on the question as to whether they

Mr. W. L. Weesner is a modest un

The wuhity of the local fraternal

lieve that he will live forever and
were it not for somcjfrioiidlv neighbor
mildly suggesting that he might de
part for the unknown before he knew
it his family mittlit be left in straight
onoil cireuuiHtaiices. The history of
all ooiiitnuiiitk". is that young men
are no more exempt than old men
from the ilxed law of being, their
families need protection from the un
certainities oi life more than the fami
lies of the old men. Every man who
is physically able should provide for
those who are dependent upon him by
taking out u life insurance policy
When a stranger comes into the
community and docs things different
ly from what we have been accustom
ed to do it Is not the part of wisdom
to condemn him without a hearing.
We should be willing to wait and see
if lie produces it-suits helot e We de

For instance cars ago it was a stock
form of argument to say that it would
bo just a-i absurd to do so and so m it
would be to try to tachl ii child to

years all children are taught to read

ibility of such an undertaking. We
now have a law by which the matter
may lie brought before the people
and decided by Ihem thtoiigh the
ballot as to whether a copoiution will

a tiling. Well read minds sustain
wholesome laws. True intelligence
elevates the morals of a community.

crooked and preverso ways.

Mr. O. W Lindsey ih meeting with

Our experience has proved that the greatest
dependence can be placed on Wooltex Gar
ments. No other make that we have known of pos
sesses such authentic and exclusive style features
and Wooltex is the only line of women's cloth

two full seasons' satisfactory service.
When quality is considered, you will appreci
ate how modest Wooltex prices really are.

Geo. W. Lindsey, Democratic Candidate for
Representative of Webster County, Nebr.
Tho object of this card is two-fold: First of all to thank you siiicorely,
for your royal support in nominating mo a compliment which any man may
well be proud of.
Second. It is my way of introducing myselt into the political Arena
'Let's shake" now that we are acquainted lot's get to biz. I urn a Candidate
for Heprpsentathe for Webster County the best County in the State. It I
YOUlt HOME, it is MY HuMH. Our llrst and great object should be tomnko
laws that shall 1IUILD VV and PROTECT all of the HOMES of Webster
County! To this "Common Cause" let me ask the support of evory voter.
Thanking you for whatever you may be able to do Tor me, and pledging
you, If elected, my very best elVorts for all of Webster County.
In this ago of political Chicanery uvery voter has a right to know what
his Representative stands for. Ho should declare himself openly, and "on
the squaro, ' aud when elected, should thus conduct himself.
Government llrst. party second; principles llrst, party second; men llrst
and party second. This Is MY political creed.
Business principles should be inculcated into politics to thu end that all
needless expense may be saved.
Hlonnlul elections is what tho tax payors want, it would save thousands
of dollars.
The present Primary Law is a needless double-tux upon the taxpayers,
auu glioma oe repealed.
Th Agriculture Intorest of our County demands better 'roads. A law
should be enacted providing for smaller road districts in the counties, with
local faolf-government. All moneys for roads, and bridges should bo equitably
apportioned and distributed among the several countios:
1 stand for County Option, and firmly believe that Good Huwrnmbnt
and Publio Morals will be best served in that way. '
