THE GUBERNATORIAL SITUATION I
.
The primary vote on governor
is very close and a recount in sev-
eral counties has been ordered.
With partial returns in , Dahlraan
appears to be 61 votes in the lead
dy
of Gov. Shallenberger. Cherry
county's official vote cuts this fig
ure down to 53 , and a number of
irregularities in counties where it i t
is reported the vote on governor
will be materially changed will 1
likely give Gov. Shallenberger a
strong lead. It is claimed by the
et
Dahlman crowd that the populist
ticket was counted for Shallenber-
ger's democratic nomination. The
Shallenberger crowd claims that
many republicans voted for Dahl
man for governor and on the re-
mainder of the ticket voted repub
lican. This is shown ! from the l
face of the returns that the com
bined vote for Dahlman and Shal
lenberger and the remainder of
the republican state ticket outside
'of governor exceeds by far the
total vote cast in many precincts.
This not only is said to have oc
curred in . Omaha but * in . twelve or
thirteen counties and a recount of
those counties has been ordered by
Gov. : Shallenberger. These ap
parent frauds are also supported 1
by affidavits showing such to be
the case and that there was a con
siderable number who either mis
. understood the primary law or
openly violated it in their voting
on two tickets in trying to nomi
nate a democratic governor and
also vote for their favorite state ,
senatorial , representative and con
gressional candidates ' on ' the re'
publican ticket. ThesV > irregiilari-
ties may be oset-by ttie } . populist
votes counted ! for Gov. . ' Shallen
.
berger as democratic : -Votes , ye t
the law should be complied with
before criticism is applied to the
law.

E. B. Quible and J. F. Naylor
of : 'lerriman'were in Valentine
last Thursday on business and the
latter met a numberof people here
i.
who were favorably impressed
with him as a candidate for county
commissioner. These . gentlemen .
called at our office and we found
Mr. Naylor a pleasant man to
meet and we learn that he has a
good education and Merriman peo :
ple speak in confidence of his high
standing socially amongst them.
They recommend him to the peo
pIe of Cherry county for county
commissioner. They are entitled
to some recognition at. the- , , count' .
seat of this large county and we
don't know of any better time for
Cherry county to give them re
cognition than at th.is" time when
they have a good candidate for an
important office in which we all
feel interested and have the assur
ance that this will'creditably .
fill the bill. Mr. Nay lor tells us
that he expects to come down to
Valentine ' this - week and go out to
the Sparks reunion and will also
attend the fraternal picnic held in
Valentine next week and if possi
ble go out to the North Table pic
nic , so as to get acquainted with 1i
the people though he thinks be
cannot afford to make a house to
house campaign but is willing to
stir about some so as to give the
people a chance to meet him and \
so that he can become better ac
quainted in the counTy. .
While the republicans were
"payin' 'tention" to Dahlman in i
Omaha their own favorite candi
date , Cady , failed to get the nomi
nation. Now if Dahlman should I
lose out in the recount with Gov.
Shallenberger ; , the Omaha wet re
publicans will be in a predicament ,
A letter from jVIr. ' Carr at Spring-
view gives the official vote on _ re
presentative : " M. ' Christensen 14 ;
Jolm F. Carr 68.

t OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
LAu _ ( Special I _ Correspondent M W W ) .J
Pinchot Wise > to Protection
Ex-Forester Clifford Pinchot has
ideas on other things beside con-
servation. At a dinner given re-
cently he declared that the nation
had lost confidence in congress be
cause it represented special inter-
ests rather than the people . . Con-
tinuing , he said :
"And of this there could be no
better illustration than the tariff.
The tariff , under the policy of
'protection , was originally a means
to raise the rate of wages. It has
been made a tool to increase the
cost of living * .
'The cotton cloth schedule was
I increased in the face of the uncon-
I tradicted public testimony of the
I manufacturers themselves that i it
ought to remain unchanged.
I "The steel interests by a trick
secured an indefensible increase in
the tariff on structural steel.
"The sugar trust stole from the
government like a petty thief , yet
congress , by means of a dishonest
schedule , continues to protect iti in
bleeding the public. " ( Republican
papers please copy. )
A Frank Admission
Representative Charles E. Lit-
tlefield of Maine : , now admits that
the plank in the last republican
national platform regarding in -
junctions was put there to placate
the labor leaders ; and with no in
tention of its being carried out.
He carries his frankness to an even
greater extent and says the plank
is "perfectly non-committal" and
means nothing , being simply a
dishonest trick to lure the unwary
workingman and delude him with
the belief that the republican party
was his friend. If the truth , was
told , it would no doubt reveal that
the tariff revision plank was an-
other dishonesty plank , never in
tended of fulfillment , and that the
whole platform was a tissue of
falsehood and false pretense.
Secret Publicity
The bill l providing publicity for
campaign expenditures and con-
tributions passed at the last session
and signed by President Taft , is i '
not what the people have for years .
been demanding. I
The house provided for publici- I
ty before election , but the senate I
refused to pass such a measure
and as a result of a conference
publicity will not be made until ]
after the elections have taken
place.What's .
What's the use of publicity after
an election , when what has been
done cannot be undone ?
Publicity before an election
would seem to be the only kind of f
publicity worth anything ; for then
the voters would be given timely
notice as to which party and can-
didates were of , by and for the
trusts , and which were of , for and
by the people.
Gore Was Honest
The recent attempt to corrupt
Senator Tom Gore of Oklahoma
was accompanied by features most
distressing the Blind statesman.
Gore has felt the sting of poverty
in its bitterest forms. Even now
I he has nothing but his salary. The
! person who he says offered him
$25,000 to change his position on
the Indian legislation was a per-
sonal friend of long standing.
This man knew Gore had often
suffered from sheer want. But
Gore was not for sale.
How It Looked
.
The next day after Representa-
tive Havens ( democrat ) changed a
republican majority into a 5,000
democratic ( majority , in the Roch-
ester i , N , Y. , congressional dis
trict , a newspaper man asked a
prominent republican stand patter
if he did not think the democrats
would carry the next house , where-
upon the disgusted and crestfallen
republican replied : llCarry theI I
next house Hell ! If the repub-
lican members keep on dying ,
they'll carry the present house. " ,
As to Postal Banks
Congress passed the kind of pos-

TV. R. Andrews of Grand Bap- '

the following appeal to the Fili- ,
pinos :
You Filipinos dbn'fc know : what
you are missing by not wanting '
to become citizens of this grand
country ours. There isn't any ,
thing like it under the sun. You
tI
ought to send a delegation over to
see usthe land of the free-land
of fine chuches and 40,060 licensed
saloons ; bibles , forts and guns ,
houses of prostitution ; millionaires
and paupers ; " theologians and
thieves ; liberists and liars ; politi ,
cians and poverty ; Christians and _ _
chain gangs ; schools and scala- ;
wags ; trusts and tramps ; money
and misery ' ; homes and hunger ; ,
virtue and vice ; a land where you
can get a good bible for fifteen cents
and a bad drink of whiskey for five
cents ; where we have , a man in con-
gress with three wives and a lot in
the penitentiary for having two
wives ; where some men make sau-
sage out of their wives , and some
want to eat them raw ; where we
make bologna out of dogs , canned
beef out of horses and sick cows , and
/
corpses out of the people who eat
it ; where we put a man in jail for
not having the means of pupport
and on the rock pile for asking for
a job of work ; where we license
bawdy houses and fine men for
preaching Christ on the street cor
ners ; where we have a congress of
400 men who make laws , and a
supreme court of nine men who set
them aside ; where good whiskey
makes bad men and bad men make \
good whiskey ; where newspaper
are paid for suppressing ! the truth \
and made rich for teaching a lie ; .
where professors draw their con- . '
victions from the same place they
do their salaries ; where preachers
are paid $25,000 a year to dodge
the devil and tickle the ears of the
wealthy ; where business consists of
getting hold of property in any way
that won't land you in the peniten
tiary ; where trusts 'hold up' and
poverty 'holds down' ; where men

where men vote for a thing one day
and cuss it 364 days ; . \\hero we
have prayers on the floor of our
National Cajitol and whiskey in the
cellar ; where we spend $ 500 to buy
a statesman who is rich and 310 to

poor ; where to be virtuous js to be
lonesome and to be honest is to be
