C. MOUNTS
Republican Candidate For
County Clerk
of Box Butte County
' ; . '
W
I wish to call your attention to the fact that I am a candidate for the
office of county clerk. 1 became a candidate for the nomination on the
olicitation of republican leaders, for the reason that our strongest man,
Mr. Hargravcs, who has been clerk for the past five years, did not want to
run again.
Having accepted the nomination it is only natural that 1 desire to be
elected and for this reason would ask that you give the following facts
due consideration before casting your ballot.
The county clerk's office is the most important office in the county
and carries with it about four times the work of any other county office,
for in addition to the duties of the county clerk 'g office, he also has to act
as county recorder, clerk of the district court, clerk of the board of in
sanity, clerk of naturalization, clerk of the board of equalization and
clerk of the board of county commissioners, in addition to which he has
the taxes to figure and turn over to the county treasurer for collection.
I have been a citizen of Box Butte county since its organization, serv
ed as county clerk for two terms (1908-1912), and retired, and point with
pride to my record as a citizen and efficiency as an official.
With all doe respect to my opponent I appeal for your support on
the strength of being a man of experience and efficiency and qualified to
fill the place. Yours for service,
W. C. MOUNTS.

Mr. Voter
'Bootlegging" in Colorado has been REDUCED since
prohibition. Government licenses have been cut from 2500 to
103 since January according to the Internal Revenue coleletor
of Colorado.
The whole state of Kansas has only 89 government licens
es less than one-half the number Omaha has over and above
the regular number of saloon licenses.
Wet Nebraska has 825 saloons, and 2200 government li
censes, while Kansas, with prohibition, has only 89, and dry
Colorado only 103. In Omaha alone, there are 601 govern
ment licenses and 354 saloons.
Talk about "blind pigs' and prohibition! Wet Omaha
has twice as many "blind pigs" as both Kansas and Colorado
put together.
FURTHERMORE, Nebraska booze has put 75 per cent of
teh 350 prisoners in the Nebraska penitentiary.
Everyone knows that science, that railroads, that big bus--mess
of every description has denounced booze as its worst en
emy. The saloon has been responsible for more than one-half the
crime in Nebraska for the last year. Eight automobile acci
dents out of ten are caused by whisky.
Two divorces out of every three in Nebraska are trace
able to the saloons.
In Nebraska 75 per cent of crime, 4 Oper cent of the feeble
mindedness, 40 per cent of the pauperism and 25 per cent of
the insanity is the direct effect of the saloon.
The Nebraska saloon has not one excuse for existence.
