There is talk AMONG the politicians
of Robert Carson reclaiming the coun-
ty leadership this fall and dethroning
Theodore Strong. Bob is a good fell
low and he has lots of friends who
will stand by him through thick and
thin just as he is known to stand by
them. There is not much love for
Dory Strong in the rank and file and,
with the Carson banner once up, there
will be plenty to rally around it and
Strong might be surprised to know
who some OF them would be, too.

Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1905-03-23

1t is gratifying to see large
majority of the republican papers
of the state fearlessly maintain
ing the Interests of the people in
opposition to corporation control
of the state Legislature. 1t is so
different from the attitude assum-
ed by the populist papers when
their party had control of the
affairs of the state. Instead of
criticising their Legislators they
either said nothing or compliment
ted them. 1t was that attitude
of the populist press that dis
gusted the public and turned the
political scales against them.
Republicanism does not oppose
corporations nor does it desire to
conhsticate their property or pre-
vent them from realizing a fair
remuneration for the capital and
labor employed, But republican.
ism demands fair treatment and
justice, to all business interests
and does not condone methods
Employed by one class that i'm.
poses on another. 1t is for this
principle the republican press
stands, almost as unit in Ne
braska and they do not hesitate
to criticise member of their
party that does not work on these
lines.
