Mr. B. K. Bushee, candidate for state senator from the 27th district, is well known and favored in the region. His legislative experience in the lower house and strong faith in western Nebraska’s future support his bid for the upper house.
The Roosevelt policy seeks to transfer most powers from states to Washington, criticizing Democrats for states rights. It envisions expansive presidential authority to govern regulatory areas, potentially subordinating railroads and industries to a strong national executive.
The piece argues a third term for Roosevelt would break constitutional limits and concentrate power in Washington. It portrays him as dictatorial and eager to rule with a free hand, warning that success would erode the constitution and subject the public to a central national administration.
The Northport Herald defends democratic tariff policy against Sidney Telegraph claims. It traces 1893 to 1897 tariff shifts from Wilson to Dingley and Payne Aldrich, arguing that the era caused factory closures and mass unemployment, warning against repeating that experience.
The Telegraph and Taft favor further tariff cuts in most schedules, while urging caution to avoid harming industries. They contrast current prosperity with 1892, noting crops, trades, and labor strong, and warn against a Democratic president and Congress forming again.
The passage argues Roosevelt lacks a constructive program and aims to tear down institutions without offering restoration. It notes Woodrow Wilson has two years as New Jersey governor, implying insufficient experience for the presidency.
