4 Some Sls;alflrant Remarks
Arc Made About the
Salary.
DAVID CITY. Neb., Oct. S.-Hon. B. F.
Good. Wahoo, Neb. Dear Sir: You will
recall that you, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Gilbert,
Mr. Main and myself were candidates be
fore the recent primary for the democratic
congressional nomination. You win also
recall that each of us were nuked by the
Anti-Saloon league how we stood on the
proposed Miller-Curtis Interstate liquor
traffic law. Messrs. Bailey, Gilbert, Mains
and myself Ignored the Inquiry. You,
alone, went personally to the headquarters
of the Antl-Paloon league In the city of
Lincoln, and what you there said or did
I do not know or care, as It Is Immaterial.
But as a result of that visit you were
classified by the Antl-Paloon league as
having; promised to support that measure,
and you were the 6nly democratic candi
date in the Fourth congressional district
so classified. This classification was pub
lished In the public dally press August 6,
1B10, eleven days before the primary, and
was the important matter discussed by the
democratic voters before the primary. You
were in the state the largest portion of
that time. The liberal democratic votes
were largely divided among Bailey, Gil
bert, Mains and myself. You, upon the
strength of this classification, received the
dry democratic votes and your nomination
followed.
Time Enaash to Aet.
After this publication eleven days
elapsed before the primary, so that you
had ample time to make known your true
position on Jhe Miller-Curtis bill before
the primary ' If you did not want to be
placed In a false attitude on the question.
However, I am credibly Informed that
you are now stating that the Miller-Curtis
bill is' unconstitutional, and for that reason
you will not support the same. I am also
Informed that you state to your audiences
that even if it was constitutional you
would not support it, for the reason that
if it became a law that churches in com
munitles where the law operattd could not
get wine for sacramental purposes.
Now, your position In this matter lnd
eates the double dealing ybu have pursued
for years" M politics, and did not stop you,
even if you had .to sacrifice wine for
sacramental purposes, to get the nomina
tion for congressman, because after noml
nation you would see that the wine was
forth-oomlng, as you are such an adept at
the presto change business you can readily
when necessary, turn water Into wine to
bring about you -election. But you are
also an adept in others. Last fall you were
a candidate for supreme judge. You said in
public, print for election purposes that you
absolutely refused to accept a pass during
your Incumbency upon the bench, and also
that you had been a pioneer in refusing to
accept a paasaccept railroad passes long
before such , reform measures were sug
gested, or before they became a law. Let
ua see; when you were first nominated
for Judge in this- district by a democratic
convention held in this city, the populists
also held a convention here on the same
date, ana selected a candidate for one
Judge. That convention endorsed you, but
before nominating a candidate or endorsing
you, they passed a resolution requiring that
whoever they nominated or endorsed.
should first pledge themselves to the con
vention that they would not ride on
pass. You went before that convention
and pledged thew you would not ride on a
pass, and you have always kept your
word and have never ridden on a pass,
and that la the reason when you had any
thing put in print or taked of, same, ypu
always used the word "pass." Now you
always had a reason for not publishing
or stating, that .you did not at any time
ride on free mileage. What was the res
son?
Salary While Canvassing.
And, too, was there any such thing as
anyone riding on passes that you had so
licited and obtained prior to the law pro
hlbltlng passes or free transportation T
Again, you are a judge, supposed to be
aloft from petty politics. Last year you
were a candidate for supreme Judge of this
state. During the months of July, August,
September and October, you were engaged
in the political field; and for those tour
months you drew from the treasury of this
state as district Judge of this judicial dls
trlct the sum of $1,000. Tell the voters
whether you spent one day's time during
those four months in which you rendered
any services for the money you received
from the taxpayers of this state?
Not satisfied with obtaining from the
state last year the 11,000 for which you
rendered no service for those four months,
you are again in the field for political pre
ferment, and will spend four months again,
trying to get office and receive from the
state tl.OOO more without rendering one
day's service for same, unless your extreme
timidity should get the better of you, or
else In a mode of deep thought over the
loss of wine for sacramental purposes, you
might have a passing thought of him for
whom the sacrament was held, and thereby
become conscience-smitten and let go of
one public seat before pouncing on another,

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 6. (Ppeclal.)
Joseph Plgman on behalf of the antl
dl vision! sts of Custer county has com
menced action In the district court for a
writ of mandamus to require the Board of
Supervisors to assemble and set aside the
order to submit the question of dividing
Custer county, and erecting therefrom tho
proposed new counties of Corn and Rose.
Only the petitions of these two named
proposed counties are questioned. The
plaintiff asks that he be permitted to offer
evidence that the said division petitions
have not been signed by a majority of the
iepal voters In the two counties named.
The action of the county board In grant
ing these petitions was somewhat unusual.
It Is alleged. When the northeast, or Corn
county petition came In Mr. Plgman filed
a request asking that the petition be laid
over for thirty days In order to give the
antl-dlvlslonlsts a chance to thoroughly ex
amine it. A tie vote was had on the
matter. Supervisors Morris, Ollmore Bnd
Grlnt voting to reject the Plgman request
while Supervisors Dewey, Cushman and
Foley voted to sustain the request. Su
pervisor Headley was absent. The follow
ing day the presence of Supervisor Headley
was secured and ho joined with the first
named supervisors in rejecting the Plgman
request. Chairman Morris then appointed
a committee consisting of Supervisors
Grint, Gllmore and Dewey to examine and
report on the petition. Supervisors Grlnt
and Gllmore submitted a majority report,
declaring that the petition was signed by
a majority of the legal voters of the pro
posed county, the said majority being
thirty-four. Supervisor Dewey submitted
a minority report, stating that he did not
believe that the petition had the required
number of signers and recommended that
the Plgman request "be granted.
Second Protest by Plgman.
At this point Joseph Plgman filed a sec
ond protest, declaring that the petition was
referred to the committee at 10:30 a. m., and
that the time which had elapsed from that
until the report of the committee which was
made on the afternoon of the same day,
was utterly insufficient for a reasonable
investigation to be made. Plgman further
rtated In his protest that the committee
of supervisors had taken no steps to ascer
tain the actual number of legal voters in
the' said territory, and that there had been
no evidence before the board to show the
same. The majority report granting the
petition was carried by a vote of four to
three. Supervisors Morris, Grlnt, Gllmore
and Headley, voting to order the election,
and Supervisors Dewey, Cushman and Foley
voting against It.
The southeast, or Rose county petition
was rushed through in practically the same
manner. The committee reported that the
petition had a majority of fifteen of the
legal voters in said proposed county. Mr.
fPlgman protested against the allowing of
this petition without proper Investigation
in much the same manner as before. A
vote was taken and the petition was
promptly granted, the same supervisors
voting for and against It as was done In
the granting of the Corn county petition.
Since this action of the board, these pe
titions have been thoroughly investigated
by people living In every township within
the proposed counties in question, and It is
said that both petitions are far short of
the necessary legal signers. Many names
appear on the petition twice and in one or
two cases, even three times and some gross
Irregularities, It is alleged, will bo brought
out when the matter la thoroughly sifted
In court
Antl-Dlvlslonlsta Charge Fraad.
In several division elections held In
Custer oounty, it has been known that the
petitions In one or more of the proposed
counties have been Illegal. Last year the
northeast petition was not a good one and
a few of the division leaders of that part
of the county were acquainted with this
fact. Owing to the tremendous volume of
work and the heavy expense Involved in
proving these facts, the question has been
anowea to go to a vote in years past, but
the work of the division ltaders In forcing
through their petition has become so bold
that the antl-dlvlaionlsts from all over
Custer county have not only requested, but
demanded that a stop be put to this kind
of work.
If the petitions are legal, there is no dis
position on the part of anybody In Broken
Bow, or any other part of Custer county,
to head off the election. The sentiment in
about three-fourths of Custer county is so
strong against division that It would be
utterly Impossible for the matter to even
come to a vote, if the division leaders who
circulate these petitions were compelled to
show an actual majority of the voters.
If the anti-dlvislonlBts of Custer county
do not prove beyond any question of doubt
that the petitions are rar short of a ma
jority of legal signers, there wllNJe no at'
tempt to head on the vote on tnu ques
tion at the coming election.

"No."
"If he says you did he ilea, does he."

"I would not say so,". said Mr. Browne.
"If I had been through what Mike Ink
went through and had been threatened In
the state's attorney's office as he waa
thrtattned. I might have fallen for It I
would not say ne lied."
Attorney Austin retorted: "You have put
men through those same ordeals, haven't
you?"
"No, never."
"Have you not browbeaten lawyers of less
physique than you until they shot at
you?"
"No, never," replied Browne.
Witness explained the question about be
ing shot at by sta'tlng that a man named
Conway of Ottawa, III., was the man re
ferred to by Attorney Austin. Conway, he
said, shot at a man, but it was not at
the witness.
Browne read into the record a letter
from Representative Link In which the
latter congratulated Browne on his recent,
acqultal of tha charge of bribeing Repre .
senttlve White. Llnnk, like Beckemeyei. ,
had testified to being bribed by Browne. ,
Touching on his relations with White,
the witness said that he helped White
draw up bills, and assisted htm In hi
legislative labors, because he saw tha.
White was deeply Interested In his work.

the witness, "and necessarily had few

"I was, and I waa not" answered 1
Browne, "I was elected minority leader,
but as I bad been really the leader, I coulu
have had all the democrats with me. When
I started out my faction numbered thirty
nine, but before the session closed, I hsd
lost two of them."
Browne said that he had heard no re
ports that White was trying to get money
for legislation and declared that he had
tried to help White get reinstated In his
previous job as street car conductor.
Another witness of the afternoon was
Thomas Curran, a republican legislator,
who testified in rebuttal of the testimony
of White. Curran said that White ap
proached him at Springfield and asked him
to hold out the women's 10-hour bill,
which was In the committee of which Cur
ran was chairman.
"White told me to hold out that bill, be
cause there might be something in it for
us," said the witness.
"Later White asked me if there was any
thing doing on the Lorimer election. I
told him that I did not know and observed
that he as a democrat ought to know If
there was anything doing.
"'Why do you askT 1 Inquired of him.
and he replied, '1 think there was and I
think Browne double-crossed us.' "
On cross-examination Curran said that
he though that If there was any money
used. White, as a democrat would know It.
The hearing will continue tomorrow with
Browne again on the stsnd.
