To the Voters of Nebraska:

This is a fight for principle and real
freedom against dogmatism and a passing
hallucination in politics AS the extremists
who believe they should be allowed to make
rules to govern the conduct of their neigh

troll in the legislative districts, THE ONE
WAY to make sure of baking their designs
lies in my nomination and election. A mo-
ment S consideration will convince you this
is a fair and true statement of the situation.
Therefore, while extending my thanks

lance and devotion can we make assurance

Eastern Magazine Pays Tribute to
Congressman Hamer Of Idaho.

The August number of the Nation

entertaining analysis of Congressman

There are twice as many United

eressmen. and therefore it devolyes

through the house of representatives.
Now Colonel Hamer has been IN

fates have decreed in his case that he

population but a very large territory

Of the country inasmuch as 1t needs
great deal in the way of legislation 70
bring about its proper development
and care for the rich resources yet
almost unknown to the rest of the
country. The republicans of Idaho
perhaps realize that they have a big
lob to attend to and selected their
man accordingly The Washington
view is that Colonel Hamer is at
tending to about as much as ordin-
arily falls to the lot of several con-
gressmen. and that he is doing a first
class piece of work Colonel Hamer
enlisted as a private in the Spanish
American war and rose to the rank
Of Northumberland of his regiment.
He became military governor of the
island of Cuba. and associate justice
of the supreme court of the Philip
pines. This is his first session in
congress. but he has an acquaintance
and influence that many men have
not been able to attain in years.
Idaho has immense wealth in the
raw products that il furnishes. and IN
the formulation of the present tariff
bill Colonel Hamer succeeded in Sc
curing a rate Of one and one-hali

had been practically completed ant

strengthen a comparatively weak
state would certainly be a dullard TO
come to Washington with any falsely
framed notion that he is going 20

formation; that kind of thing may
at this time have certain degree OF
popularity, but it fails to fit in with
the plans of practical congressman
who have a great deal to ask for on
