P. 1U HAI.LIGAN,
Republican Cnndldnto for Comity Attorney.
Captain Halllgan was bom In Ognlnllajn 1S87, camo to
North Platto in 1895 whero he has slnco resided. Ho grad
uated from the North Platte High School in 190G; from tho
Academic Department of tho State University In 1910, and
from tho Law Department of tho Stnto University In 1912;
after his graduation ho bocamo associated with tho firm of
' Wilcox and Halllgan and has practiced law In Lincoln
County in connection with that firm up to July 1st, 191C,
when ho enlisted In Company B, Cth Nebraska Infantry,
nnd was by tho company elected Captain, with his company
ho wns mustered into tho United States Army shortly aftor
and was sent to the border whero he is nt tho present
time.
When tho Company wns mustered into tho United
States service it was thought war with Mexico was ln
ovitablo, but It Is now conceded that there will bo no war
with Mexico, and Captain Halllgan Is expected to bo homo
beforo olection.
Tho Nebraska troops aro tho noxt troops in lino to bo
ordered home, and it Is now expectod that thoy will be
sent back not later than November 1st; In any event it
'; may bo stated positively that if elected Captain Halllgan
will be on hand to assumo tho duties of his office January
first, 1917.
Captain Halllgan was appointed County Attornoy-of
Arthur County In 1914 and has acted in that capacity for
that County up to tho present time. Ho had charge of n
case In tho Supremo Court for Arthur County Involving
tho legal existence nnd organization of Arthur County, and
after a hotly contested enso won against distinguished
counsel; and at this tlmo he ban chnrgo of n caso for Ar
. v fhur County in tho Supremo Court Involving a strip of
territory about four mlle3 wldo running the ontlro length
of Arthur County and clnlmcd by both Arthur and Gar
' den Counties.
Should Captain Hnlligan be elected ho will conduct
the legal nffairs of this county without tho county being
put to the expense of hiring extra legal talent to assist
tho County Attorney, a thing which has cost Lincoln Coun
ty large sums in the past.
Furthermore If elected ho will enforce overy law upon
the Statutes Including tho prohibitory nmondmont if tho
.same 1b adopted.
Captain Halllgan Is not hero during tho campaign but
is on the border wearing the uniform of his countjy in
obedience to the call ct the President for men to protect
the border against tho murderous invasion of Mexicans.
Surely tho patriotic people of Lincoln County will con
cede that ho Is excused for not being present In tho cam
paign, and on election day will see to It that his interests
are protected.
