George l.. Sheldon republican candidate |
for governor viii speak In Lincoln at the
Auditorium Wednesday night cancelling
date out in the state in order 20 reply 10
the speech OF A. c. shallenborger delivered
here last week. While there is short time
In which to advertise this meeting It Is cN-
pected large crowd will be ont and a red
hot meeting will result. Mr.. Sheldon has
never delivered a political speech in Lin
coin. but the reports from out In the state
indicate that he is one Of the most convinc-
ms speakers in the party and many repub-
licans and democrats are anxious to hear
him here.
The democratic committee and the demo-
crahc press are circulating all kinds Of
fake stories about Sheldon and are trying
to place him wrong before the people on
many OF the Issues Of the campaign. Some
Of these statements are in strange contrast
to the statements published In he demo-
cratic World Herald about Senator Sheldon
during the last session Of the legislature.
The world-Herald Of April ., 1905, had this
TO say Of the republican candidate:
Just a few republican members have
come out Of the session as strong or
stronger than when they entered Il. In the
senate Sheldon OF Cass rises head and
shoulders above the rest 80 far az freedom
from railroad influence is concerned. lie
has been IN this regard truly an independ-
ent member and the railroads have already
marked him for political oblivion. He lie
not their type Of man"
few days previous to the appearance Of
1 this endorsement Of Sheldon the World
I Herald printed a statement to the erect
/ that Sheldon and Wilsey tried to save che
interests OF the people, but were opposed
and defeated by the railroad influences
/ Mr.. Sheldon will have something to say in
/ answer to the democratic press reports at
HIS meeting here Wednesday night.
Hinshaw to Tour District.
The republican congressional committee of
the Fourth district met I'm Lincoln Saturday
afternoon and Congressman Hinshaw, 20 It
is said, was present. Mr.. Hinshaw is in
poor health. so the report goes, and just
came back from Kansas city Saturday.
/ II is not known whether he will be able to
take the stump during the remainder Of
/ the campaign, but he will visit as many
points I'm tile district as possible Inasmuch
as the democratic press is making much
ado about the automobile which was
franked to Fairbury on the frank Of Thomas
! c. Plat, friends OF tine congressman ex-
pect him 20 refute the charge that his in
fiuence secured the use of the frank.
Railroads TO EnjOin Taxes.
In conformity with their action of the last
two years the Burlington and Union Pa
cihc railroads will again enjoin the colec-
ton OF their taxes for 1906. During the
last few days these roads have written let
ters to the various county treasurers ask
ing them II they will take partial pay
ment on the taxes as some OF the counties
did in 1904 and 1896. Some Of the county
treasurers have asked the opinion of the
legal department on this matter and today
Attorney General Brown sent out letters
that no money should be accepted less than
1.-the amount OF taxes without a specific or
der from the federal court. The North
western, IL is understood will not try to
prevent the collection of its taxes, because
the amount levied against this road i'm the
various counties is less than 5000, and
therefore it could not come within the
jurisdiction OF the federal court. The rail-
road taxes become due December and 1t is
presumed, by the letters sent out an in
junction will be asked for before that time.
