Announcement. 1 w isli ‘o announce my candidacy for *he legislature subject to the re publhan primary. DON GK1DLKY. DR C. E. BESSEY. ‘ Do i favor local option ? Of course 1 do Do you suppose I could take any other position on ti matter of this kind? I have always been op posed to the liquor business and have nil my life favored taking such steps M would more and more repress it. In general the people can he trusted to vote for the better thingsfor the community. 1’hls is especially true iu communities where the people own their houses and have permanent homes. The great home building com uiunltles generally vote sanely and sooner or later may bo counted upon to vote out all corrupting and demor alizing agencies. So I am in favor of county local option and being a republican I most certainly expect that party to declare openly and ein phnt'cally in favor of the enactment of such a law by the next legislature. 1 hop- the democrats will do the Bane . If they are so blind as to favo- the liquor interests they will commit the same mistake that they did in the middle of the last century when they came out in favor of slavery. Tlint was an egregious blun der on the part of the democrats of that time and It was what swept them into political obscurity for a genera tion. If they now become the party of the liquor interests they will go down to another period of ignominy and deserved political oblivion. Mr. Bryan is far-sighted enough to see the fate of a party tied to such a millstone as that, but It now looks rs though the tragedy of the ’50’s would be re-enacted and that he would be for the present what Doug las was for that time. It is scarce ly conceivable that the party of Gar rison and Wendell Phillips and Fro nton'. and Lincoln— the party that dar*‘1 to oppose slavery and won a glorious victory- will now finch in the presence of that twin monster— that other form of slavery—the liquor traffic. It took much courage to oppose negro slavery and it will take courage to oppose the white slavery that Is blighting not our Bectlon of the country only, but all portions. Let the sons of the men of the ‘fill's and '60's be worthy of their fathers who dared. The republican party to day must be the anti-liquor party as half a century ago it was the anti slavery party."—State Capital . A. E. CADY'S VIEWS. Lincoln Daily Star. A. K. Catiy has outlined his politi cal views as follows: in announcing my candidacy for governor. I wish to make a brief statement of my attitude relative to matters of most public concern. While it Is inevitable that new ques tions of pressing importance will aris from year to year, the issue of clean and prudent government, I deem al ways to be paramount. Simply be cause I was the zealous advocate of an Issue of passing importance, would not entitle me to public confidence. It is not alone what I stand for to day, but what hasbeeu my attitude in the past that should be the real measure of my value as a public ser vant. Within the sphere of my limited influence, I have always eon tended for clean men and clean meth ods, and I firmly believe that what ever beside may be essential that unless built on this foundation, an enduring republic is hopeless. I have been a resident of Nebraska nearly thirty-four years, part of that time engaged in newspaper work, and the remainder in commercial pur suits. My office holding record is confined to two terms in the legisla ture, (in the he lse in 1889, and the senate in 19.5). in the session of 1889 I was fortunate in being per mitted to aid in accomplishing the defeat and downfall of the best organ ized and most corrupt lobby with which the state was over infested. I also prepared legislation that pre vented eiploitaiion of the state sa line hrTTrt« I prepared and Introduced the bJU providing for the submission j of an amendment to the constitution creating an elective railway coin-, mission, which passed in the session of 1905. The adoption of this amend ment, together witli the legislation en-( acted to give it effect, have worked I a b M'eflelal reform felt In every do-i partment of our state government. Ij advocated and voted for an anti-pass' bill in the same session. Though 1 j was not a member when passed, I advocated the primary law, believing tiler and now ilmt it is desirable, not alone to bring the government near to the people, tint what Is of greater Importance, to awaken in the indi vidual voter a keener sense of the responsibilities of citizenship. While the law may out have realized in full me anticipations of its mo|t zealous udvoeates, yet 1 confid- ntly believe that it is dostined to lie a power of strength to good government. I have always affiliated with the republican party, whose candidate I, now aspire to be, nut I firmly believe that the highest partisan service is rendered by an honest effort to demonstrate that the party with which one affiliates Is the best me dium through which to attain good government. I do not believe in j making the public institutions hav ens for indigent politicians, or aux-j Unites of a political machine. but) that they should be conducted on i strictly prudent business lines, al ways with a view io the w lfare oi | the Inmates. Personally, I have never bellevt il | the adoption of county option neoes-i sary to ■ cntrol the liquor traffic. The enactment of this law, however,j is purely a legislative function, with ( which the executive lias nothing to do, until preserved to him for his ap proval or disapproval. If the people | thought their representatives, <!<■-j mamled this legislation I I should | deem It tnv duty, if governor, to ap ' prove. 1 do not roi.strue the pow-j er to veto ve’sted in the chief exeeu-1 tive to bo a presonal asset, but a] discretionary power necessary to vest in some one, to meet the regulre meats of grave emergencies, and pos sible invasions of the constitution. To threaten in advance of its enactment the veto ot this legislation, might consistently lii supplemented by the threat to invoke the pardoning power in behalf of every violator of the law. | should th« veto be disregarded. 1 believe that President Taft is in full sympathy with the policies of Mr. lloosevf it, and that his adminis tration will merit and receive gen eral commendation. There has been no wiser legislation in recent years than that c reating a tariff com mission, gi ing assurance that fu-' ture legislation will be based on a more impartial, scientific and less sectional and partisan basis. With tliits purely personal state ment, I sip-init my candidacy. Should the people see fit to nominate and elect tne governor. I will devote to their Bervh o whatever of experience and ability I may possess, animated by the sin ere desire to administer ibeir uffaii in a dignified, economi cal and business like manner. A. E. CADY. St, Paul, Nebraska. NEBRASKA, Some Facts All Nebraskans Ought to Scatter Broadcast. Here are some concrete facts about Nebraska that should be made known to all men: Tin extreme length of Nebraska, east and west, is 415 miles; the ex treme breadth, north and south is 205 miles. The gross area of Nebraska in sq. miles is 77,510 The gross acreage is 49,606,400. The cultivated acreage in 1909 was approximately 16,000,000 arms. or less than one-third the total area of the state. On this 16.000000 acres there was produced in 1909 the following crops: Con, 169,179,137 bushels; market value $98,123,871. Wheat, 50,313,600 bushels; market value $45,642,234. Oats. 59.653,479 bushels; market a al ue $23,861,389. Parley. 2.830.632 bushels, market | value $1,269,277. " live, 1.227,332 bushels; market valu $786,899, Alfalfa, 1,971,770 tons; market val ue $17,745,930. Tame hay, 2,647,839 tons; market value $21,182,712. Potatoes, 7,386,49? bushels; market value $5,909,202. No account is made of miscellane ous crops, such at spelt/., millet, sor ghum, cane, sugar beets, kaffir corn, onions, general garden truck, etc., which would add many millions more to the total productions. hiss than one-half of the acreage that may profitably be cultivated in Nebraska is being cultivated at the present time. From tbo pasture lands and tlie grain feed raised in Nebraska was produced $35,000,000 pounds of butter, $18,000,000 worth of eggs, and over $40,000,000 worth of poultry. The total products of Nebraska in 1909—agricultural, live stock, dairy ing, manufacturing, etc., exceeds $040 000,000 -an average of approximate ly $000 for each man, woman and child. No other state in the t'nion mad" such a showing. Dairy farming in Nebraska is in its infancy, yet Nebraska is today one of the leading producers of daily products, and is forging ahead by leaps and bounds. The inducements nfferi <1 to dairy farmers by Nebras ka are beyond computation. Taking into consideration fertility of soil, healthfulness of climate, ac cess to market and surrounding creat ure comforts and advantages, land in N’i braska, improved and unimprov ed, is to bo had more cheaply and on better terms than anywhere else in the republic. Fifteen million acres of fertile land awaits the activity of husbandmen. Nebraska with a population of less than a million and a half produces more than is pro duced and purchased by Japan, a nation of 35,000,000 people. Nebraska offers greater induce ments to liotneseekers than any other state in the Union—greater than any otherr similar area in the whole wide world. Mark this copy of your paper and send it to some one in theeast who may be looking about for anew loca tion. Let us all work to?, -ther forr tile building up and development o* Nebraska! CHAUTAUQUA NEAR. The Programs For This Year Are Out And Will Be A Good One. The programs for this year's ( bau tauqna are out. We took the time to inquire into the merit of this coming event, ami are glad to say that, in our humble opinion, our peo ple can be congratulated because of the high standard the management has striven to attain. The array of talent is certainly pleasing. Our people man confident ly look forth to the week of rich things. The time chosen for this event seems to be also timely. The farmer can now arrange liis work and enjoy this week to a good advantage. it was a happy thought when Hishop Vincent conceived this idea, to give the people this institution. It lias changed much from the original plans of the bishop; yet everything good in this world is subject to growtli or development. So, also the Chautauqua lias reached into new fields of usefulness. The Chautauqua lias become the forum of thought, some of the brain est men of our day have spoken from their platforms. To us this is one of the most pleasing features; to see and hear the leaders of thought and other accomplishments from all over our grand country. We hope our people will take in terest in the splendid bill of fare of fered them this year by the Chautau qua association. TOBEY FOR CONGRESS 1 stand for the declaration of the last na tional republican platform and the pledge of President Taft, that the tariff should be re vised downward. I believe that pledge should be kept and that there should especially be a revision downward on trust-controlled articles and on those things which are so rapidly increasing the cost of living. I am for a permanent Tariff Commission with real powers to Investigate schedules and abate abuses pending congressional action. I am for giving the interstate commerce commission adequate powers to regulate and control all common ^carriers. 1 am against Cannon and Cannonism. 1 am for county option in Nebraska and for some measure In Congress that will pre vent the issuance of federal licenses or tax stamps iu dry territory. [ have had eight years experience in Washington, am familiar with the work of all the departments, and will be able from the first to look after the needs of my district, whether it be for the farmers, the town men, or the old soldiers. I am a candidate for the republican nomination for congress in the First District, if you approve of the above declarations 1 would like to have vour support and l would like to hear from you, GEO.

City Chautauqua August 6 to 14 BOOST HAYWARD ENDORSE HIM FOR CONGRESS i • J" Cass, Otoo and Richardson Counties Declare For Him, Of the seven counties comprising the First congressional district of Ne> braska, four had held their county conventions up to July 18th, three ol which unanimously passed resolutions commending the candidacy of William Hayward for the republican nomina tion for Congress in the district and recommending him to receive the sup port of the republican electors of the several counties at the primaries of August 18th next. The fourth county, Lancaster, held its convention on July 14, und uuder a motion adopted providing that no candidate for any office be recommended by the conven tion, no endorsement of any candi date, county, state or national, was made. The county conventions offering to their citizens enthusiastic endorse ments of Mr. Hayward's candidacy were those of Cass, Richardson and Otoe, the home county of Mr. Hay ward. The remaining counties of the district hold their conventions on July 23d. The Cass county republican conven tion, held at Union on July 14th, gave Mr. Hayward's candidacy for Congress the following splendid endorsement: Cass County Speaks. "Whereas, The republican party of this county, because of the ability displayed while chairman of our state committee and as secretary of the national committee and his active and accurate discharge of duties while in public office, we recognize the merits of the Honorable William Hayward and commend to the party at the pri maries his candidacy for Congress from tliis First congressional district of the state.” The republicans of Richardson coun ty met in county convention in Falls City on July 14th and commended the candidacy of Mr. Hayward to the re publican electors of the district ia the following resolution unanimously adopted: Richardson County Resolutions. “Be it resolved by the republicans of Richardson county in convention assembled that we recognize in Hon. William Hayward, one of the foremost republicans in this state and hereby endorse him for congress and recom mend him to the voters of this county at the primary election to be held August 16th, 1910.” Prom the Otoe county republican convention held at Syracuse on July 18th, came the following resolution fa voring Mr. Hayward for congress, en thusiastically adopted by a unanimous vote. Mr. Hayward's friends and neighbors in Otoe county, who have known him from childhood left noth ing unsaid in expressing their enthu iastkj commendation of Mr. Hayward’s candidacy as set out in the follow ing resolution: Otoe County for Hayward. "We hereby unqualifiedly recom mend to the republican electors ot the First district of Nebraska the can didacy of Hon. Wm. Hayward for con gress in this district. As neighbor, lawyer, public officer and party asso ciate we have known him from youtn to a vigorous and aggressive young manhood and bring to our republican associates of the First district the guarantee of his high character, un swerving devotion to the progressive policies inaugurated by Theodore Roosevelt and confirmed by William H. Taft, and a fearless stand for all that is best in the political and busi ness life of this district In which he has passed all the years of his lire. “In the nomination and election of William Hayward as the represents tive in congress from the First dis trict of Nebraska we will again see the replacement of the district in the national legislature In a position In ac cord with its standing for intelligence, prosperity and progress in national affairs and guarantee that with the assistance of the sister counties of this district is the achievement of this desirable end the First Nebraska dis trict will again be 'on the map' of congress.” While three of the republican coun ty conventions in the district remain yet to be held, it is evident from the foregoing that the candidacy of Hay ward for the republican nomination for congTess is sweeping the district and his known host of friends in the counties of Pawnee, Johnson and Ne maha render it highly probable that complimentary notice of his candidacy will not be lacking In these progres sive republican counties.
