Horrible isn't its The very idea of ask.

to the value of my property and at

Of course John A. Mcguire will be
re-nominated by the democrats of the
First district, but upon whom will the
republican nomination fall? Pollard is
out Of it. Judge Frost and County At
mtorney Tyrrell seem to think that
this is not good year. It looks like
Will Hayward and that will suit Ma
guire and the democrats to a nicely.
For various reasons the pipe dreamer
of this department opines that Frank
Tyrrell would be the best man for the
republicans to nominate. He has ele-
ments of strength that no other poss-
ible candidate could muster One Of
these elements is his standing with the
men who work with their hands in Lam
caster county, meaning the union men.

Mr.. Hitchcock has received the unan-
imous endorsement Of Columbia Ty-
geographical Union, Washington.
Gee, if he could only turn loose in
Nebraska that bunch of 1000 union
printers he would have walkaway!
But how about Omaha Typographical
Union? 1t has "gone along" with
Hitchcock for several years and was
an effective fighting force in his inter-
ests. Is it going to keep going with
him?
The State Journal, rampant county
optionist, is boosting Aldrich for gov
ernor.f Is this because Aldrich is the
man who defeated county option while
he was member Of the state senate?
Ordinarily the American people are
opposed to third terms. The only Ne
braska state official ever elected three
times was Attorney General Leese. Gov
ernor Thayer treid to secure the NOM
ination for third term and was turned
down cold, although he did manage
to hold over for about a year, thanks
to the favor of bitterly partisan su-
preme court. But there are lot Of
Lancaster county people who will for
get their opposition to third terms and
support County Attorney Tyrrell with
all their might. He is engaged in a con-
test now that is worth while, and the

Representative Fordney made ring
ing speech to the House Of Representa-
tives last Thursday against the pension
bill that has been introduced into con-
gress to retire government clerks at q
certain age on a life pension. Mr.. Ford
ney did not hesitate to call spade a
spade. He said clerks in the depart
ments worked seven and half hours a
day at $l400 year. while men and wo-
men in his own district doing the same
kind of work were employed eight and
ten hours day and received about 500
per year. He does not believe in giving
one pension unless the other has one.
If the clerks can't save enough to care
for themselves, let them quit. But they
never do that, he said. They hang on
as long as they can. and do as little as
they can. That is precisely the condi-
ton in all our state institutions. Short
hours and big wages is what they want
in other words, SNAP" To give
government pensions would not only
be unjust. but it would be an insult to
the country, Hurrah for Fordney!-

that there was not one cent raise in

there were some slight reductions.
