In the state platform the iea-
lures which have attracted most
attention are the demands lor
the direct primary and the de-
mand for a law abolishing the
free pass. Benin, them both
looms up the great issue which
is the regulation Of corporations
and the establishment of equit-
able freight rates. The rank
and file of the republican party
have concluded that this issue
can only be successfully handled
by getting the nominations Of
officials closer TO the people, and
by putting out of bnsh,ess TIN
great pass club whichsShas ~
long been the efficient weapon of
the corporations.

The republican campaign in
Nebraska never started out under
such favorable conditions as it
does this year. The character
of the candidates and the manner
of their nomination has already
brought forth such a unanimous
expression of approval from the
press OF the state that an unusu-
al ma jority for the ticket is al
ready assured.

1t is we'll known that the cor
porations will oppose one feature
of the direct primary Of next
year, and that one at least of the
state officials is against its es-
tahlishment until general pri.
mary law is adopted. 1t is also
conceded that behind the move
ment on the part of some is a de-
sire to keep the selection of the
next u. S, senator ont of a state
convention and throw it into the
Legislature. The general opiu-
ion is that any direct primary
plan for next year which does
not also include the nomination
of u. S. senator will be iucom-
plete and will defeat one of the
greatest reforms ever established
in Nebraska politics-the popu-
lar selection of the senatorial
candidate.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1905-09-28

This assures a tremendous con-
test next year, in the nomination
of state and Legislative candi-
dates, and work on this is already
begun. In iuoSt counties there
is disposition to closely scan
and publish the records of the
present members of the legisla'
ture on the questions which have
been covered by the state plat
form, before any denominations
are considered. This is wise
precaution when the unsatisfac-
tory and unpopular record made
by the last session is remembered.

itors of Walter E. Christian
SECURED CREDITORS SAFE

r. = : Z
The unsecured creditors of Walter
E.. Christian, of this city, who re-
Gently was adjudicated a bankrupt,
will receive nothing on their claims.
This fact was made public this morn
ing, when the creditors of Christian
from Referee in Bankruptcy John S..
Maxwell, of Milwaukee, stating that
John M. Keh1or, who was appointed
trustee for the bankrupt, had filed his
final report in the matter, and that no
property was left to be divided among
creditors will be taken care of and
they will receive the large majority
of their claims against the property of
the bankrupt. The final hearing on
the report of the trustee will be held
in Milwaukee week from next Fri
day, and at that time final settle
ment of the matter will be made.
Trustee Keh1or was seen this morn
ing and stated that he was not in a
position to discuss the matter in de-
tail. The assets of the Christiancom
pany realized in the neighborhood of
81, 200, and all of this save the amount
demanded for the settlement of the
costs of the bankruptcy proceedings,
will be paid to the secured creditors.
The claims of such creditors are
greater than the amount left after the
payment of the costs, but their loss
will be a small one. AS to the un-
secured creditors, they will have to
hold the bag. At the time the petit
ton in bankruptcy was filed it was
said that the total liabilities of
Christian were in the neighborhood of
Sc, 900, but of course portion was sc
cured. The expense of settling the
matter has not been large, and it is
claimed that the trustee and his tor
ney realized as well as could be ex-
pected from the assets placed in their
hands.
The creditors who will lose by the
bankruptcy proceedings are scat
tered all over this section Of the coun-
try, many of them being in Kenosha.
Some few of the Kenosha creditors Sc
cured their money by actions in the
Justice court, and while it would have
been possible for the trustee to have
caused this money to be paid back, it
was decided that the costs of such &C
tons would be too great to take up
this phase of the fight.

THE ELEVENTH HOUR
Another Lincoln J. Carter Drama for
Next Sunday Night

"The Eleventh Hour" is one of
Lincoln j. Carter's best productions
and the cast that will be seen al the
Rhode opera house next Sunday night
is considered the best that has ever
played the piece. It is a me1odrama
rich in strong and thrilling situations
that arouse the sympathy OF the
audience at the very beginning. The
scenery is most elaborate and magni-
fcent, the scene of the old mill in the
background being very pretty and
effective.
The production relates the old story
of love, honesty and virture but told
in an interesting and consistent
manner. 3, The story is told with
mixture of mirth, song, and dance
that affords breathing spell between
the intense and sensational situations.
