Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1906-11-01

Every voter should bear in
mind that he alone is to blame if
he does not get to the polls and
vote on election day, and no
republican should stay away
because of the overwhelming
majority the party may have in
the state. 1t is your privilege
and right to use your franchise,
but it is more than that-it is
your duty to YOUR country and
your flag that you should exercise
this right.

1t is very noticeable that the
opposition to Norris Brown in
the republican party comes from
the railroads, lumber and grain
trusts of the state. What is
most surprising is that a few of
the country newspapers of the
state will allow themselves used
to further the interests of that
clique.

The nomination of G. Hisel
for supervisor in his district is a
compliment we'll deserved. Mr..
Hiser served on the county board
from his district for two consecu-

candidate for the next term. 1t
was only on the earnest solicita-
tion of friends that he again al
lowed the use of his name.

Congressman Kinkaid's Record.


never sent a more active man to
congress than Hon. M. p. Kin
kaid of this district.
Besides looking after general
legislation Congressman Kinkaid
has been able to accomplish more
TOR the Sixth district than all of
his predecessors combined. His
greatest achievement was the
securing of the passage of the
$40 acre homestead law that
bears his name. Again he
rendered valuable services in
standing out against the big
ranchmen, who, with a paid
lobby at Washington, tried to
get the government to pass a
lease law, which would have,
practically, defeated the home
stead law.
He has secured the increase of
the mileage of stage mail fully
so per cent since the commence
ment of his service, and added a
number of new post Offices, for
the better accommodation of the
public.
He has promoted material and
important improvements in rail-
way service, by securing more
room for mail clerks. and in
several localities has secured the
carrying of mail by freight trains
in the absence of regular passen-
ger service. He has secured for
a number of the larger post
Offices in the district, additional
clerical assistance. He has Sc
cured 81 rural delivery mail
routes and has applications for
more than twenty more.
He has introduced and promot-
ed the passage of a large number
of private bills for the relief of
soldiers of the Civil and Spanish
American wars. He got through
as many such bills as congress
would allow him to pass. He
has helped promote the allowance
of pension claims, in the Bureau
oil Pensions, over 700 claims,
having gotten through last ses-
sion nearly 800. He now has
nearly 800 cases pending in the
Bureau of Pensions, besides pri'
vate bills he has pending in con
gress for the relief OF soldiers and
members of their families.
He has secured special acts by
congress for resurveys of public
lands in Brown, Rock, Cherry
DAVIS, Mcpherson, Wheeler, Gar
field and Holt counties, to th'
great benefit of the localitie:
affected.
AT the last session he secured
an appropriation of $500 for
government post Office at kear
ney and $50, 900 for the improve
ment OF Fort Robinson. He got
a bill through which allows the
military post to purchase horses
of Nebraska farmers, one or more
at time. Under the old rule
they had to be bought in jot
lots and some eastern state wa:
the beneficiaries.
Twelve years preceding Con
gresham Kinkaid's election to
congress, Fort Niobrara and For
Robinson had nothing done fol
them and they were slated fol
/, abandonment. Mr.. Kinkaid pre-
vented the carrying out of the
orders to abandon these tive
posts, with the result that For
Robinson is to be made a per
manent large post.
! Congressman Kinkaid's RECORD
/ in congress has been an active
, one from the first and highl,
successful for his constituents
His election should, and doubt
r less will be, with an increased
, majority.
