To The Voters Of The 29th Senatorial
District
Tho Hon John C Gammill of Fron
tier county has consented to become a
candidate for senator It is not a mat
ter of his seeking but a matter of yield
ing to tho wishes of his friends who are
desirous of seeing that important office
filled by an honest and capable man
who will bo a credit and an honor to our
people I have personally known Mr
Gammill for over twenty years and I
havo yet to meet a moro courteous gen
ial honorable and manly man than I
have found in him
Ho was a Captain in tho Civil War
and is ono of a comparatively few of tho
survivors of that contest still young
enough and vigorous enough to respond
to the call of the public His years are
resting lightly upon him his heart is
young and he retains his military
bearing
He has beon a resident of Frontier
county for a quarter of a century whore
he can safely claim that everyono is his
friend They like him for his rugged
honesty his gonial companionship and
his true western hospitality for his
door has never been closed to the way
farer A farmer and ranchman during
all of these years he is a true represent
ative of the large majority of tho voters
of his district
In national politico at least he has
always been republican He was a keen
admirer of Blaine a most loyal support
er of McKinley while Roosevelt chal
lenged his perfect approval He was
chairman of his home delegation in the
state convention that nominated Norris
Brown and Governor Sheldon and sup
ported both Further evidence that he
belongs to the progressive element of
his party is unnecessary
If elected he will be a senator who
will be warmly welcomed by Governor
Sheldon or any Governor having a simi
lar policy for they would at once recog
nize in him one who would not have to
be watched one who would be a true
loyal and capable supporter not only
upon the floor where all are exposed to
the public gaze but in the secrecy of
the committee room where the real
work is dono and where tho knave dis
plays his hand He is a good public
speaker with a direct concise style that
carries conviction and commands recog
nition
My purpose in preparing and publish
ing this communication is to contribute
what I can to securing a senator from
this district who will faithfully and con
scientiously represent its people and
interests I publish this at this time
that all who desire may verify my state
ments before casting their votes

Street Lighting Situation
While tho council has not as yet de
finitely settled the matter it looks as
though both gas and electricity would
bo used in lighting the city While tho
city has contracted with tbe gas comp
any for 75 GOcandle power lights at
200 per light per month amounting
to 1800 annually it is understood that
on Main avenue at least several arc elec
tric lights would bo retained These
cost 9 per month While it is claimed
the city will be much better lighted un
der this arrangement the total cost too
will be materially greater amounting
to about 2200 annually as against
about 1500 as at present

Political Conference at McCook
Earnest enthusiasm marked tho con
ference held here Tuesday between
Chairman Hayword and tho county
chairmen of this section of Nebraska
From the views of those present tho
conference developed tho fact that a
strong Taft sentiment is steadily grow
ing in this section of tho state and that
tbe Bryan onthusiasm which formerly
characterized tho campaigns of tho Fair
viow statesman is noticeably absent
This lack of tho usual Bryan senti
ment was attributed by tho county
chairmen present to the weakness of
tho Democratic candidato which was
also responsible for the increasing
sentiment for Taft The Republicans
of this part of tho state are well satis
fied with the progress of tho campaign
The day was spent in tbo exchanga ot
suggestions between Chairman Hay
wood and tbe county leaders This
conference which was tho second will
bo followed by a third which will con
vene in Hastings Wednesday Among
those in attendance Tuesday were
