Cronin, the republican nominees for representatives, are old residents of Holt county, and have been prominent In public matters for many years, are acquainted with our neads and will make ideal representa tives. Shallenberger has announced that he will not accept the populist nomi nation for governor and make the race upon that ticket unleas he also re ceives the democratic nomination. As the Omaha mayor has the democratic nomination hog-tied the governor will probably retire to his Harlan county farm after January 1st. Poindexter, the insurgent candidate for United States senator in Wash ington, swept the state with a major ity of over 40,000 at the primary elec tion held in that state the first of|the week. Judging from the returns it would not take the voters of Wash ington long to tie a tin can to Secre tary Ballinger if they were given the opportunity. Prior to the primary election Con gressman Hitchcock appealed for votes on the grounds that he bad supported measures advocated and supported by such good Insurgents as Congress man Norris of Nebraska. Now Hitch cock, though the columns of his World Herald, |is denouncing Norris and boosting Sutherland, the democartlc nominee and former member of con gress from that district. For the first time in over a quarter of a century the democrats of Maine have elected their governor and they also elected a democratic legislature and the next United States senator from that state will be a democrat. Maine has not been represented in the senate by a democrat since 1863. The democratic victory was a revolt of in surgent republicans against the re publican bosses and was fought out upon local Issues. One of the latest rumors in state politics is to the effect that the popu list state committee will place T. H. Tibbies at the head of their ticket as a candidate for governor. This is the program the democrats want the com mittee to carry out as they believe with Tibbies on the popjjlist ticket the vote of the drys in the st ate will be split between Aldrich and Tibbies while Dahlman will be able to muster the solid vote of the wets. Many popu lists are opposed to this and they want i the committee tolndoFse the repub lican nominee, believing that he comes nearing representing the principles that the party stands for than the democratic nominee. -4-+~i W. J. Taylor the populist nominee for congress from this district and Judge Dean the democratic nominee have agreed tb let their dlfferencee be adjusted by the state committees of both parties and the committee will select the Candidate to make the race against the republican nominee. The Frontier predicts now that the machine will ditch Taylor, the popu list nominee, and give the nomination to Dean, as the democrats have no use for a populist except to secure the votes of thejbelievers in that party for the democratic candidates. If they should select Taylor to make the race then the populists will have to put an out and out county optionist upon their ticket for governor to prevent the populists from voting for the re publican nominee and assisting Dahl man. Watch this predictiion. In the recount of the votes cast at the primary election in Omaha Shall berger gained 72 votes on Dahlman. This reduces Dahlman’s majority to about 230 with South Omaha and the country precincts to recount. Shall enberger announces that he will take the matter into court if not success ful in securing enough votes in the recount to nominate him. If the mat ter is taking into court it may be decided before election but the chances are that it will not be settled for months. If Dahlman secures the certificate of nomination from the state board his name will go upon the ballot as the democratic ncynlnee, unless restrained by an order of court. Whether Shallenberger or Dahlman is the nominee is unimpor tant to tlie people at large as Aldrich will be the next governor of Nebraska. The Democratic Text Book. St. Paul Pioneer Press: The cam paign book Issued by the National Democratic Congressional committee will prove a disapolntment to citizens who have desired to be informed upon the Democratic attitude on national issues, and to secure in some compact form the figures and arguments upon which the democrats propose to make their Congressional campaign. The campaign book comprises 51b pages of extracts from the 'Congres lonal Record.” This makes for econ omy In a way, as the committee can send the book out under the frank of any member of Congress, but the vot er thristing for Information or argu ments finds It Impossible to attempt to get definite or accurate Instruction from the document. The speeches, for the most part, were delivered while appropriation and other bills were pending and many of the evils decried against by the speakers were elimin ated before the billls were passed. To that extent the arguments advanced in the speeches are misleading. The committee draws no conclu sions, offers no declaration of princi ples or remedy for existing conditions. The book, as a whole, simply repre sents a democratic note of protest al most of the muckraking variety. It does not contain a constructive line, and as a vote getting proposition might as well not have been Issued. Letter From D. L, Pond. (Continued from page one.) acres of his own. Graves has another 160 acres which another man works, desert claims. This land Is subject to homestead or desert entry, a man can take 320 acres of either. It is rich soil, chocolate color, some is sandy, some clay, some mixed. Iam surprised to see grass 8 to 10 inches high, that was as dry and brown as the road ten days ago, result of one watering. The coun try is so near level, water can be run all over it in ditches, 3 feet wide or so. When we arrived, I spent three or four days and looked the towu over.

Mr. Chairman: Whereas the bridge across the Nio brara River joining the Counties of Holt and Boyd and known as the Par sliall bridge has been partially des troyed by the action of high water and five spans of the same have been washed out and said bridge is abso lutely unsafe and Impassable and whereas the public good requires that said span ought to pe replaced and said bridge repaired and rendered passable at the earliest possible date, the expense of said repairing to be borne equally by the counties of Boyd and Holt. I move that notice in writing be served upon the County Board of Sup ervisors of Boyd County, Nebraska, re are advertising for carpenters. Wages are *4 to #5 a day. Wish Chas. Fowler was here to get his share. The resi dence part of town has some fine buildings and nice shady yards and gardens, fruit trees when water is put on either hydrant (city water from stand pipe) or windmills. Probably there Is forty or fifty windmills in town, said to be cheaper than hyd rant for lawns. The south part, old Mexican part, is mostly adobe build ings and many scattered all through, some fifty years old. There are some well developed farms In the valley with pumping plants that throw 1,500 gallon of water per minute. One party with alfalfa and other (crops has been offered #100 per acre for his farm There is a great chance to buy land three to five miles out and let it lay as an investment or develop it if they have #1,200 to put in a pumping plant. 1 have written a long letter, and I feel much improved.

Clark Hough. The Live Stock Market South Omaha, Neb., Sept. 14.—Spec ial market letter from Standard Live Stock Commission Co. The cattle run this week appears to be a little lighter than the previous week and there is a brisk active trade with values steady to a little firmer. There seems to be a scarcity of the good killers. Feeder buyers are as plentiful as ever and unless the bal ance of the week should bring unex pectedly heavy receipts the prospects are for a steady market.
