ROMAINE SAUNDERS, Sec. STATE CONVENTION. Pursuant to the call of the National Committee issued December 7, 1907, the Republican electors of the State of Nebraska are hereby called to meet in convention in the City of Omaha on Thursday, March 12,1908, at two o’clock in the afternoon, for the pur pose of selecting four delegates at large and tour alternates to the Re publican National Convention to be held In the City of Chicago, June 16, 1908, for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. The basis of representation of the several counties in said state conven tion, shall be the vote cast for Honor able H. H. Wilson for presidential elector at the general election held November 8,1804, giving one delegate tor each one hundred and fifty votes and the major fraction thereof so cast tor said H. H.

Said apportionment entitles the several oounties to the following representation in the said convention Holt.IS It is recommended that no proxies be allowed and that the delegates pres ent from each of the respective coun ties be authorized to cast the full vote of their delegations.

F. P. GORRICK Wm. HAYWARI Secretary. Chairman. January 8,1908, Lincoln, Nebraska The annual report of the count: treasurer is the best answer to thosu bleary-eyed fusion Ists who are contin ually shouting that the county is or the verge of bankruptcy. The Butte Gazette springs th< name of Robert Lynn of Spencer as i candidate for the republican nomin ation for commissioner of public land! and buildings. “Bob” was a oandi date before the state convention twi years ago and made a splendid show ing, though opposing Mr. Eaton wh< was asklng for a second teom. Shouk Mr. Lynn decide to enter the contesi for the nomination he would maki some of the other aspirants “go some’ if they succeeded in .carrying off tin honors. TO OUE SUBSCRIBERS. Uncle Sam, through the postoffice i department, has made a ruling which affects the publishers of all newspapers now being mailed at the second class rate of postage. The order is as fol lows: A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to secure renewals of sub scriptions but unless subscriptions are expressly renewed after the term for which they are paid within the fol lowing periods—dailies within three months,triweeklies within six months, semiweeklies within nine months, weeklies within one year, semimonth lies within three months, monthlies within four four months, bimonthlies within six months, quarterlies within six months—they shall not be counted in the legitimate list of subscribers and copies mailed on account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at a second class postage rate of one cent a pound, but may be mailed at the tran sient second class postage rate of one cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by postage stamps affixed. The right of a publisher to extend credit for subscriptions to his publication is not denied or question ed, but his compliance with this regu lation will be taken into consider ation in determining whether the publication is entitled to transmition at second class postage rates. This is a serious proposition to the publishers of weekly newspapers as it virtually compels them to have their subscription accounts all paid up or else place a one cent stamp on each paper sent to subscribers who are one year or more in 1 arrears. This, of course, would be impossible as the extra expense would made it prohib itory. The Frontier has been very lenient with its subscribers, allowing them to pay their subscription whenever it suited their convenience. But that day is past and now we are compelled to collect up and we ask all our read ers to pay up and a year in advance if possible. We have several hundred subscribers who are a year or more in arrears and we hope they will appre ciate the favors shown them in the past and promptly liquidate their in debtedness. During the next week we will send statements to all sub scribers showing the amount of their indebtedness and we trust all will re mit the amount due. If you can not spare the cash at present we will take your note. But square up Do it at once before the matter escapes your mind. As will be seen by the annual report of County Treasurer Harnish, pub lished in this issue, Holt county had on hand January 8, a little over 975, 000.00. This is a long ways from being busted, isn’t it? The Nebraska congressional dele gation should out out their fooling and endorse Ross Hammond for the collectorship. As editor of the Fre mont Tribune he has performed val iant services for the party and should, without question, receive the unani mous endorsement of the delegation. Indications are that the Third con gressional district will select two editors to represent them at the re publican national convention. They i are: W. N. Huse of the Norfolk News ; and J. T. Elliott of the West Point Republican. These men have the 1 avoirdupois and the ability to make ; them eligible to to membership in ' Nebraska’s big four. ! We will bet a doughnut against a ' last summers bird’3 nest that one | congressman on the Nebraska dele . gallon will sweat blood if it should be up to him to cast the deciding bal 1 lot in the collectorsliip fight. Would he vote? Well, we are inclined to think he would resort to his old-time ’ practice and take the matter under i advisement for a year or two. “The backbone of ‘senatorial privi lege’ appears to have been broken, so far as Nebraska Is concerned,” re 1 marks the Lincoln Star. “For many 1 years the senators have been conceded oertain privileges, one of the chief of 1 which has been the distribution of ■ good appointive federal ofiices among 1 their own friends. But the old order has been overturned by President 1 Roosevelt, and his demand that the 1 whole congressional delegation agree 1 upon some man for internal revenue 1 collector comes as a shock to the two members of the upper branch of con 1 gress from this state. From now on, it is more than likely that the entire delegation will have a hand in the distribution of all federal patronage ic Nebraska. Such a practice will take from the senators something that they have come to value highly. The congressman now hold the whip hand in the matterof Nebraska patronage.” Supervisor Proceedings. (Continued from last week.) 7 o’clock p. m , board called to order.
