POLITICS AND i" 4 ~.
). POLITICIANS.

City Clerk Harry W. Cheadle showed
all ct the old time politicians a. trick in
politics last Monday evening that they
VIII MT soon forget. After ballottng
202 times the council got tired and
elected Mr.. Cheadle. How it was
done, no one can tell. Even Mr.. Chea.-
die is at a loss to know where his ninth
vote came from. There was such
"sea-sawing" in voting that it was
evident to the knowing ones that no
one could be elected if Cheadle could
not
We presume that one of the anti
Cheadle voters got tired Of the game
and swung into line. To tell the truth
1t every alderman was free to consult
mis- personal wishes Mr.. Cheadle would
have been elected on the first ballot
at the first meeting of the new coun-
Gil. Political party influences. were
brought to bear on most Of the Alder
men, and hence they were not free to
act.
Inc sherlff's contest is going to be
the bitter one In the coming county
campaign. "Bill' Butchart is not going
to have everything his own way by
any means. J. T. Armstead can't get
the nomination. That is beyond a
question. But w. C. Sargent would
be very acceptable candidate. We
don't forget his friendship for organiz-
ed labor. He has always been right.
against all corners. What he will do.
we can not say. In any event if he is
a candidate things will look lively for a
time in county politics.

FAMOUS GE0RG lAN'S CHOICE:
H1storiane Thomas Watson Names
His Candidate For President.

AnOmas t"ot10A;1 names
His. Candidate For President.
Thomas 3. Watson, the historian,
who represented Georgia district in
congress, but has retired to private
life, in an open letter sets forth rea-
sons why, If in public life,' he would
support Congressman William Ran
do1ph Hearst for the presidency. Mr..
Watson's letter follows:
"Were in politics I should heartily
approve and support the candidacy OF
William r. Hearst because he has for
many years been exerting all the pow
er of his millions and his mental en-
ergies in favor Of the principles of JET
fersonian Democracy.
Il would support Mr.. Hearst: because
he is a young leader inspired by the
old spirit OF equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, because he
Gpvors the rights Of the many rather
than the greed Of the few, because he
does not represent sectionalism Of any
sort, but stands for the common people
OF the entire republic. would support
him because he is young enough to
cherish generous enthusiasm Of the
public good at the same time that he
has demonstrated capacity to succeed
In the most trying affairs of practical
life.
Il would support him because he
mans nn11ow IN
Is not the craven tool Of any ring, syn
dicate, corporation, trust or interest
Il would support him because he has
brains enough to realize what this pub
lie needs and pluck enough to do battle
for his convictions.
"A Democrat who knows what De-
mocracy is and is loyal enough to stand
by 1t in this day Of decadence, would
give him the aid Of my entire strength,
believing that I would thus be doing
the highest public service"
In commenting on the above utter
ance the Atlanta News says in the
same issue: "The Hon. Thomas e.
Watson is no longer a politician. No
temptation of Office, no plea Of the
public, has been sufficient to draw him
from his brilliant and honorable re-
tirement to engage in the personal am.
bitions OF politics. He has made fame.
He has achieved fortune by his brains
and his labor, and he is today by gens
eral consent looked upon as without a
superior among the thinkers and pa
trlots Of the state. But whether in re.
tfrement or in active service, Thomas
Watson is still the great tribune Of the
common people Of Georgia. They trust
him and follow him as, they do no 9TH
er man. And Tom Watson. the philos-
opher, the scholar in politics, the pa
triot in retirement, viewing all meas
ures and all men from the tranquility
Of unselfishness and repose, sends
through the News a message to- the
people Of Georgia, today which rings
like bugle call. It is the voice Of the
real tribune Of the people calling the
people to their opportunity.
'Tom Watson's letter Is the most nota.
BILE and significant utterance which the
prestdent !ct:ampai Cd III: IS far
evoked. It Ii the highest possible Win.
dication Of the contention of the News
that Hearst is the man Of the people
and the choice Of the people. 1t now
remains to see that the people have
their choice"

EFFECT OF THE DECISION.

The people of the United States are
generally we'll pleased with the decision
Of the Supreme court in the Northern
Securities case.
1t indicates that this government is
still safe. Those people who have been
carried away with the idea that there
was no integrity in our government
have been silenced. The court did all
that 1t was called upon to do.
Why don't the government destroy
the trusts? Well, that's the question:
The government represents the people,
and the people are most surprisingly
cool on the question. The government
ity of the people.
The government is up against
harder proposition than most people
appreciate. The people only think Of
their wrongs, while the government is
constantly reminded Of every persons
right.
: Destroying a modern trust is not an
easy proposition. Denying Jim Hill the
right to sell his Great Northern and
Northern Pacific to a single corpora
;tion is Infringing upon Mr.. Hills
rights to some extent. The moment
YOU grant him the ownership without
the full control that moment you deny
him his full rights.
This is what the decision of the
Supreme court amounts to- It prac-
tically permits Mr. Hill to own Great
Northern and Northern Pacific stock,
but it restraints him from disposing Of
1t in its entirety to the Northern Secur-
files company or for that matter to any
one else.
Jim Hill still controls the stock Of
the two railroads, and there is no law
that can take it away from him. So
long as he has it the people can expect
no relief in freight or passenger rates.
This being true 1T can well be asked
where are the people to be benefited
by the decision Of the Supreme Court?'i
There will DO relief, nor can there be
any until the full text of the decision
is consistently carried out, and that
is in the GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Of RAILROADS.

In. these days, when much is being

once owned yacht, but during the
Spanish-American war it was fitted up
as cruiser at his expense, and he pre-
sented it to the government, then en-
listed himself as private in the war
and risked his life on the firing line
before Santiago.
"1n April, 1903, he married Miss MILL
cent Wilson Of New York. There is
a charming romance connected with
this marriage. Miss Wilson was q
poor girl. Mr.. Hearst met her and fell
desperately in love with the vivacious
miss. His affection was reciprocated.
He requested her parents to put her In

Hearst is the only candidate before
the party who stands square1y upon

General Barry

In their desperation to hunt up and
discover somewhere or somehow, some
discrepancies in the accounts of fusion
officials in the past, the 'redeemers'
attempted to besmirch the record of
Gen. Patrick H. Barry, than whom no
more honest man has ever occupied
any position of public trust in all the
history of Nebraska.
1t will be recalled that General
Barry was adjutant general of the state
during the Spanish war and subse-
quent military movements. He had
the handling of hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Expert Examiner Virgins,
In going over the accounts of General
Barry, found an item apparently show
ing a discrepancy Of some s75.04. The
