skirmish began with nominations for mayor Among those nominated wer W B Whittaker by Fahnestock ex Mayor Stephens by Starr W R by Sam Dulaney Sylvester Cordeal by W R Starr After speeches by Hons

Satisfaction guaranteed bringing with them whole and entire the thunder of the Peoples Water Caucus which they had successfully captured in their heroic sortie With out a hitch or a break this platform was slipped under the feet of the wail ing candidates and the labors of the caucus were complete BUT VOTERS Do you think the candidates of that caucus will hold themselves even formally bound by a platform adopted subsequently to the nominations Heretofore those same men have refused to be bound by the unanimous man date of the whole community Will you send them back to the city council to sit on the lid an other two years It is a show down this time Vote for McAdams for ma yor and for Wm Middleton and H C Brown for Councilmen WEBSTERS DICTIONARY There is a word which Websters Unabridged Dictionary defines as fol lows a state of government or so ciety where individuals do what they please with impunity Hence Con fusion It is not necessary that build ings be burned or houses and stores plundered the condition exists all right if the sovereign will the man date of the people be disregarded or disobeyed McCook has seen some of it in the past two years The sov ereign voters recorded their mandate as duly provided by law They did all that is laid down No act was omitted Their command was corn- plete It was to the city council It pay Yet we find the council men upon whom this mandate was laid p suming to use the following language If after a careful consideration of the entire question it shall seem for the best interests of the city that a mun icipal plant be installed at this time the Republican candidates will be in favor of its installation Thereupon they proceeded for the past tun years to do nothing to carry out this mandate of the sovereign power On the contrary we find them very busy in concocting a new fran chise for the old plant at a largely increased rate for twenty years to come When questioned in public meeting as to why they had not sold the bonds and built the plant they answered weakly that they couldnt sell the bonds and didnt think it the right time to build and said in gener al terms there were other reasons besides By inference they didnt think and do not think the right time will occur within the next 20 years as they attempted giving the right to own and operate the plant to the same old company regardless of the expressed will and decree of the people to own and operate it for themselves Yet these are the men Voters of McCook who ask you to return them to the positions they have abused that they may still further work their own pleasure in place of doing the commands of the sovereign people Voters of McCook Let your re buke be with no uncertain voice Let your votes be cast for Jas McAdams for mayor and Wm Middleton and H C Brown for councilmen These are the men who have led the present indignant uprising of the voters of McCook against the high handed proposals of the present coun cil and they may be trusted to do the will of the people as laid down by the people TWO YEARS AGO Two years ago the people feared the influence of the Water Company pyith the city council as it would con sist if the Republican candidates wer elected They forced from the candi dates Messrs Waite and McConnell a written and signed statement which was circulated by the candidates on the 3rd day of April 09 in which they denied the rumor that they pro posed to extend the franchise of the Water Co for 20 years or for any other period How does that agree witii their veiy recent effort to give the old Water Co a 20 year franchise Jn that statement they declared The Republican candidates are un alterably opposed as they have re peatedly said to the purchase of the old water plant by the city If un alterably opposed how can they now well serve the people in the possible purchase of the old plant at a fair valuation New measures demand new men They are on the shelf and discarded by the march of events New men are needed Their statement further said in black and white The city council is equally without power to extend the franchise of the present company at this time the franchise now in ex istence still having more than four years to run Yet we see them in less than two years coming to the front with a new 20 year franchise at a great increase in the price of water How is that for faithfulness Their card further said So far as the ouesticn of rates is concerned there is not now any proposition to increase them What No proposi tion to increase them Why At that very minute the Water Co was engaged in a tussle with the city in the courts in which they were contending for an increase in the rates in Avhieh conten tion the courts did net sustain them but sent them back to pump the water at the lCc rate They fail- ordered the construction of a muni 1 ed tc convince tbe district court or the cipal water plant It specified the j supreme court that they could not cost it provided tne runus it lert

monthi we find them at the front with a new franchise ready to hand it over to the same old Water Co raising the rate 25 on the people and extend ing the Water Cos franchise for 20 years Yet the
