HOMER SYLVESTER
Candidate for Re-Election to Office of
COUNTY SHERIFF
Your present Sheriff . . . with a fine law enforcement
record that justifies your vote and his re-election Nov. 6.
Made 122 arrests in 1933 on which con
victions were secured without one cent of
trial cost to Cass county.
In the 23 months of his holding office, his
expenses were approximately $648.00 less
than his predecessor over the same period
of time.
In these 23 months the number of arrests
made were almost three times as many as
were made by his predecessor.
If you favor continuation of this efficient handling of
the Sheriff's office, cast your vote for Homer Sylvester.
Attorney 0. W.
Ownes Speaks on
Repeal Question
Well Known Opponent of Repeal of
Nebraska Dry Law, Heard at
Methodist Church.
A large audience heard one of the
most enlightening and comprehen
sive addresses on the question of pro
hibition at the First Methodist
church. Sunday night that has ever
been delivered in this city in re
cent years. Attorney O. V. Ownes
speke in no uncertain tone of the
menace of the liquor traffic, its law-Jessac-si;
even when legalized, its de
bauchery of til who came in contact
with it, and backed up every state
ment with proof, in many instances
taken from the liquor dealer's own
oumn!s. ie predicted that the or
ganized liquor traffic's insane greed
for money, it3 unscrupulous tactics
would eventually and inevitably
bring about its outlawry again by
common consent of the people ol
this great country. He also hit the
proposed amendment to the state con
stitution to legalize horse racing and
gambling. In Mr. Ownes opinion the
lifting of the ban on gambling would
be worse than the return of liquor
in the state, for it would lead to
the bankruptcy of the people. Mr.
Ownes is a fine orator and held the
attention of the audience for almost
an hour. He gave much encourage
ment and cited many things that
point to a hopeful outlook for the
dry cause.

RECEIVES SENTENCE
Adolph Runs, Avoca man, was un
able to explain to Judge Livingston
Friday, says the Nebraska City News
Press, why he stole chickens from
the farm of Mrs. Augusta Freuden
burg two weeks ago. He pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to from one
year to 15 months in the Nebraska
penitentiary.
The charge of burglary lodged
against him in district court was his
first felony, although he told the
court he has served time in Cass
county.
In Cass county, Kunz told the
court, he was "talked into" pleading
guilty to a charge of chicken steal
ing when in reality he didn't get the
fowls.
"Were you talked into pleading
guilty today?" he was asked by
Judge Livingston.
"No." he said.
Kunz is separated from his wife,
but he told the court he supports
his 11-year-old child.
"Kow did you happen to steal the
chickens?" the defendant w as asked.
"Well, sir, I don't know," he re
plied. Kunz was "dressed in" at the peni
tentiary Saturday. He was arrested
only Friday morning.

cessing tax that is bothing so many.
How only a short time ago, hogs
were selling at 2c a pound, now Cc
and $5 a head to pay the tax if the
producer is paying the tax. Twc
years ago corn was 10c a bushel
now the corn is on the farm and the
poor man has the opportunity of a
raise in price, heretofore it was in
the hands of speculators.
