Harman of HoldreRe. candidate or the democratic and pen pies Independent part let for state rail wn v oinmlssloner. was in Alli ance Tuesday forenoon getting tic qua lilted us best he could III such n short atay. It Is but fair to say that Mr Harman made a very favor able Impression upon voters whom he met here. He believes thoroughly in democratic principles and pledget himself to promote the same to the bci of his ability Kor many years he has been a traveling salesman, and like commercial travelers gener ally be is thoroughly posted on pre Mil day issues and is well qualified to fill the office for which he hits been nominated, and to which he will in all probability be elected There Is I strong feeling that the western Mirt of Nebraska should have more of a representation among the state officers than it has been having. This fact, coupled with Mr. Harmnn's popularity, his acknowledg ed qualification for the position of st;ite Railway commissioner, and the htltbef fact that thta Is a democrat Ic. year. Insure him a large vote in this part, of the state. Hy order of the county commit eioners, a notice is being published In The Herald, for an election to vote on the proposition to bojid Box Butte county for 176,000, .for the "erection, construction and furnish ing; of a court houae". A court house with more room than the pres ent building affords and with better protection for the county -ords Is badly needed, and In the opinion of The Herald should be built without unnecessary delay, but If bonds are voted for that purpose we hope It will be with the consent of a majority of the voters thruout the entire county. We do not feel dis posed to rush thru any such proposi Hon without due consideration by the voters concerned. Whether or not there shall be a new court house constructed within the next year It a QUSSttOS for them to de cide, and we trust that they Will give the matter careful consideration before election day. Our opinion Is thai practically the entire county favors t new court hoot, hut whetb i r the county shall be bonded for $7fc.00(i for that purpose It also a question for the voters to settle. We are willing to abide by the de clslon of the majority, but are sine M will ie for the good of uVH lanes basin, sh interests to have the co-opera tioa and good will of the country precincts, whatever may be de id mJ upon in the matter.
