If you have an ear for poetry,
how would a verse ending with
Haskell and Haskell sound?
Don’t worry about Nebraska,
the last two weeks makes it ab
solutely certain that Taft will
carry the state.
——————————
Mr. Bryan got more than he
was looking for when he butted
up against Teddy Roosevelt,
lie linds the presidents pen to
be a “big stick. ’’
.1 aclc Windie says lie is ifr.iicl
Hearst will accuse him with
business reJalioi s with the
Standard oil next.
The enforced guarantee of
bank deposits is b ing shown
up in its true light. It is like
the other Bryan issues in that
it sounds good but will not bear
investigation.
No cleaner men have ever
been a minuted iur tne county
offices than t'uin, Ward, Zook,
b 'I . and Wiit.se and every
one ot them i . entitled to the
t u i .e ol 11 i i p.i r' V.
■ rank Lieu vis u „ the issue as
follows: ‘ 1 In-voters will chouse
between the party mat will give
deposits without a guarantee
and the party that will give a
guarantee without deposits.”
A prominent eastern demo
irrat announced his opposition
to Bryan last week, “Not be
cause I fear Bryan so much as I
do his associates,” he said.
Haskell, Dahlinan, Sullivan,
durphy, Connons, and men ot
ike character for instance.
John Wiltse is making a
plendid canvass. His record
■ s a lawyer is clean and able.
-lis industry and faithfulness
\o nis profession is universally
’•ecognized. Under his super
ision as county attorney the
nterest of the county will be
ully protected and the critn
nai business will be adminis
tered without fear or favor.
Zook, Bole jack, Ward and
Cain forms one of the best leg
islative tickets this county has
ever nominated. Each is a good
business man, each is honest
and courageous, they under
stand the needs of the people
i
j and have the ability to further
‘ the interest of Richardson coun
ty. This ticket stands squarely
lor the spirit of the times as ex
emplified by the administrations
of President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Sheldon. These men
favor home rule in fact .•js well
as in theory. The consent of
no Omaha brewer was asked
that they mignt aspire to rep
re-amt the people of this county.
If elected they will represent
the citizens of this county and
not the retail liquor dealer’s as
sociation of Omaha.
•fudge Taft was told that
he could have Ohio without a
struggle if he would cotnpro
tnise with Foraker. lie replied
that his differences with For
aker were not personal but that
•they involved the question of
right and wrong, ‘’and,” he ad
ded, “I will not sacrifice a prin
ciple lor any office.” Bryan re
pudiated Sullivan and others in
1904 when he was not a candi
date and made his peace with
them in 1908 when he is a can
didate. As a result the expos
ures of Haskell and his crowd
Will probably make his defeat
even greater than it was in 190o
while Taft’s character shows to
such advantage by the contrast
that President Roosevelt pre
diets for him the greatest major
it}'ever given in the nation's
history.
George Watkins is too good a
democrat to give The Tribune
the privilege of publishing his
letters very often, but on anoth
er page of this issue, you will
find one ot his characteristic!
utterances which indicates]
clearly that he considers county j
option an o-<ut* and that lie
doesn’t intend to permit the re
tail liquor dealers’ association
to cast his vote.
Since the inauguration of
Governor Sheldon in Jan., 1907
the state debt has been reduced
from $1,917,000 to $586,986.
The payment of one and one
half millions ot the state indebt
edness in less than two years
speaks well for the republican
state officials.
It is time for Richardson!
count', to take a forward step
in tli world and help in tile
eiectum «»! the next. president.
[Is ri\ ■ ■! for voting with Ar
liiinsa- M "Sonri .ml I’e.xas i»
no credit to its people. Wake
up and vote the republican
ticket straight,
Mr. Bryan asked President
Roosevelt for proof and he got
it in abundance. But how will
Bryan explain to the American
people, Haskell’s appointment
as treasurer of the Democratic
National committee after the
proof of Haskell’s record had
been furnished him. Let him
answer.
Can it be that those who op
pose county option are afraid to
trust tile farmers on that ques
tion? It they are willing to
trust them and permit them to
have a voice in the matter, then
they should withdraw their
opposition and declare them
selves in favor of county option.
In selecting your candidates
for the legislature and for
county attorney, compare the
men and their records on the
questions in which you are in
terested. It is only in this way
that you can cast your vote in
telligently.
No young man in the county
has a cleaner record or a cleaner
character than John Wiltse.
As county attorney he will
carefully attend to the duties of
his office and will prove a credit
to the office.
Mr. Cain is one of the bright
est men in the county. As state
senator, he will be a credit to
his constituents._
Reports that come in from the
various counties of the First
Congressional district point to
the re-election of Congressman
Pollard by the largest majority
he has jet received. Especial
ly in the agricultural sections
of the district is the sentiment
strong for him. The farmers
appreciate the importance to
them of a representative who,
himself a farmer, knows what
they need and is able to get it
for them.
County option will not be an
issue says the local democratic
organ. Issues, however, are
made by conditions and not by
newspapers. Hundreds of dem
ocrats who intend to vote the
republican legislative ticket are
doing so because county option
is an issue. The republican
saloon keepers who voted the
democratic primary ticket, did
so because they thought county
option was an issue. The tons
of literature being sent to the
yoters of this county by the
brewers of Otuaha, Kansas City,
and St. Louis shows what tnese
interests thin k of couuty
option being an issue. The lo
cal democratic organ means that
it doesn’t want county option
to be an issue, only this and
nothing more.
COUNTY OPTION
A Few Questions Asked by
William Thompson
Falls City, Neb., Sept. 27, 1908
To the Hon. Henry (denies: —
Are the whiskey sellers anarchists?
Would they, with determination,
break and defy the laws of their
country, even a law sanctioned by
the popular vote of the people?
Nay ; had we not better stop and
ask, could they or any other ele
ment do this? It' so, is it not time
to stop and consider where we are
at? If. as asserted, the farmers
are so in favor of the saloon, they
I would boycott any town which
! had no saloons, why not give
' the farmers a chance to vote for
j the saloons? If the whiskey seller
could and wouldsell more whiskey
J after or with the saloons closed
| than with them open why is not
the whiskey seller in favor of
closing the saloons? lie could
then take tiis license money and
but ati automobile. And if it is u
fact that the whiskey drinker
could get his drinks just as easily
and could get just as much of it,
why is he not for the closing ot
saloon? With no licenses to ne
paid he ought to be atilc to bus
his drinks cheaper.
Now, Mr. Heroes, shall tin peo
ple rule, or if elected would you
act as if it were not safe to let the
' people d*ride for or against? We
call on you and the other candi
dates to let the voters of this
county know how those who pro
pose to serve us stand on this
proposition, as well as on all
others that will probably come
up in the next legislature.

Weak
Heart Action
There are certain nerves
that control the action
of the heart. When they
become weak, the heart
action is impaired. Short
breath, pain around heart,
choking sensation, palpi
tation, buttering, feeble
or rapid pulse, and other
distressing symptoms fol
low. Dr. Miles Heart Cure
is a medicine especially
adapted to the needs of
these nerves and the mus
cular structure of the
heart itself. It is a
strengthening tonic that
brings speedy relief.
Try it.
"For years I suffered with what I
thought was stomach trouble, when
the doctors told me I had heart
trouble. 1 had tried many remedies,
when the Or. Miles' almanac came
into my hands, and 1 concluded to
try Or. Miles' Heart Cure. I have
taken three bottles, ami now I am
not suffering at all. 1 am cured and
this medicine did it. I write this in
the hope that it will attract the at
tention of others who suffer as I did."

Cure, and we authorize him to return
price of first bottle (only) If it fails

A Coming Artist
It is not generally known that
Falls City has among her rising
generation a little artist of more
than ordinary ability, but such is
the case It is Albert Crouse,and
while he is but eleven years of
age, his drawings are attracting
much attention. In last Sunday’s
St. Joe News-Press appeared one
of his pictures, which was far
ahead of any other in that issue.
Albert has a natural talent, which
if properly cultivated will surely
bring h m fame.
Sells at $200 An Acre
Col. M. W. Harding has sold
his farm of 5(5 acres adjoining
Humboldt on the north to Grant
Parsons for $200 per acre or
$11,200. We believe this is the
record price for farm land in the
state and it is an indisputable
fact that Richardson county is
entitled to hold this record. It’s
the best county in the state,—•
Humboldt Standard.
