this duty , in the best inleregt of
my country ? " Ii'ittding for himself -
self the answer to tha t self-sitcri fic-
ing , patriotic question , he acts
accordinggly.
'I'he people want 'faft because
he h s successfully preformed
every public duty which has been
intrusted to his charge since
that day in January , 1881 , when
he received his first pnblic appointment -
pointment , as assistant prosecuting -
ing attorney for Cincinnati , O.
'l'he people want Taft because

thc Phillipine Civil Commission ;
his administration of the islands
and his adaptation thereto of
American forms of govcrnment ;

various divisions of nat ves and
their pacification ; his vigorous
upholding of the nag and the
submission thereto of lhe insur-
rectos ; has support of American
education for the people of all
ranks , classes , conditions and
creeds ; his fearless advocacy then
and since and now of the right3
of the li'illipinos to equal treat-
mcnt under our laws.
' 1'he people want Taft because
they realize that the success of
his mission to the Vatican regarding -

friars' lands in the Phi 11 i -
pines , is all the' evidence required -
ed to prove that h possesses
diplomatic ability , strengthened
by experience , as will be needed
by whoever shall be President of
this great nation of ours , in the
years of internat l > nal auxiety
and American respoHsibilit ) '
which are before ns.
The people want Taft because
when but recently , revolution
threatened our great trade an
investment interests in Cuba , he
hUlricd down there , an by
diplomacy and candor averted the
catastrope , including the malcontents -
contents on both sides t accept
provisIOnal government at American -
can hands ; .under which government -
ment the island is peaceful and
prosperous.
'I'he people want Taft because ,
though vigorously nrged by
President Hoosevelt to accept a
seat for life on the bench of the
Supreme Court of the United
Statcs-the most highly respected -
ed judicial body in the world-hc
remained true to his promise tCJ
the people of the Phillipines that

Taft Will 'Win
on First Ballot.
- -
Roosevelt Emphatically Asserts That
Taft Will be Republican Nominee
on the First Ballot.
President Roos"cveIt has made
the emphatic , unqualified prediction -
tion that Secretary 'l'aft w1ll be
nominated on the first ballot bv
the Chicago convention in Jun ,
and that the convention will then
make the nomination unanimous.
'I'o those to whom he had madc
the prediction he has stated that
it is impossible for him to see
any other outcome of the present
situation. He has even gone
further and said that his prediction -
tion is based upon what he considers -
siders trustworthy information
from every state in the union and
the terri tories.
The president did not give an ) '
figures , nor will he do so , He
, has , however , tabulated the probable -
able vote on the first balIot and
has no further doubts. He has
informed Secretary 'I'aft of his
conclusions and has talked with
some of the 'I'aft leaders. They
l are delighted that so shrewd a
poli tician as the presiden t shou ld
, be so pIJsitive in his views.
From inside information it is
, stated that the president relies
upon a practically solid west for
'I'aft , a solid south , man ) ' 01 the
middle western states like Minnesota -
esota , Michigan amlVisconsin ,
and at least half the vote of the
New England states. TIe gives
to the other candidates few votes
except those of their respective
states , and , so far as New York
is concerned , he thinks that most
of the votes will be fol' 'I'a ft , particularly -
ticularly should GO\ " . Hughes
continue his non-committal atti.
tude as to the nomination.
Accl.Jrding to the present vicws
of the president. Mr. Taft will
have over (100 delegates ont of
950 in the convention , and' he
will get them on the first ballot.
A Large Majority for Taft.
'l'he I-4oS Angeles Times for
:1e : past month has conducted a
daily vote among merchants ,
club men , shop workers and r.lI
classes of people in I-4oS Angeles
and other southcrn California
- cities. Out of 2872 republicans
- themselves , 2124 are
for'raft. 'I'he other candidates

; Political Straws
Blow Taft's Way
The Republican State and Congressional -
ional Committees Are All for
the Big SecretarJ' .
'l'he last week has filled out
the political calendar for choosing -
ing delegates to repres nt Nebraska -
braska in the national conven-
tions. ' 1'he list , as now made
up , is as follows :
Hepublican state convention ,
Omaha , March 12.
Fifth district republican convention -
vention , Uastings , March , 5.
Democralic state and district
convetttions , Omaha , MarchS.
Populist statl' and district conventions -
ventions , Omaha , MarchS.
All the cal1s for republican
district conventions embody the
apportionment fixed by the state
committee , based on the vote for
president at the last election ,
and they all leave to the county
committees the determination of
the manner of selecting the delegates -
gates to represent their respective -
tive conn ties in the district con-
, ventions.
It turns out that the pcrsonal
preferences of the members of
thc different reuuhlican district
committees , ac orcing' to the
Omaha Bee , ar" all as pronounced
and outspoken tor ' 1'aft lor the
presidcntial nomination as were
the recorded prefcre1ces of the
republican state commit tee. ' 1'he
Second district committee adopted -
ted a resolution endorsing 'l'aft
by unanimous vote. At the
meeting of the Third district
committee at Norfolk a test votc
on individual preferences db-
closed that the members of committee -
mittee arc unanimous in favor of
Taft , JJuring th nH > eting of
the Fifth ( istrict committee held
at JIaslings , the chairman polled
I the members to ascertain their
choice for president , and ever } '
J one of the committeemen responded -
sponded for Taft. 'l'he Sixth
llistrict call was the result of a
corespondence conference of the
committeemcn , and it is given
out that a large IldJjOrit } ' , if not
, all of them , are also for ' 1'aft.
' 'rhese district committees include -
'I clude representatives from every
county 111 the state , whereas the I
state committee includes rcpre- I
sentatives only from the various
scnatorial districts , being about
one-third of the counties of the
state. 'rhe only inference fro111
these polls is that the 'l'aft sentiment -
timent is pronounced iu Nebraslm
from one end of it to the ot her.
Nebr. Farm Loans
Good As Ever
.
During Past Week Eastern Companies
Have Resumed . I Loaning "Long
Green" on Nebraska Soil.
- -
'l'hings financial are getting
i nlo normal chan nels agai nand
no better proof is needed than
that real cstate and farm loans.
the latter especially , are being
accepted by eastern calf talists.
The head of a Brolcen Bow institution -
stitution , doing considerable business -
iness in farm loans , casually re-
marlcell to u gcntleman in the
same line of husiness , 'yesterday ,
that he had just receivd ( the first
approval of a farm loan since in
November. 'I'he second gentleman -
man , n responsc , said that his
firm , too , hail that da\ ' received
its lirst apt > rev l of a 'farm loan
since the Hurry. In a few moments -
ments another real estater ap-
pen red on t hc stene and reported
the receipt of approval for loans'
during the past few days.
In each of the cases the loans
had been approved by committees
of eastern Insurance companies
and shows that faith in Nebraska
securities is undisturbed and
financiers expect tlltt business
from now on will move along
with old time vigor.
Educational Meeting at Westerville.
According to previous arrangement -
ment , an educational meeting
was held at the WcstervilIe
school house on l1'riday , J au. 31.
In spite of the storm quite a
good 1) ' number gathered at the
appoin ted time. ' 1'he meeting
was cal1ed to order by County
Superintendent Pinckney , and
those present joined heartily in
sing ing "America. " Hev , Chamberlain -
berlain , pastor of the WestervilIe
church , led in prayer , after
wlt ch Mr. Hay 'l"'ierney , teacher
of the Copsey school , read an admirable -
mirable review lof an admirable
book , Prof. Kern's "Among
Country Schools. " A spirited
discussion followed , which
brought out ve.ry forcibly some
advantages to be found in good
country schools that are sCdfcely
to be equaled elsewhere.
'l'he next topic presented was
"The Reci ta tion , " which was
handled in a very able r.1anner
by Mr. W. W. Waters , teacher
at Westerville. 'rhis presentation -
tion and the discussion which
followed was of such a character
as to interest and profit all who
heard it , whether teacher or
pupil.
' 1'he afternoon session was
opened with a recitation by Miss
'i'ina Baker , who told eloquently .
of the "Star-spangled tyranny'
of the Yankee school-ma'am.
' 1'he selection abounded in wit ,
humor and sterling' good sense
and was recited in a manner
worthy of the subject.
'I'he general topic for the afternoon -
noon comprised several aspects -
of the requirements for "A Successful -
cessful School. " Miss Ena
Welsh read a most excellent paper -
per on "What the Teacher must
Do ; " the persons appointed to
present othl'r sub-topics being
absent , the points of "What t:1e :
Parent Must Do , " "What the
Pupils Mnst Do , " and "What the
S heel Board Must Do , " were
handled in a free-for-all discussion -
sion , which proved interesting in
: the extreme Some of the bpst
, thoughts in this discussion were
brought out by Mr. Percy Glover ,
who , with Ins two sons , had evidenced -
denced their interest by coming
a distance of some six miles to
attend the meeting , notwithstanding -
standing the severity of the
weather. Othcr school omcen
prescnt were , i\lr. J. Welch and
H , R Leech.
'l'he "Ouest inn Box" at the
close of th. . ! afternoon session
was a feature bf great interest.
111 the evening a small audience
gathered at the church to listen
to the County Superintendent's
lecture entitlcd , "An Ax to
Grind , " with which all present
seemed vcr ) ' much interested and
pleased.
Altogether , the meeting was
an occasion of interest and profit
to those who attended ; only the
extreme severity of the weather
prevented enc of the largest and
most enthusiastic gatherings of .
, this sort ever held in Custer
COUL1t . .
