The political campaign for 1912 for Holtoounty will be formally launch ed by the county candidates at the Chambers fair this week. A vote for George Norris, republican candidate for United States Senator, it a vote for a man who believes that the interests of the people Is para mount to that of the monied kings of Wall street. II Would-be-Governor Morehead had not served in the legislature he might be able to make people think that he was a progressive. But with the reactionary record be made divillg the last session staring him in tits face and being exposed to the VO$srs of the state in cold print, he might as well go back and sit down. The people want a progressive in the governors office and they know the; Will not have one there if John More liia4 succeds ln winning the eleotlon. Atifte for Aldrich is a vote fora thQtiugh progressive and an able and conscientious official. That Referendum Record. State Journal: A "news letter” offered to Nebraska newspapers for free use by "the demooratlo news bureau of Llnooln” contains this statement of Oaudldate Morebead’s record on the referendum amendment: John H. Morehead supported the initiative and referendum, but he In sisted that the percentage be fixed high enough to prevent foolish pro positions, yet low enough to make it comparatively easy for sensible pro positions to be submitted. The amendments which Morehead sup ported and which were finally enaoted Into law, provides a safe and sane initiative and referendum. It will permit of reforms as needed, yet pre vent Intolerance and fanatiolsm and foolishness. If Mr. Morehead’s record on the Initiative and referendum in the senate was good his party managers should not find it necessary to mls tate it. This statement implies that the amendments Mr. Morehead de sired were Incorporated in the bill as finally adopted, and that they were merely needed safegards of direct legislation. The record is so easily aocesslble that one wonders why the "demooratlo news bureau” should risk suoh a statement. The initiative and referendum bill, introduced by Senator Sklles, now demooratlo candidate for congress in the Fourth district, was defeated in the senate in committee of the whole on February 7, 1911. Senator Sklles himself suggested one or two minor changes In the bill, among these the provision that the affirmative on a measure must equal 35 per cent of the total vote in addition to receiving a majority of those voting on the measure. After this began the effort to attach hostile amendments, as Senanor Sklles declared them to be. ffljpe amendments took two di rections. First there was the effort to Increase the number of petitioners 1 required to submit a measure. The bill provided for ten per cent. Sena tor Placek proposed to make this fifteen. Mr. Morehead voted for this amendment, which was defeated with i the help of Senator Skiles, a handful I of progressive democrats, and all but a , one or two republicans. When the j bill came to the house the democratic element corresponding to the More head groupe in the senate managed to increase the percentage to fifteen as applied to constitutional amendments only. The change voted for by Mr. Morehead would have made the fifteen per cent apply to all measures, statutory a9 well as constitutidnal, and was not‘‘finally enacted Into law.” The second point of attack in the senate was the majority to be requir ed to adopt measures submitted under the initiative and referendum. The existing constitution provides for a majority of all the votes cast In adopt ing amendments. It has never been possible to carry an amendment under the provision except by the subterfuge ! of counting party tickets for it. The ‘‘majority of all votes cast” provision i in the referendum bill would render ! it inoperative, as senator Skiles and ■ the nonpartisan supporters of the bill , declared. Senator Albert moved to amend the bill to require this majority in the case of constitutional amend ments. Those who voted for this amendment, as named by the demo cratic World Herald's report, were Morehead, Albert, Bartos, Kohl Pickens, Placek, Reagan, Vlopp, Tibbets and Smith of Boone. Later Senator Placek proposed an amendment to require a forty per cent affirmative vote in addition to a majority. Mr. Morehead voted for this amendment, which also was defeated. None of these amendments were in the bill as "finally enacted Into law.” Tne democratic news letter to the contrary notwithstand ing, the referendum amendment to be voted upon month after next would be a vitally different measure had Mr. Morehead’s vote decided the matter.

The state railway commission hai ordered the Burlington and North western railroads to connect their lines at O’Neill by building a transfer switch. The order was written by Commissioner H. T.

The legislature passed the bill, but the switch was not built despite the fact that the old board of transportation issued an order to that effect. The two lines at O'Neill are on the same level and the commission be lieves the switch can be built at acost not exceeding 81,400. The work must b; done by November 20. The application for a switch was made by Joseph McCaffrey, a shipper of grain, hay, cattle, potatoes and live stock, living at Emmet, a station on the Northwestern road a little over eight miles west of O’Neill. The Burlington line from Sioux City is 13127 miles in length. O’Neill is 30:i 8 miles from Harrison, the station nearest the Wyoming line, and 266 6 miles from Wayside, Nebr., the sta tion located nearest the South Dakota line and Is 191.1 miles from Omaha by way of the Northwestern & Omaha road. Rebekahs Attend Meeting at Norfolk Last Friday the Degree Staff of Eld en Rebekah lodge No. 41 went to Norfolk under the auspices of W. K. Hodgkin and a very pleas nt day was enjoyed. Immediately upon their arrival at Norfolk the ladies were conducted to the Odd Fellows hall at which place an address of welcome was delivered by Mrs Susan Kierstead of Norfolk and a response by Mrs. Knutzman of Tilden. E'ollowing the addresses, dis cuss Ion of interest to rtebekahs took placo, after which election of officers for the ensuing year came in order. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Maud Clmgman, Oak dale; Vice President, Mrs. Rosa Macy, Norfolk; Secretary, Mrs. Lizzie Nes bitt, Oakdale; Warden, Mrs. Miles, O’Neill; Treasurer, Mrs. Harlow, Meadow Grove. Some interesting papers were read by Mro. Fradv of Oakdale and Mrs. Harlow of Meadow Grove on “Prayer and Robekah Work.” Among the features of the after noon was the secret work contest Of the Noble Grands of eaoh lodge in this district, whiob was won by Mrs. Anna Townsend of O’Neill. The O’ Neill lodge are highly pleased with the abo re result as this is an honor that everyone in the district were anxious to reoelve. This speaks well for Mrs. Townsend. The initiatory work was put on by the Degree Staff team oil O’Neill and they were heartily applauded. After adjournment, or about 3 o’ clock, the Rebekahs were ushered to the Mercha nts Cafe where a splendid banquet was in readiness and about 150 were present. Regular lodge and secret work was the feature of the evening session which ths O’Neill Rebekahs were un able to attend, owing to the train service. The next meeting will be held at Meadow Grove Sept. 20,1913, and all Rebekahc. in this district look forward to another good time. *** Supervisors Proceedings. (Continued from last week.)
