. I . . . . - . . r\ ; ' tq THE VOTERS , : ( Continued from page 4. ) I code of equal rights to every citizen. , Mr. Voter , you want to live in a better government of the people and with your vote you make it better or worse. Your vote counts for one. We are not here for all time and may not live to correct a vote . wrongly cast. , though we may vote many times hereafter. therefore , appeal to you for our mutual welfare to ' vote at this election for good , honest men , as far as you may learn , and encourage your neighbors to do likewise. We have presented before you the candidates on the democratic ticket , believing they are worthy of your sup Sup- 'corporation democrats , " as W. J. Taylor has aptly ex- pressed it , "are no better than corporation republicans. " For the U. S. senate , Hon. G. M. Hitchcock has fought the battles of the common people 1 in congress and he is ready to take up the battle for a reduction oft11e , tariff in the senate , which has been the real live issue for 40 years , though often obscured and lost sight of in our political battles. Many republicans care very little , or nothing , for the success of Slippery Elmer Burkett and realize that he voted oftener for Rhode Island's than for his home state's interest , while Mr. : Hitchcock was voting with the 'insurgent or progressive republicans and the democrats in the House for our home state and her peo- ple's interests exposing the Alaskan coal land frauds of the administration and Kinkaid's connection therewith followed the congressional investigation , showing that while our people were relying upon him for needed leg- islation , Kinkaid was.gobbling up something for himself and voting for the G-iiggenheim claims to go to patent as well as his own. W. J. Taylor will represent the people of this dis- trict in congress as they should be. James C. Dahlman is a more worthy candidate for governor - ' than Mr. Aldrich. He will be an Andrew Jackson type , of firm convictions and ready decisio ns , in which , he will not be influenced by fanatical elements , ( svayed this way and that , like a former governor who wanted to be popular above judicial action. Mr. Dahl- man rose from th e common people and with them will be r his interest and sympathies. John F. Carr is an ideal type of citizen and we feel assured that the people will give him a handsome ma- jority , but don't neglect him. He ought to have loyal . . . . support . as a reward for his work in the last legislature . a and this will assist him when he calls for further favors t for this district. Chas. A. Ruby will make a faithful official as county attorney. His energy , industry , honesty and ability will repay our taxpayers in honest service for his salary and he should receive your support. J. F. Naylor , candidate for county commissioner , is a man of superior ability and splendid education. . His r wide experience andpleasant agreeable disposition' es- pecially fit him for the work of county commissioner. This is one of the most important offices in the county , for the county board has charge of the finances of our county. Good judgment and progressiveness is an es- 1 " sential quality in this office and Mr. Naylor has in ad- ' V \ieSation to these the popular will and wishes of his Merri- \.u \cvan neighborswithout regard to party. A vote for him is in your own interest as a taxpayer or for whatever Business you may have to transact in that office. . . : Now , in conclusion , let me add that while we may j , hot have properly presented the claims and qualifications of all or any of these : worthy candidates , let that be not . a valid reason for lack of support and rather , if we have f < failed , we ask you to supply our deficiency and give these men the support they deserve for your own inter- ests. It is a duty for you to perform next Tuesday. .

It has been proven that the words "Chg : this to J. S. Bartley Treas : " kvere ] pasted onto the slip with intent to further de ceive and , that other words were dexteriously cut out.

Mr. Dahlman's traducers now ask the voters of this state to accept an unsigned version of the shoot- ing of Brev , given by an old get - tleman in his datage in the howls I of a skilful reporter who was sent I southern Texas for that purpose ' This version differs from Dab I man only in some of the minor I details of the shooting , but g'osse over by the reporter , seeks to put the outlaw Brev in the most favoi able light possible , yet he was compelled to admit that Brev was supposed to have been hung some eighteen months after Dahlman ; had left Texas.

" . * . " " ! I , The average iurmer in Nebraska ! does not object to the lightning rod man or the tree agent jollying him a . little now and then , because he is not obliged to buy their goods , if he does not want to. But when a Candida. ; for the United States senate seeks his vote to secure a position conferring on him power that can be used to in- crease the price of the lumber , hard I ware , machinery , clothing and other I items that the farmer must buy , jolly ing don't go , bat the candidate must I chow by his record that he has used his influence in the past on the side I of justice to the farmer and not on I I the side of these who , through tariff I schedules , levy unjust tribute upon the farmer in the price of the goods he must consume. The farmers of Nebraska this year : , regardless of party , will very generally vote to send Gilbert M. Hitchcock l to the United States senate and retire Elmer J. I Burkelt , because Hitchcock's record is I on the side of the farmer and Eur- : lett's record is on the side of those I who would raise the price of his lum ber , fence wire and other necessities. I ? , lr. Hitchcock challenged Senator Bur kett to meet him in joint debate be- fore the voters of the state and' com- pare records , but the wily : Burkett : de- clined the invitation and still con tinues the jollying came , telling : the farmers how much he loves them and I what a great country we are living in. Present indications are that the vot ers of the btate are well on to Bar- kct's jollying game , and that they will sit down hard on him " n election day.

The object and purpose of coun ty option is to secure : : : county prohi bition wherever it can be done. . An affirmative vote on the license : ques tion in a county does not change UK.- present laws at all , while a nega tive vote means prohibition for the county. Thprcfore , there can bpnc reason urged in favor of the change rxcept the desire to put the towns. viHagrs ! and cities ! of the county under ] a prohibitory law l wherever it is pos sibly for this to be done : , _ 10 _ _ . _ . _ . . . . . .

The truth of Mr. Phil : lips' statement has been abundantly demonstrated wherever prohibitory : laws have been tried. A prohibitory i ir.w put upon a town against the will of a majority of the citizens thcreoi is net relished any better if the county DC the offender , than though the law was enacted by the legislature of the slnto.
