The campaign promises to be decid
edly warm from now until election
day. There's no telling , either , what
a day may bring forth or who may be
"shown up" next. Of whatever name
or party let the rascals be brought be
fore the footlights. Plattsmouth
News.
Roosevelt says that he is not in
charge of the campaign , but that he
is greatly interested in it , and from
the way hejj is making things lively
for the opposition we are led to be
lieve that his interest is accomplish
ing wonders.
Mr. Shallenberger will Hud it ra
ther difficult to produce any reasons
why Governor Sheldon should not be
re-elected this fall. Stanton Picket.
In reply to the Roosevelt letter ,
Bryan attacks the Roosevelt policies ,
And yet he claims to have organised
most of them. _
.Bryan hated to see llaskell resign
as treasurer of the democratic Na
tional Committee but could not help
himself.
Stand up for Republican principles.
They mean continued prosperity.
Afr , Bryan's sign reads : "Para
mount Issues Made While You
\Vait.
"Shall the people rule ? " See the
ollicial records of the votes cast in
ISJMJaml 11)00. )
Bryan's political principles are like
the price of whale oil subject to
change without notice.
A vote for Kin.sey for state senator
ncans that this section of Nebraska
, vill be looked after.
There is not much consolation in the
itatement that meats will be no cheap
er for the next six months.
Iteep the Broken Bow Lecture and
Entertainment course in mind. The
irst attraction will be October 15.
Bryan's friends say Hi to I is a dead
issue. The same will be said ol the
man who invented it alter Nov. . ' ! .
All that is left for Bryan to do is t <
write a nice leter about himself in
answer to the Roosevelt letter to Taft
l < Yom the rapidity and style ol .Judge
Tail's answers , it is not likely that
Bryan will invite him to speak any
more.
Congressman Longworth says that
Taft is standing on his record and
that Bryan is running away from his
record.
The only way to keep the "square
deal" going in Nebraska , is for the
people to vote for the Republican
nominees.
Hi very other parrot in Nebraska is
now screeching in unison with the big
green one in Lincoln : "Shall the
people rule ? "
Bryan has settled the bank deposit
juestion in his own mind , bur the
luestion of the deposit of ballots in
November still worries him.
And this man Hearst , who is saying
such mean things about Bryan , is the
one whom the Nebraskan recently
mentioned in a list of Democrats "tit
to be President.
Mr. Bryan shows what an nncon-j
scions humorist he is when he tells
Judge Taft after the latter has been
so long in the public service , to go
make a record for himself.
Clean and simple living under a
thatched roof is infinitely happier and
more to be desired than a nerve-
wrecking .struggle for luxury and os
tentation amidst palatial surround
ings.
Railroad men refuse to trust Bryan
who two years ago was for govern
ment ownership of railroads. This
is one of the numerous reasons why i
there is a lack of enthusiam in the
Democratic Camp.
Nearly all of the horses in the
the country have become used to the
automobiles and pa'little if any at
tention to them. It tool- time and
patience to train them to look with
good nature on these horseless ve
hicles. Their owners will have an
other task on their hands in getting
them used to the aeroplanes which
will be Hitting through the air in the
near future.

Prof. T. C. Grimes moved his
household goods from Brock ,
Nebraska , to Callaway last
week and is now settled in the
Twist property. The Professor
is the principal of the Callaway
schools and for the time he has
been superintending the schools
gives every evidence that the
said schools are Betting along
successfully.
Rev. Seabrooke goes to Con

He has supplied the pulpit of the
M. E. Church for two mouths

Several car loads of stock were
shipped from this point last
week. '

ation report a very successful
meeting last week. Receipts
will be sufficient to pay 100 cents

ciation from flcbt.
The verdict of acquittal of de
fendant in the case of State vs
Garland tried in District court
last week is universally

Justice Drum's court has been

Not since the great crisis ol 185)0 ) ,
when the wise and experienced states'
man , William McKinley , as "the ad
vance agent of prosperity , " gave new
hope and confidence to a sull'ering
people , has a political campaign been
opened with such a splendid argury
of success as attended the .Republican
meeting at Youngstown , ( ) . , last Sat
urday. The speeches of Governor
Hughes and Senator Beveridge wore
io thorough , comprehensive and con
vincing that it is no wonder they were
greeted with tremendous enthusiasm (
by the assembled thousands of work
ingmen , Itas particularly appro
priate , too , that the national campaign
should be opened in Youngstown , lor
that thriving town is a grent manu
facturing center where many thousand
of skilled workingmen make their
homes , and the campaign this year
particularlyconcerns the workingmen.
The chief and. almost only real issue
is whethei thee shall be jobs or soup
houses foi workingmen for the next
four years. It is no exaggeration to
.say that Pie destruction campaign
which the Democrats are pledged by
their platform to inaugurate against
the business interests of the country
in the event of the election of Bryan
and Kern would parali/e industrial
activities and Call a halt upon busi
ness enterprises , if there were any
possibility bf a Democratic victory.
Whether justly so or not , the capital
ists , financiers and business men of
large atl'airs would certainly be alarm
ed at Bryan's election , and even the
boldest would hesitate to invest
money in a new venture , at least until
it was known what the results would
be of the Democratic program of legis
lation. Even in the case of estab
lished industries credits would be so
rudely shaken , if not destroyed , that
it would be virtually impossible to
carry on the business. And this alarm
of capital would hurt the workingmen
most of all in the closing of factories
and the shutting down of a ) 1 sorts of
industries which would be necessitat
ed by the withdrawal ol crech'ts. Un-

It is predicted that Ceo. AV. Berge ,
who received the populist nomination
for ] Governor is about to withdraw in
favor of Shallenberger , who "copped"
the plurality of democratic votes , for
the same otlice at the recent primar
ies , thus insuring "fusion , " a word
dear to the democratic ear. Inas
much Mi * . Berge in tiling for the nom
ination was required br law to sign
a statement that he would abide by
the result ol the primary and if elect
ed serve , the. question arises that if
he now withdraws , is he not breaking
his pledge word into smithereens ?
It looks very much that way , and il
this sort of manipulation of the pee
ple's expressed will is to continue at
the hands of the democratic-populist
politicians , their disgusted followers
will have a clear right to ask. "Is

Not so many voters are * so narrow
