Republican Platform
We the nominees of the republican
caucus to fill the various city offices
make the following declarations of
principles
Wo believ die vigorous administra
tion of city affairs which has
ized the term of tho present executive
has been eminently satisfactory to local
commercial interests and that a con
tinuance of the policies that have been
inaugurated is essential to the welfare of
the community
We in common with all good citizens
believe in the enforcement of statutory
and municipal regulations for the
government of the citys institutions
and its inhabitants and in the mainte
nance of good order and dececnt con
duct within the corporate limits
We believe those who are entrusted
with the control of public affairs aro
the servants of the people by whom
they a e elected and that as such
they should in so far as lies within
their power fulfill the will of their con
stituents

and there arc doubtless many more
owners c f such machines who will be
o lad to know that while such r a
chines have no actual value the DE
LA VAL Company continues to make
liberal trade allowances for them
because of the opportunity such ex
changes afford for the most practical
illustration possible of the difference
between good and poor separators
and putting a stop to the sale ol
others like them in the same neigh
borhood Nobody is injured through
the re sale of these old machines as
they are simply broken up and
scrapped for their old metal value
Then there are many thousands of
ity favors the issuance of licenses under
the Slocumb law and that the verdict
of tho majority cf our citizans in this
regard as in ail others should be re
spected by thoso whom tho people
choose to represent them
We believe if the McCook Water
Works Company shall persist in violat
ing tho ordinances of the city of Mc
Cook and shail refuse to supply water

the consumers tho city should at onco

THE PRESENT STATUS
Many of our busy citizens have been
so occupiod with thoir private concerns
as to lose sight of tho status of the water
question Some huo fnllen into tho
idea that tho lGcrato has been accepted
by the water works company Not for a
minuto They aro prosecuting their suit
at this moment having carried it up to
tho Supreme Court whore they hope to
get by hook or crook a reversal or a new
trial or some kind of a victory over tho
city They havent a ghost of a show
on the merits of the case but they rem
ember the other suits against tho
city and they have their case in the
s une hands and they hope to wear out
tho city Some of our citizons express
the fear that in tho end they will get
their way in the courts and that tho
company will then compel the users of
water to pay up at 30 cents per thous
and gallons from the time suit was be
gun until now How would you like
that
Thats one phase of the affair But
like all shrewd hunters for game or vic
tims they have more than one string to
their bow They are saying nothing
hero to the people but they have had a
bunch of their Lincoln stockholders
hero recently tearfully imploring the
city council to buy their old out worn
and outgrown plant for S75000although
they claim at oilier times that the de
preciation amounts to 3 per cent a year
which leaves the plant at present only
worth about 81S00000 If they can at
the present citv election elect two non
committal men to the city council they
will hope to beg off the building of tho
city plant which the people have order
ed built How will you like that A
third string is now being worked for all
it is worth they have spread an alarm
among tho saloon men and those in fav
hi that direction
or of the present status
tion attempting to cloud the real and
declared issues of the election and to
raise issues not raised by the platforms
If thoy succeed in that they hope to
worn their ends on the water consumer
and they will keep that wooden horse
moving on the field until the polls close
April 6th Will you be diverted from
your real interests by that cunning
move You will pay dearly for it if you
do This sort of deal goes by twenty or
twenty five ear periods and if they get
a couple of plunks or S or 10 a year
out of you more than is just it means a
total of 8100 or S200 or more out of each
water consumer for the total period
That will buy automobiles and create
bloated wealth sure enough Are we
hrirrht Rnniifrh and enoutrh alive with
good red American blood to hold this
matter level or will we oe oougut aim
sold and traded in like cattle
