Juvil U lT3 IT FEARS TO -COMPETE WITH US SEE THE POINT rfi o T7 n ill TTTitl HT1 i TT7 tie 11 Ifflnng . - MaJies me k laomie 11 tmi 11' c&jp Uu' V U j ,j .Ely (0) COMPETITIIO The Public likes COMPETITION. In Sioux City the Independent franchise received 1,691 votes for and 83 against. In South Omaha and Council B '.tiffs 'the votes for Independent phones carried 3 to 1 and the Bell people put up the fight of their lives. In Portland the Independent franchise carried by 13,213 votes for and only 560 against. Even the trust employes would not vote against COMPETITION. There are now more, than 2,000,000 Independent phones in use in the United States and only 1,800,000 Bell phones. The Independents have beaten the trust by fair COMPETITION wherever they have met it. IF THE NEBRASKA TELEPHONE COMPANY DOES NOT FEAR US, WHY DOES IT SHRIEK SO LOUD! YOU KNOW-IT IS BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE TO LOWER ITS RATES. Telephone rates are too high in Omaha. Isn't it time to call a halt! " The trust is spending money in this campaign like water. IT THINKS IT WILL CHARGE IT UP TO YOU. Do you like the prospect t We expect the biggest majority in Omaha that was ever given a franchise, WhyT BECAUSE THE PHONE TRUST HAS BLED THE PEOPLE WITHOUT MERCY. The best argument for our franchise is the bill you get every month for being con nected with only 10,000 in a city of 140,000. COMPETITION will, make even the trust put more phones on its exchange, so when you rent a phone you can talk to more people. In every city where there is COMPETITION the Independ ents have more phones than the trust. WhyT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PHONE THE PEOPLE LIKE, ON ACCOUNT OF REASONABLE RATES AND GOOD SERVICE. The trust lias used the same arguments here that it has used everywhere' else. They don 't seem to convince the public. On election day the voter remembers that COMPETITION is a good thing and that phone rates are too high. Once the Independent gets in the people esteem it highly. In Lincoln before COMPETITION the Bell had 2,200 phones. The Independent company built in 1004 and now have 4,000 phones, the Bell 2,800. Now you can get both phones for $6.00 per month and talk to 6,800 subscribers. Before COMPETITION the Bell charged $6.00 to talk with 2,200 suUcribers. In many towns in Nebraska the Bell are furnishing service at 50c and 75c per month. Wherever they have had COMPETI TION they have been forced to materially reduce rates. Who is paying for the Ball's cheap service out in the state? You know. THE OMAHA SUBSCRIBER. ' Here are some of the tilings we will do for Omaha: . Spend $2,000,000 IN THE CITY, give you a telephone that will Cut your phone bill 40,per cent and allow you to talk to South Omaha free. WE ARE PLEDGED NOT TO CHARGE A CENT FOR PHONES UNTIL WE GET 3,000 IN OPERATION. We are fair, just, and know you will like us. One thing about us is we are not afraid of the' trust. It fears us you know why. CAN YOU VOTE FOR A COWARDLY MONOPOLY THAT SHRINKS FROM FAIR PLAY WHEN THERE IS A CHANCE TO VOTE FOR COMPLETION AND THE BENEFITS IT BRINGS! . Do you want $2,000,000 spent in Omaha for labor and material? Of course you do. - Then vote YKS on the franchise next Tuesday WDE PEN DENT TELEPHONE COMPANY OF BmMiA tt IDSY NIGHT FOR THE BOYS rli Alio Had fUntj to Do Answering Calli All Otm t City.
