Mr Hasty Announces Himself
In this issue will be found the formal
announcement of tho candidacy of Mr
D S Hasty of Arapahoe Furnas coun
ty for state senator 29th district sub
ject to the decision of the Republican
primary election September 1st Mr
Hasty is a former state senator and an
old resident of the district and needs
no introduction to the voters of the
district
Silas R Barton Republican can
didate for the nomination of state audi
tor comes fourth on the ballot Dont
make an error in casting this vote but
look for the fourth man Silas R Bar
ton and you will nominate a man who
will not only strengthen the ticket but
bo a credit to the party
Men learned wise and patriotic may
devote themselves unstintingly to the
solution of the problem but until the
water is squeezed out of railroad stock
aud real values are thus established no
just and equitable freight rates will be
secured in Nebraska or any other state
As well attempt to cure a malignant
caucer by applications of ointment to
the local eruption
The measure of the success or failure
-of law enforcement in tho largo is the
executive and public sentiment Laws
of all kinds are usually enforceable if
the executive and his officers want to
really enforce them And some times
a thoroughly awakened public con
science and sentiment compel law en
forcement despite attitude of executive
and officers
It is our opinion that the republicans
of Nebraska can do no better than nom
inate H L Cook for state auditor We
know he is honest and competent and in
nominating him we take no chances
We suppose the other enndidates for
that position are also honest and will be
come competent after a time if elected
but Mr Cook is equipped now to meet
the legislature when it convenes and
give all needed information regarding
bills filed and demands made As dep
uty auditor Mr Cook has demonstrated
his fitness in every way for the chief
position and his name will add strength
to the republican ticket Other candi
dates may be very gocd men and yet not
be in the same class with Mr Cook in
this race Tho Times hopes for the
good of the party anrt the state that he
will receive the nomination York
Daily Times
The chairmen of ihe Republican
Democratic and Peoples Independent
state central committees have united in
the following statement favoring the su
preme court amendments In our
judgment the proposed constitutional
amentment increasing the number of
judges of the supreme court which is to
be voted on at the coming primaries is
a step in the right direction This
amendment if adopted will enable the
court to hear and decide all cases with
out the assistance of commissioners
The substitution of four judges for six
commissioners will not only give the
state a better working court but will be
a great saving of expense to litigants in
that court and hence a great benefit to
the people of the state We hope that
every voter of our respective parties will
vote for it at the coming primaries

Practically all doubts have been re
cently removed as to the attitude the
Republican voters of Red Willow coun
ty should sustain toward Railroad Com
missioner Williams who is a candidate
for renomination at the primary elec
tion next Tuesday The fight being
made on him should insure his renom
ination and reelection Apparently the
greatest crime Williams has committed
is his friendliness toward tho people his
desire and effort to give them a fair
show in controversies with the railroad
oompanies
That Williams is no death bed reform
er is indicated by the compliment paid
him by United States Senator LaFol
lette in Lincoln August 18th at the
Epworth Assembly
You have made a good start in this
state in the way of railroad regulation
We have on the platform hero tonight
one of your state officers whom I have
known for many years He was in at
the beginning of tho fight in Wisconsin
23 years ago He is now doing good work
here I want to say to you that the
people of Nebraska will do well to re
elect Commissioner Williams this fall
You may think this is dropping into
politics but I could not help saying this
much for my old friend

A Matter of Record
To the Voters of the 29tb Senatorial
District
Tho Hon D S Hasty is once more
asking you to support him for state sen
ator His homo paper in making his
announcement says thnt he has no one
to publish paid press notices or hini
If that is intended for me I will say
that I will gladly do for him what I
have done for Mr Gammill publish
bis record
Mr Hasty was put in the field six
years ago by the railroad machine and
nominated and elected We do not
seriously blame him for that for the
railroad machine had control then and
that was the only way that a senator
coulb bo made at that time in this dist
rict There was no serious fight made
in that legislature for any measure reg
ulating freight or passenger rates The
railroad had too many safe men in the
legislature for anyone to seriously hope
for success along that line No one
therefore knew the degree of excellence
which Mr Hasty attained as a railroad
senator until about the time for nomin
ating his successor Mr Hasty was at
tending the state convention There
was considerable agitation over railroad
taxation at the time and he wa3 asked
by a reporter of the Nebraska State
Journal to state his views on the sub
ject His sage reply was that he did
not think that the roads should not be
taxed That there was no use of tax
ing them for they would add it to the
freight rates and collect it back from the
public Mr Hasty evidently thought
that the railroad managers were the on
ly ones who were listening to his re
marks He never once thought of the
public until it was too late But the
public heard it and the machine did
not venture to put up Mr Hasty again
and he was exchanged for another
That was four years ago and had Mr
Hasty shown any disposition to sever
his relations with the roads and cease
working at all times and places for their
interests we would not now be relating
this history What was Mr Hasty
doing two years ago He was fighting
Norris Brown for senator to the best of
his ability and doing what he could for
Senator Millard as all railroad support
ers were Norris Brown believed that
the railroads should be taxed and the
taxes collected and he attended to the
collection Hasty condemned the prac
tice Mr Hasty was in the state con
vention as a delegate and did what he
could to defeat Mr Brown Geo L
Sheldon was nominated for governor by
that convention Did Mr Hasty vote
for him By no means He voted
every time for Mr Miles of Hastings
the Burlington candidate Mr Hasty
has just been endorsed as a candidate
by the Nebraska Railway Employees
Protective Association which claims
that it is going to counteract the fool
legislation of last year and one of
its avowed purposes is to defeat Gov
Sheldon
Contrast this record with that of Mr
Gammill given in a former letter Mr
Gammill was in the convention of two
years ago and as chairman of his home
delegation did all in his power to assist
the nomination of Senator Brown and
Gov Sheldon
As between these two men there is the
same difference that there is between
Joseph Cannon and Theodore Roose
velt Every voter in this district should
be at the primaries and express their
preference as to these men
Heretofore I have contented myself
with an attempt to make the people of
this district acquainted with Mr Gam
mill and had Mr Hasty confined him
self to his own matters this letter would
not have been written I promised Mr
Gammills friends that if he became a
candidate that 1 would assist him what
I could I knew what he stood for and
I felt perfectly willing to make some
sacrifices for the principles as an
nounced in his platform I have done
so before Mr Gammills wife was
sick at the time and her continued serious
illness has prevented his attending to
his campaign The responsibility has
fallen upon me and I have felt that I
should attend to it as though it were
my own Mr liammill discharged
his duty to the people and the Union by
permitting himself to be shot at for
nearly four years at about 813 per
month As compared with such a sac
rifice let me not mention mine One of
the highest and most respected public
officials in this district says that he is
supporting Mr Gammill because the
honor belongs to him He is right I
hope you feel tho same toward him
Some have said they do not know me
Ask your banker and I will be satisfied
with the reply

County Attorney P E Reeder who
is a candidato for reelection points with
prido to his record as county attorney
for the past two years
Forty misdemeanor cases tried since
I have been in office Not one of these
have cost tho county any money I
have required the complaining witness
to furnish security for costs Of nine
felony cases where the sentence is to
the penitentiary tried seven have
pleaded guilty and sent to the peniten
tiary for terms of from one year to life
Of these the Conner case there was no
expense whatever to the county oxcept
for special deputy sheriffs to prevent a
lynching In the other six tho expense
was nominal as the state paid for ex
tradition and all expense after sentence
The costs were small as there was no
jury and no witness fees to amount to
anything In the Gossard matter I
filed the complaint and forced him to
resign myself and in the face of the
fact that he was sent to tho asylum as
an insane patient I secured tho short
age from the Surety Company In this
I made two trips to Lincoln to secure
the assistance of tho state officials on
mv own expense Never filed a bill for
this expense In his trial I had the as
sistance of Morlan considered the best
prosecutor in Western Nebraska In
the Blackey or Boyer cases I convicted
tho woman and she paid 100 into the
county as a fine and costs In these
cases a felony had undoubtedly been
committed and everything pointed to
their guilt and under the law I had to
prosecute or the attorney general could
have had me impeached That the
county had to pay this expense was not
my fault but that of tho laws if any
as they exist on the statute book I
could not refuse to prosecute these
cases because the crime was committed
in a house of prostitution as parties
came to me demanding to file a com
plaint and that I prosecute In addi
tion to this is the case where the county
commissioners will have to pay back
some money they paid out wrongfully
P E Reeder
Frank Moores Position
In accordance with a very general de
sire that legislative candidates define
their positions on some very important
measures I gladly submit the following
To the Voters of Red Willow County
I heartily approve of the primary law
anti pass and railway rate legislation
and would be glad to support other leg
islation alongthis line
I am in favor of permitting the people
to vote upon any question of public int
erest Therefore I am in favor of
County Option and will work and
vote for such a law if I have an oppor
tunity to do so
I believe in some law that will furnish
a way for the establishment of good
country roads
I am a Roosevelt Republican and be
lieve in the policy of the square deal
I solicit your support at the primary
election to be held Sept 1st and promise
if elected to work and vote for the inter
ests of Red Willow county
Respectfully
Frank Moore
