early in 1904 before the conven-
tion of either the republican or
democrats. The democratic
party which was so potent fac
tor in the campaign of 1896 and

organizers. A party of fanatics
and discontents was a drawing

element even with Edgerton,

DO We Want Another Rail Road.

The letters recently received by
Mayor Purcell on the question of
securing the new line of rail road
proposed from O'Neil to North
Platt recalls the rail road project
of the citizens of North Platte,
Albion and Broken Bow some
fifteen years ago. That line was
surveyed but never got any farth-
er. 1t was intended at that time
to extend the road to Sioux City
and connect with the Chicago
and North Western rail road but
it failed for lack of finance. The
proposition of Lyman Waterman
is doubtless revival of the for
mer scheme and should it succeed
would give us direct connection
with Duluth and the Great Lakes.
Mr.. Waterman's claim that the
proposed line would bring about
great saving on freights no doubt
is true. Many other advantages
would be afforded by having two
roads that are not now enjoyed,
The township of Broken Bow car
we'll afford to look into thi:
matter and if the North Western
is back of the project the town
ship can we'll afford to offer liber
al aid.
