Teddy gets 343 electoral votes; the
judge 133.
< • ►
A pretty close estimate on Judge
Klnkaid’s majority puts it at 7,000.
The democratic Paplllion Times
gets some comfort out of the fact that
“Parker received a much smaller vote
than did Bryan In either of his cam
paigns.’’
Missouri republicans are the most
jubilant in the nation. They carried
the state for Roosevelt and elected a
republican legislature. Missouri has
taken a stand politically where it
always did belong geographically, and
the west welcomes it into the circle
of push and progress.
Whether it came from a populist
source or from whence, The Frontier
can not say. At any rate the early
election returns telephoned down
from the usually stalwart republican
stronghold of Atkinson gave the
fusion candidate for county attorney
eighty-one majority. It was publish
ed this way, but was entirely errone
ous as our republican brethem up
there gave Mr. Benedict a majority of
fifty-five.
The acqusation of the beatten, dis
gruntled and routed democrats that
“the railroads did it,” is an insult to
the many thousands of Nebraska
voters who emphatically spoke in
favor of republicanism last Tuesday.
Democracy will never make any votes
or any friends by accusing the voters
and taxpayers of being the tools of the
railroads. The average voter makes
up his mind pretty quick what he
wants and votes that way. Nebraska
voters are not such monumental asses
as to vote a legislature into power for
the purpose of helping the railroads
and increasing their own burdens.
Democracy was defeated on a clean
cut revenue Issue that democracy
itself injected into the campaign.
Now take you medicine.
DIVISION DEFEATED BY NEAR
LY 2,000.
On the face of the returns, the
divisionists are inclined to think they
made a close run for those opposed to
division. Counting only the votes cast
on the division proposition there were
only about 300 more votes against
than for division.
The propositions of the divisionists
were defeated by a much heavier
majority than this, however. It re
quires a majority of all the votes cast
to divide a county. The total vote of
Holt county this year was 3,441. The
highest vote cast for division was
1300. This leaves a majority against
division of 1941. No vote on the divi
sion proposition counted against. In
other words, those who did not vote
at all on division really voted against
it. In this way division could be
defeated although a greater number
of actual votes were polled for it than
against.
In the same way the proposed new
state constitution was burled deep in
Holt county. There were 576 votes for
and 373 against the amendment, yet
a majority of nearly 3,000 in Holt
county stands against it.
The defeat of division is very gratify
ing to those who have opposed such a
move. O’Neill was not alone by any
means in the tight against parceling
up the territory in Holt county as
some of the heaviest majorities were
cast in some of the most remote pre
cincts. In fact, the owners and
opperators of farm properties were
among the leading opponents of divis
ion. They realized what it meant
in the way of increased taxation and
wisely concluded that voting more
taxes was the beginning and end of
folly. It is also hoped the divisionists
will yet see the error of their way and
be glad that their propositions did not
oarry. Our county is in fine shape
financially and the days of heavy
taxation that people had long borne
are passed. With the division ques
tion settled, our taxes on the decrease
and careful administration of county
affairs tax payers of Holt have much
to rejoice over.
HUMILIATED DEMOCRACY.
To the ordinary man, a blow at the
polls like Judge Parker and Father
Davis received would be very humiliat
ing. It was the most sweeping defeat
in the history of American politics.
Not a state north, east or west will
contribute its vote in the electorial
college to the democratic candidates,
with the exception of Maryland which
gives seven out of eight to the dem
ocrats.
Many causes are assigned in explan
ation of this democratic calamity.
The reason that weighed the heaviest
in the minds of the majority of voters,
The Frontier fanoies, was the univers
al public and private prosperity that
followed a period of depression under
a democratic administration. Another
source of republican strength was
Roosevelt’s personality and immense
popularity with the masses. Still
another source of republican votes
were the democrats who thought they
could get a slap at the Hill crowd in
no better way than by voting for
Roosevelt. However the votes came,
they came, and President Roosevelt is
reelected by the heaviest vote ever
cast.
There is a lesson in the election for
both parties; it teaches them that the
successful party is the party whose stan
dard bearer stands with the people and
is not under the control of political or
financial bosses—that the elective
power of the United States reposes in
the hands of the great common peo
ple, not in a coterie of plutocrats on
Wall street.
THE SUPERVISORS
The political stalls of the board of
supervisors remains the same as here
tofore. The following districts elected
representives on the board: First,
Third, Fifth, and Seventh. In the
Seventh Clark, pop, was elected over
Bloom, republican; Biglin, pop, was
reelected in the Third, no opposing
candidate; Keyes, republican, was
elected in the Fifth over Crosser, pop;
in the Seventh Kramer, republican,
defeated Ripp, pop.

Will Cut Pay Rolls.
Lincoln Star: Expenditures at
state institutions are to be reduced
far below any previous mark under
the next administration of Governor
Mickey, and the salary role is to be
chopped extensively by the lopping off
of all but absolutely needed employes.
The governor proposes to cut down
the expenses of the institutions as
much as possible and with that object
in view will start in a few days on a
personal visit of inspection. He will
examine into actual conditions, will
learn what employes are needed and
which ones can be dispensed with,
and then will "lay off” all but those
needed to run the institution in a
proper manner and without discom
fort to the inmates. There will be
few changes in the heads of the instL
tution, according to an announcement
made by the governor this morning,
as nearly all of the superintendents
have given satisfaction and have con
ducted the work under them in an
efficient manner. But in several of
the institution where conditions
could be improved changes may be
made.
All of the big institutions will re
main as they are so far as manage
ment is concerned, but different
methods of administration are to
be inaugurated in at least three of
the others. The superintendent of
one of the larger places has expressed
his intention of retiring to the private
practice of his profession, but an
effort will be made to have him recon
sider his determination, as his insti
tution has been well managed and his
resignation would be considered a loss
to the state. The governor will make
no announcement of changes in state
institutions until they are definitely
decided upon, but has declared his
intention of retaining only needed
employes. The forces in some of the
commissions and departments under
the control of the governor also may
be cut down, but no decison has been
reached in regard to a change of heads
of departments and all probably will
be retained.
One of the changes in state institu
tions which will probably be made by
the in coming administration is the
appointment of a new commandant
for the Milford soldiers home. The
home is under control of the state
board and the governor has nothing
to do with the oppointment of its
officers or employes, or in the direc
tion of its affairs. Under the admin
istration of Commandant Penn, the
present incumbent, some dissention
has existed among the inmates of the
home, and for this reason it is said
the new officers probably will retire
the commandant on the expiration of
his term, Feb. first.
Atchinson Globe: An Atchison
man asked a young lady when he
could come to call on her. “I won’t
have anything on this evening,” she
replied; “you could come then.” The
young man began to blush, said he
couldn’t possibly come, and the girl is
still wondering why.

The Best Liniment. <
“Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is con- ,
sidered the best liniment on the mar
ket,” write Post & Bliss, of Georgia,
Vt. No other liniment will heal a ^
cut or bruise so promptly. No other
affords such quick relief from rheuma
tic pains. No other is so valuable for
deep seated pains like lame back and
pains in the chest. Give this liniment
a trial and you will never wish to be
without it. Sold by P. C. Corrigan.
