cOuM REPUBLICANS AGAINST NOMINEE
writer Suggests that Republicans
who Desire a Man worthy of
Trust should Unite on
One Democrat

SCHUYLER, Nsh. Sept ITO the
Editor OF The Bee: have care
fully read the several articles in The Bee
concerning the perfidy OF J. A. williams
Of Pierce at the republican state conven-
ton and l Join with you in saying that
a man who will thus violate the confidence
reposed in btn by the republicans Of his
county, for the sake OF political gain
for himself, IL one in whom no one can
have any confidence. When he went to
that state convention under instructions
passed by resolution In the Pierce county
republican convention to vote for Edward
Roscwatsr for United States senator. he
had but that one thing to do as long as
Mr.. Rosewater was in the field, regardless
Of what ne thought as to prospects or re-
suits and when II IL known that he secretly
made a deal with the Norris Brown forces
TO secure their aid in getting the nominA-
ton for railroad commissioner, hts traitor
GUS acts are the more assurable There
seems to be no doubt as to his work and II
J IL Of such a nature that all must condemn.
CoIfax Republicans Bitter.
The republicans Of this county Of Colfax.
which was one of the most enthusiastic
and loyal OF the Rosewater counties, are
bitter in their denunciation of Williams
and will not vote for him / suspect that
such will be the case all over the state,
ESPECIALLY with the friends OF Edward
Rosewater. Williams will lose thousands
OF votes and II 10 TO be hoped that he will
be defeated. A man who will prove 70 be
q traitor to his home republicans, as well
as to be two-faced with his supposed friend,
Is not the man to trust In SO important q
position as railroad commissioner. That Is
an important once and the people have too
much at stake to entrust their interests in
such hands. man who will practically
sell out his friend for the sake OF a political
office would be too apt to sell out the people
where the railroads were interested on the
other side.
Ny object in writing this letter to you
for publication. is TO consolidate the repub-
licans who propose voting against Mr. VIII
liams. There being three democratic cam
didates for railroad commissioner. some re-
pub,icans will vote for Horst. some for
F1tzsimmons and some for Davis. BY scat
tertng their votes they might still let Will
liams slide through, while II they consoii-
date'it, he would be sure of defeat
Suggestion offered.
l want to suggest to Tha Bee editor and
to republicans who propose cutting the
u "hhoAhDl NAiht NhCy C<A1N NhcAf
votes for George Horst OF Polk county.
have known George Horst and know
him to be a splendid man for that position.
His several terms in the Nebraska legis-
lature tell best of him. suggest to The
Bee editor to take up this suggestion and
advise the Rosewater republicans and re-
Apublicans who won't vote for a man like
WILLIAMS to all vote for George Horst.
There Is another reason why The Bee
should do this. and that is In protection OF
,Winnett and Cowell, whom It supports. II
tho vote In the state Ia close the detection
efrom Williams. II scattered among Horst.
FB1tzsimmons and Davis. might defeat all
three republican candidates.
Personally. ! am for the three democratic
nominees and would like to see all three
elected. but I want to see Williams de-
sfeated sure. and IL one Of the three demo-
crats Is successful 1 want honest George
Horst, that one. Let The Bee editor give
this his attention and Mr.. Williams will
not be on that board where he can have the
chance to betray the people. Very truly
yours. JOHN c. SPRECHER.
