William F Hayward the nominee
for state senator from this the Four
teenth Senatorial District was the un
animous choice of the populists and
democrats for that office and is a man
who is efficient and well qualified for
the position He has held the office of
county treasurer of Dawes county and
cave entire satisfaction He is a man
therefore that can be relied upon for
good and careful work for the interests
of this part of Nebraska
W S Shoemaker spoke but a few
minutes ond scored C H Dietrich re
publican nominee for governor whom
he charged with cowardice for dodging
the Boer meetings held in Omaha al
though as a German he had professed
to be in sympathy with the struggling
South Africans He said that Dietrich
had been notified by telegraph of his
appointment as one ot the vice-presidents
of the meeting and that he came
to Omaha on the evening of the meet
ing but put in his time at a republican
meeting and after returning home ad
vised the committee several days later
in a letter of a line and a half that
owing to being away from home he
did not get the invitation in time
The speaker declared that Dietrichs
action in this matter would do more to
settle his status with the German vo
ters of the state than would his protes
tations of an inherent predilection for
beer and sauerkraut He said he pro
posed to take the matter up with Mr
Dietrich just as he had on a former
occasion with one certain Chaplain
Mailley and he would brand him if he
refused to answer and explain World

ticket this fall as they recognize that
f the hght is between the people and the
railroads The republicans have shown
their friendliness for the railroads and
corporations by making as the head of
their organization a beet sugar lobbier
and political manipulator of the rail
road vote They honored Senator
Thurston as one of their leaders even
after he had went into the courts and
worked for the Standard Oil Company
and against the state The goldites
have put up for their leading man for
United States senator a man who has
for years handled the B M railroad
vote It doesnt take a trained eye or
a bright mind to see how hard the gold
ites are working to elect the republican
nominees when their open bid for cor
porate and railway influence is so plain
to be seen by all If the republicans
think they can fool the people by talk
ing against the corporations when cor
porate attorneys run the campaign they
are mistaken Stanton Register
It is a sort of a maxim in law that a
sane man intends to do that which nat
urally aid logically results from his act
In the election this fall it is self evident
that either McKinJey on a platform for
a gold standard -tariff for protection of
trusts and colonial government of ac
quired territory or Bryan on a platform
that is bimetallic anti trust anti tariff
and self government for all people will
be elected to the presideucy Now in
view of the fact that one or other of
those gentlemen standing on such
platforms will be elected we wish to
commend the foregoing maxim to the
earnest consideration of all voters who
contemplate voting for anybody other
than McKinley or Bryan the man who
claims to believe in free coinage and to
be opposed to trusts imperialism and
militarism but who votes for any other
candidate for the presidency than Bry
an fails to make his vote count against
McKinley and his platform and since
he is presumed to intend that which
results from his act must be presumed
to intend to help elect McKinley

Who can enjoy that most endeared
song of songs more than one who can
enter into the spirit of Sweet land of
libertf Do you practice the golden
rule Why not accord others the priv
ileges you wish to enjoy A vote for
McKinley jneans a vote for corporations
greed and war upon our fellow men
who are not so powerful as we and
have been deprived of their freedom
all these 120 years that we have been
reveling with delight in a free country
where we can exercise tho right of fran
chise Let us not abuse that right
this coming November when we have
the power to call a halt upon the depre
dations on the lands of our neighbors
across the sea Come men let us act
like men and give freedom to every
human being McKinleys corporate
rule is imperialism Strike while you
may We may yet be in the shackles
WAR
The horrors of war are upon us
We eat drink and sleep while on the
other side of the water is pur neighbors
country bathed in blood How can we
turn a deaf ear to the call for freedom
of the Philippines Why should we
American people who have been hith
erto looked upon as the most enlighten
ed of people the most righteous of cit
izens the most honorable of republics
who have since our own freedom as
sisted our weaker sister republics in
maintaining their rights among nations
destroy the good will that has been
ours the time honored devotion to the
Declaration of Independence and tear
down and trail in the dirt the good
name that was ours and all for tta sat
isfaction and greed of a few corpor
ations who seemingly control our coun

of Mark and McKinleys administra
tion

LINCOLN PRESS LETTER
Ive always been a democrat he
said as he gazed soulfully at the amber
fluid in the glass he held aloft Ive
always been a dem6crat I whooped
it up for Bryan in 96 and Im doing it
this year Im for the whole fusion
ticket he added as he nibbled at a
campaign pretzel except Poynter
There are hundreds of us traveling
men who intend to vote for Dietrich
but well vote for Bryan and the rest
of the fusion ticket And he winked
knowingly at his companion
A little investigation brought out the
fact that the man had always affiiliated
with the republican party and had
probably never voted anything but the
republican ticket and probably never
will vote for any but republicans Look
out for him when he reaches your town
he is doing some special campaigning
for Dietrich
Good reports are coming in from all
parts of the state showing the strength
of the fusion nominees for the various
state offices The recent meeting of
the candidates and the executive com
mittees of the allied parties was pro
ductive of much good feeling and re
sulted in the adoption of plans for the
campaign which cannot fail to bring
success Eyery man has taken off his
coat and for the next three months the
republicans will be confronted with
such opposition as will strike terror to
their hearts
D Clem Deaver Jerome Shamp et
al called upon Secretary of State Port
er Tuesday last and left what purport
ed to be a certificate of nominations

Copper Production
Tbe growth of copper production in
the century has been very rapid being
in the first decade 91000 tons in the
fifth 291000 tonsand in the tenth dec
ade which ends with 1900 3743000
tons of which 1963000 tons is sup
plied by North America the larger
proportion of this being from the
United States The rapid extension
of the railroad system of Mexico is re
sulting in the opening ot some very
extensive copper mines in that coun
try the richness of the ores which as
a rule carry gold and silver together
with the abundance of very cheap la
bor and the climatic advantages will
tend to greatly increase the North
American production One of the
largest copper mining enterprises in
the world is now being started by the
Rothschildswho have invested 5000-
000 therein This great property is in
tho state of Michoacan and in the
same mineral belt as are the El Pro
greso Mines that are advertised in this
Issue The mainspring of the wonder
ful increase of the worlds production
of copper is of course the great profit
that results from mining it and at
the present time no better investment
is offered than the stock of a good cop
per mining company in the initial
stages and before a dividend is paid 1
