DUN MEIER Republican Nominee FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE Primaries April 18th, 1916 Resident of Omaha 19 Years How Would You Like to Be a Public Official ? You would be lied about and slandered if you stood in the way of the political bosses and political crooks. ROBERT SMITH Present Clerk of the District Court, is a candidate for re-election, and the batteries of the corrupt political machine are being turned loose on him. Why? Because he put the jury fee shavers out of business in the Court House by paying jurors cash. Because he has stood in the way of jury bribing, got one jury to confess having been bribed, which resulted in the representative of one of the big cor porations being indicted for jury bribing and finally leaving the town. Because he drafted the new election law, which makes it impossible for the gang to steal elections, and because he has appointed all the help in his office without consulting the bosses. NOW they accuse him of retaining fees unlawfully. This is an absolute falsehood. Robert Smith never received one dollar of insanity fees that were not promptly turned over to the County Treasurer. Under the law, naturaliza tion fees were part of the salary of the office at the time Mr. Smith became Clerk of the District Court. His predecessor in office received and retained these fees, which are earned under the federal statute, and no one ever questioned his right to them until Mr. Smith began putting the gang out of business. Mr. Smith, as Clerk of the District Court, has turned in surplus fees of over $10,000.00 each year, which is three times the amount turned into the County Treasury by any of his predecessors. Robert Smith should have the support of every citizen who is opposed to jury bribing, corrupt elections and machine rule.—Adv. Vincent C.
