SUGGESTIONS
TO VOTERS.
A PLAIN TALK TO Till : PIMPLE OF
CUSII1R COUNIY.
YOU SHOULD ATTIiNl ) PRIMARY
The Primary Law is For The People. It
( s 'I heir Fault if They do Not
Take Advantage Of It. Vote
September First.
Emi'OK RKI'UUUCAN :
Through your columns I desire
to call the attention of tin ; Re
publicans of Cnsler county to the
coming- primary for the nomi
nation ot candidates and to ask
them to take a greater interest
in and attend the primary.
The list of all of the candi
dates who will appear on the
ballot on September 1st. has
been published and every Re
publican should investigate the
candidates ou his ballot and then
go to the primary and vole for
Hie men hi : wants tosee nomi
nated. 'I primary is a "peo
ples" law anil was passed to give
the people 01 Ouster county and
Nebraska an opportunity to nomi
nate their o\vn candidates and to
eliminate the influence 01 the
party n'ng and the party boss.
Some of the politicans are already
comleming the primary law on
the ground that the people do not
take an interest in it and get out
anil vole. They say that tbc
attendance at the primary is not
much better than it was' at the
old party caucus and that it
takus the "spice" out of politics
and kills thepaity inleiest. J he
absence ot the proper interest
and activity was partly respon
sible for the bad conditions
under the convention system ot
nominations and the people
should not by showing a lack of
interest now allow a law which
was passed for their benefit lo be
condemned because they do not
take advantage of the privilege-
that has been given to them.
We cannot expect to overcome
the combinations within one
party or the other if we go about
our daily business saying that we
have no interest in politics and
that we will leave politics to the
politicians. I take issue with
tne man who sib that what is
everybody's business is nobody's
business , and I maintain that
what is everybody's business is a
part of your business , a part of
my business , and a part of our
neighbor's business. Every man
should make it a part of his
business to attend the primaries
and the elections and go there to
cast a conscientious ballot. This
government is just what the people
ple make it and if they want it to
be a government by the politic
ians the } ' can make it a govern
ment by politicians , or if they
want it to be a government "of
the people , by the people , and
for the people" they can make
it such a government. But , if
they want it to be the latter they
must take an interest and not

iave the management of the
vhole machinery to a few indi-
iduals in each community.
This lack of interest is more
noticeable among the farmers
; han among the town people.
LMiis gives the balance of the
> ewer to the cities and deprives
he country districts of their
jroportional rcpresent-.tion in
he choice of candidates. But ,
, his , ngain , can be laid to needy -
) ody but the people themselves.
The farmers have an opportunity
to vote if they will take time to
go to the primary. The trouble ,
ilien , is not in the primary law
ml in the farmers. Let every
Republican farmer in Custer
county attend the coming pri
mary on September 1st and
show the people that they believe
! n "Letting the People Rule"
under a peoples' law put on the
statute books by the Republicans
of Nebraska.
Then after nominating the
andidales they want , the Ke-
[ mblicans should organ i/.c to
make more certain the election of
their candidates next Novem
ber. A party's strengthis | deter
mined largely by the character
and strength of its organisation.
A harmonious , well [ organised
party can put up a. stubborn fight
against any opposition. An
organized party lias every ad
vantage over HIP unorganixod
party. And the more compact
and far reaching the organisa
tion the greater will bo the
strength of the party. In this
matter of the organisation the
people should play their part just
as they should in voting. If
they leave the organisation en
tirely to the politicians they can
expect to sec the politicians use
the organisation to their own
advantage after the election.
They should strengthen them
selves at the time 5they do their
party instead of increasing the
power of jthc politicians through
allowing them lo control all of the
organisation within the party.
The Republicans of Custer coun
ty can greatly strengthen their
party if they will organise a
Taft-Shcldon Club in every pre
cinct in the county. This will
not only strengthen the Republi
can party in every voting pre
cinct in the county , but it will
also afford the people a local
organisation through which they
can express themselves on politi
cal questions. If the people
would organise and demand
what the ) ' want the politicians
would have to grant it or retire.
Under the primary law the
Ihe nartv committee is chosen bv
the candidates. I think that
this is a mistake. The part )
committee should be responsible
lo the people instead of the
candidates. If the voters wisl
lo select their own party com-
inittceman they may rccommem
a committecman when they nice
in parly caucus for the aclectiot
of a township tickcl and tliu
candidates will , in all proloabil
ilyacccpl their recommendation

People who have not given the
subject much thought , do not
realise , how good a medium for
idvcrtising , a county fair can be
Mrule , and the part of a county
'air , which most impresses the
ionic seeker , is the exhibit of
'arm produce. That , best shows
he possibilities ol a country in
tkc way of agriculture. We find
nany people , especially among
our oldest settlers , who do not
care to have the price of land go
ip , as that is no benefit they say
0 those who do not want to soil ,
nit the great benefits which
occur to every one from an in
creased population , is not only in
he raise of the price of land , but
ve all know , that at the present
hue , there is not nearly enough
K'oplc here , to get our farming
lone as it ought to be and to
mild up our count } ' as it should
) e done. More people here , will
ncan better roads , belter mail
acilitics , belter schools , more
ailroads and more of the advan-
ages , which naturally come to a
norc developed community.
To the farmer it means better
ionic market ? , to the merchant
n any line , an increase in trade.
So , aside from the fact , that
on will get premiums for your
rouble , there are the greater and
nore permanent benefits , which
ve ought to strive for , by male-
ug our farm exhibits at our
SPlUlty fair , thcbcst _ we ever had.
Our horses , cattle , hogs , sheep
ind poultry all-mid not be without
1 good representation. The
> remiums along all lines are
norc liberal than ever before ,
f you have not received a prem-
um list write to Ihe secretary ,
le will gladly send you one.
The business men of Broken
3o\v have provided for good races
ind you will see something better
n that line than we have ever
lad here before. Other attrac-
ions will be as good as the man-
igement can provide , for tltc fair
mist be a success. We can
Mircly make it so if we are all
villing to do our part in a public
.piriled way.
The fair "is being advertised in
he eastern states. We expect
nany strangers here. They will
come to see what we can raise
Mrmer friends let us show them.
lelp us every one of you to fill
he big new building we have
ust finished , with grains grasses
and roots and don't forget the
ilfalfa. The fair is yours , you
can make it what you please.
The management will help you
what they can. They will try to
entertain you while here , but as
Lo whether the fair will pay
from a business standpoint , in
bringing new sctllcrs and more
people among us , depends en-
Lirely on whether you will show
up the advantages of our county
as I know you can , if you only
will iryDo not depend upon
youMicighbor , but let every one
do his part.

A Glorious Time.
About thirty-one of Broken
Bow Rchokahs went Wednesday
the 12th , to Oconto lo assist the
Assembly President , Mrs. C. 15.
Davis , to organise a Rehckah
lodge in that city. They drove
across the country in the after
noon , returning home the next
day in time for dinner. It was a
trip that will long be remember
ed by the Broken Bow Kebckahs.
And the } * will always remember
the Oconto Rcbekahs in their
kindness and their generous way
in entertaining them. The
grand supper they had for them
tells that Ocouto Rcbekahs are
good cooks and sometime in the
future hope that we may be per
mitted .to take another supper
with them. This is the second
lodge that the Broken Bow Rc
bekahs have assisted the Assem
bly President in organising the
past six months , the other at
Mcrna last March. Me rim Rc
bekahs have reason to be proud
of their lodge , as they are doing
excellent work , and we know
Oconto will be proud of her
lodge before a year if one may
judge from the interest they took
in the work that evening. One
meeting the Assembly President ,
Mrs. C. E. Davis , never forgote
her kind generous way. Several
visitors from Callawas were
there. ONK WHO WAS THKKK.
