Karl I). Mallery has yielded to the
requests of friends and filed as can
didate for the republican nomination
for state representative for the dis
trict composed of Box Butte and
Sheridan counties. He is well qual
ified by education for the position,
and while having had no legislative
experience, he has hnd some obser
vation while attending the state imi
versity Unit may be helpful to him
in the event of his election. He is
popular nt home and no doubt will
also receive considerable support in
the north end of the district. While
Mr. Mallery has other qualifications
that commend him to the public,
that which is most pleasing to us is
the fact that he shows himself in
harmony with the present day spirit
of progress by signing Statement
No. 1, In regard to the election of
United States senator, which pledges
him to vote for the candidate re
ceiving the largest preferential vote
in the Btate.
