Thf paramount issues of this
campaign are, shall the work and
accoinplislifnents of Theodore
Roosevelt be indorsed or re
pudiated.
The proudest boast of our
citizenship should be lam an
American; the next should be 1
am a member of the party that
lias written America's history
for the past titty years,
‘The First Battle", contain
ing Bryan's speeches in I89t>
should be read by every one
who appreciates pure humor.
As a laugh producer, Mark
Twain has never produced any
thing in its class.
One of the editors ot the Lin
coin Journal explains the at
titude of the paper by saying
the democrats threatened to
put itr a democratic daily ii the
Journal “wasn’t good." Why
not the republicans put in a
republican daily.
A certain German farmer who
formerly voted me democratic
ticket, was ret ently risked if he in
tended to vote for a change this
fall. The old gentleman studied a
minute and then replied: "Ach,
no, mine friend, times are good
enough for me. 1 never made so
much money before. I wants uo
change.” The German’s head was
level, and he is not the only demo
crat who will vote to have the po
licies of President Roosevelt con
tinued. _
The high endorsement given
Mr. Taft for the presidency by
Mr. Cleveland in his great ar
ticle written just before his death
shows the courage and candor
of the author. It is a stinging
rebuke to Bryan and no doubt
will make many votes for Taft
and cause much consternation
among his opponents. The ex
president in the course of his ar
ticle dropped the assurance that
’‘the lie pub ican party is cer
tain, though with a considerably
lessened strength, to move on to
a safe victory.”
There is one very essential
difference between Mr. Taft's
opinions ami those ot Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Taft has never been proven
wrong on any great question,
and he has the courage to stand
>ip for his opinion even in the
face of false representation. Mr.
Bryan tia> been proven wrong on
the Free Silver question, on
Pree Trade, <m Expansion and
Government ownership of rail
roads. If he was right when he
advocated those questions, lie
should still stand for them, if
he was wrong, how can his fol
lowers, in the face of such an
admission, hope to impose on
the public by asking their sup
port lor Bryan?
President Roosevelt is deeply
interested in the continuation of
those policies for which he has
given almost eight years of his
life. Of all the men in America
the one he has most trusted and
the one he wants to take up the
work he will soon lay down is
William Howard Taft. These
two men are political and per
sonal associates. For years
they have labored together in
the work that makes the pres
ent administration truly great.
No man knows Taft better than
Roosevelt; no man understands
Roosevelt and his work better
than Taft. Under these circum
stances is it any wonder that
not only republicans, but the
great body of independent
voters as well, are behind Judge
Taft in this campaign.
“We will bet ten dollars,”
says the “spinort” at the head
of the alley, “that we can name
more nu n who voted for Roose
velt four years ago who are now
lor Hryan than The Tribune
can name men who voted for
Hryan H years ago and who are
now lor Taft.” Now, of course,
we wouldn’t for the world char
acterize tliis offer as unfair, but
why put the test on the one side
four years ugu and on the other j
eight years ago/ Everybody
voted for Roosevelt four years
ago, including the man with
the ten. Bryan’s treachery to
his part\ candidate gave Roose
velt more than eighty thousand
majority in Nebraska. Why
not make the proposition this:
That you can name more men
opposed to Bryan eight years
ago who are now for him than
we can name who were for him
eight years ago who are now
against him. This would give
you a much better chance than
you would have were we to lose
it on the vote of 1896, for you
remember McKinley received
more than 800,000 majority over
Bryan in 1900.
There is a farmer living with
in this county who purchased a
100 acre farm tifteen years ago
for$-1,420. Within the last month
he sold this same 10c> acres of
land lor $12,000. What does that
say for Republican times? This
man has made a good living for
his family upon this land and
has educated liis children. Be.
sides .til this he has a net profit
of §500 per year in the rise in
value of his land for each yeur
he haslived upon it. Or in other
words the land has risen §5 per
acre in value every year since
he has owned it. This man will
vote for William H. Taft.
In tnlking of “state pride” too
many men have forgotten what
that means. It was state pride
which led South Carolina under
the teachings of John C. Calhoun,
to try to secede from the Union
when Andrew Jackson was presi
dent. It was that same talk which
made that state the first to secede
in 1800 and bring on the dreadful
Civil War. The supremacy of the
federal government should he con
ceded by every man. When men
come to you and appeal to you to
put state above country, remind
him that the interests of the na
tion come tirst and those of the
state afterward.
The campaign will soon open
in earnest. The all-absorbing
question will be: Shall Roose
velt’s policies be endorsed or
shall they be turned down. Taft
and Sherman have endorsed
them and have pledged them
selves for their continuation if
elected. President Roosevelt
has endorsed them as his suc
cessors Whom, Mr. Voter, will
you select?
A few days ago, a farmer who
had voted for Bryan in 1896 and
again in 1900, was heard to say:
‘*1 voted for Bryan in 1896 and
in 1900, but I shall vote for Taft.
I have bought a tarm and want
to pay for it. 1 shall not vote
for any change. ”
The crop of tame hay was unus
ually heavy in this state this year;
wheat is yielding heavier than was
expected; and now the recent rains
are bringing out the corn crop in
a marvelous fashion. 1908 will be
another big year for Nebraska.
A marvelous change has taken
place in the corn crop of the
country since the drouth was
broken. When Richardson
county fails to produce a good
crop, there is little use of look
ing elsewhere for it.
We now knowT which of the
candidates for nomination have
reached the first base. Now for
the home run.
Governor Fort of New Jersey
is holding the tort. His threat
to uphold the law was no idle
threat.
NO MORE FOURTH OF JULY
We should like to call the at
trillion of our readers to the fol
lowing prediction which was made,
by Mr. Bryan in Lincoln, Neb., in |
July, 1900, in a speech made to
The Home Guards:
“The fight this yeai will be to |
carry out the sentiment of that
song we have so often repeated |
‘My Country ’tin ot Thee.’ If we I
lose ( referring to his election over |
Mi . McKinley) our children, and j
our children’s children will not I
succeed to the spirit of that song,
and celebrations of the Fourth of j
July will pass away; for the spirit
of empire will be upon us.’’ How j
does that sound to the enlightened j
man of 1908? That is only one of
ihi many hail raising predictions
made by the democratic prophet
in recent years.
THE RACE IS ON
BUT LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN
AT THE PRIMARIES
Less Than Fourteen Hundred Votes
Were Cast in Richardson Co.
Tuesday
At the time of going to press,
but little can be told regarding
state officers where the contest
was strong as in that for audi
tor, state superintendent, com
missioner of public lands and
buildings and railroad commis
sioner.
In this county the vote was
less than 1,400 and at this time
we are only able to get returns
from la out of 22 precincts.
(lov. Sheldon heads the list of
state officers with 407 votes as
against 300 for Hopwell, lieu
tenant governor and Junkin,
secretary of state, while Car
rington for superintendent of
public instruction, received 131
votes.
J. li. Cain, jr., received 373
votes for state senator, while
the candidates for representa
tives showed the following
strength: Bolejack, 303; Zook,
295; Ward, 230; Bahr, 169; Wil
liamson, 124. John Wiltse re
ceived 462 votes in the fifteen
precincts heard from for county
attorney.
While this is very limited in
formation, it is all that can be
obtained until after the official
count which began today.
It would appear from this
showing however, that the peo
ple propose to force the issue
of county option and the repub
lican party is selecting such rep
resentatives as are known to
stand squarely for the law.
NICE LINE OF HATS
Miss Brebeck Prepared to Please
All in The Millinery Line
Miss Helen Brebeck has on
display at her millinery store a
tine display ot fall and winter
hats. Last spring she had de
cided not to stay in business any
longer, but her many customers
persuaded her to remain at her
old stand at least during this
season. She has been identified
with our business people for
several years and has made
many warm friends who are
more than pleased to know she
has decided to remain with us.
Miss Brebeck is one of the best
trimmers in this part of the
state and when in St. Louis re
ceived an idea of the very latest
styles in milliner}'. This with
her many original ideas makes
her capable of pleasing every
one.
Meeting of Candidates Called
In compliance with the pro
visions of the primary law, a
meeting of the nominees for the
various county offices upon the
republican ticket is called to
meet at the office of the county
chairman, on Saturday, Sept. 5,
at 2 o'clock p. m. At said
meeting it shall be the duty of
the various nominees to select
one committeeman for each vot
ing precinct within the county.
All nominees are urgently re
quested to be present and any
and all persons who are inter
ested in the success of republi
can principles, are also invited.

A Close Scrutiny—
by a good dentist will show treacherous
cavities and defects in your teeth that
will result in their loss unless you have
them attended to in time. "An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure” is
as true in regard to your teeth as to your
health or eyesight. Have your teeth ex
amined and kept in good condition by a
good dentist, and you will preserve them
through life.
