"We Were
We were mistaken last week in
stating that C. P. Bresee , the re
publican nominee for state senator ,
was a stockman. We were wrong ,
as we have since learned from a
reliable source that he never was
a stockman. We do not know C.
P. Bresee , but wrote up the article
as Frank Bresee , having been first
informed that it was Frank , and
did not change the article except
ing C. P. of Rushville.
jVYe have ilso learned that Mr.
Bresee lives in Rushville and rides
on a railroad pass , furnished him
for political services rendered or
for what he is expected to render
ror the railroads. C. P. Bresee is
f
also a staunch supporter of the pres
ent revenue law which was saddled
onto the people by railroad domi
neering and wire pulling for the
benefit of the railroads in the last
legislature. In fact C. P. Bresee
is just the reverse of what we
would like to say for him. Peo-
who knqw him say he is a pleasant
fellow to meet and personall
jolly fellow but is a subservient
railroad tool and that because of
his views on the present revenue
law a number of republicans in his
own town are opposed to his elec
tion this fall.
IT.
Tbe State Democrat is everjoyed
at the selection of Mr. Berge to
head the ticket. It has realized
all along that the populists would
claim the governship , and felt it
a just claim. "We have fought for
aad with Mr. Berge , and our ad
miration for him has led us to hope
for his nomination. , > It has so come
to pass. "Vv e are glad for the pee
ple's sake it is so , for if he is elect
ed he will serve the people so well
that they will be glad to give him
another term. He is an absolute
ly clean man. He is absolutely an
honest man. He is absolutely no
railroad's candidate. He h abso
lutely an unpledged man. He is a
man. every inch of him. Not any
voice can lift him up in honest
condemnation of him. As a law
yer his record is as straight as the
sun's rays. He has often been
selected to look after other pee
ple's affairs because he was known
to be hor.est. What better trib
ute needs he ? What better rec
ommendation ? Nebraska State

Some republicans who recognize
the fact that Mr. Mickey does not
deserve re-election express the
opinion that , "Roosevelt may pull
Mickey through. "
We Jiad a presidential election
four years ago. Mr. Poynter was
the fusion candidate for governor.
Mr. Dietrich was the republican
candidate for governor. At that
election , Mr. Dietrich received
113,879 votes ; Mr. Poynter re-1
ceived 113,018 ; the prohibition ,
candidate received 4,315 ; the socialist - j
ialist candidate received 6-ii ; and. .
the "middle-of-the-road" populist ,
candidate received 1,095. The )
combined anti-republican vote was
119,099 or 5,220 more than the
number of votes cast'for the re
publican nominee for governor.
Mr. Dietrich was elected by 861j !
plurality. 1
In 1890 Mr. Dietrich' standing
among the republicans was far bet
ter than Mr. Mickey's standing at
the present time.
Since 1900 the people of Ne
braska have been required to sub
mit to great impositions at the' '
lianas of the corporations. |
Since 1900 the people of this
state have been shamed and humiliated - j
iated by Dietrichism and Mickey-
ism. Since 1900 the people have' '
been given several striking object
lessons showing that if they would
have creditable representation in' '
the senate and a governor of whom j
they would not be ashamed , they j
must take a hand in theelection of. .
these public officials and musti
challenge the authority of the railroad - ,
road lobbyists to choose the sena
tor and the governor.
In 1900 there was no compari
son between the republican candi
date and the fusion candidate for ,
governor. The people , however , '
did not learn the truth until it was
too late to avoid the error of voting
ing Dietrichism upon themselves.
In this year there is no compari
son between the republican candi
date and the fusion candidate for
governor. The one was chosen by
the corporations , and aside from
his alignment with special inter-1
ests , he has repeatedly offended
the good sense of the people of
this state by posing as a "holier
than thou" man. The fusion nominee - i
nee was chosen because a majority 1
of men in the democratic conven-
bion , as well as in the populist con-
mention , knew him and trusted him. i
The people have a fairly accur- <
ate idea of Mr. Mickey. Those
| who do not yet know Mr. Berge
may learn from the men who know
liim well that he is a man to be
trusted and respected.
Those who count on Mr. Roosevelt
velt "pulling Mickey through , "
fail to take into account the trouble
Mr. McKinley had in pulling Diet
rich through , and fail , also , to re
member that Mr. Mickey was so
unpopular even in his own party
that after the delegates to the re
publican convention had been forc
ed to renominate him they would
not permit him to take the plat
form and thank them for the hpnor
they had conferred upon him.

Mrs. Denney , a lady represent
ing the Christian Home of Council
Bluffs , la. , occupied the pulpit of
the M. E. church last Sunday and
Monday evenings in the interest
of the home. She came to take
Edna Gorier of Valentine to the
home.
Geo. Bristol had a sale of his
household effects last Saturday oh
Main street in front of the Home
Bakery and expects to go to Cali
fornia with his family for the
benefit of the health of his little
boy. Many articles sold very low
but there wasn't many buyers ,
presumably because few knew of
the sale or when it would be. It
pays to advertise. If you have
anything that is Nworth selling , a
small sum spent in advertising to
find people who are in need of what
you offer is not only a good policy
but it does not impose on friends
who dislike to see a person's goods
go at robbery prices and feel it
their duty to buy some things they
do not really have any use for.
Some articles sold well that found
a person or two or three that could
use the same.
C. F. Callen was over from
Sparks lastFriday making arrange
ments for the re-union of Cherry
and Keya Paha counties which is
lueld at Sparks each year. This is
the time of the year when most of
the work is done and the old set
tlers come together again to re
count the many experiences at
tendant upon the early pioneers.
It is the time when the young
folks liive to get out for a good
time after the wor-k of a year. It's
the time when everybody ought to
lay aside their work , whether they
are prepared or not , because if
they don't come , somebody will be
disappointed. Everyone who lives
close can return home in the eve
ning if they want to , but many
will stay over night and those who
stay will find a nice camping
ground and Mr. Callen tells us that
hay will be furnished for your
horses.
