conducts a funny column in the

larger than the district Lloyd
should have ma do the announce

The republican newspapers up
in Box Butte and Sheridan coun

deolre to support Lloyd Thomas,

Plenty of political timber is
springing up for the nomination
for representative from the 73rd
district. Gordon has three can
didates' in the field and Alliance
has one, with a strong possibility
that Lloyd C. Thomas, business
manager of the Alliance Herald,
will file. He stated in a recent
issue that he was being "pushed
into the race by admiring friends"
and that it was possible he would
enter.
Mr. Thomas has a wide ac
quaintance throughout the dis
trict and this should enable him
to make a ctrong run for the hon
ors. Alliance Times, Republican,

The Courier learns that Lloyd

Although the Courier and its ed

are republican and not supposed"
to butt into the game, yet is going
to do so, far enough to say if he
is nominated and elected the in

get earnebt boosting by that live

the best papers In Nebraska. Of
course he has a good field to cov

Mr. Thomas is tho Democratic

From th Nebraska Daily Press,
January 21, 1915:
Lloyd C. Thomas, state public-,
ity chairman for the state volun
teer firemen's association, who Is
assisting ' The Press In reporting
the convention, although only
twenty-six years of age holds a
conspicuous place in Nebraska
newspaper circles. He is business
manager and city editor of The
Alliance Herald, the official organ
of the associif Inn, and the lead
ing western N hraska newspaper.
Mr., Thou as. or 'Lloyd" as he
is called by delegates, the major
ity of whom he is acquainted
with, has been In the newspaper
business for six years at Alliance.
He is a good talker and a ready
mixer. During his newspaper ex

the Nebraska Division of the
Travelers' Protective Association,
.representing 2,000 Nebraska trav
eling men, and as secretary of the
Alliance Commercial Club.
From The Nebraska Daily Press,
January 22, 1915:
Mention of the convention
would not be complete without
some reference to the work of
Lloyd Thomas, publicity chairman
for the state association. While
other delegates have been Jiaving
a good time after the close or the
sessions, Mr. Thomas has been
pecking away at his typewriter in
rooms G and II at the Grand Ho
tel. He has more capacity for
hard work than any other man at
tending. the neeting and his fel
low townsmen have said of him
that while other fellows were
"ratting around." "Lloyd" was al
ways n work. And they spoke
the truth. Thomas Is all busi
ness there is no foolishness
about him. The bright lights
have no appeal for him. The con
vention did a wise thing in keep
ing him on the j( b as publicity
expert and in keeping his paper,
The Alliance Herald, as the offic
ial organ. The Press has been
under obligations to him for his
woik and for the cheerful man
ner in which he bandied it. Es
pecially was he appreciated for
heving submitted plainly-written,
carefully executed "copy" for the
printer;, copy that needed very
little revision.
VOTE FOR "LLOYD
therewith submit to you a few
reasons why you should vote and
support GEORGE M. ADAMS
for State Senator of the 28th Dis
trict: Iam a native of this state, bora
at Tckamah, Nebraska, in the
year 1872. Thirty-one years of
my life I have lived at Crawford,
Nebraska, and, from years of ex
perience I have had in the mer
cantile and other lines of busi
ness, I am in position to say what
I think we need in this part of th
state in the way of legislation.
Of my record in the 1907 ses
sion of the State Legislature I am
not ashamed, and you are now,
certainly, enjoying the social and
financial benefits of some of my
work performed at that session.
I believe in making all improve
ments possible for travel on our
public highways; also working
the state penitentiary convicts on
the public, .roads, utilizing the.
money so earned, if they have any
dependent parents or family, in.
filll for their support.
I believe the automobile should
pay a single tax for road purpos
es only.
I believe in th,e state printing
the text books for the publit
schools.
I believe in sending the sample
ballot out to every tax-paying
voter, at least, ten days before
election.
GEORGE M. ADAMS . Z
Candidate for State Senator ! y voter in the cml'; u T?ted
' in some other precinct than where
28th DISTRICT he lives
I believe in preserving our State Railway Commission, and am opposed to the Republican idea of
surrendering our rights to the federal government for control over all public service corporations, for
they yield to no principle of progress that is not forced upon them through legislation.
I believe you should vote the Democratic ticket because it has brought prosperity; it has given the
country a financial system which makes money panics impossible. The Federal Reserve and Rural
Credit acts arc two of the best financial laws ever enacted for the benefit of the cattlemen and farmers,
which will enable them to borrow money at the rate of six per cent interest. '

Judge Morrissey's work as Chief Jus-,

those having business before the Su- j

the voters showed their appreciation1
of his efforts by giving him a splendid
majority. Out of 93 counJes he re-1

whole state he received 9,993 more!
votes than were cast for any other

He is among the most widely known
