Cuater county will continue to remain the largest and best county in the best state in the Union. If the floods which hampered , the delegates in reaching the Democratic convention at Denver , is any criterion to go by , Bryan will remain in Lincoln for another four years at least. Every young man should study the political situation of his state and nation. The Young Men's Republican Clubs will af ford them this opportunity. Or ganize onfeinyour neighborhood. The young republicans of Cus ter cotfnty should write Herbert G. Myers of Broken Bow for par ticulars concerning the organiza tion of a Kepublican Club in their vicinity. It will be a move in the right direction and will greatly benefit every young man. It was decided at the meeting of the Republican Central Com mittee Monday to interest , the young1 republicans , of Custer county during this campaign. This will be done by organizing Young Men's Kepublicin Clubs in every town and township in the county. The Central Com mittee made a good selection for organizer of these clubs when they selected Herbert G. Myers of this city for that position and also elected him Vice Chairman of the otnmittiu. An astrologist in Washington has been reading the stars and he says that Taft will be elected triumphantly and overwhelm ingly over any candidate whom the democrats put in the field. He also says that Taft will be elected President twice , but not for two consecutive terms us Roosevelt will be president for the intervening four years. The stars also say that in the iniclle of his first term the United States will have a brief war with some foreign power but will be victorious. Prosperity will be increased greatly in the next five years and the Roosevelt policies will be carried out , but not so throughly pressed. The astor- logist says that there will be per fect harmony between Taft and Sherman but that the President will have a falling out with the Senate and house bf representa tives , but will conquer.
