very
slimly attended fusion rally at the
opera house, in which W. H, Thomp
son. “Little Giant," the fusion candi
date for U. S. senator, was to lie the
principal attraction, with Frank Bea
man of Kearney, former republican,
and J. E. Johnson, fusion nominee
for state senator to lend dignity!?) to
the occasion. At about an hour past
the designated time fort lie grand en
tree, and with 23 persons, all told, in
cluding the speakers, present, the
meeting was called to order bv John
Minshull who introduced F. E. Beaman
as the first speaker. Frank began bv
saying he felt a little out of place in
such company and then launched out
in a tirade of abuse and vilification
of the republican candidate for state
senator and of oth -r Buffalo countv
republicans that wasa’umt as refresh
ing to his intelligent hearers as are

amid a stillness, so dense you could
almost cut it with a knife! Frank's
last sore is his defeat for the republi
can nomination for state senator from
Sherman and Buffalo counties, but
having been a standing and unsuc
cessful candidate for some office for
years he is so covered with old
political sores he has He wn to Dame
Democracy in hopes of some healing
or at least soothing lotion. He was
followed by Mr. Thompson in a digni
fied, scholarly address, in the midst
of which the announcement of the
arrival of his train cut the meeting
short, and the crowd, now augmented
to 47 persons, fhlly two-thirds of
which were republicans filed out. It
was by far the chilliest reception ever
given political speakers within our
memory, even the names Washington,
Lincoln, Jackson, McKinley, Roose
velt, LaFollett or, the saints be mer
ciful, the great Bryan, failing to cre
ate the least applause. Oh, it was icy!

much for it. whether you get all the heat out of it or not. If a stove wastes
the fuel and only a part of the heat is extracted, vour fuel bills are higher
than they should be. It is
therefore protitabe for you to

A BUNCH TO START-A BUNCH TO FINISH!
The other kind^not t he DiU'htield Spreader—does this class of work.
Every manure spreader should have a good substantial end-gate between the
load and the beater wheel. This end-gate is necessary to keep the load
away from the wheel until this wheel is put in motion. If this end-gate or
••tail-gate" does its work properly, the distribution will be the same on the
start as at any other time.
Tire packing of the manure against the beater wheel while hauling the
loaded spreader to the field is what causes the big bunch when the machine
first starts. To avoid this bunching, the Litchfield Spreader uses a solid
end-gate that will hold the load, not simply a comb or springs, because a
heavy load cannot be kept away from the wheel witli spring teeth. A mov
able wheel or spring teeth designed to take the place of a solid end-gate will
not work on fine manure or manufactured fertilizer. All spreaders should
have a solid end-gate like the "Litchfield’; uses, to keep the load in the box,
whether it is fine or coarse and hold it there until the spreader is ready to
distribute in the field.
We do not want to discredit other machines, that do good work after
the first bunch is dumped on the ground, but we want to tell our trade that
the Litchfield Spreader does universally good work, right from the start
and that this is one of the many reasons why this spreader is, entitled to the
careful investigation of our customers.
If a spreader is used to haul a load any consideiable distance or if used
over rough roads, or on up-hill grades, the tendency of the load is to crowd
bock and pack against the rear. An end-gate (not an excuse for one) is just
gs necessary as it is in a farm wagon. Like the other necessary features for
a modern spreader, this takes a prominent place a prominent place on the
Litchfield machine.
We have explained why a rear end-gate or tail-ga te is a necessity to pre
vent bunching; and next week we are going to tell you about another end
gate proposition that also has much to do with bunching. We are pretty
busy taking care of business on our other iines, as well as spreaders, but we
are going to try and find time to post our patrons on this machine.
