To the Voters of Red Willow County
We the Democratic Central committee of this county presuming that all tax
payors and voters aro interested in those things that concern tho common good
have taken this opportunity of calling your attention through tho public press
to a few facts of interest in connection with the coming county election
As everyone doubtless knows all candidates on tho various tickets wero nomi
nated under the new primary election law which was in effect for the first time
this year and tho noxt duty of the voting public is to elect nil county officers for
the ensuing term Being firm believers in tho fact that publicity is the best aid
in determining the character or qualifications of any person we wish you the
public to know who these candidates are and what they stand for
Inasmuch as you are a tax payer of this county it is absolutely essential that
you know the moral and mental calibre of tho persons for whom you cast your
vote You follow this line of action in all your personal business deals that is to
say before buying any chatties or piece of merchandise you must first know tho
quality or intrinsic value of that for which you pay and why should you not be
equally careful in choosing the men to who you entrust both tho expenditure of
public funds and the administration of public affairs
It is a reflection upon a mans intelligence to say that he votes blindly and
without consideration or that he votes not at all To sum up tho matter plainly
You are paying for something and the question is do you know what you are
getting It matters not whether youpbe fanner merchant salaried man or laborer
you are compelled to pay tax either real or personal and the question which every
good citizen asks himself on election day Am I going to cast my vote in the in
terests of a favored few or for the general welfare of my county
Wo believe the candidates under our standard to he honest intelligent and
decent and know that each and every one is a factor for good in his home com
munity They are seeking office with the one idea of rendering to the county a
clean economic administration We have no desire to further the interests of our
party by depreciating or maligning any candidate of the opposition but we do
claim the right of asking you to enquire into the qualification of those seeking
office
We trust that you will not only go to the polls on November 5th but ask that
you mark your ballot with the same care that you exercise in the management of
your personal affairs
The constitution of the United States assures you a vote in national state
county and local affairs and regardless of your past or present political affilia
tions we respectfully ask your support for the following candidates

How Deacon Morlan Received The Title
Most of us know W S Morlan pretty
well and know that he is familiarly re
ferred to as Deacon Morlan yot there
are but few pepple know how he
title of Deacon In an early
day he lived at Arapahoe and during
his residence there was n pennrmiq nnn
tributor to the support of one of tho
churches In those days it was hard
work to raise the money necessary to
pay the preacher and this particular
church had a good minister who after
a hard struggle in behalf of the spirit
ual welfare of the little community
accepted a call to another church
When they came to settle up and pay
him off it devolved upon Mr Morlan to
foot the big end of the bill
The church was without a pastor
for some time but finally another one
was secured He arrived in Arapahoe
one afternoon in the summer time and
of course hunted up Mr Morlan to talk
over things and got acquainted Ho
first went to the house and his wife
informed him that he would find Mr
Morlan at the church mowing down
the grass and weeds which had grown
wild for some time He went to the
church and sure enough there was
Mr Morlan in his shirt sleeves working
as hard as a harvest hand The min
ister made himself known and in the
course of the conversation remarked
that he supposed Mr Morlan was a
christian and belonged to the church
and was perhaps one of the deacons
to which he replied no he thought the
church belonged to him Tho incident
became known and since that time it
is said he has worn the title of Deacon
when spoken of by his closest friends
and acquaintances Holdrege Citizen
