No, we do not feel very bad even If
the steam roller did smash us at the
county convention last Saturday.
What doth it profit a man if he
gains official preferment, If, In the
gaining thereof, he loses his own self
respect and that of his friends?
Congressman Norris, Governor Al
drich and the balance of the state
ticket were not endorsed by the stand
patters at the county convention last
Saturday, but we mistake the senti
ment of the people of this county if
they will not be overwhelmingly en
dorsed at the election next November,
These men stand for principle and
their manly and courageous stand fur
the right will .be endorsed by the
people.
From the action taken by the var
ious county conventions throughout
the state the Holt county delegation
will be in the minority at the state
convention next week. Half the coun
ties In the state have held their coun
ty conventions and the progressives
have so far a majority of 150 of the
delegates to the state convention.
When the complete returns are in
they will have a majority in the con
vention of between 250 and 300.
The late republican county conven
tion was noteworthy in many re
spects. One of the most noteworthy
features of the convention was the
fact that It did not endorse Congress
man Klnkaid, although his supposed
friends were in absolute control. This
Is the first republican convention held
In this oounty for many years in which
resolutions laudatory of him were not
adopted. Does It mean that these
old-time friends believe that he has
outlived hls usefulness and they are
ready to ditoh him?
The resolutions presented by the
majority of the committee on reso
lutions at the county convention last
Saturday, in our opinion, were the
onto that should have been adopted
oy the convention. They endorsed
the reoord of the party under the
leadership of several presidents, the
present chief executive included, and
pledged the delegates to the state con
vention to use their utmost endeavor
to promote the integrity of the party.
This we believe would have been the
proper course to persue and would
have done much to heal the breach in
the ranks of the party in this county.
-«» m ». -
We believe those in control of the
county convention last Saturday made
a serious blunder when they failed
to endorse the various candidates
nominated by the republican party at
the primary election last April. The
candidates for4-the several state offices,
several of whom are serving their Urst
term, have made good in their respec
tive positions and were deserving the
endorsement of their party associates
throughout the state. The fact that
they were not endorsed will not injure
them in the eyes of the voters, but
teuds to show the narrow, contracted
view taken of present conditions in
the party by those who guided the
destiny of the last county convention.

resolutions were then received. The
committee had been unable to agree
and three sets of resolutions were pre
sented to the convention. The maj
ority report was presented by Mr.
Greeley, and signed by three members
of the committee, Greeley, Beaver,
and Purnell. The resolutions were as
follows:
We the republican delegates of Holt
County in convention assembled at
O’Neill, Holt county, Nebraska, July
20, 1912, heartily pledge our support
to the progressive principles advocat
ed by the republican party. We point
with pride to the many achievements
of our great political party for the
past half century under the leadership
and Inspiration of Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt and
Taft.
We secondly endorse the record of
our county, district and state officials
and pledge our support to the repub
lican nominee.
We reccommend that the delegates
from Holt county to the Nebraska
state convention to be held at Lin
coin July 30, 1912, pursue such course
as will best conserve the integrity ol
the republican party.

The York minority report was as
' follows:
We the delegates of the republicai
party in Holt county, Nebraska, as
sembled in convention in the city ol
O’Neill this 20th day of July, 1912
realizing the seriousness of the situ
ation confronting the republican par
> ty in both state and nation herebj
adopt the following statement as out
lining the situation.
1. Resolved that we hold the re
. publican party to be the party of prog
ress and achievement.
2. That we deplore the conditions
confronting us as a result of the div
1 Isions in the Chicago convention,
i 3. That we attribute those condit
ions to the influences of the predatory
interests and money used by them in
the primary campaign and at the Chi
cago convention with design to break
up the republican party so that those
Interests might retain their hold up
on the government of the people.
4. That the great battle that con
fronts us is the battle of the people
for self government against the mon
ied powers.
5. That in order to win this great
battle for the welfare of the common
people we call upon all republican
voters to unite to save the party for
when the party is out of power how
ever good or progresslvelour principles
may be we cannot put them Into oper
ation.
6. To the end therefore that the
party be saved so that our proposed
progressive reforms may be brought
to a successful issue we call upon all
republicans again to unite on William
Howard Taft for president of the Un
ited States is the only one who is in
official position of leadership in the
republican party.
7. And be it resolved further that
we commend the work of our state,
district and county officials elected
from the republican ranks who are
in office and are seeking re-election
and pledge them our hearty support
for re-election.
That we further commend all state
district and county nominees of the re
publican party and pledge them our
hearty support for election.

The Weekes minority report was as
follows:
The republicans of Holt county in
convention assembled renew our faith
in republican principles. Inspired by
the record and achievemen s of this
grand old party for the past fifty years
we have yet full faith in its virility
and integrity. It is with satisfaction
that we call attention to the fact that
during the past four years, the wage
earner has received larger wages, and
the farmer has received more for his
products, than has been paid, in a like
period, any time in the history of the
nation.
We point with pride to the fact
that every platform pledge made by
the National Convention in 1908 has
been fulfilled and enacted into law;
among those being particularly worthy
of notice the Postal Savings Bank:
employers liability law; Inter-State
Commerce Court; the Corporation
Tax, which has produced over $30,000,
000 annual revence to the government;
and the economical administration of
governmental affairs, particularly in
the post office department, which has
been made self supporting for the first
time in the history of the government.
We believe that President Taft has
been faithful to the trust imposed in
him; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the delegates elect
ed by this convention to the republi
can state convention to te held at
Lincoln on July 30th, be instructed to
persue such course as will best tend to
secure the election of Wm. H. Taft as
president in the November election.
Mr. Weeks moved that the roll call
be simplifled and that the three sets
of resolutions be voted upon at the
same time, the delegates voting call
ing the number of votes and the reso
lutions voted for at the same time,
the set receiving a majority of the
votes ca3t to be declared adopted. A
viva voca vote was taken upon the
motion and the chair declared the
motion carried. Mr. Cronin appealed
from the decision of the chair and up
on a roll call the chair was sustained
by a vote of 64 to 36. A vote was then
taken upon the resolutions and the
vote stood: Weekes resolution 66, ma
jority report resolution 33, York min
ority report 4, and the chair declared
the Weekes resolutions adopted.
It will be seen by a reading of the
resolution that the convention refus
ed to endorse the republican state,
county or congressional tickets, the
resolutions which had an indorsement
of these officers being voted down. It
was apparent that those in charge of
affairs last Saturday did not care
what became of the entire ticket so
long as they could secure an endorse
ment of Taft.
The chair wrs authorized to select
a committee of seven to select dele
gates to the state convention and the
chair named as said committee: Dr.
Gilligan, Dell Akin, Joseph Matousek,
John Skirving, O. W. Harrison and
Albert Purnell. The committee rec
ommended the following delegatesjbe
elected to the state convention and
the report was adopted:
S. J. Weekes, O. O. Snyder, L. E.
Skidmore, A. H. York, Jacob Roche,
Joseph Matousek, W. E. Scott, C. E
Hall, J. P. Gilligan and George Davis.
O. O. Snyder was re-elected chair
man of the county central committee
and A. II. York secretary. The fol
lowing were then selected as members
of the county central committee. In
townships that were not represented
in the convention the old members ol
the committee will hold over.

Give Our Side A Chance.
In an article taken from theChicagc
Herald, headed “Business Men in The
atricals,” we notice that “The Lior

few stops before starting a run in Sat
rFrancisco. Now why can’t we hav«
this company stop one night with us:
They surely must have a first class
company to contemplate an extended
run in the western metroplis. Give
us a chance.
Good Ball Game.
A good sized (delegation of O’Neill
people went to Emmet last Sunday tc
witness a ball game between the rep
resentatives of that lively little burg
and Atkinson. The two teams had
previously played two games, each
team winning one and it was expeced
that this game would be aihummer,
and it was. It was one of the most
interesting games we have witnessed
since the celebrated Atkinson-O’Neill
game of four years ago. It was any
ones game until the last man was out
in the ninth inning. Atkinson won
with a score of 5 to 2 but there
were several times throughout the
game where a hit by Emmet
would have nearly insured them the
game. Kirkland was on the mount] for
Atkinson and while touched up rath
er lively could not be found when hits
meant runs. Karr twirled for Em
met and pitched a good game,
having the better of Kirk in the
twirling line, but "bone head” plays
and poor base running on the part of
his team mates offset his good pitch
ing. The same teams meet again next
Sunday on the Atkinson diamond.
