Do not fail to hear Senator
Burkett at the court house
next Thursday evening at n
o'clock. _
Shall the people rule? Well,
not if the saloon keepers of Om
aha and the democratic legisla
tive ticket can prevent it.
Hogs $7.10 in Kansas City
Saturday, and lat cattle $7.60.
And still Mr. Bryan visits the
state fairs and tells the farmers
how they are being oppressed.
“When was it that Bryan ran
the first time?” asked one old
resident ot another. “The year
you sold your corn for ten cents”
replied the man with a good
memory.
If you want to read the editor
ials in the Tribune, you will
have to read the Tribune, for in
this as in many other features—
The Tribune is just different,
that’s all.
‘"it is the oppression that is
heaped upon the farmer that is
bringing him to town, "says the
disappearless leader. It is the
automobile that is bringing him
to town in these parts.
The democratic legislative
candidates refuse to say where
they stand on county option.
They exptct to get tne people
coming and going. They will
h - \ed out before election,
3(>a ev t-r.
\ u know what \ our products
are worth under a republican
administration, but do you Know
what they would have been
worth under tree silver, a demo
ciatic tariff and other ill con
sidered legislation.
Some time since the local
democratic organ asked where
the Tribune stood on county op
tion. Having answered, we
would now like to know where
the democratic legislative can
didates stand on the proposi
tion.
John Wiltse is an earnest,
able, hard working young man.
He always attends strictly to
his business affairs and is a
growing lawyer. He would
grove a sale and reliable county
attorney and one who would
protect the interest of the coun
ty at all times.
Why not let the people of the
enure county vote upon every
question which concerns them?
Ours is a government of the
people. Why not let every man
in the county vote on every
question which concerns the
tax payers ol the county? If the
will of the majority should con
trol. let us permit the majority
to express themselves. That’s
county option.
It is now estimated that the
corn crop oi Richardson county
will bring the farmers more
| money than any other crop ever
raised in the county. Incident
ally a farmer living in the east
end of the county was heard to
say that lie had a field of corn
■ which will bring him sin per
acre. This man has voted
twice for Bryan, but this year
! will vote against him.
—
“No question is ever settled
until it is settled right,” de
clared Bryan after free silver
was snowed under in lH'.iii. “We
will do nothing with the tariff,”
declaired t h e disappearless,
“until the curse of gold is de
stroyed. For if protection has
slain its thousands, the go.d
standard has slain its tens of
thousands.” Gee, what a long
tail our cat has. You who have
grown rich under a republican
tariff and were poor under a
democratic tariff, what do you
think of gush like the above?
"Bryan will reduce the price
of farm machinery,” says the
local democratic organ. Sure!
And hogs, cattle, corn and
wheat. Bryan was in congress
and helped frame the democrat
ic tariff'that made soup so cheap
that it was served free to hun
dreds of thousands of idle peo
ple. Soup went up when Mr.
McKinley was elected, so did
corn, and wheat, and cattle.and
hogs and they have been up ever
since. _
Bryan proposes to compel
every honest and conservative
banker to stand good for every
dishonest and grasping banker.
His plan is not sound, fair nor
honest. His plan would place
a discount upon honest banking
and a premium upon dishonest
and reckless banking. The re
publican party favors a volun
tary guarantee of deposits, but
is opposed to a law' which com
pel Is every good banker to stand
liable tor every bad banker.
That makes the banker of Falls
City liable for the failure of the
Wall Street banker of New York
city. _
It is a matter of congratula
tion that Gov. Hughes, of New
York, will make two speehes in
Nebraska, Gov. Hughes is one
of the greatest men America
ever produced. He speaks tne
Koosevelt language. The ad
dress made by him at Youngs
town, Ohio, so fairly and com
pletely showed the Bryan falla
cies in their true light that
every fair minded man was com
pelled to admit his conclusions.
A prominent democratic lawyer
told the writer the ottier day
that in his opinion the speech
was the greatest political docu.
inent in the past halt century,
and left Mr Bryan with noth
ing tostand on.
We have no criticism for the
man who votes for his own wel.
fare. We have little sympathy
with the man so blinded with
partisanship that he votes
against his own welfare. If
Nebraska goes for Bryan it will
be by the farmer’s vote. If the
Nebraska farmer is solicitous of
his welfare, he will not vote tor
a change. It has been twelve
years since the democrats ruled
the country, and by the same
token it has been twelve years
since the farmer sold bis corn
for twelve cents, his hogs for
three cents, his cattle for four
cents, his wheat for forty cents,
and kept his horses because he
could not sell them at all.
The democratic legislative
candidates were nominated in
Omaha. Dave Grush was beat
en in Omaha. Will one of the
democratic legislative candi
dates deny that he received let
ters from the retail liquor deal
ers association in Omaha, in
which he received assurances of
support if he would declare
| against county option? Will
anyone deny that Mr. Crush re
ceived such letters and that he
was defeated in this county be
cause he wuuld not be bulldozed
by Omaha saloon Keepers and
declare against county option?
What about the rule of the peo
ple when Omaha dictates nom
inations in this county? Every
man against county option is in
this tight. Where are you?
One man predicts the defeat
o f the republican legislative
ticket because he said, “county
option men always vote as par
tisans, while the other fellows
never do.’’ “When I saw all
the republican saloon keepers
in town calling for primary bal
lots that they might nominate
the precinct democratic legisla
tive ticket.’’ he continued, “I
thought of a saying of the late
Jay Gould. You know Gould
was the head of the Erie rail
road and he was asking favors
of the legislators in New Jersey
and New York.” “What is your
politics, Mr. Gould?” asked a
friend. “In New York,’’replied
Mr. Gould, “I’m a republican,
in New Jersey I’m a democrat,
but I’m an Erie man everywhere
and every time.” See the point?
Senator Burkett left Lincoln
the first of the week to fill some
speaking engagements of the
state committee. He expressed
himself as greatly pleased with
the forthcoming trip over the old
First district, which begins at
Table Rock on the 24th of Sep
tember and includes almost every
county in the district. He says
he proposes making it a visiting
trip as well as a speaking trip
and that he hopes to meet all his
friends in the different towns.
His earliest political friends were
in the first district and their c,
stant loyalty has always been
gratifying to him. He will prob
ably travel in his automobile, al
though that will depend upon the
condition of the roads, and visit
some towns where he is not even
scheduled for a speech. This
will probably be his only visit to
this section of the state this year,
as other parts of the state and
nation are making heavy de
mands on his time. The plans
are not yet entirely completed but
he will open at Table Rock on
the 23rd and on Thursday, Sept.
24, will speak at Humboldt at 2
p. m. at Salem at 5 p m. and at
Falls City at 8 p. m. Bear this
date in mind and hear the Sena
tor at the most convenient point.
FATHER AND HEIR
No man who has aspired to
the presidency of" the United
States has shown so much des
peration in his efforts to secure
his election, as Mr. Bryan.
He has already sought some
paramount issues which he
thought would win votes. Free
silver, imperialism, government
ownership of railroads, have all
proved themselves to have been
phantoms.
His last break was to claim
himself to be the father of toe
Roosevelt policies, and later to
be the heir. How one man can
be the father and heir of the
same thing, is too much for any
one to explain except the disap
pearless leader.
The recent statement of Pres
ident Roosevelt concerning this
matter is quite interesting read
ing at this time. The President
says: “For the last ten years,
while I have been governor of
New York and president, I have
been thrown into the closest
intimacy with him (Mr. Taft),
and he and I have on every es
sential point, stood shoulder to
shoulder. We have the same
views as ' to what is demanded
by the national interest and
honor, both within our own
borders and as regards the re
lations of this nation with oth
er nations. There is no fight
for decency and fair dealing
which I have waged, in which I
have not had his heartiest sup
port, and the policies for which
1 stand are his policies as
much as mine.”
DO YOU?
The democratic platform for
Richardson county declares as
follows; “We favor home rule."
Now, do you? The Tribune is
prepared to prove that the dem
ocratic legislative nominees
were nominated by the retail
liquor dealers association of
Omaha. Is that home rule?
We are prepared to prove that
Dave Grush, one the best men
in this county, was defeated for
the nomination because he had
too much manhood to let the
Omaha saloon keepers tell him
how to vote.
We are prepared to prove that
Richardson Co., democrats will
not have the privilege of voting
for Mr.Grush because the Omaha
crowd wouldn't let him be nom
inated and voted republicans at
the primaries to insure his de
feat.
Is this home rule?
