Republican prosperity and the
full dinner pail howl has not made
Cherry county ranchmen feel de
lighted beyond measure under
present prospects.
" \Vm. Hearst is now the leading
candidate for president on the
democratic ticket. He is meeting
with some opposition but it is be
ing overcome in most instances as
his popularity as a leader becomes
known. He is a thorough busi
ness man and has been successful ,
though giving away thousands of
dollars to the poor and worthy
each year , taking the lead with re
lief in times of local disaster as
was the case at the time of the
Galveston ilood and many such
deeds of charity are recorded to
his credit. THE DEMOCRAT will
present articles regarding his life
and work in future editions that
our people may become better ac
quainted with him.
The republicans have howled
about their Dietrich until they are
hoarse. They -voted for him to a
man walked around town with
him to the saloons , standing out
side while Dietrich went in to tank
up and show the boys that he was
a good fellow. This was the re
publican candidate for governor
four years ago that they spo'ke so
highly of as the man for governor
of our state , yes , four years ago.
Later Savage took Dietrich's place
and Dietrich went to the senate.
The republican party has always
been proud of him. They refused
to nominate Savage two years ago ,
thereby showing that they were
not proud of him because of his
record in turning Joe Bartley loose.
" Then Mickey , the great , was called
to" run for governor on the g. o. p.
ticket. He was a Sunday school
man and wouldn't have public
dances at the capitol. There are a
lot of other heavy charges against
the man similar to the above and
now there are two other candidates
in the field ready to take his place.
Judge Robertson , of Norfolk , is
prominently mentioned and is per
haps a better qualified man than
either of the others , but they won't
nominate him. They'll re-nomi
nate Mickey if Harrison will re
tire , just to show us that they can't
turn him down , but they'll use ev
ery effort to get Mickey to say
that he won't accept it again as an
excuse lo nominate Harrison.

Gov. Mickey has ordered all
cattle infected with Texas itch in
the state of Nebraska to be dipped
with a view to stamping out the
disease. This order should be
heartily complied with by stock
men everywhere and everyone
who owns stock should co-operate
with each other to see that the itch
is stamped out as speedily as pos
sible , not only of their own herds
but to see that others who seem to
be negligent in taking care of their
cattle , should at least be required
to prevent the spread of the itch
among-their cattle.
