Every republican should vote next
Tuesday, November 6.
Republican candidates are pledged
to reduce freight rates.
A vote for Sheldon next Tuesday,
will be a vote to reduce freight rates.
A vote for the straight republican
ticket is a vote to endorse President
Roosevelt
Platte county has always been un
der the influence and control of the
democratic party. Can anyone be
proud of the fact?. Are our taxes
less than in our neighboring republi
can counties? Not at all. Our taxes
have always been up to the full limit
of the law and all the traffic would
bear. Have we any fine public build
ings erected by our democratic offi
cials? Not any. Next to Colfax
r county, which b also democratic, we
have the poorest court house in east
ern and or central Nebraska. Have
we aay fine expensive bridges or mac
adamized roads? 'Not any. It is true
we have a good bridge over the Loup
but that was not built at the county's
expense, but by Columbus and Colum
bus township. Much of the money
raised annually, say by taxation, is
wasted we do not say by dishonest
omcial8, but by inefficient officials.
For instance, some years ago an at
tempt was made to rob the Platte
Center bank. Itwasa bungling at
tempt made in broad daylight, and
the robber was easUv captured. When
it was brought to trial about one
witnesses were summoned. Four or
five witnesses were all that were nec
essary, and all that were actually
called to testify, but all those sum
moned -collected their mileage and
per diem from the county.- Other
eases could be cited but this illustra
tes the point Tax payers, stand up
foryour own interests and vote for
M cElfresh for county attorney.
THE FIGHT FOB THE SENATE
The fight for the control of the
legislature is on in earnest The elec
tion of a republican governor is a for
gone conclusion, as is the election of a
republican house but the senate is not
so sure. The fushionists are straining
every nerve to elect democratic sena
tors in order to block all legislation
that aught emanate from the house
to ragulate freight rates or protect the
weople from corporate greed.
In the person of the Judge Saund
ers, republican candidate for the san-
ato kt this district, we have a

was imperiled by the vile machine
tionsofthe demscratic party, should
end his nmeket and marched with the
beys in bine; a man who risked his
life that the nation might lire. He
is an old resident of Colfax county
and will he remembered by many old
settlers as an honorable and upright
citisen. He stands today as a candi
date for the senate. He never sought
the position but being chosen and be
lieving it a duty to respond to the
call of his political party has con
sented to make the race. Does he
deserve everv republican vote in the
district? Does he deserve the vote of
everv man that believes in the present
administration? He surely does.
Schuyler Son.
A vote forjudge T. Saunders, W.
F. Prowett and Ed. Luechen next Tu
esday will be a vote for Norris Brown
for United States Senator.
Brother Howard of the Telegram
delights jn representing the republi
can party as the especial friend and
champion of2 the railroads, and the
democratic party as the especial friend
and champion of the farmer; and the
farmer he pictures as a poor and down
trodden, with the railroads holding a
rope twisted around the poor farmer's
neck. We are pleased to say that as
a matter of fact no class of people are
today as prosperous and more inde
pendent than onr Nebraska farmers.
This f phenominal prosperity of our
numersisdue to their own tireless
work and energy, the assistance of
kind providence and the wise and
economical laws and legistlatkwf of
our republican leaders. Brother
Howard forgets to say that no time
were the railroads of Nebraska as
sessed lower or as low as they were
during'the years that the democrats
and populists did the assessing. He
also forgets to state that the republi
can board has assessed the railroads
so high that they have appealed to the
courts, declaring their taxes were too
excessive, disproportionate, confiscat
ing, etc. We have no hesitancy in
saying that we consider these assess
ments fair and just, and have no
shadow of a doubt but what our
courts will not only make the rail
roads pay these taxes but will penal
ize them twelve per cent on top of it
We, with all other republican editors,
condemn the railroad companies for
delaying the payment of their just
taxes, but we feel absolutely certain
that eventually all these taxes will be
collected and that it will be done
through, the efforts of our republican
officials, and not through grand stand
players to the galleries.
It is more profitable to reduce
freight rates by voting the republican
ticket than to spend election day in
the corn field.
TROUBLE AHEAD FOB WEEMS-
NOT A BE8IDENT OF NANCE
COUNTY.
It now appears that the democrats
have nominated a man for float repre
sentative who is not a resident of the
district, but whose legal residence is
Lincoln, Lancaster county, Nebraska,
where his family now lives. Much
surprise was manifested when this
fact became known and was given
publicity. Mr. Weenie himself has
practically admitted that he is not a
resident of this county. When the
precinct assessor called on him last
spring, during one of Mr. Weems vis
ite to his former home to look after
his business interests, it is alleged, he
declined to list his personal property
for assessment here as he was not a
resident of the county but lived in
Lancaster county, where he had al
ready been assessed.
Mr.-Weems stated the truth. He
was assessed in Lancaster county, and
in order to verify his statement the
republican representative committee
wrote to the assessor of Lancaeter
county and secured a copy of the
statement sworn to by Mr. Weems at
the time the assessment was made.
According to this statement he is a
poor man, as the figures below-indi-
Household goods $100
Piano M 200
Sewing machine 15
Other personal property 10
Total $325
According to the above statement,
the tax on all the personal property
owned by Mr. Weems is less than four
dollars.
It is known that Mr. Weems is com
paratively a rich man; that he owns
horses, cattle, and is known to have
money on deposit in banks and owns
other property subject to taxation, yet
he will pay into the treasury of Lan-
county less than four dollars in
. Redaction of freight rates will in
cream tiw value of crops and the land
on which the crops are raised.

WILLIAM F. PROWETT.
William F. Prowett was born of
Scottish parents, at Portsmouth, Eng
gland, March 24th, 1860. He was
educated with the view of entering the
medical profession, but finding it ne
cessary to devote at least four years
in the hospitals before a diploma could
be obtained, he turned his attention to
other fields and spent two years in
Scotland learning sheep farming, and
in the spring of 1880 moved to this
country with his parents, settling on
Cottonwood Creek in Nance county,
where he resided and farmed until
five years ago when he was nominat
ed and elected to the office of county
treasurer on the republican ticket
overcoming a majority of two hundred
against him, and adding one hundred
and sixteen to his own. He was re
elected in 1903 'by nearly four hun
dred majority.
Mr. Prowett was formerly a demo
crat, but in 1896 being disgusted with
the party's platform for Free Silver,
etc., he affiliated with the republican
party, since which time no man can
justly accuse him of disloyalty to it,
and his record as a county officer is
an open book.
THE SEASON WHY.
Liacola CoRwpaadeat.
In 1900 the fusionists at the state
house assessed the Nebraska railroads
and Pullman Car company at $26,
442,249. The republicans coming into power
in 1901, raised this fusion assessment
$115,000.
In 1902 the republican board made
another raise of $217,000.
Li 1903 the republicans raised the
assessment $510,000 more.
In 1904 they raised it $18,893,000
more.
In 1905 they raised it $1,212,000
more. -
In 1906 they raised it $421,000,
making a total raise in the railroad
assessment for the six years of 80 per
cent more than the fusion assessment
of 1900.
The fusionists in four years raised
the assessment of these corporations
$964,000, while the republican raised
the assessment in six years $21,368,
701. The Union Pacific and Burlington
refused to pay under the 1904 assem-
ment, claiming it was too high, but
instead of 'receding' the republican
board advanced the assessment .still
higher in 1905. Again these roads
refused to pay and again the republi
can board advanced the assessment in
1906.
This the record of republican offi
cials as to railroad assessments.
While the railoads are resisting the
payment of taxes levied against them
it is not strange that they are also
resisting the election or reelection of
republican state officials responsible
for the increased assessment and the
promotion to the United State senate
of the attorney general who has suc
cessfully prosecuted the suits for en
forced collection.
The auditor's reports show that for
four years' 1897-1900, the fusionists
paid to the state treasurer $195,947.79
fees earned by the several depart
ments, while the republicans for 1901
to 1904 turned in the sum of $348,
917.46, and during the last twenty
two months the fees amounted to $282
096.90. Compare the records.
OPEN LETTER,
Genoa, Neb., Ocr. 29, 1906.
Columbus, Journal,
Columbus, Neb.,
Dear Sir I see through the Colum
bus Tribune dated Oct 24, 1906, that
my name is being brought before the
voters of Walker and St Bernard
townships in regard to Supervisor
John Swanson's record on the county
board, relative to the illegal salary
drawn by certain, members of the
county board, by stating that John
Swanson was practically forced by me
and others to introduce a resolution
asking that these members return to
the county any money drawn over the
amount allowed by law. This I brand
as a falsehood, and as a member of
the county board at that time can
positively say that it was his own vol
untary act and without being urg
ed to do so by me, and will further
state that he was the main mover in
the whole proceedings, and I also
wish to add that any officer who tries
to uphold the law deserves the support
of his constituents.
Respectfully,
Frank Kiernan.

Why Adulterated
Paint is Dear
A maker of adulterated
white lead sneered "Why
should paint be pure? No
one eats it."
True, but when white
lead is adulterated with
barytes, sublimed lead,
gypsum, whiting, etc., it
loses the qualities which
make pure white lead the
best paint pigment.
And when these imita
tions are sold as white lead,
the consumer is deceived
into payingwhite lead prices
for worthless substitutes.
