Dear Friend :
I see by the papers
that the peoples independent candi
date for congress in the sixth dis
trict has withdrawn from the race.
This should give you the populist
vote. IMon who are opposed to tax
ation without representation , who
are opposed to paying the taxes
while the railroads do the represent
ing , who are opposed to the King
George theory of government of
colonies , who are opposed to the'
deporation of freemen without law
or criminal charge , and men who
have sense enough to know that
the exercise of such undemocratic
conduct , with the sanction of the
administration must lead to a com
plete destruction of the liberties of
the people , cannot vote the re pub-
lican ticket. WM. NEVILLE.
Elmer F , Vifqnain ,
This gentleman was nominated
by the fusion forces for represen
tative from the 52nd district.
Mr. Vifquain is the son of the
late Colonel Vifquain and has been
a resident of Ke.va Paha county
for twenty-one years and has nev
er held a county oflice. He is a well
educated man , a stock raiser and
is a successful farmer , with a
strong feeling for thc people of
his class. He is 40 years of age ,
and no farmer or citizen of this
district could so far forget his own
interests as to vote against this
man. We need a legislature this
winter that will have our interests
and the interests of Nebraska at
heart and it makes but little dif
ference to us which railroad elects
the U. S. Senator.
Mr. Vifquain carries about 150
head of cattle and is deeply inter
ested in the welfare of the cattle
business.
McNeel and Kinkaid ,
The certificate of nomination of
Walter B. McNeel for congress was
filed with the secretary of state
Monday , and the fight for congress
is now on between Mr. McNeel and
Mr. Kinkaid. Mr. McNeel is not
a silver tongued orator , neither is
he a lawyer. He is a farmer and
ranchman residing in Lincoln
county. lie has been a mechanic
and a successful one. He is a man
of excellent intelligence and has
lived upon the soil of Nebraska
long enough to fully know what
the people of the Sixth district
want. He is a man of high edu
cation and a native of Virginia.
The farmers and agricultural class
es of the Sixth district have never
been represented in Congress by
ono. of their own members , and if
they ever get any relief it must
come through those who belong to
their own class , and Mr. McNoel
represents them fully upon every
question that interests them. Mr.
McNeel will begin his campaign at
once and push it as vigorously as
possible in his own way , which in
tin- p-i t liaalways proven suc-
c * .ssful in all things political which
he lias undertaken. He is a hard
worker and convincing in his man
ner of meeting the agricultural
Dr. Compton returned Sunday
from a visit in Honey Grove , Texas.
Card of Thanks.
We desire to express our heart
felt thanks to our friends and
neighbors for their kind assistance
in the burial of our son and broth
er , and , we are thankful for tin *
living respect shown our dead in
many ways.

'
"We have received the following
letter from the National Live
Stock Association which reached
us too. late for publication last
week :
Denver , Colo.Oct. 17,190 . To
the members of the National Live
Stock Association : Chai-le > F.
; Martin , secretary of this associa
| tion , almost since its organization ,
died suddenly at Greelcy , Colo.on
September 21 , 190i , as a result of
hemorrhage of the lungs. At the
time of his death , Mr. Martin was
enroute from Denver to Casper ,
Wyo. , on association business.
At a meeting of the board of
control held in Denver to consider
the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr. Martin , it was decided that
no appointment would be made
until the convening of the next
annual convention which is to be
held in Denver the week of Janu
ary 9 , 1905. The affairs of the *
association were placed under the
active direction of a committee ,
consisting of Fred P. Johnson ,
George W. Ballantine and George
L. Goulcling , of Denver , with H.
E. Kennedy as clerk in charge of
the secretary's office. Communi
cations may be addressed to H. E.
Kennedy , Clerk Nat'I. Live Stock
Ass'n. , Denver , Colorado.
The board of control is of the
op pinion that at the coming annu
al convention , steps should be a
taken looking to a partial re-or
ganization of the association upon
lines that will permit of more ex
tensive and practical work than
has heretofore been accomplished.
The demand for an organization
representing all of the various
branches of the live stock industry
has become so strong , that at the
coming convention , an effort will
be made to so amend the constitu
tion and by-laws , as to make of a
this org/mization the strongest in
dustrial association in the country.
The officers of the association
have received assurances from
prominent stockmen and others , of
both moral and financial support ,
providing such action is taken at
our coming convention as will put
the association upon a broader and
more conservative basis than has
heretofore obtained. To secure
this result , it will be necessary to-
thoroughly revise our constitution
*
1
and by-laws so as to better equal- ,
ize the representation and pro-
vide a basis of active co-operation 3
between the many allied interest
that are connected with the in-
dustr.v. The local committee in
charge < f headquarters will ad
dress you later and more in detail ,
upon these plans. By order of
the board of control.
