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.
HELP GOVERNOR BRYAN HELP YOU BY
REDUCING STATE TAXES STILL FURTHER.

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.

"A SACRED PUBLIC TRUST"
Aptly Defines the Duties of Your County Judge
When you answer "the summons of death," the disposi-y
tion of all your property comes under the jurisdiction of the
County Judge. 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.
Upon this basis, I respectfully and earnestly ask for your
vote on November 8th.

County Judge Cass County.
