GOVERNOR ALDRICH
Republican candidate for re-election.
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.

follows twenty years of effort to secure
this concession, she first step being
taken In the early nineties, when a
hill looking to the accomplishment of
that task was Introduced In the state
legislature. 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

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.

The first sale tells
the tale—
If we sold every man in this
town once, we couldn’t exist. It’s the
repeat sales that build business. And right there is
the big reason why we’re handling and recommending
Every first sale of Peerless tells a tale of quality and
satisfaction that sends a man and his friends hurrying back for
more. Peerless never disappoints. Its quality is as uniform as
salt water. It cannot be excelled and is seldom equalltd. Tried
and true formulas—men who know how—modern machinery
-—best materials; all combine to put in the Peerless Roofing pack
age a material that is the truest kind of economy in building covering.
Come in and find out how big a dividend you can draw
from an investment in a Peerless roof. We’ll demonstrate.
