Senator Beveridge and Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks each made a strong
plea for the election of a republican
congress this year. Both stand up for
American principles of government as
against European. Each declares that
government ownership of railroads is
radically un-American and contrary to
our fundamental principles. Each de-
clares that the government of the peo-
pie can not manage business better
than the people themselves. Let
Europe copy American methods, not
America copy European methods, :"
says one of them. They point to the
prosperous condition of this country
today, they point to the things that
have been accomplished by the repub-
lican administration and draw sharp
distinction between democrats, who
are now claiming credit for the prin-
ciples that have been followed, in that
the republican party does things
while the democratic party merely
talks about them.

Bryans 'trailers, sure enough, have
begun to flop back and, following the
leader, now declare that the country
is not yet ready for government own
ership. A couple of weeks ago every
body that didn't agree with them was
tool And, to let themselves down
easily, they are predicting that gov
eminent ownership will come after
while. But they will retreat from
this ground as time goes on. Such
an un-American system can not be
forced on this country, even by a man
as popular as Bryan was when he re-
turned to New York.

PROGRESSIVE BURR TAFT.

Madison county has progressed very
materially during the past six months.
The improvements which have been
launched and finished have marked a
new era for the county's life. ,,
For years and years Madison coun-
ty was afflicted with rotten old wood
en- bridges which were positively dan
gerous, and no action was taken to
rebuild them. Today five new bridges
made of steel and permanently con-
structed, span rivers in this county.
Since the town of Norfolk was
founded, there has been settlement
of farmers living north who were COM
PEELED to drive many miles out of their
way to reach this city. Today ar
engagements were completed by Madi-
son county commissioners to build
bridge over the Northfork, which will
shorten the route by many miles. 1t
makes it easier for farmers to reach
Norfolk and it will help Norfolk.
For years the west end of Norfolk
has been damaged many times ans
nually by overf1ows from Corporation
gulch. Thousands of dollars have
been lost by residents of that section.
No effort had been made to permanent
ly and effectively correct the evil.
The same condition existed west of
the city several miles, where farm
ers' lands we're flooded by waters that
were not properly drained Roads
were had in that vicinity. ,...,.
Today: start has been made to
solve the Corporation gulch problem
and relieve all property that has been
damaged, without injuring any. The
mmissioners, and especially Mr..
Taft, since this is in his district, have
this matter and have devoted many
days of their time to 1t without cent
in compensation for the time and
work. And IL the commissioners are
able to do it, they will relieve Nor
folk of one of the worst situations
that the city knows.
Similar drainage action has been
taken west of town where overflows
caused damage to farms for years
The drainage will relieve bad situa-
ton and will allow good roads to be
made.
There will soon be a graveled road
leading from here to the Junction. 1t
will be permanent road, belonging to
the city and county. 1t is a road
which is now maintained partially by
the county, because it is county road,
and the county will be making a good
bargain in getting it for $500. This
is another of the recent steps forward
for Madison county.
Burr Taft has been county commits
missioner but few months, compare
lively. He was appointed to fill an
unexpired term. He is entitled to cleo
ton at the hands of the people of
this county.
Things have been doing since the
present board has been in Office 1t
has been the most progressive board
the county has had in years. They
have done things. This year Mr..
Taft, alone, is on the ticket, the others
holding over, and to keep up the good
work, Mr., Taft must be elected. Hell
has been, for his district, live wire"
He is progressive, When he sees
thing that needs fixing, he believes it |
is economy to fix it and fixed it is.
Burr Taft will receive a glorious
vbte from the people of Madison coun-

THOS. Il. ANDERSON.

The Madison Chronicle prints pic
candidate for representative from this
county. and recites little personal
history of the republican candidate as
follows:
when the question of selecting a
capable man to represent the county
in the state legislature was presented
to the republicans In convention as
sembled the suggestion of the name
of T. E. Anderson was received with
acclamations of approval on all sides.
His nomination, which followed by a
unanimous vote, came to him unso-
licited. He comes before the people
untrammeled by any pledges or pre-
convention promises of any kind. He
heartily endorses the resolutions
adopted by the convention and If elect
ed would prove potent factor in
shaping legislation In harmony with
republican principles as enunciated by
the state platform. He will be found
a true representative of the people at
all times and an earnest and indefat.
igable worker, who will always stand
ready to respond to the will of the
constituents. A vote for T. Il. Alder
son next November will make you an
instrument in naming the next repre-
sentative of this county.
Our subject first saw light of day
In Iowa county, Wisconsin, where he
spent his early life and received his
braska, accompanied by his brother,
John, locating on a farm about three
miles southeast of Norfolk. After a
short residence here he removed to
Platte county where he resided until
1876 when he moved to Madison coun-
ty again, demonstrating the farm upon
which he now resides. At the time of
his removal from Platte county he
was married to Miss Amelia Slater.
To this union were born two daugh.

son has been successful in business
way, being the owner Of $50 acres of
choice Nebraska land. Two years ago
he erected a, beautiful residence on
his home. farm which is situated eight
miles southeast of this city. He has
always been republican in politics
but has never aspired to nor held any
public Office aside from that of school
director. He has liberal education
acquired in the common schools of
his native town and in the school of
practical business experience. He is
in every way qualified to discharge
the duties of the Office for which he is
a candidate and we would respectfully
solicit the support of the republicans
OF the county and all others who are
interested in having a legislature
elected who will stand by and work
in harmony with our next governor,

COUNTY ATTORNEY MADE GOOD

COUNTY ATTORNEY MADE GOOD
1t was charged by democrats of
Madison county few weeks ago, just
stein had requested a grand jury, that
the request would terminate in a
farce 1t was charged first that the
grand jury would not be set until after
election, both to save trouble for the
county attorney and for Judge Boyd !;
second, that County Attorney Koenig-
stein had waited so long to act that
the attendants involved - Wiles and
Ellis--had gone beyond the borders
of any known land and that they could
never be secured. even If indicted;
third that, even II the grand jury
met, nothing would be done by way of
seriously investigating charges pre-
ferred. These charges were all made
in a most vicious and prejudiced man.
ner by the Madison Star-Mail There
weren't names enough in the diction-
airy to apply to Jack Koenigstein and
It was even insinuated in the articles,
which appeared each week, that be-
cause Mr.. Koenigstein lived in Nor
folk was reason enough to cast reflec-
tons and malignment upon him.
The tables have been turned and the
accusers have taken to the tall grass.
Their silence is ominous. What can
they say to these facts?
The grand jury, requested by the
county attorney without regard to the
toes that might be stepped on, was
granted Immediately by Judge Boyd
and the date was set for last week
almost two months before election.
Ellis and Wiles were both secured
by County Attorney Koenigstein and
were on hand all through the investi!
CATION. They testified and they were
here when they were wanted by the
sheriff.
The sixteen men who composed that
grand jury probed every particle of
available evidence that could be found
and did what they believed to be their
duty, in face OF the previous slurs cast
by the democratic mud-throwers. They
returned three indictments and three
men are now under arrest, each hav-
ing furnished $1,000 bonds, awaiting
trial in November.
In November County Attorney Koen-
igstein will prosecute them with every
bit of evidence that he can secure.
County Attorney Koenigstein has
placed his accusers In embarrassing
predicaments. He was maligned be
cause he was a republican and be-
cause he lives in Norfolk. The demo,
Gratis seem to have forgotten that his
opponent In this campaign also lives
in Norfolk and that he has lived in
Madison county only few months
while Mr.. Koenigstein was reared in
the county and has lived in Norfolk
practically all of his life.
