worse injury than that.
There is no question but that the
republican party in Nebraska will win
hands down, because many who for.
merly voted other tickets will this year
vote for Sheldon and his ticket.
There Is no question, either. that the
republicans will carry congressional
districts in this state, II only the ne.
ccssity Of getting out the vote Is i'm.
pressed upon the rank and file of the
party.
But there Is danger Of too much con.
ndcncc in an easy winning. This con
dition Is not peculiar to the Third dis
trict of Nebraska nor to any other
district In this state, but is a general
condition all over the country.
Times are good. The farmers are
getting good prices for their farm pro-
ducts. There Is work for all, and
more than enough. Wages are high.
There is plenty to eat and plenty to
wear, and everybody Is happy. They
are content to let well enough alone,
and they are in favor of the repub.
lican administration continuing to
manage the affairs of this government.
| But there is such a thing as overcon-
Rdence. There is such a thing as be-
coming Indifferent to the campaign
and allowing the other fellow to elect
the ticket
| In the Third district the republicans
have between 1000 and 1900 normal
majority and II is safe to say that the
majority this year, if the vote gets
out, will be higher than that. But in
order to win, we must get ont the vote.
Nobody is Offering any good reason
why Judge Boyd should not be elected
to congress. and there are plenty OF
reasons self.suggesting as to why he
should be elected.
But active interest will be required
in order to bring out the vote and do
| Justice to the party. There are less
than three weeks remaining to get out
this vote, so that action on all hands
will not be out of place from now on
The republican party goes before
the country this year at a time when
there. seems to be strange unrest in
the political world, when new doc
trines are being preached and new
leaders springing to the front with un-
familiar clarion calls. But the repub-
lican party, serene in confidence of
the future, proud of the record of the
past, pointing to achievements and
promising further progress. appeals to
the saner judgment of thinking voters.
The policies of this party have been
tried and their practical application
through legislation and administration
have brought good results.
The republican party does not have
to go after new gods in every cam
paign. 1t does not have to propose
some new nostrum. 1t does not have
republic against another 1t does not
have to appeal to the baser side of
mans character, nor inhame his pas
sion through demagogic appeals. 1t
does not have to play upon ignorance,
but simply appeals to reason. That is
all 1t has done in the past and is doing
In this ampaign-buoyant in the eX-
pectation that the appeal will not be
in vain when addressed to the under
standing and best judgment of the in
telligent voting population of the ma
ton. .u.. ,. s.n....
The republican party is asking the
voters this fall in the elections for the
national house of representatives, to
continue the party in full power in
congress in order that policies of gov
eminent and administration now un.
der way may be conserved and carried
to full completion; that the structure
of material prosperity which has been
built upon the foundation laid blythe
republicans in the Fifty-fourth con.
gress may rest undisturbed and re.
ceive further strengthening.
= When the financial system Of the
nation was endangered by democratic
policies. the voters called upon the re,
publican party to save the day. They
had confidence in the republicans and
put them in power. The result was
the establishment of the gold standard
which makes every American dollar
silver or paper, as good as the best
dollar in the world When the indus
+ tries of the country were shattered by
democratic tariff legislation, and dem
ocratic administration, the voters
called on the republican party to save
the day. They elected a republican
