REVIEW Of 011R CANDIDATES
Our whole state ticket is composed of
honest honorable and competent men
And they are worthy of the office and
the confidence of our people Every
one of them is above reproach Each
carefully selected with regard to his
fitness for the position Each of them
were presented in their turn of uomi
nation at the state convention and ap
propriate speeches of acceptance made
by them with promises to continue the
fair reputation of the state as far as in
their power and ability lies an J no one
present in the least doubted their sin
cerity or that they were true patriots
You will not make a mistake in giv
ing them your vote
WilHam Neville of North Platte is
too well known here to need comment
at this time Everyone knows that he
has worked honestly for the people of
the Sixth Congressional District during
his present term and returns from all
over the district show that he is now
the unanimous choice of all parties ex
cepting a few partisan spirits that
vould never admit they were wrong in
anything Mr Neville is a man of
keen business ability and our people
are proud of the stand he took in put
ting but vaccine for the stockmen by
the government The people of our
town cannot vote against VVm Neville
without working against their own in
terests Dont let party prejudice keep
you from voting for the mau who is
in favor of maintaining the military
post at this place We refer you t j the
Congressional record of Jan 30 19 0
as to the stand the republican party
takes on removal of military frontier
posts
W F Hayward candidate for state
senator is a man of good business abil
ity and not toadying after a stock asso
ciation whose president is now under
bonds for stealing cattle and of which
VanBoskirk is secretary
Honest Joe Langeris the man to cast
your vote for in voting for representa
tive He is a man well liked by his
own people and is not a chronic office
seeker as he has not been before the
people before Do no vote for a jack
leg lawyer who has Ins shingle stuck
out for the name it gives him and is up
for office whenever his people will let
him get onto the t cket We heard
something about a lot of bills that were
not paid and that if Horton didnt get
the office this time it would be a long
time to wait Voters do you want thi
land of a man to represent you Do
you wish to represent yourself and your
interests in that way If not vote for
Honest Joe Langer
A M MorrifgeyW E Halev and
Andrew P Madden are men of ability
atad character unquestioned They
are worthy your hearty support

The republican party promised free
trade to the people of Porto Rico and
kept their promise by taxing them 15
per cent 011 imports
These wrongs of McKinley being ad
mitted you now ask What will you
do in the event of Bryans election
We will show that we are giving to
the world an example of True and
not False civilization We will
make the stars and stripes the flag of
1776 and 1861 and by our action it
shall float ouly above tLe heads of free
men and not above sirfs aud slaves
We will deuy to uo people The right
of self government and shall judge
them as fit subjects for such when the
willingly give up their lives for it
Our party has ahvaMs been oppoed
to the illegal formation of trusts and
if successful this ear we pledged
to stand with the laboring and produc
ing classes and against that which has
mortgaged McKiuley to the Trusts aud
money power of our country
Our candidate for the presidency
Mr Bran stands toda without a peer
as a champion of the rights of the
common people
A vote for Bryan and Steveusou is a
vote to perpetuate the principles of
Washington Jefferson and Lincoln
A complete revie of fusion rule in
Nebraska is not necessary but I desire
to call your attention to the men on
our ticket for state offices
Governor P03 uter candidate for gov
ernor has done much to make our
state otfe whose credit is far above
boasting republican states which have
never known what it was to be govern
ed by a iusionist governor
All other candidates with him are
men who are trul lepreseutative citi
zens of your statemeu who are 111 no
way allied with corporate power but
are actual members of the farming and
laboring classes It is very important
that Senator A Hen and another fusionist
should be elected as United States sena
tors and to accomplish this we must
vote and labor for success of our legis
lative ticket W F Hay ward and Joe
Langer
Our candidate for County Attorney
AMMorrisseyi too well known to the
business men of Cherry count to need
any formal introduction His admin
istration has been tlie ablest and clean
est we have ever had
W E Halej and Peter Madsen can
didates for Commissioner of 1st and 3d
districts were placed in nomination be
cause of their splendid business qualifi
cations so necessary to make a com
missioner a worthy and safe servant of
the people
In asking for your support this fall
we do so sincerely beleiving that the
principles which we advocate and can
didates we support are better calculated
to serve you than those of the Republi
can party
We will have to solve rave and se
rious questions this year and we ought
to do so as American citizens and not
as partisans
The triumphant election of William
J Bryan seems now assured and the
beginning of the new century made
bright because we have chosen to the
high office of president one who beleives
All men are created free and equal
Let us by our votes show to the world
tbatNebraska stands as an example nuill
that is good and for all that has for its
aim and object the uplifting of all man

Who gets these profits The answer
is simple The trusts The trusts want
McKinley re elected He will not even
notice their existence except to pro
mote them Legislation to restrain
their depredations need not be feared
under his administration
Hanna doesnt even know that trustk
exist Every person who buys sup-
plies for farm or house could enlighten
him
The account of the conditions under
which coal miners have been working is
enough to set every citizen to thinking
upon the subject
What an object lesson in trust metlr
ods Here is a combination which
could pay fair wazes and hnnsn u
employees comfortably yet take veryf
little from the millions always being
piled up for it by the consumers
The miners were kept In debt It
was a preventive of strikes When at
laat these docile workmen concluded to
strike they surprised the operators by
showing that they could endure Idle
ness and hunger quite as stoically as
they had endured hard toil with a run
ning accompaniment of the empty din
ner pail
Hanna has been conferring with coal
operators and railroad magnates try
ing to settle the strike until after elec
tion
It has been suggested that wages
would be advanced and other conces
sions made but that the operators
would deal with the men individually
and not with their organization
This looks like a comparatively un
important point But the men realize
that concessions made to them Individ
ually may be taken away immediately
after election The breaking of the
strike will then have served its pur
pose
A wago scale signed with the union
Is not always kept but the chances are
in its favor The miners in the
minous regions succeeded in having a
union scale signed in 1S97 for the first
time It has been keot Uu to that
jtime strikes evan when successful
gave oniy a temporary bsnefit
The whole Country is interested In
tlib ccfol sitntftlbn The combine has
taken care that the prbdtfcWs shall not
be indifferent If the strike is pmn
promised now it will still have had itai V-
innuence oa the voters
