Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-07-03
Our Candidates.
( Sargent

With the exception of can
didate for the state senate the
republicans of Custer county have
their men selected and are ready
for the fray, that will not end
until the last vote cast on the
4th of next November is counted.
The state ticket is generally
conceded as an exceptionally
strong one. The candidate for
governor, ]. H. Mickey is one Of
the old settlers of the state who
has enhanced fortune by toll
and the exercise of good business
judgement. He is one of the
man whom the state is proud
because of his high christian
character and generosity. For
years he has been one of the
main financial props to the M.
E. church in this state, Young
Mems Christian Association and
the Wesleyan University. He
has not only contributed his
thousands to the larger enter
priseS of his denomination but
has been equally as Jealous in
helping those Of smaller concern.
1t is said that in many instances
where he has learned of small
struggling church organization be-
ing in straitend circumstances,
he has accompanied the Bishop
to the field and led in the con-
tributions to raise the debt. 1t
has only been about a year ago
he visited Broken Bow on a
similar mission and contributed
large towards lifting the debt on
the M. +. church building of this
place. When the Wesleyan
University was about to be fore
closed, on a debt of SIS, 900 few
years ago, ], II. Mickey became
personally responsible for the
debt and by his personal con-
tributions and executive ability
has seen most of the debt remov-
ed. He has never been a politi-
clan in the common acceptation of
the term, but secured the noni-
nation through his universal
popularity and personal worth.

raising Il NOW his Principal bpsi-
ness, yet he does considerable
farming He has four sections
of land enclosed in his ranch
which is stocked with $50 head
of cattle, besides has horses,
cattle and necessary farm
machinery, lie has always been
one Of the main spokes of his
party in the south west part of
the county and through the most
trying times was ever loyal TO
his political obligations and con-
victions. He enjoys the high
esteem Of the vicinity in which
he has 50 long resided. Like
Mr.. Copsey his interests are those
OF the stockman and farmer. He
is a man Of good judgement and
would fill the position to whic b
he aspires acceptably.
The ticket as a whole is ex.
ceptionally strong morally. in.
telectually and financially. 1t
is composed of men who from
nothing, have made their way If
the world and become fairly
prosperous, With such men the
interests Of the public and the
poor man especially would be
protected. We predict a hand.
some majority in Custer county
for the entire ticket.

"Fusion will win in Custer
county" says the Chief, in big
black letters. SO it has come to
this! That in Custer county,
which was once the banner
populist county of the nation,
they have to fuse with the DEM
ocrats in order to stand chance
of winning! Time after time
has the pop party of Caster
county sent delegations 10 the
state conventions protesting
against further fgsion with the
democrats. And no later than
last year a conference was held
at Broken Bow al VIII oh the mid
readers agreed to disband if the
other wing would forswear fusion
in future. They promised TO do
so, aud thus have they kept their
promise! Gentlemen Of the FL
sion party, your work IS too
coarse to be endorsed by the
rank and file of your party, who
in this county are now, as they
always have been, opposed to
fusion with the old parties.
The time is ripe FOR The forina-
ton OF the socialist party IN this
county--a parry which stands
unequivocally for the welfare Of
the wealth-producing classes, d
party which will not fuse for
spoils with any capitalist party
on earth. Calls for the county
and other conventions viii soon
appear. They will be mass con-
ventiors, i'll which all who are
opposed to the old parties and TO
fusion with them, and who ell
dorse the principles of socialism,
will be entitled to participate.
Down with capitalism! Down
with fusion! Down with schem-
ing politicians who will barter
their principles for a chance at
the pie-counter!-The New Era,
Sargent

necessary TO represent. such a
large district as this in congress,
his staying qualities are UNI
questioned. IF anyone doubts
this refer him to the Crawford
convention. His supporters at
the convention come in for sec
ond borors in staying qualities.
North Platte Tribune: While
Judge Kinkaid was not the
Tribune's choice for congress
man, it can support him most
heartily. The Judge is clean
able man and there is every rea-
son to believe that, though twice
defeated he will this year be
elected. Ia the Elkhorn country,
he is extremely popular with the
masses.

ton opposed to'fssion. Because
the state pops and denocra2s
arranged for fusion on the nom
inces, the pop delegates, true to
their profession, did not attend
the state convention, but were
represented by democrats from
Custer county. This year, the
pop convention did not only OPP
pose fusion, but conceded the
only place on the county ticket
this year to the democrats. How
the mighty have fallen!

from those on the other part.
They were a courageous and in
dustrious tribe who withstood
with noble heroism the demands
of Spanish oppression. The
Spanish church at this time had
forced by cruelty and death most
of the Island to submit to its
teachings and like it has done
elsewhere, eXacted tribute to the
priesthood. a relentless conflict
was waged between the church
and the tribe on the north east
ern spur. A decree had been
made that all MARI ges should
be solemized by the church, or
forbidden. But nature will
presist in spite of artificial
bounds, and love still went on
and brought the crisis which IS
the story in this letter. Ayoung
, couple without the church were
to married. Their people on the
eastern part of the island de-
manded their cermony and the
church demanded its. At length
a bloody struggle was at hand,
and the lovers with a faith and
sacrifice that even Spanish tyr
ranny admired, decided the issue
with their lives. North east of
Agana about five miles is
precipitous headland; from its
highest point it is nearly four
hundred feet straight down into
the Ocean. The young couple
had seen the ruin of their people
in battle, yet rather than sub
nit to religion they hated, they
stole away to this precipice and
| just before the struggle began,
they disclosed themselves to both
sides; then chanting their peoples
prayers they embraced and
plunged headlong into the sea.
Insipid love stories are detestable
but love, when linked with devo-
ton to a peoples faith and life,
is always admirable and even
part of the Worlds history, The
sublimity of deeds stands apart
and distinct from consequences,
and the grouping into story of
acts like this is of more worth to
mankind than the heartless
tragedies interviewer into the
biographies of the great and the
intrigres of nations. In no book
is the simple faith and love of a
people so truly and wounderuosly
told as in the Bible, and in this
respect it stands the tittest pat
tern for all time and history.
The story related is a part of this
islands history and the lesson is
worth the sacrifice. 1t is relief
amidst the soulless tyranny of

Had the pop convention of
Custer county dissolved the pop
organization and recommended
its former faithful but deluded
followers to cast its lot with the
democratic party, it would have
been more CONSTANT in the mind
of the public and retained fully
as many if not more votes for the
County and state ticket.

Lieutenant Governor we know
nothing except that he is III good

Markham arrived in Winona from st.
Paul few days ago with good sized
roll of bills He was around the resorts
of the city last night, and at one OF
them asked change for a $50 bill, which
he exhibited.

STATE PINE SALE
$1,000 a Thousand Feet Amazes All Elk

$1,000 a Thousand Feet Amazes All Ex-
perenced Lumbermen.
DULUTH, MINI. - A recent sale of
state pine in this district at $1,000 thou
sand feet was a record breaker. Lum-
bermen cannot understand how any buyer
can get out at that price:
Lumber shipments continue steadily,
though in smaller volume. There has
traffic. Another week or two will see the
latter over for the year. .~rgv .
A sale of a large lot Of Norway to be
cut next summer has been made by SWal-
low & Hopkins, from their Fall Lake mill.
It amounts to about 10000 feet and is
the entire Norway cut of the season.
They will make about as much white pine
which has not been: sold. A few other
sales have been made Of this falls cut and
Of stock to be put, IN, the latter mostly in
the form OF agreements to sell at the 60
ing price later But the market is quiet
and there is little to report just now.
The larbor mills will all be idle with the
closing down of Merrill & Ring. There is
some talk of winter saving and some con-
tracts have been closed. More mill own
ers are figuring but have not come to any
decision. Winter saving rates are as
they have been, $3.50 a thousand. The
cost of labor Is constantly on the rise.
Winter logging. which should be well
under way now, is seriously impeded by
the weather. The swamps are very full
of water and are not frozen hard enough
to bear man.
The Duluth & Northern Minnesota road
has ceased hauling In logs for a few days
while its tracks are ballasted. 1t has
bought seventy-flVe new logging cars.

Dance Hall Shooting Affair at Buhl-Mys-
terious Disappearance.

Dance Hall Shooting Affair at 1uhl-Mys-
FERROUS Disappearance.
DULUTH, MINN.-As a result of a
dance hall free-for- all fight near Bull, st.
Louis county probably has another murder
to it's discredit. Men in the dance hall
became involved in a fight, and James
Lula was shot. The bullet passed through
his body within few inches Of his heart.
A report is to the effect that all persons
implicated we're more or less Intoxicated,
and that the shooting was the result OF
bad whisky rather than bad feeling.
There seems to be an epidemic OF mys-
terious disappearance at the head OF the
lakes and the police fear the existence OF
a desperate gang Of robbers who belieye
in putting their victims out Of the way.
Half a dozen cases have been reported.
After drawing $500 from the bank, Walter
Ladell of West Superior, has dropped out
of sight. Clues, theories and logical de-
auctions lead to the belief that he lost
himself this side Of the bay. Ray Hall,
son Of a wealthy and prominent citizen
of Bay City, Mich, has also disappeared
from this city. Ladell is As years Of age,
has dark hair, dark eyes and dark brown
mustache.
The disappearance Of Ray Hall does
not arouse suspicion of foul play, out
nevertheless those interested In MS wei.
fare are much worried. He is only ~
wears old and comes from one OF the
most prominent families in M1ch1san'

Editor Bryan Reaches the Profound
Conclusion That His Party
81 Lacks Votes.
Masses, He Says, Are Qualified to
Select Leaders-Dilemma of
the Re-organizers.
Special to The Journal,


Lincoln. Neb.. Nov. 21.-'"rhe demo-
cratic party does not need leaders 50 much
as 1T does voters says Mr. Bryan in a
leading editorial in this weeks Commoner.
1.-THE next presidential nomination will
not be awarded to the highest bidder.
The eastern papers are just now much
concerned about a leader. They are
searching high and low for a Moses to
conduct the party to the promised land.
They with one accord declare that the
money question has been killed again, and
that no one can be considered a leader
who stands upon the Kansas City plat
form. They are also agreed that Tom
johnson is out of the question because his
state went republican.
IF some states controlled by the re-
organizers had gone democratic they
would have had smooth sailing, but they
cannot find any one who can promise
success and with them success Is the
only thing to be considered. 'rhe masses
of the democratic party. however. need no
one to think for them and they will have
no difficulty in selecting fit persons to act
for them when the proper time comes
The real democrats will see to it that
the party stands for real democratic prin-
ciples and the candidates are sound on
these principleS.'

NEW STEEL COMPANY
It Will Work in Harmony With the
U. S. Steel Company.
Special To The Journal

Special To The Journal.
New York. Nov 21.--It is stated that
the new steel company formed in Pitts
burg yesterday will work in harmony with
the United States Steel Corporation, as
the latter cannot supply the demand for
steel. AS the Union Steel company is in
position OF operate without help from the
greater concern, the inference is there
will be, if not an actual consolida tion
some working arrangements between the
old company and the new one to prevent
price cutting and harmful competition
While Union Steel will rank as the second
largest producer In the country it's prod
uct will equal only per cent Of the out
put of the United States Steel Corpora
ton. The 'Lackawanna Steel company of
Buffalo, will rank third.
