WILSON SAYS:
"If you havo approved of my leadership and wish me to continue to be your un-em-barassed
spokesman in affairs at home and abroad I earnestly beg that you will ex
press yourself unmistakably to that effect by returning a democratic majority to both
the Senate and House of Representatives.
If the control of the House and the Senate should be taken away from the party
now in power an opposing majority could assume control of Legislation and oblige all
action to be taken amidst contest and obstruction.
The return of a Republican majority to either House of the Congress would more
over be interpreted on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership."
Democratic Success Means:
The re-election of Nebraska's War
Governor, KEITH NEVILLE. He has faith
fully redeemed his pledges and his exper
ience in coordinating state with Federal
war work is an asset in the prosecution of
the war.
The election of W. H. KA2uVING for
Lieutenant Governor. He is a successful
business man and farmer and is a member
of the State Board of Agriculture and the
State Horticultural Society.
The election of HUGH L. COOPER for
Secretary of state. He has been deputy for
nearly four years and is familiar with the
duties of the office.
The election of .1. S. CANADA Y for
State Treasurer. He has been treasurer of
Kearney county for two terms and is presi
dent of the Farmers' Grain and Live Stock
Association of Nebraska.
The election of EUGENE 1'.
EORD for State Auditor. lie was private
secretary for Ex-Governor Morehead and
has since been engaged in the abstract and
insurance business. His ability and exper
ience qualify him for the office.
The election of GHOItGE W. 1JEIIGK
for Attorney General, lie is a well known
lawyer and his election will place the legal
department in able hands.
The re-election of G. L. S HUM WAY
for Land Commissioner. His record is
above criticism.
The election of VAIW. C. SIMMONS
for Railway Commissioner. lie is an expert
Civil Engineer and is eminently qualified
to render valuable service in this office.
The election of EX-GOVEHNOH
MOREHEAD to the U. S. Senate. No man
is more familiar with the State of Nebraska
and its needs than Mr. Morehead. His ad
ministration as Governor is conceded to bo
one of the most successfull and strictly
business-like the state has ever enjoyed.
He will whole-heartedly support the presi
dent in the prosecution of tho war1 and re
construction measures.
The election of CHAS. POOL to Con
gress from the Gth District;. The president
needs his assistance in congress and his
election will mean that the people of this
district are truly represented in congress.
KEITH NEVILLE
NEBRASKA'S WAR GOVERNOR
Every Pledge Made to the Peoplo Has
Been Fully and Faithfully Redeemed
His re-election will insure, ; whole
