States senators by direct vote of the
people.

Each Republican should vote Nov.
6th.
^republican candidates are pledged
to reduce freight rates.
A vote fox Sheldon. Nov. 6th. will
be a vote to reduce freight rites.
Vote for R. P. Starr for county at
torney. He is thoroughly competent.
A vote for Carle T. McKinnie for
the Legislature. Nov. 6th, will be a
vote to reduce freight rates.
Reduction of freight rates will in
crease the > alue of crops and of the
land on which the crops are raised.
A vote for Carle T. McKinnie for
the Legislature, Nov. 6tli, will be a
vote for Norris Brown for United
States Senator.
It is more profitable to reduce
» freight rates by voting the Republi
can ticket than to spend election day
; in the corn field.
A reduction of six cents per bushel
in the freight rate on corn would in
crease the value of the com crop
more than 62.00 per acre.
! R. M. Thompson, republican candi
I date for state senator was here yes
; terday. A vote for him means a vote
for Norris Brown for U. S. ; senator.
Through the neglect of the proper
officers, the republican nominees of
Loup City township were not certi
fied to the county clerk, hence could
not be placed on the ballots. This is
sincerely to be regretted and unless
republican voters remember to write
the names in will result in the elec
tion of tne populist tbwnship ticket.
Don’t forget this, you republicans of
r Loup City township.
The democratic candidate for Unit
ed States senator complains that the
voters are not turning out this year
as they used to do to hear the issues
discussed. This is undoubtedly true
so far as "Little Giant" Thompson is
concerned, and for several reasons.
First of tiiese that he lias become an
old and tiresome story to Nebraska
voters, and in the next place they are
not greatly interested in what the
democratic candidates have to say
this year.
The republican, democratic and
populist state conventions having en
dorsed tne proposed railway commis
sion amendment, every straight ticket
of those parties will bo counted for
the amendment. The prohibition and
socialist conventions did not endorse,
hence it will be necessary for those
who vote those tickets, as well as
every voter who "scratches" his party
ticket, to mark a cross ift the square
after the word "Yes" following the
amendment proposition.
It is needless to warn the average
voter to look out for campaign roor
backs just previons to election day.
There was a time years gone by, when
it was thought to be the proper thing
for newspapers to wait till the last
issue before election and then spring
a whole lot of stuff against the oppo
sition candidates too late to be an
swered by the other political fellows.
Thank goodness, however, that way
of doing has teen superseded by more
decent methods and now if you see
campaign stories circulated "at the
last moment they are universally con- j
ceded to be false and malicious and j
given circulation at a time when they
know there is no time for refutation.
This the average voter knows, and
the pirates who dwell on this method
of campaigning receive little credence
from the thinking voter. Pay no
attention to stories circulated at the
last moment, be they from whatever
source.
A vote for the fusion candidates!
for state representative or senator is!
a direct vote for party policies that!
caused such widespread ruin and dis-[
aster in 189»i. Remember those times.!
don't you? Rains fell and the sun
shone and crops nourished in those ]
days, didn't they? There virtually j
and really was "corn to burn" that ]
fall, now wasn't there? Corn was;
worth 8c a bushel and thousands of
bushels of it was actually burned by
the people of the prairie states. There
were. 3,000,000 idle men in the coun
try. How many is there today? It
would take a long time to assemble !
3000 who wanted work and are idle.
Ruin stalked abroad in the land.
Business of all kinds was at a stand
still. w hen McKinley was elected and
republican policies were again inaug-1
urtted and w hat is the result? The ;
country never enjoyed more prosperity
farmers and business taen. laborers-^ 1
all. are prospering, all save the pro
fessional democrat politician looking
for a job. Let's let well enough alone
and let him continue to look. Eh?
The Northwestern has refrained
from shying mud castorsat opposition
candidates in the campaign now7 about
o.’er. We recognize that belonging to
this party or to that party does not
rrake such nominees bad men or un
worthy support. We recognize only
that a vote for nominees of various i
parties means a vote in favor of the
principles represented by such parties
hence the Northwestern has advo
cated principles rather than men and
asked you to vote for republican
nominees on these grounds, claiming
for our nominees good cliaraceer. up
rightness and competency in addition,
nor disclaiming that the opposition
nominees have the same good char
acter and other attributes, yet basing
our plea for the election of our men
as representing our party principles
more than for any other reason.
Hence the Northwestean rises again
to ask your suffrage for the straight
republican ticket as not only made up
of worthy and competent men, but as
representing the principles of the
greatest and best party the sun shines
upon. Vote the republican ticket
straight.

You know that for fifty years most farmers have considered the
Studebaker the best farm wag' n on earth.
Youknowthat the Studebaker factory at South Bend is the largest
r wagon factory in the v.orld. °
You know that more Stuih bah'r vrjgons aro sold every year than (
most manufacturers make in ten y ars. '
But did you ever stop to consul-:- sty!
We couldn't sell the Studebaker in increasin'? numbers everv rear for fiftv
years if it did not “fill the l ill”—full and running over.
The truth is the Studebaker is a littlo the best farm wagon ever built Be
i cause we are the largest manufacturers w e get thecream of timber products
| and the first pick of materials; because wc Lave tlx largest 1 actorywe can J
(afford the best faci lines and are able to build a better, stronger, lighter!
draft farm wapoa than any other manufacturer esn build.
You don’t buy a farm w agon very often; why not get the best while you
are at it! A Studebaker will last you, perhaps as long as you live. It’s noth
ing unusual for aStud' baker to run from 10 to 20 years without even resor

THE REASON
WHY SPREADERS BUNCH ON THE FINISH!
Last week we explained why a tail-gate was necessary to prevent a
Manure Spreader from bunching when it first begins to unload. This week
we propose to explain why a following tail-gate is not necessary and why it
should not be used if you wish to avoid bunching as the unloading is com
pleted.
With an endless com ever like the Litchfield uses, the load is carried
evenly and regularly against the beater wheel and instead of throwing over
the final finish in a bunch where strawv and tough material is being un
loaded. it finishes out regularly without this bunching.
If you use a following endgate on a Spreader, this feeds the load up in a
solid chunk and the last few inches is very apt to go out. in one bunch be
cause there is no more material behind it to hold it down, like there has
been during the previous part; of the unloading.
With our Spreader, the finishing of the unloading is being accomplished
without dragging it over a long distance, by simply throw ing the lever back
to a high speed just as the unloading is being completed. This puts every
thing out on the ground uniformly. By not hav ing a following tail-gate,
the bunching is avoided.
We believe we are repeating something that many of our customers are
fully familiar with, but at the same time there aie those who do not know
tills objectionable feature to the "follower'’ tail-gate and who do not realize
the advantage of an endless conveyer, to prevent this bunching and to ac
complish many other desirable results whic a return conveyer cannot.
Of course, on those machines that use only a part conveyer which must
be run back to its original starting point for each new load, it becomes nec
essary to use a following tail-gate and this is what causes the additional
bunch as the unloading is completed, but with our endless conveyer this
objection is avoided.
We sincerely trust that our prospective customers will investigate this
question of bundling when it quits, for there is nothing more aggravating
than to keep an extra man with a fork following the Spreader to do away
with these bunches and get nice, even distribution* Let the Litchfield talk
for itself, which it will do if you give it the opportunity.
To be continued next week.
T. M. REED.
