Red 21 Residence, - Black 21 J. W. BURLEIGH.Editor and Pnb. J. R. GARDINER Manager The beauties of the primary system are being illus trated in every county in the state this year more than ever, in the multiplicity of candidates for the various offices. In Sherman county so far, over twenty can didates have already filed for the various offices, and we hear of not less than a dozen more who will file before the date of closing the filings. And Sherman county is not nearly up to the average county either. Custer county had forty-five or more two weeks ago and a number of precincts to hear from. Howard county alone has upwards of a dozen and a half can didates for sheriff, and the good Lord only knows how many more will file before the time expires. If that obtains in such smaller and less populated counties of Sherman, Howard and Custer, at the same rate, ac cording to population, you can count on the various counties of the state totalling upwards 2,700 to 3,000 candidates for the county offices, and this with the great numbers out for the state, congressional, judi cial and legislative offices will cause a blanket ballot that in proportion will make the Sink bed sheet look like a miniature picture by its side. At the present rate of production of candidates at each succeeding primary, we may soon expect the greater portion of the people to be represented on primary ballots for office. If there ever was a blooming failure, it is the present primary election law. And it is proving an elephant in size already. 1 * f The great Judge (?) Howard of the Columbus Telegram, self-constitued mouthpiece of Nebraska de mocrats, to whom all democratic editors bow the knee and worship, without running the risk of offend ing Deity, as there is none like him on earth, in the heavens above, nor in the waters beneath, has issued his dictum that the party cannot array itself on the side of equal suffrage, at the coming state convention, in direct contradiction to Jthe law regarding such act ion on that and other questions. And now we learn that this would-be dictator has been solicited to go on the Chautauqua platform. Equal suffragists could do nothing better for their cause than to see that he does and that his talks are from the anti-suffragists stand point. The inner history of Howard would do the rest. By a perusal of the call for the democratic coun ty convention published in our local democratic news paper, it will be found that a portion of its business will be to enunciate a “platform of principals." This is in keeping with that party which brings forth a “platform of principals” instead of a “platform of principles.’, We are pleased to note that the “principals” of the democratic party in Sherman county are honest enough to call things by their pro per names, even if it is a give-away of their methods. One does not have to be told what party is in power when he reads of the idle thousands of work ingmen over the country from the mines, the factories the railroads and the big interests. Even upon awakening from a Van Winkle sleep, and without further information than the daily news, he would be certain the donkey party was in power. The leaders of the progressive party in New York are trying to push Teddy into the race for governor, but the latter is too foxy to get into the game which has odds against him. And besides, there is no doubt he is in training for the presidency in 1916, if the two elements of the republican party can be cemented to gether. The actions of the English suffragets do more harm and are more damaging to the cause of equal suffrage in this country than any and all arguments that could be advanced by the anti-suffragists. Mother Pankhurst and her crowd of rowdyists are a detriment to the cause of equal rights everywhere. For the 'steenth time, the Pankhurst leader of English suffragets was arrested and put in prison last week. That means she will go into another of her periodical hungerfests. What a pity to the cause of equal rights that she does not manage to starve to death and end her earthly mission of mistakes. An exchange withdraws its objection to Bryan’s continuing his Chautauqua talks, believing that it is for the best interests of the state department for him to absent himself and let his office attaches attend to the work as conductive to better results and policies. It takes the women to settle some fellows’ insane desire for office, even if it is only along minor lines. Proof, the late school election. i IARGE DRY GOODS SALE at VIC SWANSON’S i iffiSJfcr'ForTda«yi«S’tSn’ar,ketS,,dbou*,hta >•*•» "P->"-d«u Merchandise i jsssasttsi s±fr isdVl ^^^ssrvsocz C | I Orter Too Good Herchandlse at loss Than Tou Have Been Paying for Poor Herchandlse ; I boast in saying I now have the largest store in Loup Citv,packed full of the most un to date | Merchandise.

Last Saturday, on call of Judge Wall, chairman of the republican county central committee, a meet ing was held in that gentleman's office and a call formulated for the republican county convention to meet in this city on the 23rd instant, to select a central commit tee, select delegates to the state convention and transact such ot her business as may come before that l)ody. See call for the con vention in this issue. Let the re publicans of the various town-, ships see to it their precincts are duly represented at the conven tion. — Genuine seal skin handbags, naw - ast patterns at Schwaner’s. Among the announcements this week will be found that of J. H. Miner for the office of sheriff, subject to the will of the republi can voters of Sherman county. Harry Miner is too well known to our people to make any commen dation of his candidacy at our hands of particular value. He is well known in both Sherman and Buffalo counties, where he has been a resident for many years. Should he receive the nomination at the primaries and be elected to the responsible office to which he aspires, he will, no doubt, prove a faithful official and satisfactory in the duties of that offioe. Plenty of rubber fruit jar rings and jar lids at the 510 & 25c store. Democratic newspapers have new employment just now defend ing their party from the vigorous attacks of Theodore Roosevelt who is busy pointing the way to political, industrial and social sal vation through and by means of the progressive party. Speaking of the democratic party the colo nel declares that it is a “part.v afraid-of-power. ” The tariff law is denounced as a failure and the anti-trust law as an economic ab surdity. No wonder a democratic does’t smile from both sides of his mouth at the colonel’s little pleasantries. Some very tine hand leather bags now on display at Scuwaners. While posing as an advocate of the iniative and referendum, as well as an advocate of county op tion and prohibition, William J’ Bryan secretly used his influence to prevent these measures from being brought into the Nebraska state campaign of 1908 for fear his chances in the presidential election would be jeopardized, is the charge made in an open letter by Arthur F. Mullen, former de mocratic attorney general of Ne braska. Mullen was president of the BrySh volunteers in the 1908 cam paign. He says that the Omaha brewers delivered to him $2000 to lx; used for Bryan. Mullen also says he acted as Bryan's repre sentative on the resolutions com mittee, and at Bryan’s request the initiative and referndum plank was defeated in order that Bryan might not be embarrassed in his national campaign. Likewise, all reference to prohibition was omitted from the platform, so that Bryan would not be embar rassed, Mullen says. THIS man Darling, who is be? In the next few days you are going to hear a goo deal about Nels Darling. We are going to tell yoi right now who be is. He lectures here at our Chautauqua the fourth day. He is the business man’s lecturer who talks on bette stores, better business, better cities and towns, bette communities. Gets right dowm and talks in plain everyday term: and KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. He can tell a business man how to straighten ou many of the kinks in his business and tell a commercial clul or any organization of business men how to put their towr on the map and make it stick there. He is a specialist on city and community development It’s his business. He talks it the year round and is con sulted by business men everywhere he goes. His know ledge of these things has made him valuable as a Chautauqua lecturer because a Chautauqua has a big ger job than just to furnish a town with a few days ol amusement. Darling has been over two big Redpath Chautauqua circuits, making towns as large as Cedar Rapids, la, Kansas City, Cheyenne, Wyo., and many, many cities as large as these through his Lyceum season, and what does he do? Gets business men together for an hour’s talk on city and community problems. Darling has no set lec ture. He analyzes conditions in every place, reports his findings and draws expert conclusions. Many a city has paid Darling a $250 fee for an hour’s observation and analysis. He lectured at the Chautauqua at Longmont, Colo., last summer and a few days later received an invitation to address the Colorado State Lumbermen’s Association at a handsome fee. His Lyceum booking prevented his going back. The Colorado Hardware Dealers’ Association held their annual meeting last March in Denver. President Huddle stone, in a speech to the convention, advised the dealers interested in better merchandising and better citizenship to get Darling to lecture in their town. DARLING IS GOING TO BE HERE THIS SUMMER. He will make one address at our Chautauqua—and be gone. He isa busy, busy man. Every man and woman in this whole country around should hear him. The small city and town has a big fight on to hold ground against the rapid growth of the large cities. Darling is showing hundreds of smaller cities and towns how to hold their ground. It is one of the big purpose numbers of the Chau* tauqua. Get everybody out to hear Darling—FOURTH DAY. He wih have something every man will take home with him—a bunch of new ideas that need be applied right here to make this city and community what they ought to be. GET EVERYBODY OUT! - DARLING - FOURTH DAY CHAUTAUQUA
