After reading of so many towns

Congress is thinking of taking a

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
Sudden activity on the part of
friends of Governor Cox of Ohio is
explainable by the developing logic
of the democratic presidential situ
ation. Insofar as there' is any form
to the badly mixed muddle of dem
ocratic affairs, that form focuses just
now' in the direction of the Ohio
governor. w
Attorney General Palmer was in
the running till he alienated the la
bor element with his coal strike
injunction. "He is still running, but
there is small chance that the party
managers will care to risk a candi
date who is anathema to organized
labor.
Mr. McAdoo has, been strong in
his own right.. But he is son-in-law
of the president. His candidacy
has too much of the heir-apparent
look to attract the party managers.
They would be on the defensive with
Mr. McAdoo as candidate. They will
look elsewhere.
No other candidate now in na
tional imagination. Edwards is
good, to promote the liquor rebellion
but would not do as a candidate.
Hitchcock is unthinkable, outside
of Nebraska because of his pro-Ger
man services in the senate preceding
the war. Owen is too radical and
too far south.
The supply is as scanty among
democratic governors. There are
not many, for one thing, outside the
solid south, New York has a demo
cratic governor, but he is a member
tt Tflmmanv hall. The one out
standing possibility Is James M. Cos
of Ohio. He Is outstanding because
he has repeatedly carried that rpub
lican state and has administered its
affairs without scandal. Incidental
ly, he has taken one course which
most particularly draws the finger
nf thft loelc in his direction. He
Is a wet, and would doubtless agree
to the beer and light wines plans of
the wets. But he has enforced tht
Ohio dry laws effectively. Thai will
give democratic drys an excuse, to
stay in their party if he is noirun
ated. Apparently, too, Cox has not
had the ill fortune to acquire Mr.
Bryan's hostility. .
All this makes Cox more nearly a
lncical candidate than democrats
have 'a right to expect of these illog
ical times. He is fifty years old, a
frrvtd residential aee. He was a
farm boy, a fine political asset. His
one perhaps fatal weakness is the
career as printer and newspaper man
which-followed his abandonment of
agriculture. State Journal.
:o: .
MOREHEAD FOR GOVERNOR
'There is one great reason why
Ex-Governor John H. Morehead
should be nomination at this time.
He has served two terms and in both
instances his administrations wet
with approval of the taxpayers of
Nebraska. His many friends were
insistant on his coming out at this
time because he can come nearer
pacifying all factions than any other
candidate could do at the general
election. His record is still fresh
in the memory of the voters of Ne
braska, and they all know he served
to the best interest of the state at
large, and they have the utmost
faith in him doing the same if nom
inaed and elected again. They all
know he is able, conscientious, a
splendid business man and honest as
the day is long. A vote for him is
a vote for the right man for gov
ernor. : . :...-

From Friday's Daily.
Fred Ronne long time resident and
highly respected citizen of Case
county and this community died at
his home in our city about three
o'clock this Thursday morning after
a week of severe illness.
Mr. Itonne went to the train, a
week ago this morning with his eon
Emory and wife who were leaving
for their home in Idaho. Later in
the day Mr. Ronne was taken sick
and his condition became so serious
Emory was caught at Kearney by
wire . and came back. Erneet ot
Lake Cristo, Minn., and Jesse of
Hemingford, Neb., were notified and
reached here the first of the week.
In fact all five boys, the three men
tioned and Roy of Louisville and
Frank from the country besides the
daughter, Mrs. Frank Pankonin,
northwest of town were all with him
in his last days, all the children be
ing present except the daughter Mrs.
E. C. Hammer of Great Falls, Mon
tana, who was unable to come at
the time of receiving the message.
Mr. Ronne commenced farming on
the prairie seven miles northeast of
town almost a half century ago where
he lived and enjoyedj the esteem
and respect of his neighbors until a
few years ago when he retired from
the farm and moved to town, where
he has continued gaining new
friends amonir all with whom he
came in contact.
Funeral arrangements are not
completed on account of word not
yet being received from the daugh
ter in Montana; other than that, ser
vice will be held at the M. E. church
probably Friday or Saturday.
Mr. Ronne was about 78 years old
and leaves to mourn his death beside
the widow, five sons and two daugh
ters a host of long time neighbors
and friends Weeping Water Repub

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
The great benefit derived from the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has been gratefully acknowledged by
many. Mrs. Benjamin F. Blakeney
Decatur, 111., writes, "Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is by far the best
medicine for colds and coughs " we
have ever used in our family. I i;ave
it to my children when small for
croup and have taken it myself."
ST, LUKE'S CHOIR
IS ENTERTAINED
Mesdames J. H. Donnelly and Annie
Britt Entertain at J. H. Donnelly
Home for the Members
From Friday's Dally. -
The members of the St. Luke's
choir were very pleasantly entertain
ed' on Wednesday evening at the
home of Mrs. J. H. Donnelly on
Vine street, with Mrs. Donnelly and
Mrs. Annie Britt as hostesses. The
members of the choir spent some
time in the rehearsing of the num
bers of the church music and then
en joyed. to the utmost the social fea
tures of the evening which consisted
in visiting and in the rendition of
m 9 1 A. 1 1
a numoer oi musical selections oy
the members of the party. One spe
cial feature of the evening was the
solo given by Master Edwin Field,
and which was thoroughly enjoyed
by the party. At a suitable hour
very enjoyable refreshments were
served that brought to a close a most
pleasant evening to all those who
were fortunate enough to be present.
HAD NARROW ESCAPE
From Friday's Dally.
Yesterday when - County Clerk
George R. Sayles was at Union mak
ing the delivery of the election sup
plies he was treatd to an unusual
auto accident. The car in which
Mr. Sayles was traveling was driven
by Ed Creamer and the car had been
working nicely all the way into Un
ion, and as they started to drive up
onto a crossing near the residence
of Rev. W. A. Taylor, one of the
front wheels came off and it re
quired some little time to repair the
damage."

Europe Welcomes The
Ghaiciler Six "
NOW and then you read something about "French style and line" In
automobiles, or perhaps it's "the newest English idea." And some
folks have gone across to get the newest suggestions.
Europe . hasn't built automobiles-for five years and Europe is crying for
new cars and good cars.
America's style is Europe's style now.
The Chandler Six, popular in many other countries for years but kept out
of Europe the past three years because of war-time prohibition of shipments,
is welcomed everywhere in Europe now welcomed for the excellence of its
performance, and quite as much for the beauty of its styles of body.
The Chandler, represented in the British Isles by Messrs. H. G. Burford
& Company, Ltd., of London, was exhibited by that old established English
automotive house, at the great Olympia Motor Show,
end was "quite the sensation of the show" says a London cable.
"Three hundred and seventy Chandlers were sold in two days."
Apparently England is greatly pleased with America's best style In
motor cars.
