We notice the republican county
conventions being held are com-
mending the Taft administration
which indorses Cannon and Ald-
rich and revision upward. Any-
thing is swallowed down by the
rank and file of the republican
party. If , the leaders of a town-
will blaze the way the rest of them
will break their necks to get in ,
though in fact they may not in-
dorse a single thing the Taft ad-
ministration has done.
Joseph Sparks of Lincoln Neb. ,
has been selected for president of
the Nebraska. State Normal at
Chadron , which will likely open
September 1st. Mr. Sparks was
in Valentine last Saturday getting
acquainted and we acknowledge a
pleasant visit from "him in com-
pany of Superintendent Story. Mr.
Sparks is a recognized educator
and for several years past has had
charge of the teachers exami-
nations. 4Ve hope to see Cherry
county well represented at the
Normal school at Chadron where
they can learn as much and have
almost equal advantages of the
other schools of like character and
when the school is fully Equipped -
as it no doubt will be , it will be
second to none in the State , as a.
I
place of Normal training. . . . . "
Mayor , James C. Dahlman of
Omaha' visited' Valentine Tuesday ,
'coming 'down from Cody on the
local. Martin Christensen went
to Cody Monday evening to meet
him. During ; the afternoon we
enjoyed a pleasant visit from him
in company with Martin , who is
a candidate for representative.
Mr. Dahlman seems enthusiastic
in the belief that he will be the
democratic nominee for governor
and is straight out as to his policy.
Jim is ar old timer here and lived
at one time in Valentine. Every-
body knows him I and were glad to
see him. At an open air meeting
in the evening a large crosvd
listened attentively to an address
delivered by Mayor Jim and
cordially shook him by the hand
at the close. Pie was introduced
by Mayor Barker on the iron
stairway of Quigley's hall. '
Last week's issue of the Republi-
can contained a big advertisement
for a Dahlman rally at Valentine
Tuesday the 19th , which gives the
appearance that there is some sup-
port lent to his candidacy for gov- '
ernor by the republicans , as our
chairman and secretary disclaim
any knowledge or notice of this. I
Mr. Dahlman is a western man
and he has lots of friends here who
were intimately acquainted with
him in the early days , but the rank
and file of the democratic party in
, Cherry county is not at the present
time ready to vote for him as a
candidate for governor. They
were glad to see him elected and
re-elected mayor of Omaha , where
he has made good , and the time
may come when we will want to
run him for governor of this state
but we are not sure that this is the
time. , We think the people favor
Gov. Shallenberger for another
term.
U. S. SENATORIAL SITUATION
Richard L. Metcalfe has tiled his i
nomination 'for U. S. Senator as a
conciidate for the voters to vote
upon ' at the primary. Mr. Metcalfe
is Mr. Bryan's editor of the "Com
moner , " and in a letter to the
World-Herald , published July 12 , :
he assumes the responsibility for '
calling Mr. Bryan's attention to
his county option plank which
they are now seeking to inject into . :
the democratic platform at the
Democratic State Convention to be
held July 26th at Grand Island.
We do not think they will succeed
in their efforts nor do we think
Mr. Metcalfe : will be able to land
enough votes to make him candi-
date for U. S. Senator. There has
been considerable wire pulling to
get W. B. Price out of the race to
make room for Mr. Metcalfe as
Price was also a county optionist
and they finally prevailed upon
the latter to withdraw and favor
Metcalfe , as two in the race would
divide the support and Metcalfe
was thought to be the stronger
candidate.
G. M. Hitchcock is the can-
didate generally looked' upon as I
the strongman in the race though
he did not appear radical enough
for the liquor element nor satis-
factoryto the county option or
prphibition forces. He was too
strong a man for any of them to

TO rHE VOTERS OF GHERRY ! AND KEYA ! . . . PAHA COUNTIES
.
. .
' , -I had } decided several years ago never to enter politics again ; ' and up to last
winter found this easy. But while the frightful conditions existed during the
scarlet fever epidemic , along the line of railroad , and I found it impossible"for a
private citizen to get any State relief , I felt determined , that even if it should be-
come necessary for : me to be a candidate for the Legislature , I would do it-if by
so doing I would be able to get the people to take action and demand that the State
extend to its citizens the same protection it has given to cattle and hogs , in pre
venting the spread of contagious diseases. ,
I have watched with interest the fight the State and Federal authorities have
waged against diseases of horses , cattle and hogs , and while it has cost thousands
of dollars , it has been effective it has been money well spent. And it has occurred
to me that a campaign against contagious diseases , prosecuted by the people of the
State , can bring great results , if undertaken in time - and the time is now. The
criminal carelessness of the railroads in carrying and spreading the disease all
along the road would not have been tolerated by the State if it had been glanders ,
hog cholera or Texas fever. The inability of our local physicians , along the lines
of road , to cope with the situation , is well known.
We have a State Board of Health , but did they help us ? We have laws to
compel the railroads to run sanitary cars , but did , they ?
The possibility that we may have another such epidemic is before us. Should
we not prevent it , if it lies within our power so to do ? I shall distribute five
thousand of these letters in Cherry and Keya Paha , and also in other counties.
Whether or not they help to elect me , I believe I shall have at least accomplished
what I want , and laws will be enacted and enforced to protect our families as well
as our cattle and hogs. - It is an easy matter to point out the evil , but harder to
point out the remedy. . If elected I propose that the State establish temporary
State hospitals , where a permanent hospital cannot be maintained , and that the
f most skilled experts in contagious diseases be put in charge during the epidemic.
If I should be elected will of course be required to vote on other subjects
and it is my desire that every voter shall know where I will vote.
I consider it-an injustice to Cherry county that the Fort Niobrara military
reservation is held by the War Department without making any use of it , and am
in favor of allowing them a certain . time to re-establish it , or have the reservation
opened up for settlement. ' ' . . -
I wish to give Mr. Carr credit for locating the State Experimental Statiori
at Valentine , and promise to exert my best efforts to make it a success.
, - I shall vote for the Initiative and Referendum.
I am in favor of the Oregon plan of electing Senators by direct vote.
I am opposed to county option- , but believe the present methods of expend-
ing moneys collected from : saloons is unjust to people outside of the precinct , and : -
believe that wherever high schools are maintained largely by moneys collected
from saloon licenses the pupils outside of the precinct should "be taught the higher
grades without having to pay a tuition fee.
I am in favor of the day-light closing law , but believe that cities of first
class should have the privilege of regulating their own affairs in such matters. ,
I am in favor of divorcing politics from all school affairs , and believe that ' \ . _ . . .
the Crabtree affair was a disgrace to the State. , ,
I believe in radical reform in educational matters. I think our children are -
taught on too many subjects at one time , with the result of their having acquired
a vague . knowledge of most everything and no practical knowledge of anything.
1'believe need an expert State examiner to examine all County records .
once a year and publish the result-it would pay. _
We need radical reforms in our code of laws. I believe our law's should be i
worded so plain that any one can understand them. , , > . . . r J , . . ;

"
. I believe the common people should have a better opportunity to read the
statutes , not leaving it altogether to the lawyers. It would save the people much .
money if they knew our common laws betteT as the courts hold that ignorance of
the law does not justify the breaking it.
I believe in some change in our game laws which will tend not only to better
protect our game but also to make them so reasonable that our people would feel -
like supporting our game wardens instead of shielding those who break the law. / .
In conclusion I wish to state as my opinion that no man can represent a
Legislative district as he should , without the aid of the people of the district , and
if elected I shall vote as the majority demands , but in no case for any special
privilege or special interests.

combat as an all-around man with-
out catching : up an idea upon
which they could claim par excel-
lence and yet may not possess the
ability to equal Mr. Hitchcock in
all that is required of a U. S.
Senator to represent our state in I
the upper house.
Willis E. Reed , of Madison , came
to the front several weeks ago as
the champion of the liquor forces
and seems to be their man. No
doubt both Mr. Reed and Mr.
Metcalfe have other qualifications
worthy of mention but they appar-
ently come before the people upon
their favorite hobby.
Therefore if we want a U. S. I
Senator who is pronounced for I
county option we believe Mr. 1\1et-1
calfe will please the most radical I
enthusiast on the subject. But if
on the contrary we want an enthus-
iast ferninst county option Mr. :
Reed will meet the fullest expecta-
tions along that line.
Mr. Hitchcock is opposed to
county option being placed in the
democratic platform this year but
is making , his campaign upon other
matters more democratic and the
voters will find much to commend
him for in his past record as a
democrat.

query regarding prices of land in this

tier of Kansas counties , " will say that
prices range higher Nebraska. . "
Dysentery is a dangerous disease but
can be cured. Chamberlain's Colic ,

been successfully used inline epidemics
of dysentery. It has never been known

with water and sweetened , it is pleasant ,
to take. Sold by Chapman Drug Co.
