Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-06-19

The Sargent Leader IL Not Republican.

Bro. Wiseley's article refuting
the charge of the Loup County
News, in which the News
charges Mr.. Wisely with running
a socialist and republican paper
at Sargent, is highly gratifying
to the republicans of the vicinity
of Sargent, as well as the re-
publican press of Custer county.
We now see we were laboring
under a mistaken notion all this
while. We were aware that the
Leader for several months had
not given forth any evidence of
being republican. But as we had
not seen an announcement to the
contrary, since Mr.. Wisely pur-
chased the Leader, we had sup
posed it was yet republican.
He then stated it would con-

I'm The Sixth District

The nomination of Moses p.
Kinkaid as the republican candi-
date for congress in the Sixth
Nebraska district ought to in
sure the redemption of that dis
trict to the republicans in the
next national house of represent
atives. Judge Kinkaid went in
to the nominating convention as
the leading candidate and held
his strength without diminution
through 176 ballots and won out
by the steadfastness of his sup
porters. Having twice made the
race under adverse conditions, 1t
was no more than fair that he
should be made the candidate
again, when everything points

tinue the same political policy as
it had formerly.
Mr.. Wisely now says: II do
not publish republican paper in
Sargent. am publishing . a So
ciallst paper and also a non-par-
tisan. Never since l became ed
itor of the Sargent Leader has it
advocated republican principles,
defended the republican party or
supported republican candidates.
y / have said hundred
words against the republican and
democratic parties, where l have
said one against the populist."
Bro. Wisely is to be compli-
mented for his honest confession.
We had been thinking that way
for some time. Since Bro. Wise
ly frankly declares that the Lea
der is not republican paper
there should be nothing farther
in the way of the republicans of
Sargent and vicinity to prevent
them from taking such steps as
may be necessary to secure for
Sargent a paper that is republi-
can in politics. Every town,
where republicans are in the ma
jority, can and should shave an
organ that will stand up for the
principles they advocate. Do
this and it will enable Bro. Wise
ly to consolidate his socialist and
non-partisan paper. A CONSOLE
dation of the two would serve
Bro. Wisely's purpose fully as
well and bring, in equally as much
business as the two do now.

true we elected the county super
intendent by $50 majority, it,
must also be remembered that
the populist sheriff was elected
by 40. The vote on the supreme
judge is probably the nearest the
party vote .of any of the candi-
dates. That gave the republic
can candidate majority of 125.
Custer county has about 2h
times more votes than Valley.
Should the fusionists nominate
one of their most popular men in
Custer county for their candidate
his personal acquaintance at
home would overcome the 125.
majority in this county and give
him a balance of 100 votes to
his credit from valley county.
The only safe way is for the
republicans to "Ablde IN the
Ship" through another voyage
at least. We have heard of no
candidate in Custer county for
the place and we have no per-
sonal axe to grind. But our adj
vice would be to select from Gus
ter county someone who is known
and stands well with the public.
One who stands for principle and
is in no sense of the word a ma
chine politician, One that is not
a professional office seeker. We
believe such man can carry
Custer. county with a large
enough majority TO overcome the
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-06-19
"Abide In the Ship"

Paul's advice to the Centurian
on their voyage to Italy appears
to us is applicable in the matter
of the senatorial nomination in
this district this fall.
The opinion has generally pre-
vailed both in Custer and Valley
counties, that in case Senator
Currie was not candidate for
denomination that Valley county
was entitled to the candidate for
the senate this year from this
district.
To the question of political
courtesy and right we heartily
approve. But we question

risen since in competition aud
many have failed to keep up with
the procession. From the kind
treatment which has ever been
accorded us, and the liberal pat
ronage of the business men of
the city, we feel encouraged to
renew the prediction of the pa
per in its first number, THAT
the REPUBLICAN will live and is
here to stay" Personally, we
have had our financial reverses,
but physically we have continued
to improve. Our avoirdupois
has increased from 40 pounds in
the past twelve years to 1876.
Politically, for decade for
tune was against us; but for the
past five years conditions have
been more favorable. Political
ly and financially, as well as
physically, there has been a
steady gain, and we are pleased
to note that we are able to pro-
vide three meals a day for our
family and enjoy the association
of the best society the commun-
ity affords. We have a large
number of patrons, who have
been patrons of the REPUBLICAN,
all these years, having subscrib-
ed for the first number. Others,
who have joined our happy FAM

manliness in all his walks. He
has that diplomacy and presist-
ency in his make up that will
make him a successful worker in
national lie gislation. Two years
ago he carried Custer county by
"a majority, when Bryan carried
the county over Mckinley by IL.
We predict for him $50 to 200
majority in Custer county next
November.

whether it would be political
wisdom.
The republicans of Valley
county as well as the republicans
of Custer county have no desire
to enter into an arrangement
that will defeat the party ends.
The republican convention in
Valley county endorsed M. L.
Fries of Arcadia, for the state
senate. Probably no better man
for the position in either of the
four counties of the district could
be selected. We believe Mr..
Fries to be eminently qualified
and worthy of the high honor. He
has. been a loyal republican all
these years and a faithful worker.
His location being near Custer
county line, no doubt, gives him
"a wider acquaintance in Custer
county than any other Valley
county man has, which would be
to his credit were he the cam
didate.
But there is question whether
any republican can win the race
this fall. Valley county can be
put down with 100 majority
against us. The republican. ma
jority last fall on county officers
in Custer county ran as
low as 29.> While it is

100 opposition in Valley county
against the best man in the pop
ranks. But no man outside of
Custer county can do it. There
is always a certain local pride in
any county that knows no politi-
cal bonds. That element is pro-
portionately large in Custer coun-
ty. 1t is an unsafe quantity to
count on when the margin is
small. If both candidates are
from Custer county that obstacle
will be removed. When it is safe
to do so we are in favor of the
other counties having their turn.
But we feel now is not the time.
Old Custer is the ship that has
carried us safely into port in the
past and we are of the opinion
that except Valley county con-

While we did not help to nom
mate Judge Kinkaid, but urged
the nomination of Senator Currie
instead, we have no hesitancy in
giving him our loyal support for
the high position to which he
aspires. We think in Custer
county, if not in others, Mr.,
Currie would have been the
stronger candidate. But in his
old judicial district the Judge is
very popular, and is doubtless
stronger than any other man that
could have been selected in that
territory. For twelve years he
was district judge, and was elect
ed twice to that position when
the district had majority of
populist. While he is not a
fluent speaker he is regarded as
able. He bears a high reputa-
ton for honesty, sobriety and
