Congressman Sloan, whose senator ial campaign has loomed up progres sively during the last few weeks, of fered this statement durfng the week: "I am in favor of a vigorous prose cution of this war to a triumphant conclusion, and a settlement upon American terms. I believe we should elect a republican senate and house so that the republican party may have its share of the duties, responsibilities and service in the nations affairs at this time, and be in position to cope with and determine the large ques tions that will arise in the years fol lowing the war. I believe that strong and wholesome republican in fluence should be exerted - through congress in the affairs of our govern ment, both in time of war and in time of peace, and this demands the elec tion of a republican senate and house," "Lest we forget," Election Com-I eviiaatistnaa A f "- Vi i A rArri In A c tr r r I that voting -places will be open from 8 a. m. to 8 n. m., in 168 districts of the county.'.

Voters are again urged to vote early but not often. - ' Inadvertently the name of Fred C. Rogers was omitted from the refer ence to the county commissioner con tests in four districts. Mr. Rogers is out for the republican nomination in the First commissioner district. He is well known as a former cigar dealer now in the automobile business.

Every pie must be a 'hunting case" pie, is the word that has gone out from the War Camps Commu nity service, which is sponsoring the movement to see that every mari in uniform gets a pie on Wednesday, August 2$. Further restrictions are that each pie must measure at least 10 inches in diameter, in addition to having a cover. But outside of that, any kind of pie goes, although juicy fruit and berry pies seem to be the preference tf the lads in khaki.

Johnson is a woman whom I have known for years, and one who, I know, possesses knowl edge, judgment, skill, tact and a teaching iexperience of some 14 years. She has ideals and ambition, courage and progressiveness to carry them out. Everywhere she has taught she has made many and lasting friend ships and I feel and know that she as county superintendent of public in struction for Douglas county would be a credit to the county and state." Ernest B. Perry of Cambridge, candidate for. judge of the state su preme court on the nonpartisan tick et, has been receiving encouraging re ports of support all along the line. He has been making a thorough cam paign among "the voters. Abel V. Shotwell, one of the repub lican candidates for county attorney, brought the week to a close with a feeling that he has made satisfactory progress toward nomination on next Tuesday. He states that he has not been aligned with any. "committee" or hand-picked slate, but has gone before the rank and file of the repub lican party for support, which he ex pects to receive. Mr. Shotwell adds that he has stood for 100 per cent re publicanism and has placed the inter ests of the party above any personal amtytion. Friends of L. E. Adams, ' county surveyor, are going out of the way to assure him that they will see that good service is rewarded with another term in office and that his nomination at the primaries Tuesday on the re publican ticket is assured.

Despite published reports that the Ak-Sar-Ben ball had been called off for this year, the matter is still, much "up in the air," and will not be definitely decided until after Mon day night's meeting of the board of governors. Opinion is still divided as to the advisability of holding the affair, and the ball will probably no. be held. Nevertheless no definite ac tion has vet been taken. A less pre tentious ball in the Auditorium may be substituted. All the other Ak-Sar-Ben affairs will be held as usual this year, how ever. The parades will marc,h and the carnival will regale its thoosands as in former year. Aransrements for the carnival grounds on Capitol nve nue have been completd by 'Dad" Weaver.

X JOHN LYNN Republican Candidate for State Representative Your Vote Will Be Appreciated. Thirteen . Years a Resident of Omaha. II oi3 c floss L Candidate for , - i United States Senator To the Voters of Nebraska: . V On Tuesday next, you will vot in the primaries for nominees, and we assume that you 'believe it especially important to select the best available man for United States Senator. To name any other ' to head the ticket would be regrettable to the state at large and dis astrous, perhaps, to the other nominees. ' We, of Fremont, desire to tell you of our esteem for, and our absolute confidence in our neighbor, Mr. Ross L. Hammond. We know him well, for he has lived in Fremont the better part of his mature life. To know a man for a few months or a year is one thing to have lived beside him for twenty, thirty or forty years is quite another. And -some of us have known him for the full two score years. -' . i v .. , Ross Hammond may have his enemies to say otherwise might be a reflection on. his character or his capacity. But he has ten times as many friends neighbors who know him for what he is, and who recognize hjs achievements. It is hinted that certain labor elements are opposing Mr. Hammond, though this seems improbable in view of the fact that Mr. Hammond's manufacturing companies have, in the past years, paid literally millions of dollars in payrolls and these companies are counted among the few successful ones in this section. - .'V'WeiT00 are h's neighbors in Fremont, are happy, therefore, to extend this assurance of our faith in his entire fitness, and our belief that he will be nominated, v If nominated, we shall have high hopes'of.his election, and when he takes hisseat in the Senate of the United States it will he generally conceded, that Nebraska has made too mistake. Ross L. Hammond will be recognized as one that is able, capable and fearless, the peer of any that have honored the high office of Senator from Nebraska, while his unswerving loyalty . to our Nation and its Flag will give pleasure to us all.
