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
