PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEL32 - J7EEKL Y JCTEENAL 507. ?, (rolltlcal Advertising:) (Political Advertising) I The Republican state committee has sent to every box hclder m Nebraska a paper entitled "WHO PAYS." The paper h filled with grcss misrepresentations and untrue statements cf fact and is sent out for the purpose of deceiving the voters. The paper says Nebraska is spending mere money now to run the state g:vcnunent than ever before. The fact is there has been a reduction of $2,971,832.52 under Bryan, and there would have been twice as much, if he had had a legislature in sympathy with his tax reduction pro gram. The total taxes levied under Bryan in 1831 and 1932 are 1931 ...... . $6,393,935.93 ' 1932 35,974,772.32 Under Governor Weaver: 1929 1930 . $7,879,328.60 .$7,461,203.57 The paper put cut by the Republican committee says Bryan spent six million dollars mere than Weaver in 1931. The above figures refute the charge. The paper says the cent cf operating the state government in 1931 was $28,205,678.17. The truth is the cost of operat ing the state government, exclusive of toad building in 1931, was $0,333,835.93. This i3 the only money that 5s raised by a tax on property. The federal government matched the gaso-. line fund and in addition the government appropriated five million dollars to build highways and aid unemployment in Nebraska. This did not come cut of the gas fund and does not have to be repaid. The parer says there will be a deficit of $2,100,000.00. The stcte tax commissioner, W. H. Smith, says: "THEKE IS NO-DEFICIT and sufficient taxes have been levied to meet the appropriations, as all the members of the State Board of Equa lization will testify." A majority cf the Board is made up of republican state officers, to-wit: Secretary of State, Auditor and Treasurer. The paper intimates that Governor Brypji uses the state shertJ'3 car for campaign purposes. That is a false statement. He does not. He uses his own car. He has used the ttatc car only when he has been on the state's business, attending a read cr bridge dedication or when he has represented the state at county fairs. The paper says the Governor led depositors in failed bank3 to believe they would get their money. One cf the Governor's first acts when he took office was to order the collection cf bank assessments to pay depositors. The banks went into ccurt and enjoined him. The case went to the United States Supreme ccurt, where the state wen. The Governor then made another attempt and again the banks went into court. The last case, known as the "Hubbell Bank case," was argued cn October 17th, and a decision should be had scon. Bryan has had hi3 hands tied by a republican legisla ture and a republican, attorney general. Help him by giving him a democratic legislature and democratic state officials. - The paper says: "Let's substitnt 5ork benches for reck ing chairs in the Governor's office." The recking chairs and the expensive rugs that the re publican candidate for Governor has been charging Governor Bryan with buying, were bought by the capitol commission in 1S25 when McMullen was Governor and were in the office during both the HcMulIen and Weaver administrations.

Your Support on November 8th Will Be Appreciated Judge Jamea T. Begley, i3 a candi date for re-election as judge of tne Second judicial district at the elec tion to bq held on November S, 1932. Judge Begley was reared on a farm in Sarpy county and is a graduat of tho public echool3 and the stale university. He began the practice of law at Papillion and has held many offices of public trust with distinc tion and honor. He served as city attorney at Papillion in an able manner, and among other thing3, he had passed and enforced an ordinance prohibit ing tho holding of public dance3 in any building in wnicn a saioon wa3 located. This was the first ordinance cf its kind in the state. Ho served as county judge for five years and then retireu from pucne life. However, he was soon recalled by a petition cf the voters to serve as county attorney in cleaning up the criminal element then infesting the county. As county attorney he vigorously enforced the law prohibiting the calo of intoxicating liquor "within two and one-half miles of a Fort, for the first time in its history. lie was of fered a bribe of $250.00 per month to permit bootlegging, and prosecuted and convicted the offender. His vigorous and fearless prose cutions cna his wise handling of the county's affairs, attracted the atten tion of Governor Morehead, and In 1913 he was appointed to fill a va cancy on the district bench, a posi tion he ha3 held without opposition for several years. As district judge ho has won a reputation for ability, honesty and impartiality. He ha3 dispensed with red tape and yet maintained the dig nity of his office. He was the first judge in this district to permit juries to separate for the night and recon vene for deliberation o nthe follow ing morning. He has appointed at toTncysr iij ; rotation anA, ppt. pi tical preferment, lie saves time by personally examining jurors on voir dire examination. His services have been in demand in other districts and on the Suyrem bench. lie has sat on the bench in sixteen counties outside his district Ho was the first distirct judge call ed to sit as a member of the Supreme Court under the recent law. He has frequently sat as a member of the Supreme Court and has written some fifty opinions and has taken part in about two hundred others. Many new laws have been enacted during hi3 tenure cf office and have been interpreted by him. He ha taken a leading part in interpreting the Bank Guarantee-act, the prohi bition law, the workmen's compensa tion law, and the juvenile law and others. He has made three important in terpretations of the liquor act. Name ly, in permitting evidence of smell to be received instead of the liquors themselves; in holding that search warrants could be issued on infor mation and belief; and in holding that a mortgage lien on an automo bile was lost when the car was con fiscated while being used for illegal transportation of liquor. He was in strumental in securing this amend ment to the liquor law. He has had much experience in interpreting the rights of depositors under the Bank Guarantee Fund act He has at present several banks In the course of liquidation by receiver ship under hia direction. These are being administered with satisfaction to depositors, creditors and the state department. Within a year a deter mination of the rights ot hundreds of thousands of dollars will be deter mined and hi3 experience will be a valuable asset to those interested therein. He disposes of cases quickly and with certainty. He has tried and dis posed of as many as three jury cases in one day. By thi3 means he saved many thousands of dollars to liti gants and taxpayers In a year. No private corporation changes its officers because of length of service, but only for superior qualifications. Tho same rule should apply to pub lic officers. A plea for a change of public officers without claim or merit, Is the appeal of the demagogue. Judgo Begley has always taken a prominent part in civic affairs. He served two terms as president of the Chamber of Commerce at Platts mouth and at present is a member of the board of directors. Largely through his efforts the Masonic Home new Infirmary costing1 $125,000 was erected. During the World war he was chairman of the Cass county chapter of the Red Cross and supervised the collection of funds for the relief of the soldiers in the war. He devised a system fgr the payment of only the quota called for and retained the balance for home work. The result was that at the close of the war, Cass chapter had several thousand dollars in its treasury which has since been used to help the needy veterans and others, and Cass county ha3 since been usod to help the needy veterans and other3, and Cass coun ty ha3 not been called upon to raise a cent for these purposes. He ah:o organized and was chair man of the War Relief committee whereby all money wa3 . fairly and equitably collected and dispersed for all war relief purposes. He is a mem ber of the American Legion building committee at Plattsmouth. Judge Begley'3 record in all pub lic offices has been outstanding, lie has always protected the peoples' in terests and administered the affairs cf his office with fearlessness and expedition. If his past record meets with your approval, he will appre ciate your assistance and vote at tne polls on November 8, 1932.

It is he you must trust to guard and protect the interest and welfare of your loved ones. You have a ier' sonal interest in the election of a County Judge who has had actual legal training and experience in the practice of probate law, who is incorruptible, fearless and yet whose "heart beats in human sympathy," and who will extend every kindness, courtesy and thoughtful consideration to your dependent family when they appear in the County Court to settle your estate, and who will protect their property interests according to law.
