A vote for the republican candidates
for supervisor in the several districts
is a protest against the extravagence
of the present democratic county
board.
-o
Dr. P. J. Flynn, who was nominated
at the primary as the remocratic can
didate for coroner, has refused to ac
cept the nomination and the officers of
the democratic county central com
mittee has nominated Dr. B. V.
McDermott, of Stuart, to fill the
vacancy.
■.o
C. W. Moss, republican candidate
for state senator from this district, is
making a splendid campaign for the
office and is receiving in his campaign
encouragement and offers of support
from members of all political parties.
From present indications he will be
elected by a splendid majority at the
coming election.
-0-7
That Henry Grady will be re-elected
to the office of sheriff is now admitted
by many democrats in this city and
various parts of the county. He has
made a splendid official and voters of
all parties are rallying to his support.
They see no reason for turning down
a true and tried official for an un
known quantity.
o
S. S. Wymore of Cleveland township
is the republican candidate for super
visor in the First district. Mr. Wy
more is one of the most prosperous
and progressive farmers in the north
western part of the county and will
make a valuable member of the county
board. Many of the most prominent
democrats in the district are support
ing him for the position on account of
his known ability to perform the
duties of the office and there is no
question of his election.
-o
Albion News: The fact that there
is an organization of men at Lincoln
who are spending a large amount of
money to prevent the removal of the
university barely three miles to the
state farm indicates that it is selfish
motives that actuate them rather than
the future welfare of the university.
Men don’t spend money so lavishly
purely for the public welfare. Or, con
ceding that there might be men who
would do so, it is not reasonable t<
suppose such a sentiment would b<
confined to a comparatively smal
number of the residents of the city o:
Lincoln.
-o
Ewing Advocate: More and mor<
each year people are becoming awari
of the fact that it pays to keep in of
fice, regardless of politics, a mar
whose efforts have proven him to b<
capable of performing the duties im
posed upon him, and who shows i
willingness to devote the best there i:
in him to the actual service of th(
people in his territory. This is indee<
the situation surrounding Hol1
county’s present sheriff, Henry D
Grady, who was nominated for re
election. Henry is a very efficient
official who has certainly “made good’
from every standpoint, and there is nt
reason why the voters of Holt shoulc
make a change.
-o
W. T. Hayes, of Atkinson, is the re
publican candidate for supervisor ir
the Seventh district. Mr. Hayes has
been a resident of Holt county for
thirty years and has always been one
of the leading citizens of the county.
He has been very successful looking
after his own business affairs and is
one of the heavy taxpayers of the
county. He is a careful and conserva
tive man and would be a very valuable
member on the county board. The
taxpayers of the Seventh district are
fortunate in having a man of Mr.
Hayes’ ability as a candidate for this
important office and they should see
that he is elected by a good sub
stantial majority at the coming elect
ion.
-o
County Clerk McNichols has re
ceived a copy of the general election
ballot from the secretary of state.
The state ticket, with the constitu
tional amendments submitted and the
referendum questions submitted to the
voters makes a ticket 46 inches in
length. With the county and precinct
tickets added the ballot will be 66
inches long, or five feet six inches.
This is the largest ballot ever offered
the voters of this county and is one of
the strongest arguments for a short
ballot. In addition to the general bal
lot there will be two other tickets that
the voters will be called on to cast at
this election: the non partisan judi
cial ticket and the university removal
or consolidation ballot. On account of
the length of the ballot the election
returns will be very slow this year.
-o
This supervisor district has three
candidates and the campaign in the
district is one of the most interesting
in the county. W. H. Shaughnesy is
the republican candidate; M. P.
Sullivan, present member of the
county board, is the democratic candi
date, and John Q. Howard is the pro
gressive and people’s independent
candidate. All three candidates are in
the field actively soliciting the support
jf the voters and each candidate has
i number of friends who are actively
ending their assistance and support
to their favorite candidate. The race
will be a good one with chances of
Section largely favoring Shaughnesy,
the republican candidate. He is
capable and competent and is being
supported by a large number of demo
crats who believe that the present
county board has been careless in the
expenditure otf public funds.

The announcement that Postmaster
General Burleson favors a change in
the rural delivery system whereby
carriers will have to bid for the work
ind obtain it by bidding lower than
iny one else, is causing great appre
lension among rural carriers all over
the country. This is the old star
route system revived. Under it, the
Didder would no doubt be allowed to
take on as many contracts as he could
handle, and every rural carrier would
become the employee of the con
tractor, instead of Uncle Sam as he is
now. In time, the contractor could be
come a big corporation which would
fix the compension of the men who do
the work at $600 to $800 a year, in
stead of $1,000 to $1,200 which the
Government now pays them direct,
and the contractor would get rich on
the work of the carriers. The con
tractor would come to own the horses,
wagons, or automobiles and the car
rier would become a mere driver,

Speaking of Howell’s recent visit to
Norfolk, the Press, which is indepen
dently democratic, says:—“The leader
of the attraction was R. B. Howell of
Omaha, the republican candidate for
governor. He didn’t abuse the demo
crats nor beg for votes. His talk was
almost all along the lines of public
ownership of public service utilities
and pointed out the absurdity of the
people admitting that they were not
capaple of conducting their own busi
ness and giving the valuable privilege
to private corporations. Mr. Howell
has been in public life in Omaha for
several years and has shown himself
a very capable man and his fight has
always been on the side of the people.
He is smart, able and aggressive and
a tireless worker and his part in the
' purchase of the Omaha water works
i is a creditable sample of his style of
doing things. His only enemies in
Omaha are the “underworld” and he
seems to be a man to be loved for the
enemies he has made.”

* For County Clerk.
J. O. Hubbell, republican candidate
for county clerk, was born in Ohio in
1872. When he was eight years of
age his parents moved to Nebraska
settling in York county, where the
subject of this sketch grew to manhood
and lived until his removal to this
county, nine years ago. Mr. Htibbell
resided on a farm and attended the
country schools of York county,
Shortly after reaching manhood’i
estate he moved to York and engaged
in the general mercantile and grain
business and followed that business
for a unmber of years, or until his
removal from that county.
In the fall of 1904 Mr. Hubbell pur
chased a ranch of 960 acres at Inez,
this county, and moved here the fol
lowing spring. He entered the general
mercantile business at Inez and has
conducted a store there since his ar
rival in the county in addition to look
ing after the affairs of his ranch,
which he has well stocked.
Three years ago, upon the urgent
solicitation of residents of the south
western part of the county, he entered
the race for the office of supervisor,
and the vote he received in that
election attests his popularity in that
section of the county where he is, well
known. He carried every township in
the district except one by splendid
majorities, many of them democratic
strongholds. He has been a valuable
member of the county board and while
he has been a member of the minority
the past two years has been a careful
guardian of the interests of the tax
payers. His long experience in the
mercantile business and his experience
on the county board fits him for the
position of county clerk. He is an
affable, accomodating gentleman and
would fill the position of county clerk
with credit and ability. Vote for
Hubbell.

Lincoln Letter.
Lincoln, Oct. 19.—With the election
only a couple of weeks away, the po
litical philosophers are speculating as
to the result. They judge what will
happen at the election by what ftas
happened in the campaign. Also by
the conditions that existed and st;ill
exist regardless of the campaign. ,,,
As to the fundamental conditions,
Nebraska is a republican state. The
republicans have elected every candi-i
date on the state ticket for the last
sixteen years with the exception of
Shallenberger and Morehead. This
fundamental condition of republican
supremacy in the state might be tem
porarily offset in this election if it
were a national election, with Wilsbn
appealing directly to the voters in his
own behalf, and with the state ticket
in harmony with Wilson and Bryan.
Wilson as a national leader yoked
with a democratic candidate for gov
ernor who was a state leader in this
state, would make a strong team to
pull and to hold the progressive demo
crats who are being swayed by How
ell’s popularity.
But it is not a national election artd
the democratic state ticket is not
headed by a state leader of the party.
He is regarded as the instrument of a
machine. There is much in the More
head administration for the last two
years and in the last six years of
democratic legislatures that the party
cannot appeal to with pride. In fact,
the alliance of the anti-Bryan element
in control of the party with certain
special offensive interests makes the
progressive democrats feel more' ih
harmony with Howell and the repub
lican ticket than with Morehead,
Maupin and Pool.
The split between the Bryan
and anti-Bryan democrats is not
a campaign incident but a funda
mental condition. It commenced
when Bryan said he would be
silent no longer. The Grand
Island convention of four years
ago were the democratic orators
hammered Bryan for hours, called
him a “Wooden horse,” and heaped,
approbrium on him, was the first
battle. The state primary of two
years ago that was rounded up
against Bryan and for Champ
Clark, was the second battle.
Now, this year fn the third bat- *
tie between the factions and with
the reactionaries in complete con
trol of the party, the question is,
can Mr. Bryan pretend that he is
the state leader and can he now
in a three day’s whirlwind cam
paign of the state rally his fac
tional friends to the support of a
state ticket that if elected will
lower the standard of the party
still more and more—all in the
name of loyalty to President Wil
son?
True, Governor Morehead has the
biggest official personal machine ever
organized and operated at the state’s
expense by any governor. He has an
army of fifty traveling men on the
state pay roll policing the state from

town to town. They rounded up and ,
centered the anti-Bryan element
around Morehead in the primary. They
dogged Berge’s heels pulled him down
and pulled Metcalf into the race to
divide the progressive democratic
vote.
But can these traveling appointees
of the governor now persuade the pro
gressive democrats into the support of
Morehead’s election as they rounded
up the re-actionaries for his nomina
tion ? With these fixed conditions, the
sixteen years of dominant republican
ism in the state election, that even
Bryan’s influence was not able to ever
come through all these years when he
was the acknowledged state leader of
the party; with this anti-Bryan fued
that started at Grand Island still on
and still more and more determined—
with Howell's popularity and the gen
eral credit accorded the rest of the re
publican state ticket—is there any
logical reason or condition that prom
ises the election of a single man on
the democratic state ticket?
The democratic managers hope and
pretend that the republican party of
the state is divided, but it is not.
Sackett got only two thousand votes
in the primary, and if he should get
four thousand in the election, what
will that amount to with a swing to
ward Howell that promise him five
times that many democratic votes?
These general conditions also
prophesy a republican legislature.
This is the way the situation looks at
Lincoln from a republican viewpoint.
If the democrats have any other view
or hope, they do not indicate it, either
by the voice of their newspapers over
the state nor by their inactive state
committee that has apparently aban
doned the state ticket or is depending
on the effect of Bryan’s three days’
whirlwind campaign.
