National
Influence

Show is it," one asks,
"that THE LADIES' HOME
JOURNAL, with a circula-
ton of 1900, 900, can
"cover" a nation in which
there are nearly so, 200, 900
women"
The solution Is this:
In the first place, let US
eliminate the ultra-rich,
who do their buying by
whimsy and by proxy; let
US eliminate the verypoor,
VINO live from "hand to
mouth" unmindfully; let
us eliminate the illiterate,
paupers and dependents.
Of the remaining wo-
men, THE LADIES HOME
JOURNAL goes to a repre-
sentative, selected list; it
goes to common-sense,
substantial homes, where
both price and quality are
an object. There are
several womenreaders to
each copy, and the infu-
enee of a copy spreads
through it's readers.
There is not a nook or
corner of America where
THE LADIES' HOME
JOURNAL is not read and
respected.
You can use a hundred
publications, and still fail
20 reach every single
woman. BY using THE
LADIES' HOME JOURNAL
alone, you reach a Sc
lectedpart thatwill leavcn
the whole mass.

Senator ~LsFollette,

Senator LaFollette's Magazine, in
an article reviewing Senator Burkett's
work said:
To get the truth about Senator
Burkett, you must get close. You must
study his record. When you do this,
you will see that he is a progressive
progressing. You will find that dur
ing the railroad legislation of 1906
he took strong strides in the peoples
cause. You will find him forging
ahead with the merest handful of re-
publican senators in support of the
amendment to provide for the physical
valuation of railroad property as a
basis for the regulations of railroad
rates, an amendment that was anathe-
ma to the system leaders of the Sen
ate. You will find him springing for
ward to the support of an amendment
to protect the railway employees and
to fix a just liability upon the rail
roads for their injuries incurred in
this hazardous service. You will find
him afterwards charging the ramparts
of the system in behalf of the rail
road company employees liability bill.
You wi. find him again voting consis-
tently, ~roll-call after rollcall, while
system senators were 'ducking' into
the cloak rooms to avoid the vote, to
put to passage in the Senate the bill
to promote the safety of the travelling
public and the employees of railways
by fixing a reasonable limitation on
the hours of railroad employees en-.
gagged in the operation of trains"

Why. Falls City Wants Hayward.

Falls City wants a federal building
and wants it bad enough to go after
it if she can find out where it is hid
ing.
Somebody got us an appropriation
of $4,000 for a site.
Burkett says he is it.
Mcguire likewise claims the credit.
But the six thousand appropriation
is of no consequence because it isn't
enough and nobody seems to want it.
Now ON the question of a new post
office, who is most likely to get it
for us Hayward or Mcguire?
Mcguire is a democrat; the next
house of congress is sure to be re-
publican. To which one would a
republican congress be most likely
to grant a favor, Hayward, republican.
or Mcguire, democrat?

ITCHCOCK-BARTLEY

We reproduce above a copy of one OF
the letters between Congressman
Hitchcock and Joseph Barley, which
have caused such a big political sen
sation. Edgar Howard, one of the
most prominent democrats in the state
and editor of the Columbus Telegram,
produced Photographic copies of a
number of letters which passed be-
tween Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. BARLEY.
While BARLEY was still holding the of
fee of state treasurer, and relating to
money transactions. BARLEY turned
out a defaulter to the extent of over
half a million dollars of state funds,
and served a term in state prison for
the ~offense. It has always been a
mystery where the money went. 1t
will be noticed that the letter is ad-
dressed to BARLEY as treasurer and
not as a banker or an individual, and
is dated during the time that he was
treasurer of the state. Other letters
and kilograms have been published,
which passed between Hitchcock and
BARLEY at this time. While Hitch
cock claims that the money he Dor
rowed of BARLEY was Bartley's private
funds, most of the newspapers of the
state have scoffed at this explanation.

Frank Hitchcock, now the postmas-
ter general. was the chairman of the
national committee and appointed
VIII Hayward secretary yer the
protest of Senator Crane, Speaker
Cannon and a whole raft of old
timers to whom a western progress
i've didn't look good.
Hayward is today one of the clos
est personal friends Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock has. Twice has he
offered Hayward the office of First
assistant postmaster general, but
Zach time the office has been de-
clined because Hayward prefers to
represent this district in congress.
Mcguire has in several speeches bit
terly attacked the postmaster general
saying that, Frank Hitchcock is not
fit to hold the office of postmaster
general
When Hitchcock to pass on
the places entitled to a new postof-
flee building and advise with con
gross concerning It, VINO is he most
likely TO favor, Hayward, his friend,
or Maguire, MS enemy.
LOOK at it from another angle. Lin
coin has hogged the congressman fol
years, and as a result has been given
about all the tayors going. The man
VINO does not live in Lincoln must
nave the united support of the out
side counties or he cant be nomi-
mated for congress.
Lincoln has recently been given
several hundred thousand dollars for
a new post office, more recently still
she was given another large appro-
priation to beautify the building and
grounds, and now Lincoln demands
further appropriations to improve
and enlarge her new ~postoffice build
ing.
Mcguire lives in Lincoln.
Hayward lives out side of Lincoln.
With a contest between Lincoln
and Falls City for an appropriation,
and only one appropriation al come
to this district, which do you think
Mcguire would favor?
The answer is easy,
There is today but one city in the
district entitled to a post office
building that has none, and that city
is Falls City. Lincoln, Nebraska City
and Plattsmouth are provided for.
Lincoln wants more and she wants
the congressman so she ear get
more.
Falls City wants a building and
she will get it if Hayward is elect
and she will not getitwithin the
text two years if he is not elected.
That's why Falls City wants Hayward

81 am very sure the people of Ne

to the senate. The great progressive
movement that is sweeping over this
country needs every man of progress

the politicians now in control of the

such men. The whole tendency of the
cabal of dominant politicians now in
control of that party is reactionary.
