The Sidney Telegraph is published in Sidney Nebraska each Saturday under the standard second class classification. This notice lists the paper as a weekly local publication managed by A. Gapen.
The piece argues Taft is judged by policies, not personality, while Wilson is flawed as a candidate. Roosevelt is attacked as self-serving, with Miles calling him a fraud and third-term supporters labeled idealists. Lorimer and oil contributions cited to critique campaign ethics, warning that rhetoric masks practical failings.
The sixth Nebraska district voters will re-elect Hon Moses P. Kinkaid, renominated at the April primary. His record as faithful and diligent representative incluies securing homesteaders the right to prove up after three years. He is praised for vigilance, efficiency, and influence in Congress under Democratic control.
The piece declares Theodore Roosevelt a self-convicted enemy of the republic for his third term bid, accusing him of sowing class warfare and distrust while being aided by wealthy corruptionists and powerful trusts. It frames Roosevelt as demagogic, appealing to base passions and aiming to unelect public servants. It accuses him of disuniting the nation and building a reformist, party-dominant movement.
The Nebraska Democratic Party shows underlying factional antagonism between Bryan and anti-Bryan wings. Despite apparent harmony, many Democrats resent Bryan’s Baltimore stance and the Grand Island convention. A large segment regrets Wilson’s nomination, feeling no shift in his delivery has eased their opposition.
The piece argues that acceptance speeches reveal a divide between practical politicians and theorists, with Champ Clark’s style seen as more energizing than Nebraskan leaders. It notes apathy toward state candidates, suggests Bryan influence dampens enthusiasm, and questions W. H. Thompson’s effectiveness as state party chair, weakening hopes of a Nebraska victory.
Vermont and Maine rejected the Roosevelt third term push and kept their loyalty to the Republican party. Maine swung back from Democrat, while Vermont stayed with Tutt with the GOP electoral vote likely. The results, amid tariff politics and congressional issues, boost national Republican prospects and dismiss the so called “husk” claim. The Roosevelts, Perkins, and Flinn failed to sway these voters.
McHarg led the Roosevelt faction at the Chicago Republican convention and voiced bitter disappointment in what he now sees as the plan to destroy the Republican party to build a Roosevelt machine. He refuses to aid the revolutionary aim and will stay with the Republican party as more progressive than the rank and file. Disillusionment with the third term candidate grows.
Roosevelt says he never asked George W. Perkins for campaign aid. The piece argues Perkins, representing trusts aiming to overthrow the present administration, wanted Roosevelt and was willing to pay any price. It claims Perkins financed the campaign and influenced Roosevelt’s decision, despite Roosevelt asserting independence from Perkins.
The piece argues that to shift from prosperity, farmers consider two distinct routes. It outlines potential political or economic actions and hints at collective steps farmers could take to effect reform. The tone reflects a period-appropriate call for action among rural communities.
Reading clearly shows a political fork where electors may back Wilson to eject him or back Roosevelt to elect him. The snippet frames a tense decision for supporters and party alignment, reflecting an election dynamic with rival candidates and potential policy shifts.
