The Herald has no reflection to east whatever to make upon Mr. Knlest's opponent In this campaign, but it is plainly evident that he will have to run again before he sa arcs an of fice in Box Hutte county, as there Is no question of this being Mr. Knlest's year.

Nebraska ought to have a nonpartisan Judiciary and a non partisan board of regents of the State University. Every Intelligent voter knows that It would b. far bet ter for the state if party politics could be cut out of our courts nnd educntlonal institutions; and every republican voter owes it to himself and his state to vote for at least a pnrt of the democratic candidates for judges of the supreme court and regents of the State University this year. We feel more like urging our rentiers to be sure to vote for the right candidates for these offices than we do like urging them to vote for any particular candidate or set of candidates for county offices. And yet, the democratic nominees for county offices in Hox Butte county are entitled to a write up in The Herald before election, and we re gret that it has not been possible to give it earlier in the campaign. The Herald would have been will ing to have omitted entirely any newspaper discussion of the relative merits of t he candidate for county office during this campaign, and to have left newspaper publicity of the candidates to suoh statements as of the county have already decided to give the present sheriff a second term, Of course we do not know the result of the election two weeks from next Tursday, but It looks to U very much as though Oil. Cox will pull 'hrough with a fOOd majority.

In presenting the following few faots in regard to democratic candi dates, we do so without reflesting of the city, and that was the office of county treasurer. Many of th democrats of this city who were friendly to Mr. Martin, who restdog in Alliance, favored permitting the Royal BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure Used and praised by the most competent and careful pas try cooks the world over The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar made from grapes down on any Issue trunied up for campaign purposess. He believes in and practices an honest, economical administration of the county's busl ness, such an administration as a majority of the tax payers and vol cre endorse, and we believe they will show their endorsement by re electing him. As far as party poli tics is concerned, there is no good reason why all three members of the county board should be members of one political party. As the two hold-over county commissioners are republicans, it is but fair that the one elected this fall should be a dem ocrat . I In the least upon their republican out8ide to nominate either him or opponents. The Herald has no de-: the candidate, whichever they sire to say anything to which any choae tnU they dld practtcally. candidates for public office or their friends can reasonably take excep tions. Of course there are a few voters left who will vote their party ticket straight, but the number of While Alliance gave Edgar Martin a majority, he also received a majority of the outside vote, Including the town of Hemingford. so that he would have been nominated had tli re Rev.

Reed to the office of county superin tendent of public instruction by unan imous vote, and we are greatly pleas ed that she will receive this splendid compliment to which she is entitled. The republicans of Box Butte county have recognized, also, the good dem ocratic principle of a nonpartisan ju diciary, by making no nomination for county judge, thus permitting the re-election without opposition of our friend, Judge L. A. Berry, the dem ocratic nominee. Coroner Dr. F. W. Boland, democratic nom inee for county coroner, is a candi date for the first time for a county office in lkx Butte county. While he may not have as extensive acquaint ance with the voters throughout the county as some of the other demo cratlc nominees, he is a man well qualified for the office for which he has been nominated, and if eleceted will without doubt discharge the du tics of the office in an efficient and acceptable manner. Dr. Boland is a mailuate of Creigbton Medical Col lege, Omaha, and was on the surgi cal stafr in St. Alexis Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio, before coming to Alliance. The voting contest at the Alliance Roller Rink closed Tuesday night. Km ma Coleman won the diamond ling, having 11,240 votes. Nellie Keeler was second with 9,170 votes. J. B. Saeger of Boone, Iowa, has been In Alliance the past week or two making arrangements for the special sale at Norton's, advertised in this issue of The Herald. Mr. Saeger has been successfully engag ed In this line of work eight or nine years and of course there is al ways "something doing" in a sale of which he has charge. W. B. Slckler, a barber of McCook, arrived last Friday to take a place in Mounts' barber shop. He has rented his house in McCook and In tends to make his home In this city if he can find a house or rooms for light housekeeping. He expects his wife within a few days.
