TUi: COFNTY ATTOHNKYSIIIP.
The voters of Hon Butte county will,
at the coining election, vote to elect
a county attorney for the ensuing two
years. This is recognized by all to be
one of the most important offices of
trust within the gift of the people. He
who accepts this position is in con
science bound to protect the peace and
honor of the state so far as the jurisdic
tion of his office extends.
With this end in view, Tin: Hukald
again presents the name of William
Mitchell, the present incumbent, for
the voters' consideration.
At the conventions held last summer
Mr. Mitchell was renominated by ac
alamatiou as an endorsement of his
competency and the faithful discharge
of his duties during his first term as
county attorney. The record of the
candidate in question has been an
honor to our citizenship; due enfoicc
nieiit of law and impartial guardianship
of eveiy interest within the duty of his
official obligation. The criminal record
is an open book and on its pages are
written the verdicts of convictions of
those who would attempt to evade the
penalty of their transgressions. Noth
ing has been left undone to protect the
law and order of Box Butte county.
In every case where evidence proved
guilt the parties have been convicted.
William Mitchell is likewise classed
among the wide-awake, progressive
citizens of the county, Genial, frank
and accommodating, he possesses the
confidence and respect of a wide ac
quaintance. His large majority at the
polls in the past is sufficient evidence
of this fact.
Hence, The Herald whishes again
to reiterate its endorsement of the
candidancy of Win. Mitchell for tho
office of county attorney.
TIIF.Y ARE UF.I.IAIJI.F. MEN.
Hon. Charles F. Coffee of Chadron,
candidate for state senator in tho 14th
district, was an Alliance visitor last
Saturday. Mr, Coffee met quite a
number of business men and ranchers
while here and after discussing
questions of public importance, in
which western Nebraska is vitally in
terested, he was given a great deal of
encouragement irrespective of party
affiliations. Mr. Coffee frankly ex
pressed his ideas and what course he
would pursue in the event of his clec
tion. If his position met the approval
ot those with whom he spoke he would
solicit their assistance at the polls, but
in no instance did he cater for a vote
through misrepresentation. Mr. Cof-
fee is too open and honest a man for
that. He is nil old-time Block
man and like Mr. Robert Graham who
is (i candidate for representative on the
same ticket, has n thorough under
standing of legislation thnt would prove
beneficial to this large class ol heavy
tax pa) cis. Mr. Coffee came to Ne
braska 'way back in '71 and has de
veloped into one or the biggest stock
men in the state. The Chadron Journ
al in its attempt to find fault with
this candidate insinuates that he
has money. This may be true, but wo
can assure the critic that Mr, Coffee's
pecuuiai y success was achieved through
legitimate ctmnncls, and should he be
elected there is no danger of his being
influenced bv financial tips, ns may be
the icsult in other instances, as has
been in the past. Elect Charles F.
Coffee and Robert Graham and they
will be found working in harmony for
the best interests of all in western
Nebinska.
IlitYAN IN INDIANA.
News comes fiom Indiana of tre
mendous meetings being held all over
the state, in which the central figuic
has been Win. J. Bryan. It is evident
that the Nebraska statesman has lost
none of his mngnetism in the east. At
Peru, the 13th insl. Mr. Bryan spoke
to the largest political gathering thrt
ever assembled in that section. Bryan
was jammed thiough the crowd to the
stand and spoke for an hour. After
the speech he said his audience was
one of the most responsive he had talked
to this year. The keynote of the
Pctu speech, as of all the other
speeches Bryan has made was his sin
cerity in his advocacy of the election
of Parker and Davis.
Hon. Geo. V. Bcrge is making a
strong campaign throughout the state,
and his explanations in regatd to the
enormous increase in taxes and expense
during the Mickey administration has
made a decided change in favor of the
people's independent and democratic
candidate.
The admirers of Senator Fairbanks
have become so enthusiastic over the
object of their admiration that they
have already started his boom as
the piesideutinl standard bearer in
1908. It would seem more appropriate
to wait until the present campaign is
over and see how the republican candi
date for second place fares.
In speaking of the Pathfinder canal
meeting, held at Scottsbluff recently,
tho Goring Courier says: "An im
promptu meeting was held at Scotts
bluff early in the week, at which the
agents and engineers of the govern
ment explained something of the Path
finder scheme, Nothing very different
from what has been told from time to
time in the Cornier was given out, but
all elements of doubt were removed as
to the consummation of the project
and the construction of big canals on
each side of the North Platte. The
cost per acre was placed between $25
and $40 per ncic, and it was stated
that the land owners would be expect
ed later on to organize themselves so
as to make contracts with Uncle Sam,
as has been the custom in previous
schemes of this kind. An agent of the
government will be here later on to
hike up this phase of the matter."
