Republican Speakers Being Given
Close Attention.

-. II. SlOdU OF 6CncNd spoke 10 a CTOWu
that filled Clay Center's spacious opera
house last night. The Clay Center band
discoursed excellent music and the Repub-
licsn Glee club rendered some excellent
campaign songs and responded to the
hearty recalls Of the audience. The speaker,
who Is our neighbor and one who has for
years been actually interested in matters
affecting the farmers, discussed the po-
litical issues as related to that large branch
of our state voters. Local democratic is
sues were being made or the relative in
crease of farm and railway valuations. Mr..
Sloan showed that Nettleton and Jennison,
who voted for the increase of railway
values for municipal taxation, had been
nominated by the republicans for r~e-elec-
ton. while Mr.. Ashton, who had voted
against such increase. had been rewarded
by the democrats of Clay county and the
rest of the Fifth congressional district by
the nomination for congress.
SEWARD, Neb., Oct. 29.-(Special. )-Hon.
Il. II. Henshaw spoke here last night to an
audience that crowded the opera house.
Il. S. Norval, chairman of the meeting, in
making the opening Introductory remarks
referred to the article from Seward, pub
lished in the Omaha World-Herald, saying
that the 1900 employees who were said TO
work in the Seward Bottling works were
only the father, son and a single boy. The
Milford Flambeau and Taft and Sherman
clubs were here and, headed by the band,
marched over town firing skyrockets.
Some time ago John F1eener tackled a
ntice on Thomas pop factory saying that
unless Bryan is elected this factory with
its 1000 hands will be closed down" John
did this for q joke and the World-Herald
correspondent in Seward sent 1t into that
paper, which printed it in that sheet with
large headlines. Then Bryan's Commoner
printed it. The only mistake made by the
World-Herald correspondent was that he
added three ciphers too many, as the fac.
tory only employs two men about three
days In the week. But this is as near as
the World-Herald ever comes to the truth,
and it's readers make allowances accord.
ingly. The factory will continue to operate
with its two hands just tho same, no mat.
ter which Bill is elected, but probably with
better success il Taft is elected.
