NELIGH. Neb., Oct. 10.-(8pee!aJ Tele
gram.) The republicans held a rousing
meeting here tonight, tha court house hall
being totally Inadequate to hold the crowd.
Judge N. D. Jackson presided.
George L Sheldon was greeted with great
applause aa he came forward. Mr. Sheldon
spoke at length upon the t-ent passenger
fare, the maximum freight rate law and
discriminations in freight rates- In Ne
braska. Ha pointed out strongly the dif
ference between the democratic policy,
which offers no definite method of correct
ing the evils of unjust rates and discrimina
tions, and the republican policy which
stands for the enactment of laws which
can be enforced to correct the abuses and
does not stand for the enforcement of ob
solete laws which everyone knows cannot
be enforced. Mr. Sheldon said In part:
"It Is generally conceded that freight and
passenger rates In Nebraska are unreason
ably high: I bellera they are. The rate on
wheat from Nellgh 'to Omaha Is 15.8 rents
per 100 pounds. The distance Is 15S miles.
The rate on wheat In Minnesota for 160
miles Is 10 cents per 100 pounds and In Iowa
(.163 cents. It costs 6.87 cents more to
move 100 pounds of wheat from Nellgh to
Omaha than It does to move a like amount
the same distance In Iowa. I want the
railroads to explain why It Is that It Is
necessary to charge 60 per cent more to
move a carload of Wheat In Nebraska than
In Iowa." Taking up the freight rates on
corn he showed that at present It takes
eighteen acres out of every 100 to pay the
freight on corn from Nellgh to Omaha.
Railroad Rates at Par.
In closing, Mr. Sheldon said Nebraska
cannot regulate rates outside of the state,
but it can fix reasonable rates within tha
state, and it certainly should do It. At
present there Is no law in force and none
that can be enforced that gives tha citizen
of this state any relief from outrageous
and unreasonable railroad rates, fares and
charges. It Is the duty of the state to pro
vide a remedy so that when Its cltlsens are
Imposed upon they can get relief. What
we want In Nebraska Is railroad rates at
par. The republican party 1b pledged all
along the line to carry out the principle
of the stata exercising tha right which It
has to guarantee to Its citlxens reasonable
railroad rates, fares and charges.
Edward W. Magi made a brief speech,
aaying that two years ago he supported
George W. Berge, but that this year ha
was supporting George L. Sheldon, be
cause he was still a believer In the samo
principles hs advocated two yeara ago and
that ha swed more to principle than he
did to any party organisation for the
specific purpose of a political party victory.
Senator Burkett, who closed the pro
gram, was reoeived with great enthus
iasm. He apoke on national questions In
the main, but urged tha election of tha
entire state and national ticket in order
that the principles of Roosevelt and tho
republican party might be carried out.
He referred to George L. Sheldon In a
very complimentary , manner, citing his
put conduct In public Ufa and saying
that his election meant the carrying out
of a definite policy in the correction of
existing abuses. . ,,-t ., ,
Rnrkett tnt .Leigh.
LEIGH. Neb., Oot. -10. (Special.) The
campaign was opened hers last evening.
Senator Elmer J; Burkett was tha principal
speker and made one of tha best addresses
ever heard In Leigh. ' On account of the
sudden change In the Weather, the crowd
was not as large as was expected, but
every one preaent was a good listener and
the logical speech had good effect.
Although not advertised. Judge J. F.
Boyd, republican candidate for congress
from the Third district, waa present and
made a few remarks, and among other
things touched upon the pass question,
which is claiming the attention of tha
press. Judge Boyd took the people Into
his confidence In the matter, and defined
his position like a gentleman, and tha ex
planation seemed to satisfy the voters.
Sixteen years ago Senator Burkett was
principal of the Leigh public school for a
term of two years. There are atlll a few
of his old neighbors here, with whom he
especially enjoys to visit. He is spending
the forenoon with them and tonight will
speak at Humphrey.

to thv Farmers' Business congress
to be held In this city Monday. October 2,
James Butler, the promoter of the propo
sition, says:
','Tha Indications are that the Farmers'
Co-operative Business congress will be
largely attended. I have received letters
from twenty-nve states and every one of
them Intends to have representation. A
number of the states will probably have
over 1(0 delegates
"In the grain growing states, judging
from the papers and letters received, there
Is a strong sentiment that the farmers'
elevator people should meet and fix a reas
onable price on wheat and other grain.
They consider the price of wheat entirely
too low compared to th price of other
commodities. Farmers seem more and more
determined to have something to say In
fixing the price on what they have to sell.
Whether definite action will be taken at
this congrers I am unable to say, but it
looks now very much like there wouM be
a strong determination to fix a price on
wheat.
"Yes. I am confident that If the 700 or
800 farmers' elevators in the wheat belt
will take definite action demanding 6 cents
per bushel Increase over present prices, that
they would get It. Of course, 800 elevators
could not control the market, but the fact
that that many elevators had taken action
would Induce farmers all over the wheat
belt to demand the fixed price. Farmera
are able to hold, and thla would simply
mean that they would get the price or not

from Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska.
Texas, Arkansas, Minnesota, Georgia and
Alabama, In about the order named. The
other states will not have such large dele
gations. Co-oporntlon with Lnnor Tnlons.
"In the call for this congress I did not
say anything about making It permanent,
but there seems to be a unanimous sen
timent favoring a permanent organisation.
It is the first meeting of tha kind ever
called in the United States and I am
Pnow assured that ws will have many of
the ablest speakers In the cotton belt, as
well as the grain and live stock district
present. Another feature that has lately
developed In the growth of tha organisa
tion la the establishment of union ex
changes In the large labor centers whlcn
will enable the farmers' union to unite
with the labor unlona In establishing
exchanges that will place the products
of the farm directly In tha hands of union
labor consumers at tha cost of handling.
These exchanges will be owned by and
controlled by th union farmers and union
labor organisations In ths cities, thus
furnishing a well organised, systematic
direct market for tha farmers' products
and at the sains time enabling union labor
to buy these products at reasonable prices.
The sentiment is growing In tha labor
centera among labor union people to buy
direct union labeled good from tha farmer
and the aame sentiment is growing rapidly
among farmers to buy union labeled goods
when making their purchases.

for selecting delegatea has not yet ar

delegatea was on October's.
