A vote for S--C. : Waldron the

can ticlet for the legislature will
be a vote for the right man. Mr.
Waldron is an intelligent and
successful business man and his
cl aracter is above reproach. Be

President Roosevelt efforts to
bring the coal strike to end is
meeting wi th the general appro\-
al of the public. IIis first as
well as his second effort to have
'the contellding parties compromise -
mise their differences failed , but
his honest effort is appreciated
by the public. ' 1'he president is
resoruceful and we predict that
he will \'igorously continue his
efforts lnd not without final tri-
umph.
'l'he vo 'rs of the northeast
part of the county shoulll ha\'e
110 hesitancy \'oting for Ii' . S.
Morris.l1eis not only highly qualified -
ified to fill tie position fur which
he was unanimously nominated
but he is a man of strict-integri-
ty and strong convictions of honesty -
esty and wonld not uc a party to
any crooled transaction but
would be true to the interestH of
the county and loyal to his con-
stituants.
'l'he voters of the southeast
quarter willmale no mistae } in
casting their vote for a.Hiser for
supervisor. 1\11' . Hiser is not an
ofiicer seeker butas he wasrenomi-
ated by acclamation for the ofiice
he has so efiicient1y filled the past
two years he accepted ths nomination -
ation as any loyal citizen would
do. His experience on the board

valuable to the county than in
the past am } he should be returned -
ed by an incrcased majority.

M. )4. ) ) i'1" es , the republican
candidate for cong'ress was a city
visitor 1\1onday. He has been
over the southren and western
part of Custer comIt ) ' looking
after his political chances. He
reports that the outlook for the
success of the entire republican
ticket very flattering. In every
locality are those who have become -
come disgusted , vith fusion and
will support the party this fall
that fights for principle rather
than for office.

If there IS any body in Broken
Bow township that is not going
vote for the re-election of G. II.
' 1'horpe for supervisor we have
not heard from him. Mr. 'l'horpe
has made a splendid record the
past two years and his popularity
which elected him by so large a
majority two years ago is greater
than it was then and we predict
that he will have a much larger
vote than then. It has been hinted -
ed that the sheriff will not vote
for him but \\Ie are not autherized
to state it as a fact.
We are reliably informed by
one who has been over most of
the state in the past sixty days
that nearl ) ' every saloon in the
state is upporting W. II. ' 1'homp-
son for governor . and that his
picture can be found in c\'cryone
of them. 'l'hat mean\ : that
Mr. 'l'hompon ; has made that
class consession that they could
not get of the republican call11i-
datc , Micley. It will be interest-
ing' to. know how many 01 the
temperance pops will cast their
votc iu support of the saloon deal.
.Judgc S. A. IIo1comb of the
su prcme conrt , iu d issenti ng from
the decision written by Com mis-
simlcr Ames , in which hc held
against reading' the llible in
schools , is to be commcnded.
'fhe United Statcs owcs its
growth and power to its liberal
interpetation of the Bible , where
men were allowed to worship
God according to the dictates of
their own conscience. It was
this principle that induced the
Pilgram fathers to emigrate from
their mother country. It was in
defense of that principle for
which Hoger 'Villiams was banished -
ished to the wilderness , bnt hi
views finally predominated and
became the principlp upon whid
our govetnment was founded.

J4ess than three weeks before
election and it is timc for every
loyal republican in Custer county
to he looking after his neighbor's
political welfare as well as his
OWII. We are or should bc in a
degree our "brothers keeper. "
' ! 'hose who kllow that the country -
try owes its present prosperous
condition to the wise and conservative -
vative policy of the republican
party should not hide their light
under a huslle ! . I very candidate
on the state , county and township
tickets should be elected , and if
e\'ery republican makes it a point'
to go to the polls and \'ote and
persuade his populist neighbor to .
go with him an vote the republican -
lican ticket there will be no question -
tion about results. Do you. not
know of one that is undecided and
that you could help by a little
effort ?
'l'he democratic policy of gO\-
ernment is destructi\'e recall the
history of & 1 to & 5 or from 93
to % . ' [ 'he repuhlican unbuild-
ing recall the history of ( )5 to 84
and from t ) ( ) to 1902. 'l'he democrats -
crats say , "We will not have protection -
tection because we are afraid
somebody will make money by it. "
'l'he republicans say , "we will
have protcction becauseeverybody
will make money at it. 'And every-
hody has made money. Look
aroulld you and you can see that
all your neighbors , who are willing -
ing to work and save , are bettcr
off today than they were in 1895.
'l'here is no douht about it. ! tis
a fact patent to everyone with
eyes. You will find that those
nelghb01'S have better clothes ,
better food , better carpets and
furniture in their houses , and
their wives aud children have
been able to have a little pleasure
along with their prosperity. How
can scnsihle men , who see these
things , if they reflect upon them ,
think for a moment of rejecting
the policy of governmental economy -
omy which brought about these
conditions , for the policy represented -
sented hy the democrats which
has been tried and proved a fail-
ure.
That Judge Kinkaid will be
onr next congressman is a foregone -
gone conclusion. And there is
every reason that he should be.
He is a lawyer of exceptional
abilility , acknowledged even by
the opposition , as by their help ,
when the district was hopelessly
fusion , he was elected judge sey-
eral times. No one denies his
ability , and not one word is or can
be said to his detriment as a man ,
lawyer , judge , jurist , or , in any
concei\'able way. The only hope
for the fusionists in this district
is to try and make succeed a
"soldier" racl tj a sort of "gener-
al" racket , so to speak. And
what makes that so disgusting i
the fact that it comes from a r.o-
litical fusion that in times. past
ha\'e yelled "bloody shirt" every
time the republicans put up a
soldier candidate , and never found
an ) ' good among the "bo's" save
onlS when one of them occasionally -
ally had a place on their tic1wt.
Now , we appeal toe\'ery thinking
reader if this is not the case ?
But thcnJudge Kinlmid will have
hundreds of g'ood honest democrats -
crats and populists in the district
that will help elect him in utter
disgust of the "anythingforot1 ce"
fusion element.-Ainsworth Star-
Journal.

'I'he fusionists , who realize that
it will be impossible to elect thcir
cntire ticket this fall , wc arc
credihly informed have adopted
new tactics by which the ) ' hope
to elect part of their liclct. ' 1'hat
is to put forth special eO'ort for
Thompson on the state ticket ( or
go\'ernor and in e\'cr ) ? county , one
or two , as the conditions may
warrant will be singled out and a
special effort will be made to elect
them at the sacrifice of all others.
In this county tht7 candidate on
the legislati\'e ticket to be special
favored IS J. J. 'l'oole ) ' . As the
i party has but one candidate on
their tIcket , that for county at-

ly inform those who approach
him that he is not for sale. In
soml. ' localities the } ' would ha\'e
yun'ote for 'Pooley instead of
Waldron while in others the ) ' will
have you scratch Copsey and vote
for 'l'ooley. It is a very smooth
plan and unless republicans are
careful thc ) ' will be caught. In
some 10culiticB we understand
that th05/who claim to be repub-
liculB : ha\'c heen secured to put a
talk against their own candidates ,
but that we think is a mistake.
Be sure , let the elicitor be who
he may that he is not working
for t h ncce5S of the princi pies
of the rcpublican party but for
some selfish motive.
'
An interesting test of the prosperity -
perity of the country was shown
in'thc recent annual encampment
of the G. A. H. \Vashington. .
'l'he uiggest crowd ever in attendance -
tendance upon a Grand Army encampment -
campment was present. It must
be remc'mbered that mostof them
had to come from distant states ,
New I ngland , New- York , Pennsylvania -
sylvania , Illinois , Indiana , Ohio
and Michigan furnishing the
greater , but Kansas , Iowa , Nebraska -
braska , Califoruia , Minnesota and
Wisconsin being well represented.
'l'hat meant tl1at the old veterans
had to have money. Of course
they had moncy ; they had it from
the resul t of selling their crops
for good prices , because protection
had made business good and
created a demand ; they had it
from their little investments ,
which had been safeguarded under -
der wise republican laws ; some
of them had it a gifts from their
boys who are working in the
great industrial system built up
under the protective tarifr and
are glad to send the old folks on
this jaunt to Washington ; they
had it because the republican
party , in the face of constant
democra tic opposition had passed
pension laws that were both just
and generous , as a grateful nation
wanted them to be. In the
stormy days of ' 93 to ' 95 the veterans -
erans did not attend national en-
campents unless they were
"migh ty close to home. " 'Ve
are all glad so many could attend
this year and we are all thankful
for the measure of prosperit ) '
which enables these old fellows ,
beloved of the nation , to see some
good tiines in-their old days.
The story that J. H. Mickey
was > the agreed candidate of the
railroads is still occasionally
spread out before the readers of
the fusion newspapers. The history -
tory of the las't republican state
convention is fresh in the public
mind , and furnishes its ovn con.
tradiction to this story. More
than usual interest had been tak.
en in the primary contests oveI
the state , and more regularl , } !
elected delegates were actually
present than at any previous statt :
convention in the history of Ne.
braska. 'l'hey were there with
individual perferences , and they reo
mained in theconvention hall untIJ
all of the business had been tran-
sacted. 'l'he guhernatoral nomina
ation was more closely contestej
and longer drawn out than an ) '
previous contest forlthat position.
If there was evidence of railroad
preference it was shown in the
ttempt to nominate J. B. Dins-
more. 'l'his infhu.'nce , aided by
the l osewater forces with a com.
bination along the same lines a1

I presented in the last legislature ,
i came within a few votes of 110m-
inating the south Platte man.
' 1'hey fought for him desperately
to the end. In the meantime the
north Platte countrv was lined up
for Hohertson of Norfolk , hut was
short of the required nllmber of
votes. 'l'he balance of power was
contained in the votes held uy
Mickey , Jessen and mack. 'l'he
second choice of a majority of the
north Platte delegat s was evidently -
dently Paul Jessen , but they were. .
unable to secure enough Black !
and Mic1 < ey votes to nominate him.
After twelve ballots a stampede
resulted in the nomination of
Mickey. At this time the railroad -
road influence , supported by the
Rosewater votes , still stood loy-
ally'by Dinsmore. ' 1'he pretense
on the part of the f"sion papers
that Mickey is a railroad candidate -
date and that W. II. 'I'hompson
is "anti-railroad , " creates a laugh
where the facts are known. Mr.
' 1'hompson carried free passes
o\'cr the Burlington , Elkhoru and
Union Pacific roads pre\'ions to
his nomination , and he carries
them yet. 'l'he fusionists are
welcome to all the comfort they
can g-et out of these facts.-State
Journal.
'l'he fusionists arc milking the
trusts an issue with the view of
deceiving the farming element
with their 'trust pnce' bait. 'l'he ) '
argue that the protective tariff
is the mother of trusts and that
manufactured goods are higher
because of the trusts. If they
would stick strictly to thc truth
and say that prices are higher on
every thing we produce because
of the protective tarifT , maintained -
ed by the republican party they
I would decei'e no one nor would
they induce anyonc to vote for a
change to free trade. But hy using -
ing the hyphenated word "trust-
prices. " Some no doubt will be
deceived. 'l'rust thrive wherever
business is a success , whether it
is in a cour1tr ) ' where free trade
or protection pre\'ails. Combi nation -
tion of capital is the craze of the
age. 'Vith proper laws to control
combinations they can be made
profitable to the public , as was
instanced in the oil combination
and the meat trust , so called.
Every farmer knows that there
has been an increase in the prices
of his produce and stock since

18 % and if there has been a sligh t
increasc in manufactured goods
it has not been out of proportion -
portion with the increase of the
prices of his products uHl
while may pay more for machin. .
ery he has the satisfaction of
knowing that he has something
to huy it with and that the man. .
ufacturer is thereby enabled to
keep his factor ) ' in operation and
the labor of the country imployed \ - 'TJ
[ 1t remunerative wagcs , which r
helps to furnish a market for his
produce at good figures. Compare -
pare the prices of 1896 with those
of 1902. li'arm products show an I
ad\'ance of 49.30 per cent , so that
for every S100 recci ved for the
sale of farm products in 1896 , the
farmernow receives * 149.30 for
the same quantity and quality.
Reapers , mowerG , plows and cuI- \
tivators are quoted by the manu- I
factures at substantially the same
prices as in i8 % . Dry
goods are a shade higher but
boots , shoes and lothingarc low-
er. Butter , eggs , beef and pork
ha\'c increased in price. The
farmer who knows when he is
doing well will not vote for free
tra e democracy , that he may I
kill "trust prices. " It is only a
subterfug-e to get democracy into
power with all of its old time free
trade tendicies. A vote for a.
fusion candidate is a vote to encourage -
courage free trade principles low
prices and hard times.
