satisfying his own personal ambition.
There Is nothing pufred up about Bob
Appleby. He will not come back from
Lincoln next spring to tell us that he
is the only man in all these four coun.
ties who can ably represent us in the
senate chamber. He Is a Republican
of highest principles. and rs such he
will loyalty uphold Republican tradi
tons in this district by insisting, at
the end of his term. II elected, that
the time-honored precedent be adhered
to and that. with the interests of four
counties TO be considered, one term Is
enough for any man. That Is what
the Republicans of this district have
contended ever since the district was
formed-and it's the truth today as It
always has been. There is no reason
why Stanton and Wayne and Pierce
counties should not have as much right
to be represented in the senate as
Madison. There is no good reason
why Madison should selfishly ask for
two terms every time those other
three counties have one apiece. Mad.
ison county does not claim to own
all Of the brains or all of the ability
or all of the integrity in this Eleventh
district. There are just as capable
and just as much tobe.trusted men
in any one of those three other coun.
ties as there is in Madison. And r.
Y. Appleby is one of those men to
be trusted with the public's interests.
His neighbors trust Bob Appleby.
His life in Stanton county, stretch
ing back through more than score
of years, is enough OF the mans rec.
ord to tell what sort of a fellow he
is-and that record, his neighbors tell
us, is without blemish.
r. Y. Appleby is not after special
legislation to bolster up his own
private line Of business; he is not a
perennial office-seeker; he does not
claim to be "the only man" capable
of being senator he is a man of abil.
ity, integrity, man 10 be trusted
He is the logical candidate of the
Republican party in the Eleventh dis
trict for state senator this year.

APPLEBY'S PLATFORM.

What is R. Y. Appleby's PLATFORM"
ious parts of the Eleventh senatorial
district by people interested in nom
mating a Republican candidate for the
senate next Tuesday who can be
elected. The question is perfectly le-
Ultimate and is entitled to an answer,
although it has already been answered
more than once.
The platform which will be adopted
by the Republican state platform COM
mittee, will be R. Y. Appleby's plat
form. Every plank in the Republican
state platform to be adopted will re-
ceive the faithful, loyal and aggressive
support of R. Y. Appleby if he is
elected senator.
Mr.. Appleby is first, last and all
the time Republican. And he believes
in upholding Republican principles.
More than that, Mr.. Appleby has
faith in the people. He believes that
the platform which the Republicans of
Nebraska will build, will be true to
public interest. He is willing to abide
by the best judgment of the people in
the matter of a platform and he
pledges his best efforts in enacting
into law all of the planks which the
Republican party shall see fit to
adopt.
What more could any man say?
What man could make a more absolute
pledge as to the principles which he
will uphold?
R. Y. Appleby is Republican. He
is in hearty sympathy will all of the
progressive legislation that has been
enacted in both state and nation by
the Republican party. And if honored
by the Republicans of the Eleventh
district with the nomination, and later
I the election, he will use his best en-,
deavors to promulgate every plank
which the people of Nebraska, in their
platform, express a desire for.

Since both parties have notified the
that their tainted money
will not be accepted 1t is up to the
managers to conduct their campaigns
with rigid economy, for the people
have never been in the habit Of con-
tributing to campaign funds and they
are not likely to learn liberality the
first season. II is, however, admitted
by former managers that more than
twenty per cent of the amounts for
merly expended have been used wise
ly. If the voters would only take suf-
ficient interest in the political situa-
ton of the country to read the records
Of candidates and decide for them
selves who they want to vote for
there would be no demand for i'm.

all, or as one deserving more honors
and more senatorial distinction than
was ever, in the history of the district,
accorded TO any man before.
No good reason is apparent why
the Newman Grove banker should be
given a badge of superiority over his
predecessors in the senate from this
district.
We grant the fact that Senator Ran
dali would put in long hours and hard
work trying to secure county option
and trying to look after the interests
of the banks, but this sure is not
enough ground for setting him above
all the other good men who have
gone before him in the senate, and
among whom there was not one who
was ever given, or even asked, more
than one term. Mr.. Randalis super
iority over these former senators is
not apparent And unless he were
vastly superior to them all, there
surely would be no good reason for
giving him more honor in this office
than was ever given to any man be-
fore.

when its success seemed about to be
completed. is but the last of series
OF disasters that have awaited every
inventor and every appliance seeking
the mastery of the air. 1t Is the fate
of all Of Langley Wrights,
Zeppelin-to meet this disappoint-
ment at the GROWING moment. And It
is destined to be the heart breaking
ext erlence Of many more before the
airship bcomes a practical reality.
The problems are of a nature which
makes these disasters inevitable. All
the materials to be used for aerial ex-
pertinent must be of the lightest
known, and therefore subject to cas-.
lest arrangement or destruction. The
power to be employed must be consid.
cradle If the machine, no matter what
the type, is to be driven through the
air at any considerable speed and have
its direction controlled. But this
union of lightness and strength in con
struction is only one of the problems.
There is the motive power, for which
gasoline alone seems to be available;
and yet single spark from the EN-.
CINE will set the whole machine up in
flash If it comes in contact with the
gas. This, far more than danger from
the lightrings flash, is the fate that
the airship has most to fear and will
most often overtake it.
Then when one man can maintain,
poise himself in the air, and retain
some cpntrol of his direction, the
working out of the problem is only be-
gun. The inventor Of the steam en-.
CINE had a thousand details to work
out in applying it to the steamboat,
but his worst difficulties were already
overcome. For thousands of years
men had been navigating the seas !;
and they knew about buoyancy, about
the strains of currents, about the best
shape to resist waves and about how
to make a rudder All these are I'M
solved problems when the atmosphere
is invaded. All of them must be
worked out in practice through mil
lion failures and thousand disasters.
Beyond a doubt the mastery of the air
will yet belong to man; but the way to
it is still long and beset with dangers
and defeats

AT last the great philanthropist and

have been plundered by the system
to turn their savings over to him by
buying in unlimited qualities national

WHY GIVE RANDALL A HALO?


If they were to nominate c. A.
Randall, the Newman Grove banker
seeking to continue himself in the sen.
ate, the Republicans of the Eleventh
district would be forced, in the same
moment, to slap in the face a number
of very excellent men who have rep
resented this district in the senate
heretofore.
The Republicans of this district did
not honor w. w. Young of Stanton
with denomination eight years ago.
and yet Mr.. Randall dare not tell us
that he is a more capable man, or a
more honorable man or more eff.
cient senator than was Mr.. Young.
1t would indeed be working injustice
to the senatorial career of w. w.
Young, to give two terms to Senator
Randall as a reward for no better
service than was performed by Sena-
tor Young.
DR.. ]. ]. Williams of Wayne was just
as capable a senator, just as honest,
just as efficient as Mr.. Randall. Two
terms were not given to Mr.. Williams
and there seems little reason why
more honor should be paid to the
Newman Grove banker, who rendered
no better service and whose only ar
gument for continuing himself in of
flee is his own opinion that there is
no other man in the district able to
represent these four counties.
DR.. ]. NJ. Alden of Pierce was fully
as capable a senator, fully as honest
and efficient, as the Newman Grove
banker. Through DR.. Alden's work
the Norfolk insane hospital was re.
stored. Yet two terms were not of.
fered to DR.. Alden, nor asked for by
him. And there does seem slight rea,
son indeed why twice as many terms
should be given to Mr.. Randall as
went to DR.. Alden, particularly in view
of the fact that DR.. Alden was every
bit as capable senator as the banker
from Newman Grove.
The Republicans of this district
never have been accustomed to un
fairness. The Republicans of this dis
trict don't much believe in allowing
one man to be set up above all the rest
as "the only man" able to fill an of
fee with credit
If the Republicans of this district
saw any good reason why C. A. Ran
dali should be given two terms in the
senate when two terms were denied
such men as w. w. Young of Stanton
Dr. ]. ]. Williams of Wayne and DR.
Alden of Pierce, then no doubt Mr.
Randall would be crowned with the
halo which he seeks.
Up to date however no man has
ever been given more than one term il

ARCHAEOLOGICAL CANDIDATE
R. Y. Appleby of Stanton is the logi-
cal candidate of the Republican party
of the Eleventh senatorial district for
state senator this year.
From every point of view he is en-
titled to the Republican nomination at
the primary election a week from next
Tuesday.
In the first place Mr.. Appleby should
be nominated because he will make
the strongest candidate the Republi-
cans can select as their standard
bearer this year. That much is clear
ly pointed out by the fact that the
Democratic newspapers all over the
district are seeking to prevent his
nomination. The Democrats realize
that R. Y. Appleby as the Republican
nominee, their candidate would meet
most formidable opposition. No other
man would be able to enlist such sup.
port at the November polls this year
as R. Y. Appleby of Stanton county
and the Democrats know it. That is
why they hope Appleby may not be
nominated That is why Democratic
aid is being united with Appleby's OPP,
ponents. But it is safe to assume
that Republicans of the district will
be able to settle the matter for them
selves. And their best interests, from
every viewpoint, lie in Appleby's nom
ination.
Bob Appleby has no axes to grind
He is not trying to secure any legis
lation of value to himself, nor is he
trying to prevent legislation that NIGH
affect his business This is not bus
mess proposition with R. Y. Appleby
of Stanton. Mr.. Appleby is a farmer
and as a farmer he has no pet bills
to slip in while the people are nap

| terests which need looking after ir
the state legislature. He Is not seek
ing an advantage over the other fel
