Randall Ends Whirlwind Campaign in First District
C H Randall concluded a whirlwind campaign of Nebraska's First District with a speech to a gathered audience in Charlo. Walter S Anderson and R A Thorpe accompanied him as campaigners for Congress and the next term in Congress. Anderson urged repeal or modification of the noncompetitive freight clause, arguing for measures to restore competition, including potential government action to acquire a transcontinental line if needed. The speakers highlighted high freight rates hurting farming profits, noting apple and potato regions face losses in the season. They drew large crowds in Tecumseh, Howe, Nemaha, Peru, and nearby towns while rallying support for party objectives and campaign messaging.
