Sf His,, VOL. NO. XLVm PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, OCT. 31, 1932. NO. 79 Deception Used in the Campaign Against Bryan Seal Truth of Matter Shows State ments to Be Far from the Actual Facts. Candidate for governor, Griswold, .a going over the state basing his campaign upon misrepresentations and deception. There are numerous instances wherein he has attempted to reflect upon Governor Bryan by this method. While the general pub lic know the truth, some might poe Elbly be deceived. Here are some of his tactics: 1. He states in most of his speeches that the governor's office is fumfsn cd and carpented with rugs which cost sixty dollars a yard (sometimes he says sixteen dollars) and asks the audience if any of them can afford that "kind of rug. He then asks the question "Who bought the rug3?' and answers it by saying, "The Cap itol Commission," then he says, "Who is the Capitol Commission?" and an swers "Bryan, the State Engineer, W. H. Thompson, and Hardy, all democrats." He leaves the impres sion that Bryan was on the Capitol Commission when the rugs were bought.' As a matter of fact, the rugs were purchased during Adam McMullen's first term, and have been in the office ever since. 2. He then charges the governor with using the state sheriff's armored car in making his campaign and tells the crowd that the taxpayers are paying the governor's campaign ex penses. As a matter of fact the gov ernor has net used the state car in making political speeches. He did use it a few times before the cam paign opened, when he went to dedi cate a new bride or to attend a road celebration or & county fair, a3 the guest of the county, but he has not used it for political purposes. Gris wold leaves the impression that he used it in his campaign tour and suggests that the taxpayers pay the gasoline bills. 3. Griswold charges that the gov ernor has not reduced taxes and to prove it he produces a statement from the county treasurer of Lan caster county, showing that Bryan's taxes on two farms in 1930 were 1632.00 and in 1931 $636.00. He does not tell them that a school house wa3 fcuilt in one of the ditsricts which greatly increased the school tax and he doesn't differentiate by separating the state tax from the county and school tax. Governor Bryan is making a clean, open campaign, ignoring all personalities which are injected by Griswold. He considers that the people are more interested in know ing the facts about what is being done on their behalf throughout the state and not in trying to tear down his opponent. It i3 quite evident to everyone that any person can criti cise and attempt to tear down but it takes a man of constructive ability to keep things in the building-up process. At this time, more than at any other, the state needs a gover nor who can do the greatest amount of constructive work at the least pos sible expense. Governor Bryan has given such an administration.

Resurfacing Old Detour Road West of Murray Highway Now Used to Serve to Con nect "0" Street ard Red Ball Highway to Be Resurfaced County Commissioner G. Li. Farley was out in the vicinity of Murray today, driving there to look after the resurfacing of the highway from No 1, the Red Ball highway, south to Nehawka. This roadway was surfaced orig inally Ly the state and federal high way departments when the paving on No. 75 was being laid.

The work is now Deing car ried out and the road will be in ex cellent shape from the Red Ball road south into Nehawka and to connect with the "O" street .road ''south of that place. The residents of that Beetion of the county are well pleased that the surfacing work is being undertaken and that their road will not be al lowed to lapse back into the former unsurfaced condition, jit makes a shorter route to Murray, Plattsmouth and Omaha for the residents of that section.

Platters-Auburn Tie in a Hard Fought Game Score of Six to Six in Contest With Bulldogs from Nemaha Coun ty Here Wednesday. The Auburn Bulldogs and the Plattsmouth high school football team battled AVednesday to a 6 CD 6 tie in a game which was hard fought by both teams, the scores being largely from breaks of the battle. The Auburn score was made possible by the penalty imposed on the locals by Referee Place of Nebraska City, while the Platter score was due to the snatching of a pass from the air bv Lawrence "Dusty" Rhodes and racing into the enemy territory. The Plattsmouth team did some SDectacular tackling against the heavier aggregation of Auburn, wear ing down the power of the visitors. Arn was one of the high spots in tackling as was Ronne and Arm strong. The scoring of Auburn was in the second quarter of the game when a thirty yard run by Auburn brought the ball into the Plattsmouth terri tory, another line smash by the visi tors for a first down and then the Platters drew a five yard penalty which also gave the visitors another first down. The visitors then with their claver spinners through the line, brought the ball to the Plattsmouth ten yard line. - Bohl, half of the visi tors, carried the ball to the locals four yard line and where the Platter defense held on the first play "for a no gain for Auburn. Ely then plung ed the local line for the touchdown. The try for point was blocked by Hirz and the score was 6 Co 0 for Auburn. " ,. It was not until the third quar ter that things commenced to pick up for the locals, they being able to twice turn Auburn back from the Plattsmouth goal, once when the dis tance was inches and the other when the visitors needed but a few feet. The Platters tied the game in the last quarter, the march starting in a few moments after the first play of the quarter. With Plattsmouth in possession of the ball, Arn smasnea through the visitors line for two suc cessive plays that netted a first down for the local3. Hirz gathered up five yard's around the end and then Ronne plunged for another first down for the Platters. Arn again attacked the visitors line and succeeded in gain ing but the Platters were finally forced to kick. Hirz was rushed and the kick blocked and the ball in Auburn's possession on the forty yarB line. Ely for the visitors tried the line for a gain of two yards. The turning point of the game then came when Auburn flipped a pass that was Intended for Ely, but instead "Dusty" Rhodes was in the path and grabbing the ball -was away for a twenty yard dash around his own right end and the ball was back in the mid field. Arn then electrified the crowd when he tore through the visitors line and was away, yard after yard melting away until in a last desperate grab the Auburn safety was able to check the Platter player, who had picked up forty yards on the play, the ball being on the Auburn ten yard line. Plattsmouth tried the visitors line for no gain. Hirz was then sent around the visitors right end and the clever Platter half back stepped as he ha? never gone before to gain the goal line and when tackled was just over the coveted . stripe that spelled tie. A bad pass to Armstrong pre vented his kicking and he was forced to try a run for the extra point, but without success. The game was drawing to the close with both teams not making any ex tensive gains and at the final whistle the Platters had kicked on their fourth down from the visltore forty yard line.
