The democrats arc allll In a squal
bio over their gubornuturnl candi
dates. It all coined about by their
candidate Shallenbarger trying to bo
a democrat and a pop at the mime
time.
0. II. Moody and \V. . ! . Illco , the
republican nominees for the state
legislature are among Custor counly
best citizens and are entitled to
the loyal support of the republican
voters of this district.
It Is reported that the breweries
of the state already have paid work
ers on all trains In the eastern part
of the state using their persuasive
powers to the traveling public who
live within the state to support
Dahlman for governor.
In making tip your list of candi
dates worthy of your support do not
fail to Include Walter A. George for
State Treasurer on the republican
ticket. Walt has always been able
to make good and he will not disap
point his friends should ho be elect
ed treasurer of the state.
One of our contemporaries has
been poking fun at Congressman
"Klnkald by putting words to his In
itlals thus Malting Promises Kln
kald. Without taking up the gaunt
let with ashowlng that the congress
man generally makes good on his
promises , etc. , we may add that
according to the primaries the words
might bo revised to road : Mighty
Popular Klnkald , and prove It by
the primary returns. Goring Cour
ier.
M. L. Fries , the republican nomi
nee for state senator of this dis
trict , Is no now man. When mem
ber of the senate a few years ago
ho proved his ability as well as his
friendliness to the Interest of the
common people of the state. You
can well afford to give him your
unqualified support.
The refusal of Col. Roosovclt to
sit at the banquet last week In Chicago
cage with Senator Larimer puts anew
now emphasis on the Importance of
looking well to the kind of company
you keep. The fact that Senator
Lorlmer , was a member of the Ham
ilton club that was entertaining Mr.
Roosevolt.niado his refusal to sit at
the banquet with him moro pro
nounced.
In his speech at ( lie state fall-
last Wednesday Mayor Dahlman pub
llcly declared that no one should
vote for him for governor If they do
not bcllovo with him on the liquor
question. He reiterated his deter
mination that If elected governor
and If a county option law Is pass
ed by the legislature ho would veto
It. Ho claims his right to veto the
will of the majority because ho Is
making that Issue his platform.
This Is a tluMj when the friends
of good government and sobriety
should band themselves together , re
gardless of the party affiliations
against Dahlmnn. Ills supporters
In the primaries were not confined
to the democrat party for without
.tho support of the whiskey republi
cans ho would have never received
the nomination over Shallcnbargor.
Those democrats who believe In goc t
citizenship should prove their loy
alty to principal by helping to de
feat him.
The Oconto Register has changed
from n. six column quarto to a five
column quarto. The lack of patron-
ngo of the business men of the town
Is given as the cause. It Is not un
usual for business men to forget the
Importance that newspaper is to a
town and the country In general and
adopt false economy by withholding
their patronage from the newspapers
that makes their town and malntan-
nnco that gives them and their town
the business.

The republican form of ballot
which was In VOKIIO was very much
superior to the ono furnished tin by
the Into democrat legislature. Und
er the republican law and ballot It
provided you wore given a chance
lo name your ballot and It was fur-
nlHhed you by the judges , you could
vote for who you pleased of the
party of your preference and pass
out. The democrat ballot furnishes
the names of all candidates on the
saint' shoot which enables a republi
can to vole for the democrat nom
inees or the democrat to vote for re
publican nominees. It gives the re
publicans a chance to nominate dem
ocrat aspirants not nt all favorable
to the rank and file of the party
or democrats may vote to nominate
the weakest candidate on the repub
lican ticket. This Is another argu
ment that the safe and sane way to
do Is to elect republicans to office
In county , slate and nation In order
to secure the best laws possible for
the peoplo.
DAIIIiMAX AM ) I'ATKICK AT

Chief among the notables-at the
State Fair who spoke Wednesday ,
was the democratic nominee for gov
ernor. Ills was largely a speech In
appreciation of self , a tribute to Ills
own proud record as mayor , and a
promise to veto every old thing that
came in his head and out of hlu mind
and In part the .lim-Jim said :
"They say I'm a c/ar , " said ho ,
"Just because I say beforehand that
1 will veto a certain bill If It comes
to mo. Well , you all heard em say
I would vote It , didn't you. If I go
out In this campaign saying this and
you people vote mo Into office It Is
the will of the majority , alnt It , '
and If I vote a certain bill I will be
following that will , won't 1 ? ( cheers
started on the platform by John (5.
Manor. ) The veto power 1ms been
part of this government over since
Its founding. It is put there to bo
exercised to secure justice and I
will exercise It forty times a day if
need bo. "
Senator Patrick didn't say any
thing calculated to warm the heart
of the mayor , when ho spoke In pjirt
"If the people of Nebraska desire
a chief executive who stands for the
highest and host government , for
sobriety , decency , homo and a square
deal for the people of our common
wealth , they can have such a man by
the election of 0. II. Aldrlch , the
nominee of the republican party.On
the other hand if It Is the desire of
a majority that the gubernatorial
office be prostituted by the reign of
lawlessness , debauchery and drunken
on revelry , they may bo entirely
gratified by the olctlon of the cand
idate nominated by the brewers , the
railroads , the gamblers , the thugs ,
saloon keepers and every disreput
able , lawless and criminal Interest
In the state. "Tho democratic party
presents no candidate for the office
of governor. For which omission we
are indebted to the disreputable and
dishonest primary law enacted two
years ago , under which the worst
clement In the republican party nom
Inated the worst candidates for the
democratic party. " Dunning Hoost-
er.
A Compliment ( o Senator llurkett.
When Colonel Roosevelt was in
Omaha September 2nd , and made
a speech at the Auditorium , he
was introduced by Senator I3ur-
kett. In response to the Sen
ator's introductory addressColonel
Roosevelt gave him l a splendid
endorsement. The former Pres
ident's remarks , as reported in
the Lincoln Journal were as
follows :
"I am particularly pleased to
be introduced by Senator Bur-
kett"said the Colonel , ' 'because
he was one of the men on whom
I especially relied while I was
President , both while he was
in the house and in the senate.
On one occosion he paid a tribute
to me which may have been
entirely unmerited , in which he
described what the typical
American public servant must
be , lie said : In the great
struggle of life he ( the good
American ) must be prepared to
take the side of the man rather
than of the dollar. Old time
methods in politics , old time
ideals of governmental duty and
prerogative are relegated to the
junk shop of political antiquities
No man who is skeptical in his
own mind of the righteousness
of the advanced ground that the
American people have taken
socially or morally can haye
their confidence. No man who
is fearful of popular rule , or is
more afraid of the people' oppres
sion of the people withou ; law is
eligible to popular esteem.
"In my case , " Colonel Roosevelt
velt contincd , "All I can say is
that I r vi er' * > tvori.u to 1m up |
