KEITH WANTS ON
BOTH PARTIES
Cody Mail, Editor of Cody Cowboy,
Want to File for Nomination aa
Democrat and Republican
F. Kemp Keith, of Cody, has filed
for the republican nomination for
state Senator from the Twenty-eighth
ditsrtct. In a letter to Secretary of
State Walt, be asks if he can file as
a democratic Condldate. Secretary
f State Wait writes back stating If
twenty-five democrats file a petition
asking that his name be placed on
the ballot, and If he files an accept
ance saying that he will affiliate with
the democratic party, It will be pos
sible for him to become a candidate
for the' democratic nomination.
Although It is quite common for
democrats and populists to exchange
candidates in this manner, adn for
the republicans and progressives to
do so, it is decldingly out of the ord
inary for a republican to offer his
affiliation to the democratic party.
Keith is a merchant at Cody and Is
also the editor of a newspaper there
known as the Cody Cowboy. Lin

INSPIRING SI0
CAREER OF CLAY CENTER JURIST
FROM HIS BOYHOOD.
MAY BE NEXT SUPREME JUDGE
State-wide Fame Came to Him When
Ha Championed the Code
Insurance Bill.
An inspiring story!
Readers of these lines oan reach
no other concluson if they will fol
low briefly the career of the Hon.
Harrison C. Palmer, of Clay Center,
the first name to be filed with tlie
secretary of state for chief Justice of
the supreme court, under our new
non-partisan judiciary law.
"Truth," says lxrd Byron, "is
stranger than fiction." And surely
the life of Judge Palmer, which now
promises to round itself out with the
highest honors in the gift of the
state, well verifies the great poet's
famous epigram.
Not that his life "oas been one of
thrills and adventure. Indeed, there
is a dearth of the picturesque and
ensational with which fiction
crams the story books. Judge Pal
mer is not yet Blxty years old, but he
has won a position among hh fel
low men in spite of any disadvantage
of birth, environment and opportun
ity.
Forty Years in Nebraska.
Although a resident of Nebraska
for forty years, and a brother of the
well known and late lamented Can
tain H. E. Palmer of Omaha, the Clay
Center Jurist waa scaroely known
state-wide until at tJe last session of
the state legislature, when he dls
tingulahed himself as a leader of un
usual ability and character.
His amazing capacity for hard
work, his ready grasp of all problems,

ciples, his cogent nusoiing, his tide).
! if lo luti moral side of every ques
i his contempt for partisanship
when It was wrong and his unfailing
hindlinees and courtesy for all with
whom he came in contact, won him
i laurels w'jlch would greatly honor
any name anywhere.
His Legislative Career,
i A generous volume might be writ
, ten of Judge Palmer's service to
Nebraska at the last legislative see
1 sion. It was truly said that he put in
more hours than any other member.
He never in i used a committee meet
ing. He was never absent from roll
call. And he never dolged a ques
tion. He was early in his seat in the
house chamber, and was at the night
meetings until the committee was
tired out.
Judge Palmer was aa pronouncably
! unfriendly to special-privilege Inter-
eats as he was friendly to tnose un-
ranritiinntM) internets known as the
i MA. 1
"under dog." He was stern, frank Palmer adjudicated disputes and set
and vigorous in dealing with that leg-1 tied controversies for his neighbors,
islatlon backed by large lobbies. This J "Jt for the pleasure of it." and it is
was manifest In his attitude towards said he never saw the sordid side of
the telephone, insurance, railroad and ! the business. Yet, he was always
anti-discrimination measures, in all
of which he was a leading figure.
Judge Palmer's Befct Work.
Jiulge Palmer's greatest work was
done on the code insurance bill. He
led the fight for tbla measure in thn
house and lined up its support in the
senate. He was its general manager,
chief director and first sponsor. He
drew many of its amendments,
watched it like a hawk and passed
on every syllable of It until it waa
threshed out. And this law, which
the supreme court uanimously nays
la sound, after It has run the whole
gamut of violent persecution by the
best legal talent. in the state, may M
credited specially to the wisdom,
the couutaiicy aoid the diligence of
one man Judge Palmer of Clay Cen
ter. Next to the insurance bill, Jud?'
I 'a! mer gave most serious attentio
to the Workmen's Compensutioi
measure. The tremendous content
over this bill is little known outaide
the legislature. At one juncture,
when a certain provision favorable to
workingmeu waa about to be dropped
from the bill by consent of both

ides, Judge Palmer arose in the Ju
diciary committee and protested.
This la unfair to labor, a surren
der to the interests, and if you don't
put that back there 1 will fight you to
a finish," he declared. And the
provision waa put back.
A Newspaper Opinion.
The Omaha Dally News, which
watched the legislators closely, inad
resume of their work at the close of
the session, and on April 25, 1913,
oad this to say of Jilge Palmer:
"H. C. Palmer. Clay Center At
torney: Voted for submission of
an easier method to amend the
constitution; the recall, tax re
form, woman suffrage, reduction
of telegraph rates, the Keckley
rate bill, the corporation tax, the
Omaha water district bill, the in
surance code and other important
measures Supported the uniform
bridge bill and devoted much time
to the new Insurance code. Dis
covered two 'Jokers' in the first
Workmen's Compensation act that
were against the Interest of the
workman and forced them to be
corrected. Made a hard fight for
reform in Judicial procedure. Only
progressive measure he opposed
was the calling of a constitutional
convention. Was one of the iiaird
est working members in the
house. A STRONG PROGRESS
DVE." His Early Life.
Judge Palmer came into being on a
farm near Baraboo, Wis., April 27,
1854. Four boys and eix girls were
members of that family. When two
older brothers went to war, Harrison
worked for bis father at home, being
put 8 years old. He bad little school
ing, and when 17 years old his thirst
for knowledge led him to accept an
opportunity to work for his board and
go to school. He had just finished
the branches then taught when he
oame to Nebraska, in March, 1874. He
worked on a farm and taught school
during the winter months. He waa
married April 27, 1879, to Miss Emma
A. Corey, daughter of Alonzo A,
Corey, a respected pioneer, who as
sisted in the organization of Clay
county.
Admitted to Practice.
He was admitted to the bar In 1895,
by Judge William G. Hastings, and
j practiced in Sutton with Frank Hawk
and E. E. Hairgrove. Two years la
ter he was elected county Judge,
which position be held for twelve
consecutive years, retiring to the
practice of law in Clay Center.
Ju'.lge Palmer is a member of the
Congregational church. Politically,
he is a democrat. During his dozen
years on the county bench, Judge
Palmer became something of an au
thority on prooate law. vni!' a
large number of c.i -s were un ta'od
from hw court, not one tse was ever
reversed by a higher couit. His
friends are proud of his record.
Fit for the "Huntings."
If a judicial campaign rewirt-d
candidates to go out on the hunting,
then Judge Palmer would measure
swords with any man that might
choose to get Into the contest. A
ready, fluent and earnest speaker, he
has also a superb physique and s
the picture of physical health and
activity.
He Loved the Law.
How well Judge Palmer loved the
study of law is shown by his early
days when working on a farm. It be-
! came the custom for farmers for
' miles around to come to the place
j where he was employed and get in for-
mation with regard to legal problems.
Even then he showed a Judicial tem
perament, and he read everything in
sight. Many is the time young
frugal, and in 1881 he bought a farm
near Sutton, upon which he resided
for ten years when he went into town
to practice law.
A Fine Personality.
With a strong personal magnetism.
Judge Palmer draws to him frier!
who remain loyal. To physical en
dowments of personal dignity and
charm of manner are added those fine
qualities of mind and heart which are
resistless. Of dauntless courage.
thusiaru, his life has been one of
unusual activity, good works, good
deeds aud worthy achievements. It
has been one of lofty aims, high
ideals and earnest endeavor, backel
by ability, integrity and common
sense. It has been one of frankness,
candor and strict adherence to the
golden rule. His actions were visible
to the world, his motives transpar
ent and his sentiments unconcealed.
His record Is blameless.
And now, at the meridian of his ca
reer, Harrison C. Palmer finds him
sell in line for high honors, wall-
earned, as his liftory prove It U
;n Inspiring atory.
