Of Western Nebraska is hard on paint and it is al
most money burned to use an inferior quality when
painting your house. The best paint is by far the
cheapest in the end.

Kinkaid Nominated.
Moscb P. Ktnkaid was nominated
for congress last Friday at the re
publican convention held at Craw
lord. Thc'contcat waa long drawn
out, the successful candidate receiv
ing the nomination on the 177tli
ballot. The candidates before the
convention were Kinkaid, Currie,
Grimes, Becman, Darr and Cady.
Ktnkaid on the informal ballot re
ceived acventy-Btx votes, Currie
torty-lour, Grimes thirty-eight, Bee
man nineteen, Darr thirteen, Wall
eight, On the first formal ballot
the Wall votes went to Grimes, but
the following 125 ballots allowed
but little change, the several ad
journments taken during that time
being fruitless so far aa combina
tions were concerned. Dawson
county finally gave its thirteen
votes to Grimes, and later an agree
ment wbb entered into between the
Grimes, Becman, Cady and Darr
torccB to cast live solid ballots for
each of those candidates with the
hope that one of them mi); lit be
able to get enough votea from the
Ktnkaid and Currie forces to nomi
nate. This combine tailed to win,
as the forces of the other two candi
dates would not break and the only
result was to give Grimes and the
other candidates a vote of eighty
eight which was sixteen short of
the necessary number. Buffalo and
Dawson counties announced their
intention ot voting tor Kinkald
which they did on the 177th ballot
and this gave Kinkaid more than
a majority of all votes cast. Great
enthusiasm prevailed at the conclu
sion of the contest, and speeches of
good feeling and loyalty were made
by Grimes, Beeman, Cady, Darr
aud Currie. The Grimes and Currie
forces remained with their candi
dates to the last.
Judge Grimes had the loyal sup
port of Lincoln, Keith, Deuel, Kim
ball, Sherman and Banner couuties
from start to finish, and one-half
the voles ot Cheyenne comity. The
delegates trom these counties made
a hard and honorable fight tor their
favorite, but could not break into
the Kinkaid and Currie ranks.
