Progressive democrats and Inde
pendent voters in Nebraska who sup
ported the republican nominee for
governor hist fall are pleased with
his stand regarding the republican
nominee for president of the I'nlted
States nexl year. Keplylng to an
Inquiry by the Omaha World-Herald
recently, Oovcrnor Aldrlch said: "In
Nebraska HO per cent of us are pro
gressives and I can assure you that
no one Is friendly to Taft; he has
evidently learned nothing during the
three years he has been In office. La
Kollette Is the choice of the people
of our state. His name Is mentioned
favorably on .all sides and he could
undoubtedly carry the state."
NEBRASKA LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT APPORTIONMENT
Better Representation for Box Butte and South Bnd of Sheridan County as Result of Re-apportionment.
Other Western Counties Qain in Representation.
Many of the readers of this paper
will be Interested In the following
Information In regard to the two
branches of the Nebraska state leg
Islature. The siate senate consists
of thirty-three members, and the low
er house of one hundred members,
both brandies of the above legisla
ture being elected every two yen i
Below are two maps of Nebraska
showing the legislative, apportion
ments as made by the legislature
last winter. Ily this it will be seen
that the northwestern part of the
state has gained quite a considerable
In representation over what it has
been having. The new apportion
ment becomes effective upon the e-
lectlon of the next legislature In
1KI2. One thing that will be espec
ially gratifying to our readers in
plete In some respects Mid need
some explanation as well as some
corrections. Each of the senatorial

excepting the Fourth district, con
sisting of Douglas county, which Is
entitled to five senators, and the
thirteenth district, consisting of Lan
caster, which is entitled to two sen
ators. Each of the representative dis
tricts is entitled to one representa
tive only, except the following: Dis
trict 10, consisting of Douglas county,
Is entitled to 12; Dlst. 28, Dodge, j
Dlst. 29, Saunders, 2; Dlat. :it), Lan
caster, 6; Dlst. 3, Gage, 2; Dlst. 47,
Adams, 2; Dlst. 48,Hall. 2; Dlst. 68,
Sheridan county Is that these two
counties now form one legislative
district. Formerly Box Butte was In
the district with a number of coun
ties which were crossed by the
Northwestern railway, nnd whether
Box Butte county and the south end
0 Sheridan county had any repre
sentation In the legislature depended
upon whether the towns along the
line of the Northwestern railway
chose to give it to them or not-and
it was usually "not".

The following corrections should be
made to the first map: showing that.

WE SECOND THE NOMINATION
"The chnnge In the office of state
superintendent of public Instruction
which Is scheduled to take place on
November 1, will leave that desirable
position open for new a.spirants, at
the next election, as Superintendent
Crabtree will not ask for an endorse
ment. The News-Blade suggests the
name of Superintendent Pate of Al
liance as a man on whom th voters
of western Nebraska may all unite
Prof. Pate Is one of the most prom
inent and successful educators of
the state, and he would make an ex
II. nt state superintendent."
The above is from the Bridgeport
News-Blade of Sept ember 15. The
Herald most heartily seconds the
nomination. Although we have not
asked Supt. Pate's permission to do
so, we wish to present him to Un
democratic voters of the state as a
candidate for the nomination for
state superintendent of public In
struction at the primaries next year.
We shall regret to lo.-.e him from
the sup-erintendency of the Alliance
city schools, but as we have let one
good man go from thai position to
head I :,!ate durational institution,
we will consent if necessary to part
with another to head the public
school system of the state.
