Our people will see by the following list of candidates just who they will or will not vote for at the primary. All of them cannot he nominated and it is now up to the different parties to choose "from the list who they want to represent them on their ticket : Kor the office of senator there arc three republicans asking1 for a place on the ticket for this important olllcc as follows : James Ledwich , W. S. Mattley and G. II. Kinsey. I. A. Ollis is asking the popu lists to place him on their ticket and as he has no opposition will no doubt be nominated but that is all. On the demo-populist W. C. Elliott is the only candi date. Kor representative there are three republicans in the field , U\ C. Wilson , J. A. Auisbcrry and Dr. A. L , . Mathews. Only one can be nominated and he should be an honest and capable man. The voters will say who he shall be. On the demo-populist there are also three men asking for the nomination , W. E. Warren , Ebeuezar Miller and W. J. Taylor. One of them will be the choice of his party and will suffer defeat at the general election , then he will wish one of the other demo-pops had of won out at the primary. On the republican ticket the office of county attorney only has one aspirant , Nathan T. Gadd , while the domo-pops have two , C. W. Bealand A. P. Johnson. Either of whom Mr. Gadd will gad so hard with votes at the general election that he will be sorry he won the place on the fusion ticket. For supervisor in District No. 1 W. D. Gardner is the republi can candidate and J. 13. Griut the demo-populist. In the third district the repub lican candidate is L. Cushnau and D. W. Lantermau the demo- pop. In the first and third districts neither candidate has no opposition in their party at the primary , but there will be lively times at thcgeneral elec tion which will result in repub lican success. The fifth district has three publicans in the field and no one on the democrat , demo-pop or populist ticket. They are J , B. Gilmore , J. II. McGuire and P. A. Joedeman , cither one of whom will have smooth sailing into office if he gets the nomi nation. The seventh district has two republicans and one deuio-pop asking for nomination. The republicans are Prank Mossman and C. N. Harris. The voters in that district will say which one of these men can beat Ben P.

Sib- ley , of Lincoln county , was born in Maine , educated in the public schools and at Wesleyan Acad- amy , Massachusetts. Moved to that state before he was 21 , en gaging in merchandising and to Nebraska in 1885 , and this to his present location , in Pox Creek Precinct in Lincoln county , in April , 1885 where he has since been engaged in farming and stock growing , with the except ion of one year. While always an interested and active republican he refused to be a caddidate for any position out-side of his precinct until nominated for State Senator for the 30th District Was elected by more than 1000 majority. He was an active member of the 30th Session of the Nebraska Legislature , which so generally met the approval of the people of this state and was watchful and aggressive for the interests of his constituents , and of West ern Nebraska. Of his legislative work it can be said he was credited with besting the Eastern Senator , on the Bill to Repeal the Wolf Bounty. Though opposed by the State Superintendent , he procured a Junior Normal at North Plattc. The Senate Finance Committee reduced the appropriation for Poor School Districts from $50000 to $25000 and it passed the Senate. He was relied upon by Represent ative Doran , who introduced the Bill and State Superintendent McBrian , to effect the recedance of the Senate , which he was able .o do. He organized the Senate against the three best talking lawyers for the Sane Pure Food Law ; Fought the Omaha self ish interests in the Terminal Tax Law and though beaten in the Senate , the House adopted his Amendments and the Senate eceded. The Bill reducing express atcs 25 per cent was introduced by him and successfully piloted through the legislature. Since the adjournment ot the Legis lature he brought to the atten lion of the State Railway Com missioner the excessive Coal Rates on the Union Pacific and induced them to file complaints before the Inter-State Couitner- ecc Commission and assisted in successfully prosecuting the case which has resulted in a sub stantial reduction in rates from Grand Island West. The Young Men's Taft Club. The meeting last night called for the organization of Young Men's Taft Club was well at tended and the addresses by Congressman Pollard and Judge Norris were full of good thought and earnest words of encourage ment for the young men to get into politics. Congreesman Pollard's talk should have been heard by every young man in Broken Bow and vicinity for he set forth clearly just why the young men of the country should imtorest themselves in the affairs of the county , state and nation His argument was forcible , clear and logical and showed conclus ively that all reforms were brought about by young men ant by republicans. Judge Norris did not have the time necessary to fully go into details in his ad dress about the Philippine Is lands , but the short tiuie he did talk was used in a beneficial way to every one present. He is per fectly familiar with the condition of affairs in the Islands and said that the natives would rejoice in the election of Taft for president. After the speeches a temporary organisation of the Taft Club was made by electing Charles Luce Chairman , and E. F. Myers Secretary. The Club has ISO members. Our Boys Play Good Ball. Since the base ball tournament of last week it goes without say ing tuat the Brokku Bow boys play good ball , having- won five games out of six. Probably the hardest game ever played in this section of the state was that of Friday between Broken Bow and Merna , which took twelve innings to decide. This is the game which our boys lost , but as they had worked hard all week and the Mcrua Club was fresh on the diamond our boys did nobly during the twelve in nings. They did better the next day by defeating the same club. Hcrrich Brownell. Married at the home of the bride in Broken Bow , Sunday morning , August 2,1908 , Mr. D. L. Herrich and Mrs. Susan I. M.
