The rain this morning was worth a
million dollars to Holt county.
Clarence Harmon, the democratic
nominee for railway commlssoner, will
rejoice over Mr. Harrington's desert
ion of the democratic party.
The splendid rain this morning has
caused farmers to quit talking poll*
ltcs and they are now telling about
the bumper crops they will harvest
this fall.
M. F. Harrington, who was the
leader of the Wilson forces In this
Btate prior to the primary election,
announces that he will support Roose
velt for president :and will join the
third party. Mr. Harrington says
that he will attend the national con
vention of the new party In Chicago
on August 5th.
A call has been issued for the nat
ional convention of the new party,
which will meet in Ghloago on Aug
ust 6, Representatives from forty
two states signed the oall for the con
vention, Nebraska being the only
state that supported Roosevelt in the
republican national convention who
did not have a representative sign the
oall.
A movement Is now on foot to have
Taft and Roosevelt both withdraw
their names as presidential candidat
es and Jiave the national convention
reconvene and select some candidate
that will receive the support |ot all
faotlons of the party at the coming
election, as the presidential candi
date. Several members of congress
and senators, whose political future
hinges upon the result this fall, are
said to be behind the movement and
it is said that petitions will be circu
lated in every state in the union.
They contemplate having them cir
culated and signed prior to the date of
holding tbe new party convention on
August S.
Lincoln News: The utterance of J.
H. Morebead, democratic candidate
for governor, on the results of the
Baltimore convention tends to con
firm the belief of those who regard
that gentlemen not as a man stand
log for certain principles but as om
who Is principally Interested In trim
ming bis sails so as to catch tbe mos
breeze in tbe shape of votes. Ai
quoted in an interview in the World
Herald, Mr. Morehead said: “Thi
democratic party was blessed wltl
such good material for the presidency
—the only question that arose was
who should be named. Some were
without a great deal of support, some
had more support than others, and
the long balloting evidently expressed
the final judgment and opinion of the
convention.” There Is nothing in
this at which any faction can take
serious offense. Only those who in
sist that a man should express some
idea when he uses words have any
right to offer criticism of this state
ment of the politician.
The Anvil Chorus.
The Atkinson Graphic has joined
the Norfolk News and Omaha Bee in
knocking Governor Aldrich and Im
puting to him remarks that he did
not utter in the sense in which they
lead their readers to believe. In an
address delivered upon the state house
grounds on June 30 on good citizen
ship the governor said:
"When the voter goes to the ballot
box to excerclse the right of franchise,
he assumes and takes upon himself a
tremendous responsibility, for the in
dividual voter In America or in the
United States Is a government build
er, is the architect of laws and the
institutions under which he lives.
Therefore when he enters the booth
to vote and looks down his party col
umn and finds in that column there is
a yellow dog and in another column of
the opposition party there is a man,
it is his duty to vote for the man."
The Bee the next day said that Gov
ernor Aldrich called President Taft a
yellow dug and proclaimed that fact
to the publle in glaring Jhead lines.
The Norfolk News and the Atkinson
Graphic followed the lead set by the
Omaha sheet. Two days after the
publication of the alleged libel the
governor published an explanation oi
the matter and quoted the extract
above as the part of the speech
that these papers excepted to. Every
man has a right to differ with his fel
low man regarding political men and
measures but we do not believe that
these newspapers will add to their
popularity or advance the cause they
espouse by attacking Governor Al
drich, and they owe him an apology
for the light in which they have plac
ed him with their readers.
Old Settlers' Picnic.
The members of the Old Settlers
Picnic Association of Holt and Boyd
counties will hold their annual meet
ing for the purpose of electing officer's,
making arrangements to hold the
annual picnic for 1912, and for the
transaction of any other business that
may properly come before the meet
ing, at Meek, Holt county, Nebraska,
on Saturday, July 13,1912, at 8 o’clock
p. m.
It is earnestly requested that all
members and all those desiring to be
come members be present at this
meeting.

The county board were In session a
couple of days this week. Bids for a
poor farm were opened and read. The
board received eight offers from
land owners in the county, ly
ing in the townships of Grattan
Shields and Emmet and the; price
ranging from 930 to #55 per acre. The
county board Instructed the county
clerk to write the clerks of the various
townships in the county and ascertain
the number of paupers in each town
ship and the cost of malutainance so
that they would be in shape to act in
telligently on the matter when it
comes up for final action at the next
meeting of the board. The Niobrara
river bridge question was again up for
discussion. The Boyd county board
notified the Holt county board that
they weTe ready to enter into a con
tract for the erection of a bridge
across the Niobrara river at l’arshalls
crossing under the state aid bridge
law. After considerable discussion
the Holt county board passed a reso
lution notifying the Boyd county
board that they were ready to enter
Into a contract to build a bridge
across the river at Coon Island. A
bridge at the latter place they say can
be built much cheaper than the one
at the Parshall crossing and they say
that the state engineer says the lo
cation is a desirable one and that the
state stands ready to stand half of the
expense for the erection of a bridge at
that point, but that the State Irri
gation Board refuses to enter into the
scrap regarding the two locations
1 From present indications there will
be no bridge built across the river un
, less the two boards can get togethei
, and agree upon a location. Wednes
day evening the board adjourned un
til August 20, when they will meet ai
! a board of equalization, and will mee1
i the next day In regular session.
