Republican County Ticket
For Clerk of the District Court, . .C. M. Gruenther.
For County Treasurer, Daniel Schram.
For Sheriff, John R. Lueschen.
For County Judge, T. DeWitt Robison.
For County Clerk John Hayes.
For County Superintendent, Gideon Braun.
For County Surveyor, . . . .' F. W. Edwadrs.
The above is the personnel of the republican county
ticket as it will appear on the official ballots at the gen
eral election to be held on November 7. In some way
the report had gone abroad that some of the candidates
would not make the campaign, but they have all decided
to go into the campaign, and from now until the election
an effort will be made to show the people of Platte
county why they should make a change in their county
offices, and place some of the hungry gentlmen who have
become accustomed to feeding at the public crib into
berths of their own and permit them to earn their living
at some other and perhaps more private enterprise.
The gentlemen whose names appear at the head of
this column are not strangers to the people of the county,
and the only men who have ever held county offices are
Mr. Gruenther and Mr. Robison. Mr. Gruenther ran
a tie race with E. H. TifTnay, and when the lots were
cast, as provided by law, the fates favored him, and he
became the nominee of the republicans as well as of the
democrats.
Judge Robison served as county judge from 1898
to 1902, when he was succeeded by Judge Ratterman,
who has held the position since, and is now a candidate
for the sixth term. Robison was one of the candidates for
the democratic nomination, and received about one third
of the vote cast against the present county judge, who,
however received but forty per cent of the strength of
his party as shown by his primary. Judge Robison be
lieves, as do many others, that Judge Ratterman should
relinquish he place the has held so long and if they are
he will receive one of the largest majorities ever receiv
ed in the county. He has put it squareyj up to the de
mocrats to show whether they are sincere or not.
Daniel Schram the candidate for county treasurer is
one of the really strong business men of the county hav
ing been for nearly a quarter of a century connected with
the Commercial National bank of this city during nearly
all of this time he has been cashier of the institution. Mr.
Schram possesses the absolute confidence of the peeple of
the county and is thoruoghly familiar with the details of
financial conditions as would be required in the conduct
of the office to which he aspires.
John R. Lueschen is a strong man to make the race
for the office of sheriff. Four years ago he was a candi
date for county assessor and came within less than 'three
hundred votes of being elected against one of the strong
est combinatons ever put up in Platte county politics.
Before deciding to accept the nomination he has carefully
sought the opinion of the public as to the degree of sat
isfaction felt by the people regading the present admin
istration of the office. On his investigation he has re
ceived much encouragement, and finally decided that he
has a good chance. '
For county clerk Jinn Hayes is the republican candi
date against John Graf. Mr. Hayes is a young man and
is thoroughly capable of filling the position to which he
aspires. We will have more to say about him later.
Gideon Braun will make an ideal superintendent of
the public schools. We do not mean by this that he will
attempt to apply conditions that are ideal in theory with
out a thought as to their practical application, but that
he will study the idea from its practical as well as its
ethical view point, and if it appears good, then apply it.
It has been twenty-two years since Platte county
elected a county surveyor, Richard L. Rossiter having
been elected in 1889, and continuously every who years
since that time. But Mr. Rossiter has recently moved
to Omaha, which makes him ineligible for election to a
Platte county office, and there fore the republicans are
asking for the election of F. W.Edwards of Lindsay to
that position. We do not know at this time whether
Mr. Edwards will have any opposition or not, as none as
as yet shown itself upon the surface.
Now Mr. Voter, there you have it. There is the
republican county ticket in its entirety. The election -in
Platte county this fall is not a question of politics, but
rather of whether the people of the county are satisfied
to retain in their employ the same men who have man
aged and manipulated their political affairs for so many
years; whether they will assert their rights as Ameri
can citizens, or whether they are content to lie supinely
down and permit a handful of professional politicians to
continue to munch at the public crib.
Mail Order Versus Home Trade.
Did you ever stop to consider the reason why so many
people turn down their home merchants and send so much
of their money away to some corporation who never
heard of them before and (never cares to hear from them
again, except with a remittane? Take up almost
any farm pe&per and the reason becomes plain.
For instance, in three farm journals last week, ap
peared 318 inches of mail order advertising, appealing
to the farmers; of this amount one great farm paper,
published in Des Moines had nearly 200 inches.
It is j ust this kind of advertising, coupled with the
laxity of the same kind of enterprise by the home mer
chants that has built up the mail order business in this
country.
In proof of this last statement let us refer to one
thing that has been done in Columbus territory within
the last three months. A group of men scoured the
territory tributary to Columbus, and we suppose other
surrounding towns, with an inferior make of stove, which
was sold at a price far above that charged by the dealers
for standard stoves. The men who bought these wagon
peddled stoves are for the most part are in the habit of
buying their other merchandise from the big mail order
houses. A large portion of this, undoubtedly, was be
cause the foreigner told about his merchandise, while the
home merchant did not.

Governor Alarich attended the conference of govern
ors in New Jersey last week, and while there took oc
casion to severely criticise Judge Sanborn, in particular,
and other federal judges in general about their arbitrary
methods of overthrowing state laws affecting various
corporations. Good for Governor Aldrich. The people
themselves ought to be considered capable of self-government,
and when their state laws are not compatible
with their own welfare, it will be soon enough for any in
idual, whether judge or layman, to set aside their own
laws, made to apply to their own respectitive ststes.
Mike Harrington seems to have made good in his
threat to not support Harman, if he should receive the
democratic nomination for railway commissioner. In a
statement issued a few days ago, he showed very plainly
that he meant just what he said, and has thus placed
himself in about the same position as was a certain de
mocrat of Columbus about a year ago out of grace with
the political leaders of his party but at peace with his
own conscience. The World-Herald, in commenting on
the resut of the primary, has this to say :
Mr . Harman owes his nomination not to the"
alleged support of railroad and liquor interests,
but to the resentment that was born in the
breasts of thousands of good democrats because
of what they regarded as an unjustifiable at
tack upon him by the chairman of the party
convention.
That sounds suspiciously like some campaign dope
that was handed out a year ago, by the World-Herald,
but which there are many Nebraska people who still fail
to see the logic. Mr. Harrington appears to be right,
but perhaps a little late in getting to his proper place.
The state central committee of the republcians held
a meeting at Omaha last evening, and decided to have a
meeting of the chairmen of the several counties in the
third district at Norfolk, next Monday" evening to de
cide on some manner of selecting a candiuate for the seat
in congress made vacant by the recent death of Congress
man Latta. The democrats will hold a congressional
convention at Norfolk Tuesday.

recently about food adulterations, and who has been
roundly condemned for his stand, has been upheld by.
President Taft. Secretary Wilson, sometime ago rec
ommended that Dr. Wiley be dismissed from the service,
but Mr. Taft, after reviewing the evidence and the facts,
has decided to keep him in the service.
The Ionesomest Mad of a lonesomen
Is not In the forest dark
Where the falling; leaves have a looelr
look
And the trees stand sere and stark;
'Tls not on the ocean, wide and blue.
With never a hailing hark.
The lonesomeat kind of a lonesomeness
Is not In the forest brown
Nor yet In the mountain fastnesses.
But here In the heart of town
Where men and women on every side
All day go up and down.
Where never a friendly face you see
Through all of the while so drear.
Where never a hand Is reached to you
And none gives a word of cheer.
Where each Is a stranger whom yo
lonesomeness Is here.
