We are not a betting paper
but if Rob Cain don’t carry ev
ery precinct in the county we
will be surprised to say the least.
Farmers now get higher prices
for lands and tarm products,and
at the election November il
should not risk a change from
republican rule.
A vote for Bowers for super
visor is a vote lor an old resi
dent who has always been on
the square. Lou will be and
should be elected.
A lowering of laud prices $10
an acre would amount to S—110.
400,m each township One TaL
vote in the corn held on election
day might lose a precinct.
hverv republican farmer who
does not get his vote into the
ballot box on November il casts
hall .1 vote for Bryan and half
a vole againsi himself and his
home.
F -r Mors who do not vote for
T. • .c-.-mber 3 will help Bry
an. > h >c I ui "f plans and other
to e c- it c dm'!i res may mean
mn.CiioM in the value of lands
and farm products.
Farmers and tarm hands who
husk corn November 3, when
they should be voting for Taft,
will use poor business sense, if
Bryan is elected and the price
of corn >;oes down through
democratic experiments and
tariff for revenue only.
Do }CU know any squarer
young man than John Wiltse?
Can you tind any client of his
that is not supporting him? The
same attention and painstaking
care that he has given to his
personal business will be given
to the affairs of the county if
be is elected.
In reply to a question at Un
ion recently, Congressman Pol
lard said that while he would
not pledge himself a year in ad
vance for or against the election
of any candidate for the speak
ership of the House of Repre
sentatives, he would say, how
ever, that he was in perfect ac
cord with the sentiment of this
district on the Cannon matter
and if re-elected to Congress it
would be his purpose to carry
out the wishes of his constitu
ents upon tins ns upon all other
matter- that couu- before the
House. ____________
Clem Davis of Rulo is sure to
I be elected supervisor from his
district. Mr, Davis is an earn
est, hard working young man
|and is deserving of the
l support of every voter who
i wants the affairs of the county
administered honestly and care
fully. For years Mr. Davis has
been a worker in the republican
party whose services were al
ways at the command of his
I people. A vote for Davis is a
vote for good government and a
vote for a faithful, loyal young
m a n. _
Farmers should not 'forget
that under the last democratic
administration, after Bryan was
in congress and helped to pass
a democratic tariff bill, times
were hard and prices of land
and farm products were low and
that while Bryan lias abandon
ed free silver he has never
abandoned bis tariff doctrines
which brought disaster to the
country and reduced the vaiue
of lands and the price of farm
products.
Shellenbarger was asked pub
licly where he stood on county
option. 11»? was asked whether
he would sign a county option
bill if it passed. He declined
to answer, You may draw your
own conclusions as to whether a
man who is afraid to state where
lie is on a great public question
is worthy of your vote.
.lust watch the vote for Char
lie Nims tor supervisor in Hum
boldt. Uncle Charlie is one of
the best men in Richardson
County. His natural ability
and experience will make him
invaluable to the taxpayers. He
will probably receive an almost
unprecedented majority.
Nebraska farms and Nebraska
farm products are high priced
now under republican rule. Bry
an’s election would change this
condition, for there would be a
period of doubt and uncertainty
during which industry would
lag and food prices and land
prices go down.
Bole jack, Zook and Ward are
letting the people know just
where they stand and what they
will do il elected. Nobody
knows where their opponents
stand. God Almighty hates a
coward and in hating He has ilis
inning in Richardson County
this year.
COUNTY OPTION
So much has been said of
county option that is false and
misleading that many of our
voters are confused as to the
issue.
The democratic candidates
who are not brave enough to
tell the voters where they stand
on the question are never the
less trying to make political
capital by saying, “county op
tion means prohibition.” This
statement, false as it is, is be
ing urged in the hopes of elect
ing a democratic ticket by re
publican notes.
County option means the
right granted to farmers to vote
on questions of government.
County option means that
every man who pays taxes shall
have the right to vote on the
question as to how his tax mon
ey shall be expended.
Local option means that the
tax payers of the city only shall
vote.
We have had local option in
Falls City ever since it has been
a city and from its organization
until now Falls City has never
been a prohibition town. Local
option has not meant prohibi
tion.
County option is local option
enlarged, that is to say, it
means that the taxpayers of
the county shall be given the
right to vote as well as the tax
payers of the city.
In a single criminal case tried
in Falls City within the last
year the couftcosts paid by the
tax payers of the county
amounted to more than 81,400.
The tax payers of Falls City
paid 8l'.,7 of the costs of this
case and received 86,000 from
the saloons as license money.
In other words the tax payers
of Falls City received about 840
for every dollar in tax paid.
The farmer paid 81,-00 of the
tax and received nothing.
If the farmers pay the tax,
why should th'ey not be given
the ri*4!11 to vote on the ques
tion?
The republican legislative
ticket is in favor the of farmer
I being given the right to vote.
The democratic ticket is
against it.
If any fanner wants to pay
his taxes without voting on the
question the democrat ticket
offers him the chance.
If lie wants a voice in the ex
penditure of his money the re
publican ticket offers him the
chance.
COUNTY OPTION RALLY
Interesting Mass Meeting Address
ed by Local Speakers
A mass meeting was arranged
by the Ministerial Association
of this city for Sunday afternoon
to meet in the interest of coun
ty option. A good crowd at the
court house, hut through some
misunderstanding the room was
not heated so the faithful ones
repaired to the M. E. church.
Earl Lemon, owing to serious
illness in his family, was unable
to be present, which was a dis
appointment. as be was one of
the principal speakers, but very
interesting talks were given by
Mr. Beattie of Lincoln, and V.
G. Lyford and Sam Lichty of
this city, each one presenting
convincing arguments upon the
good to be derived from county
option.
In the evening, as prearrang
ed, the several ministers of the
city exchanged pulpits, where
again this great issue was taken
up. Much interest was mani
fested at each meeting, all feel
sure that a great deal of good
will be the result.
Presbyterian Church
The membership of the First
Presbyterian cburcb is most
urgently requested to be in at
tendance at the church next
Sabbath morning. The Sacra
ment of Holy Communion will
be administered, new members
received, and a special solo will
be sung by Miss Agnew,who has
charge of the music of our pub
lic worship. Any one desiring
to unite with the church either
by profession of faith or by
letter, is invited to confer with
any member of the session, or
with the pastor, Dr. Bailey,
direct.
The sole r< quirement for ad
mission to the Presbyterian
church is an honest confession
of Jesus Christ as Lord and
Master. We require assent to
no creed and impose no obliga
tion. putting each member ‘-on
honor’’before his conscience and
his Lord. The session and pas
tor stand ready, and will be
more than glad to examine any
one as to his faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, with a view to
membership in the church. Those
having letters from other
churches are cordially invited
to present them and share our
fellowship.
Bryan to be in Hiawatha
The ’’peerless” will speak in
Hiawatha in the court house
yard, at 3:30 November 2nd and
now the people over there are
sore because they spent their
money to come to Falls City to
hear Bryan when they will now
have the opportunity without
cost or loss of time.
Women Interrupis Political Speaker
A well dressed woman interrupted
a political speaking recently by con
tinually coughing. If she had taken
Foley's Honey and Tar it would of
cured her cough quickly and expelled
the cold from her system. The genu
ine Foley’s Honey and Tar contains no
opiates and is in a yellow package.

SHELDON'S APPEARANCE
C. F. Reavis and A. J. Reaver Cave
Interesting Talks to Large
Crowd
Gov. Sheldon, who was ad
vertised to speak at the court
house in this city Thursday j
night, was prevented froru filing'
his engagement from the tact
that his train was several hours
late. The news soon spread, i
and while in a way it was a dls-j
appointment to many, as they
were anxious to see and hear
our great governor, still the
court house was tilled by inter
ested ones desirous of bearing
and learning more ot the im
portant issues before our people
today, and after listening; to the
splendid talks of our own A. J.
Weaver and 0. P. Reavis, and
the arguments put forth by
them, all felt repaid lor braving
the stormy weather and attend
ing tlie meeting. Mr. Weaver
was the lirst speaker, and in tfis
opening remarks said that while
he had twice supported Mr.
Bryan, in the face of the pres- ]
ent conditions, he could do so no
longer, and hereafter you will
find him on the side of republi
canism and all the name im
plies. Mr. Weaver gave a hur
ried review of what had been
accomplished under republican
rule, both in state and national
affairs. He closed his remarks
by paying a fitting tribute to
our retiring president and ad
monished all who desired a con
tinuation of the present pros
perity, to cast their vote on
November 3, for Wm. H. Taft.
C. F. Keavis was then called
to the platform and for about
forty minutes held his hearers
in wrapt attention. He gave
his time to a comparison of the
tariff question from both the
democratic and republican stand
point, and left this thought with
his audience; “If you want to
buy cheap vote for W. J. Bryan,
but if you want good prices for
what you sell vote for Wm. H.
Taft.’’
After his comparison of the
prices ot larm products in 1896
and the present time, it seems
like almost an insult to the in
telligence of our American peo
ple that any speaker should
warn our people against chang
ing the present conditions.
C. F. Reavis asked some very
pointed and important questions
which he desired the democrats
in his audience to answer, but
no one seemed prepared, and
after a fitting eulogy to Gov
ernor Sheldon, wherein he re
viewed the splendid record he
had made as governor of the
state, and asked the voters to
keep him there, then clos
ed one of our best political
meetings.
MITCHELL MAKES DENIAL
Miners’ Leader Says He Has Sent

I John Mitchell, for years president ol
the United Mine Workers, gave out a
Statement at Indianapolis iu which b«
■aid be had sent out no posters, wltk

presidential candidates,
i "1 Sm sure that I shall not be charged
firtth partisanship,” ha says, “when 1
adVlse each citizen to examine carefully
the principles and policies of the candi
dates; to consider seriously the effect
of the election upon the nation as i
'whole and upon that division of society
in particular to which he belongs; and
having done this, it is his duty to cas!
his ballot In accordance with his bes!
Judgment and with the dictates of hti

Polite Chinese Children.
While very young the little Chinese
la taught “manners,” how to come
into a room, to bow very low to par
ents or those older than himself—
even till his head nearly touches the
floor—and to “chin-chin.” This is
their polite greeting, which takes the
form of our hand shaking.

Before the New York Stuto conven

■aid :
"We have a record which forbids dis
couragement or doubt in the perform

administrations now drawing to a close,
both In the Stute nnd In the nation,
and witli confidence ask every Ameri

not met all the great fundamental
Requisites of good government, whethei
they do not justify the belief that it 1*
^best for the country to keep in powet
the party which is responsible for them
and is entitled to the credit for them.
Have not these administrations within
the state and within the nation been
! honest? Have they not been capablel
{Have they not been efficient? Have
fthey not set before all the people of
America examples of pure, high-mind
