NORTH PLATTE NEB., NOVEMBER 7, 1919.
No. 86
HEELER AM) LUTE AUK
ELECTED AS DELEGATES
J. G. Heeler and II. D. Lute wore
elected as delegates to tho constRu
tlonl convention which meets In Lin
coln December 2d. Mr. Beolor defeat
ed his opponont, W. V. Hoagland, us
dologato from this county by 231 ma
jority, and Mr. Lute's majority over
W. T. Wilcox In tho lloat district com
posed of Dawson, Lincoln and Keith
counties Is 400. Tho vote cast Tues
day was loss than one-half tho normal,
voting strongth of tho county, tho vote
in North Platte being particularly
light. Somo effort was mndo to got;
out the city voto but hundreds of the
TotcrB refused to go to the troublo of
walking to the polls. In some of the
country precincts tho voto was rea
sonably heavy, while In others it was
extremely light. In precincts where
tho non-partisan leaguo is strong. Mr.
Luto received almost a solid voto,
though wo do not understand that ho
is a member of that organization.
The fact that Mr. Wilcox received so
small a majority in his own county is
evidence that from this time forward
tho farmers will quite generally sup
port farmer candidates, and prospect
ive candidates for county offices may
well bear this in mind. Tho spread of
union labor organizations has aroused
in tho farmer tho belief that the farm
ers, too, muBt hold together as far as
posslble Wo have no fault to find'
with them for so doing if they do not
get too radical.
Tho canvassing board met last even-,
ing and found tho voto to bo as fol-j
lows:
Total voto cast 1GG1'
W. V. Hoagland Oil'
J. O. Beelor : 8421
w. T. Wllcor 828
H. D. Luto 748
Win. Ebright, who w;as defeated
for the nomination for delegato re
ceived 112 votes.
Tho total vote cast In North Platte
was E02. By wards tho vote was:
First 142, Second 123, Third 150.
Fourth 87.
Tho Red Cross Cnmpnlgn. i
Tho Red Cross membership cam-j
palgn in North Platte is going" for- j
ward In a very satisfactory manner,'
and up to last evening tho total had
reached nearly 1800. In the last cam-1
palgn the memberships secured In'
North Platte reached, In round num-!
bors, 2700. It was not expected that
that llguro would be reached In the'
prosont campaign, largely because a'
goodfrinany do not now consider It aj
putridtlc duty -to support the Rod.
Cross. This, however, Is not tho view
to take, for Red Cross work, slnco It'
has taken on tho home service feature
more oxtonBlvoly, Is Just as necessary
as during the war.
It should bo remembored that one-
half the membership dues paid In Lin
coln county is retained by the Lincoln
County Chaptor for local home service
work, which will In tho near future
Include tho services of n registered
nurse. The home sorvlco section hnsj
already done much good work in the
county, and the work Is just getting
startod. Wo look upon this Rod Cross
homo service as the greatest movo
that has ever been made for tho good!
of communities, and in Lincoln coun
ty it Is certain to prove of Inestimable
value.

Ihu dispute between the nation's
bituminous coal mine operators und
union milium, which has resulted In
virtual cessation of production
throughout the country, Thursday re
mained ueadlocked. Leuders of both
producers and miners agreed that tho
tlaut retusul ot the department of

tlement ot the strike.

whether tho coal will reach thiH city
