The Tribune would urge the Repub
licans of Bed willow county to be wide
awake lest in great confidence they be
caught napping The whole ticket can
be and should be elected without the
loss of one
Jasper Phillips of the Indianola
Beporter is quite unnecessarily shocked
because he failed to recognize Dr S L
Green the Republican nominee for coun
ty judge who recently visited old friends
in Indianola his former home Enough
and to spare of the voters of Bedwillow
county will recognize the doctor to in
sure his election to the office of county
judge The tooth of time is not over
looking even Jasper though he is im
pervious to the tender sentiments that
many considerate people hold dear
Republicans of the First commis
sioner district should make a united
and energetic effort to return Commis
sioner Waterman to the board of county
commissioners He has made an honest
honorable and conscientious member of
the board He keeps in mind the
best interests of the people of the en
tire county and has always earnestly
sought to do his duty along this line
There are no good and sufficient reasons
why he should not bo reelected and
nothing personal or factional should
stand in the way of his election Vote
for Waterman
Strenuous Effort Demanded
The Republicans should make strenu
ous efforts to roll up the largest possible
majority for Judge Norris He stands
for the American idea of giving work to
American workingmen and keeping the
wheels of industry running Judge
Norris is a young man of courage and
conviction and could be depended upon
to assist the present administration in
its efforts to curb the encroachment of
the trusts and gigantic corporations and
and at the same time avoid doing any
thing to disturb the financial and indus
trial structure of this country so as to
bring disaster and ruin to our country

s Hon George W Norris
Judge Norris Republican nominee for congressman from
the Fifth congressional district was born on a farm in
Sandusky county Ohio July u 1861 When but a mere
child his father took sick and died and in later years he was
called upon to support his mother and several sisters who
were in rather destitute circumstances This he did by work
ing as a farm hand for neighboring farmers during spring
summer and fall months and going to district school during
the winter months He has plowed picked corn and run a
threshing machine After passing through the district school
he went to school at the Baldwin university and later the
Northern Indiana normal school after which he taught school
for a number of years during which he devoted his spare
time to the study of law He then decided to abandon
teaching and took a course in law 1885 he came to Ne
braska to open up a law office at Beaver City and while
there held the office of county attorney with marked ability
In 1895 he was elected judge of the district bench of the
Fourteenth district as a Republican when the district was
considered a Fusion stronghold
In 1 898 he was reelected by a majority of 400 and ran
1100 ahead of his ticket Personally Judge Norris is a
self made man and has schooled himself out of his own hard
earnings besides rendering much valuable assistance in the
support of his mother As a judge on the bench it is freely
and frankly admitted by attorneys who have pleaded before
him that he is beyond a doubt the most competent judge on
the district bench Grand Island Press Populist
Compare the above clean and honorable record of Judge
Norris with that of his opponent Mr Shallenberger in the
president of the Bank of Alma His father was a banker
Two of his brothers are bankers Another one of his broth
ers is collector for the great harvesting machinery trust It
was Shallenbergers Alma bank which bought up quack doctor
notes given by unwary farmers of Harlan county and it was
his bank that enforced collections on the same But Mr
Shallenberger is ashamed of his record and tries to leave the
impression that he is a farmer by removing his name from the
bank stationery and advertising matter during campaign He
should be given an opportunity to resume active management
of note shaving and mortgage foreclosing in the Bank of Alma
5 A Merited Endorsement c
Now that President Roosevelt has successfully brought
about arbitration in the great anthracite strike it is of supreme
moment to Republicans all over the country that his splendid
and essentially courageous administration be gloriously en
dorsed by the people And let it be known clearly that in
no possible way can the hands of our manly and energetically
persistent president be better upheld and his policies carried
out and maintained than by returning to congress this fall a
house of representatives which directly voices the sentiments
of the people fully in accord with President Roosevelt who
has just given the people of the United States additional and
unmistakable evidence of his worth and laid upon the people
the added proof of his high claim to their confidence and
sturdy endorsement
And now The Tribune wants to bring this matter home
directly to the people of the Fifth Congressional District of
Nebraska and lays the burden upon the hearts of the voters
of the district The success of A C Shallenberger in the
coming election can mean nothing but a rebuff to the presi
dent The election of G W Norris carries with it the hearty
and unqualified endorsement of the president who certainly
deserves well of the people and at the same time places in
congress a man in every respect well equipped to give the
people of the district an able and efficient representative
who has given a good account of himself in every public
trust imposed upon him
Let every Republican in the district put his shoulder to
the wheel and the result will be a glorious victory and a
merited endorsement
Republicans Called to Duty i
J H Mickey and Judge Norris will be elected just as
sure as Republicans do their duty The state is Republican
and has the smallest percentage of illiteracy of any state in
the union This means it will go Republican Intelligence
is a birth mark of Republicanism Mr Mickey and Judge
Norris are in line with the most intelligent political sentiment
of the day If you want the glorious policy of President
Roosevelt on the Cuban reciprosity question carried out vote
for Judge Norris If you want the trusts controlled vote
for him and he will help the president in this all important
work He will assist in giving congress power to control
these trusts The Democracy controlled by the south will
oppose the giving to congress this power So there you are
It is up to the voters to say whether or not the trusts shall be
controlled A vote for Norris is a vote to put these great
corporations under intelligent regulation We take it there
fore that you will do your duty and have a clear conscience
hereafter Hastings Tribune
Now is the time when the campaign grows good
The Democrats orate and the Republicans saw wood
Out on the highways the great unwashed go
With tales of calamity and never ending woe
They trample on prosperity and all wise laws assail
But always dodge tho issue of the full dinner pail
Several Lincoln preachers notably
he of the convention hall voice Rev
L P Ludden are unduly agitated over
the recent decision of tho Nebraska
supremo court pertaining to tho use of
tho Bible in the common schools The
doctor looks for an imminent reign of
terror but he will look in vain for
outlawry immorality all that is evil
to follow the banishment of tho Bible
from the public schools The Tribune
does not oppose tho use of tho Bible
in the public schools nor does it believe
with certain English divines in high
places that the Bible can no longer
be regarded as an infallible guide in
morality and religion quite tho con
trary But the use of tho Bible in the
public schools so far as our experience
and observation go has been practically
obsolete for years So much the worse
The present decision will not seriously
aggravate the situation If the court
please The Tribune believes that there
is more damage and danger in tho too
evident banishment of the Biblo from
the churches and homes and in the
splendid isolation of tho precepts and
practices of the religion of the lowly
Nazarene by His followers than there
is in the important decision of any court
on this terrestrial ball
The Fusion clackers are appealing to
the old soldiers for votes to secure the
re election of Shallenberger a dyed in
the wool Democrat on account of his
wonderful and laborious efforts in secur
ing pension allowances for the old vet
erans Now comrades dont let such
campaign flim flam blind your eyes for
one moment as concerning the Demo
cratic position taken on every general
pension law ever enacted by congress it
being fully established in a record that
can never be blotted out that the
whole Democratic party as a partyrank
and file man and man with scarcely a
sinoIe exception voted nprninsfc tho ms-
sage of such bills Republican voters
alone gave the veterans their dues and
I that in spite of tho opposition of the
Democrats It will be many long years
yet before the old soldiers their sons or
1 even their grandsons will forget who
stood for their rights in all pension legis
lation when old age and weakened
constitutions from wounds received or
sickness incurred in the line of duty
made their call an imperative one
Comrades judge them by their record
then vote for aloyal son of a loyal father
who gave his life for his country dont
let the made-to-order eulogiums of
frothy campaign tooters for one moment
cause you to forget that the whole
Democratic record for the last forty
years has been flatly against the claims
of the veterans then when the morning
of November 4th dawns see that every
loyal voter old or young gathers at the
polls and casts his ticket for the election
of a man who needs no whitewashing
and whose whole record is above sus
picion or reproach concerning pension
or any other question of public policy
That man is Hon G W Norris Cur
