publican party was in the minor
Bartley Nebraska Dear Sir- i ju
I am in receipt of your letter oi progressive cause It seems to me
the 22nd instant asking my tuait ti ought to be a very good
ion in regard to Mr Skalla the reason why other things being
coimtv clerk bcine a progressive equal we should give him our
Republican In reply I will state hearty support The proper thing
that Mr Skalla has from the verj of course in the election of a
beginning been an earnest and county clerk is the qualification
thorough progressive He has al- of the respectivae candidates I
ways been outspoken and emphat think it is an acknowledged fact
ic in his support of progressive that Mr Skalla has made a ree
measures and progressive men I ord as county clerk of which ev
know of one or two standpat Re- ery citizen of Red Willow county
publicans who are bitterly fight- can justly feel proud His ad
ing Mr Skalla for the sole reason ministration of the office it is
that he is known to be a support- conceded by all has been of the
er of Senator LaFollette and that highest character His effieien
he belongs to the progressive cy as county clerk has never been
wing of the Republican party anc exceeded and I think all concede
lias been active in his support of that it has seldom been equaled
progressive principles and if I know of no reason why he
such men should succeed in de- should not receive our hearty and
f eating liim they would enthusiastic support Yours truly

Bert Perry the Republican
nominee for judge of the 14th
district will doubtless receive a
substantial majority in Red Wil
low county There is no point of
comparison with his Democratic
appenent at which he suffers As
a man as a lawyer he stands
well to the front among his fel
lows in the district It is eon
ceded he is well qualified in the
essentials of that office The
election will simply close formal
ly a foregone conclusion Perry
will be the districts next judge
and he will make a good one
An office of large responsibil
ity and of great importance is
the county treasurcrship Large
sums of money are handled thru
the office annually and careful
business methods and conduct are
required all combined with strict
pst honesty Years of office train
ing have prepared Arthur B
Wood for the prompt and suc
cessful conduct of the business
of the treasurership And as to
his integrity that may be left
to any one of his hundreds of
Mends and neighbors McCook
hais been his home since childhood
and testimonials to this young
mans honesty can be secured on
all hands
Judge Moores friends OArer the
county and it Avill be recalled
that in the recent primary elec
tion the judge received a plural
ity over two opponents in a ma
jority of the precincts of the
county are urging his reelec
tion on the substantial grounds
of Ids fitness for the office of
county judge they point Avith
satisfaction to the creditable rec
ord he has already made they
urge too that in guardianship
and adoption matters m the set
tlement of estates etc his judg
ment his integrity his capabil
ities have been proved In view
of these facts they feel tliat
Judge Moore should be retained
in office for another term
