ERNEST M.
POLLARD IS
THE CHOICE
ELECTED DELEGATE TO CONSTI
TUTIONAL CONVENTION OVER
ATTORNEY A. L. TIDD.
TIDD CARRIES PLATTSMOUTH
Mr. Pollard Carries Every Precinct
Outside of Plattsmouth Eridge
Eonds Defeated by Heavy Vote.
From 'Wednesday's Tatly.
The election yesterday on the
proposition of the selection of the
delegate to the state constitutional
convention resulted in the choice of
Hon. Ernest M. Pollard of Nehawka
by a majority of between 700 and
S00. four of the precincts of the
county having yet to be heard from
but which will assist in the swell
ing of the majority of the success
ful candidate. Mr. Pollard carried
every precinct outside of Platts
mouth reporting.
The vote was disappointing in
that the full strength of the vote
was not polled and a general apathy
on the part of the voters character
ized the election. In several of the
precincts the vote on the bridge
bond question exceeded that of the
candidates for delegates.
The issuance of bonds in the
sum of $100,000 for bridge work;
over the county was badly ewatted
by the voters and w?ll lose by a ma
jority of from 500 to 800. The vote
received on the bonds has been very
incomplete but out of seven precincts
reporting but one had returned a
majority for the bond issue and in
most of the precincts the vote was
two to one against the bonds.
In the city of Platsmouth Mr.
Tidd received a majority of the
votes cast and was given a lead of
eighty-four in the city but this was
soon swept away in the large Pollard
...ajw. --
In WeeDine Water city Mr. Pollard

Last evening a very
birthday surprise party was tender-
ed Mr. Claude Richardson, by a
u. rii.o- o
number of his voung friends in 1
honor of his twenty-third birthday
anniversary. The affair was arrang
ed unbeknown to the guest of honor
and last evening Mrs. Richardson
induced Claude to come up to the.
ritv and attend the picture show, i
During his absence the young
friends gathered at the home and on
the arrival of the guest of honor at
his home he was completely surpris
ed to find there some twenty of the
friends, but recovering from the ef
fects of the surprise entered into the
fun of the evening. The evening
was spent in games and the enjoy
ment of a pleasant social time un
til a late hour. During the evening
a very enjoyable luncheon was serv
ed to the members of the party
that served to further heighten the
pleasures of the occasion. Mr. and
Mrs. Richardson have just moved

DEPARTS FOR CALIFORNIA.
From Wednesdny's Dally
Charles E. Haney and wife de
part this evening for the west coast
where they expects to enjoy the cold

Mormon capital and from there go
to San Francisco, where a more ex
tended visit will be made and from
the Golden Gate they will go south
