even if this were done your city would
not be benefited, since the works have

to reinvest and the National Starch

to wait until after election day before

Messrs. John w. Steinhart, L. Vessel,
H. Y. Birkby, L. Enyart, w. S.
Cornutt, o. N. Nelson, N. S. Har-
ding, @. N. Karstens and others:
Gentlemen: Yours of the 18th re.
ceived. Until attacked by the attorney
general of Nebraska in the state
supreme court, and by that officer and
Mr.. Bryan at public meeting in Ne
braska City, on September Seth., the
officers of the National Starch Co.,
owner of the Argo factory, had no
thought of closing the plant permanent
ly; on the contrary, plans had been pre-.
pared for enlargement of the works,
supplementing extensive improvements
which were made during the past sum-
mer.
Now the questions which confront the
company are:
First. Can your state officials, or
their successors in Office, confscate it's
Nebraska City factory either by litiga-
tion or legislation?
Second. Are the people of Nebraska
City in sympathy with the action of the
attorney general who has filed petition
in the state supreme court as follows:
Wherefore the plaintiff prays that
the agreement by which the Argo Man
ufacturing company sold and transferred
all it's property and rights as aforesaid
to the United Starch Co., and the deed
of conveyance to said United Starch 90.
from the said Argo Manufacturing Co., :,

property and rights, with the right of

turing Co."
The records of Otoe county show that
in the summer of 1899 the property of
the Argo Manufacturing Go. was law
fully transferred by deed to the United
Starch Co., without protest from your
attorney general, and those citizens
of Nebraska City who were stockholders
in the Argo company may be called into
court to testify as to whether or not they
received cash or "trust" certificates for
their share of the proceeds Of this sale.
The United Starch Company owned and
operated the plant until August 1st,
1900, when. by deed, also duly recorded
without objection on the part of your
attorney general, it was transferred to

sent owner, and has been since date Of

STAND UP FOR NEBRASKA CITY.


The farmers of Otoe county will cer-
tainly uphold, by their ballots, Nebraska
City. the best corn market in the state.
The cereal mills and the Argo starch
factory have paid tens of thousands of
dollars to farmers for corn and oats in
Nebraska City, month after month and
year after year. Every vote favoring
fusion candidates and their political
doctrines assaults these interpretations
and aids in the Bryan and Smyth attempt
to destroy Nebraska City as manu-
featuring center and grain market.
The following letters-purely non
partisan-from tax payers to tax payers
explain themselves. Read, reflect, re-
solve and vote
NEBRASKA CITY, NEB., Oct. Is, 1900.
Mr. Joy MORTON,
I. @. PIER No. 1,
CHICAGO, ILL.
DEAR SIR AS citizens and taxpay-
ers, vitality interested in the prosperity
and continued growth of Nebraska City,
we are very solicitous for the contin
uance and enlargement of the starch
works, the cereal mills, the packing
houses and the cannery, and likewise
anxious to secure other industrial plants
at this point. Recently, however, it has
been rumored that you and your friends
who control the National Starch Co.,
contemplated shutting up the Argo fac
tory and ceasing to make starch at this
place. Some have even intimated that
the recent suit brought against your
concern with the intention of closing it
and destroying that much market for
corn at Nebraska City and putting out
of employment between 200 and 300
people, was brought about at your in
stance, so as to give an excuse, if
one was needed, for drying up the
manufacture of starch at this place. OF
course we do not believe any such wild
and unreasonable yarns.
Nevertheless, we write to ask you
frankly whether you think it may be
made profitable to continue the Argo
starch factory in full operation at Ne
braska City and to enlarge it's capacity
to, say, 1000 bushels of corn per day.
We understand perfectly well that your
company never asked or received any
subsidies. We know that the company
has conducted it's business in legiti-
mate, fair-minded and perfectly satis-
factory manner. We know that it's en-
ployees are attached to it. We know
that they have been well paid. We
realize that the perpetuation of starch
manufacture at Nebraska City and the
enlargement of the capacity of the fac
tory would be a great benefit to all of
our people, and therefore we ask you to
