Very respectfully yours, Hugh A. Allen. 9 fc Announcement. I wish to announce that I am a can didate for tiie office of state senator in the 24th district subject tojthe ap proval of the republican electors, at the primary election to be held April 19th. Have been a resident of Holt county for more than 20 years, have served on the county board and been twice elected to the house of repre sentatives, and feel that my experien ce and acquaintance with the needs of the district, qualify me for the work of the senate. Your support is respectfully solicited. W. N. Coats, 41-4 Stuart, Nebr. Because The Frontier stated two week3 ago that "J. A. Donohoe made a good record when in the state sen ate three years ago and that if he were nominated for congress he would be an agresslve candidate,” Brother York, the talented editor of the Atkinson Graphic, accuses us of booming Mr. Donohoe in opposition to Congress man Kinkaid and warns us that friends of the congressman throughout the county might retaliate by elect ing a democrat to the position now held by us in the legislature and for which we are a candidate for re-elect ion. We believe that Brother York owes it to us; to publish the item whloh he complains of and to allow his readers to judge whether or not we are boosting Mr. Donohoe. Tire lines quoted above is the substance of the article and all that concerned Mr. Donohoe and for the life of us, if we are able to understand the English language, we are unable to tind where in it booms Mr. Donohoe for the con gressional job. It Is true we said Mr. Donohoe made a good record when he represented this district in the state senate and according to our idea he did. Is it lese majesty In the opinion of our republican brother editor to give credit to a democrat for making good, even if he believes he has done so. This district has been represent ed in the state senate by many dem ocrats aDd we call to mind now no other democrat whom we could say made good in that capacity. But say ing that he made good does not mean that The Frontier will support him for congressman. He does not bolong to our political party and The Fron tier during the twenty years that the present editor has been connected with it has always faithfully and loy ally supported the republican nomin ees and will do so in the coming cam paign, bellveing that republican poli cies are better for the people of this country than democratic. That Mr. Donohoe will be an aggressive candid ate, If he suoceeds in winning thenom lnation, no man who is acquainted with him will deny, so why not admit It. Oats! Oats!

The O’Neill delegates sent to the Insurgent conventions of the Modern Woodern called for Columbus and Hastings to protest against the in crease of rates in the order, returned the latter part of the week and report splendid meetings in both cities and that the sentiment all over the state is practically the same, that is united in protest against the increase in rates. The Columbus meeting was held last Monday and was attended by 120 delegates, represttng 18000 Woodmen. At this meeting resolutions were adepted severely censuring the offici als and the membership of the Chicago head camp for the great and unneces sary increase in rates adopted there. A state association was formed for the purpose Of protesting vigorously against the leveylng of the proposed increase and lines of proceedure, to gain the desired end, mapped out. A complete list of officers were elected for the association. A committee of live were apointed to represent the Columbus convention at the Hastings meeting aud were authorized to get together with the Hastings meeting if possible so that there would be but one organization in the state to tight the proposed rates, as the members believed that one good effective light ing organization would make more headway than two organizations who would probably get to scrapping among themselves. To the end that nothing would prevent the merging of the two state associations, provided their plat forms did not contllt, the committee were given the resignations of all the officers of the Columbus meeting and were authorized to till their places with other members if they deemed it necessary for the advancement of the cause they were all interested in. The Hastings meeting convened Wednesday morning and when the re port of the committee on resolutions was read it was found that 380 deleg ates were present, representing over 40,000 Woodmen in the state of Ne braska. It was a splendid gathering composed of some of the ablest men in the state and they were all there with one object in view and that was to protest and protest vigorously against the enormous Increase in rates as levied at Chicago. The resolutions which were adopted at Hastings are the product of the committee on resolutions of the Hast ings convention and the committee appointed by the Columbus conven tion and as stated by the chairman of the committee were ‘‘a treaty of peace or a declaration of war, depending upon the attitude to be assumed by the head officials,” committed the in surgents to the following line of action: 1— To secure the submission of the entire rate question to the entire membership for a referendum vote. 2— Falling in the first to endeavor to secure a meeting of a newly elected head camp for a reconsideration of the rate question. 3— Failing in the first and second, to institute legal proceedings to pre vent the enforcement of the new rates pending consideration of the question by the next regular head camp. 4— Failing in all these, to call another convention to take such act ion as the circumstances may require. Woodmen, Yes We Can Stay. Leonie, Nebr., March 24,1912, Editor Frontier: Answering an ar ticle of last weeks issue, in which my name was used, and was signed by John A. Robertson, 1 will simply say that his table of estimations and everything contained therein, (with the exception of some erroneous state ments and the misleading appearance of the way in which it was got up) is a positive argument in favor of the Modern Woodmen rates as adjusted. Bistable shows that it is necessaay for the society to collect just the am ount of the rates (according to age,) that are applied in the new rate, and If put into a reserve fund, working all the time and accumulating at the rate of 40 per cent compound Interest (provided of course that every man lived to his expectancy) necessary to enable the society to guarantee the payment of each contract now in force. His slam at absence of fraternal con ditions is unjust and unoalled for and reason will show you the insurance feature is entirely a separate and dis tinct feature from it. You cannot pay insurance cantracts with broth erly love aud good fellowship feelings, but you must pay them with the al mighty dollar and nothing else will do it. His (i per cent estimation is higher than would be possible, with a large amount therefore is out of the ques tion. His assertion that you would pay in more thau $1000 on each $1000 carried is contradicted in his own table show ing you the amount you actually will pay in up to your full expectancy, the balance Is accumulated for you after your money has been paid into our treasury, thus showing his statement to be absurd and exactly contradicted by his own figures. I would not like to think that Neighbor Robertson has made this mistake intentionally to mislead some unsuspecting neighbor, whohasnot time or inclination to look into this proposition for himself, and would necessarily be led In the footprints of one so intluental and well informed on all questions of interests as he is, so we will have to call it a common mistake, probably for the reason that he did not take time to review his work before going to press. In condeming the head officers of the society, he is I think hasty, call ing his attention to the fact, that this plan was reviewed and studied by 788 delegates composed of the societies members, after which 436 voted In favor of the plan that was adopted, which looks like the only (or rather one of the only plans of a like char acter) that would pull the order out of the present rut and enable it to stay out for all time without calling more than 12 assessments per year. He condemns the term insurance and it is a matter of fact the only kind of insurance he has had in the Modern Woodmen since lit has been doing business, and the term was very indetinate. Now it should be perman ent. Why take a chance when you can be sure. Fraternally, O. B.Hatch. District Court. During the past week many cases have been heard in the district court, many of them having been settled by agreement among the litigants. The following cases have been disposed of: Charles E.

Grady, an equity case, was also tried to the court, and a verdict rendered for the | plaintiff and costs of the suit charged to the defendant. Mary Witbee vs. Frank C. Maley was settled by agreement between the parties and a verdict rendered against the defendant for $1,000 aud costs of ( suit.
