Whorter. Thomas Chilvers was Sc.
lected chairman of the county central

We commend the administration of
President Taft. Without fear or ia.
for and with great ability he has pur.
sued consistent, upright and pat.
riotic course in the affairs of this
government, which, in his Judgment
would best promote the interests of
all the people. During his period of
service to his country, as its chief
executive, he has heard but not heed
ed the petitions of special interests,
and with the wisdom, fidelity and pat.
riotism of true leader of the people,
President Taft has strengthened the
powers of the government against
those who would encroach upon the
rights of the people. The great trusts
have been brought under proper sub.
lection to the law; corruption in pub
lie Office has been condemned and
powerful malefactors have met with
an honest, fearless administration of
Justice; under the administration of
President Taft legitimate commerce
has been fostered and protected and
| an active interest in the peace and
| progress of the world has been mani
| tested. We commend the action of
| the president in the international
peace movement and recognize the
initial force of his position in the
| speedy ratification of his proposed
peace policy by the great powers Of
the earth. With force and faithful
ness the great progressive policies of
the Roosevelt administration have
been applied in the nations affairs.
We heartily endorse the record in
congress of Hon. Norris Brown, Ne
braska's great United States senator
With only the interests of the whole
people in mind he has Loyalty support
ed the president in his great fight
against the interests and for the peo
pie and by his honesty, ability and
lofty patriotism, has won place of
high influence and respect in the ma
tional congress and given to Nebraska
a representation which it has seldom
enjoyed. We pledge to Senator Brown
our confidence and support, believing
that his services to the people of the
great state of Nebraska merit the ac-
tive support of all loyal citizens, irre-
spective of party lines or ties.
We approve the administration of
Gov. Aldrich and the republican state
officers, as honest, fearless, able and
just. In our candidate for district
judge, Hon. A. A. Welch, we present
to the voters of the ninth judicial dis
trict, man admired and respected
by the people at large and loved by
all those who have come to know him
more intimately in the courts over
which he has SO fairly and ably pre-
sided. His record on the bench is a
record of faithful, fair and able ad-
ministration Of justice. BY simple
fairness, coupled with his great abil-
ity as lawyer and judge, he has won
secure place in the confidence of
all the people. His personal qualities
and his professional attainments make
him the ideal candidate in a campaign
in which both of the great political
parties have practically declared in
favor of non-partisan judiciary and
we believe that the voters of this dis
trict will take the first step in the
direction of this reform by sustaining
in the election man too large in all
respects to be influenced unduly by
any political party or creed. To Hon.
A. A. Welch, we pledge our confidence
and support.
