HUBBARD, Chambers. Do not fail to go to the polls next Tuesday to cast your ballot. It is a duty you owe yourself and your country. -o A vote for R. B. Howell is a vote for a progressive business man for governor of this state and a man who has made good in working for the people. -o As a result of the democratic tariff tinkering the people of the United States will soon be called upon to pay a war tax, although we have no war. Another case of democratic in efficiency. —-»— Henry Grady has made a good faith ful official and his faithful service will be rewarded by the voters of the county next Tuesday, when they will re-elect him for another term by a greatly increased majority. -o From present indications the re publican ticket will receive a sub stantial majority in this county. Tax payers are getting weary of high taxes and believe it is time to change the political line-up of the county. Now is the time to get into the band wagon. -o Remember that a vote for republi can candidates for supervisor in this county is a vote against the extrava gence that has been indulged in by the present democratic majority of the county board. The republicans are all good business men and are pledged to an economical administration of county affairs. It is to your interest to support them at the polls next Tues day . -o J. O. Hubbell has been a very suc cessful business man of this county and is well qualified to fill the office of county clerk to which he aspires. He is an accomodating thorough-going business man who will give the same care and attention to the business of the county that he does to his own business. -o P. F. Danker, of Anoka, Nto., re publican candidate for representative from the Fifty-Fourth district, was in the city last Monday interviewing the voters in behalf of his candidacy. Mr. Danker says prospects are very bright for republican success in the district and he looks to see an unusually large republican vote cast next Teus day. -o Hon. R. L. Metcalf was in the city last Friday and delivered an address that evening in the K. C. hall in the interest of the democratic candidates. Met is a very pleasing speaker but in the minds of many did not make a very strong democratic speech. He was very liberal in his laudation of President Wilson and said that the election of a democratic governor and congressman in this state would be an endorsement of President Wilson’s ad ministration. A fairly good audience was present and listened attentively to his address. -o H. U. Hubbard, of Chambers, re publican progressive candidate for supervisor from the Fifth district, is one of the pioneer residents of southern Holt and one of its most prosperous and progressive farmers and stockmen. If elected to the county board the people of the county will have an able and efficient official looking after their interests. He is deserving the suspport of all tax payers who believe that the county affairs should be looked after with the same care and efficiency that a man would look after his own business. -o We are of the opinion that it is to (he interest of the tax payers of the state to move the State University to the state farm. About the only peo ple in Lincoln who are opposed to the removal and consolidation of the Uni versity at the farm are the boarding house keepers, pool hall owners, res taurant men and real estate owners, who are interested in the real estate that the state will have to purchase if the University is enlarged upon its present campus. The adherants of the down town location have spent large sums of money to retain it upon its present location and some of the liter ature that they have scattered broad cast to further their ends is grossly missleading and untrue. Such methods should be frowned upon by the people of the state and they should vote to consolidate it with the school of agriculture at the State Farm. -o The Frontier has not had much to say regarding the judicial fight in this county, for the reason that we are of the opinion that there is practically no fight for that office. It is true there are two candidates seeking the support of the voters on the non partisan ballot for the office of county judge, but it has been conceded that Judge Carlon will be re-elected to the position with an overwhelming ma jority, and he deserves to be. He is serving his first term in the office and has made a good faithful official. This office, through which estates are probated, is one of the most important in the county and the voters of Holt couny will make no mistake in re taining Judge Carlon in this position for another term. He is capable and efficient and his knowledge of law is a very valuable assest in filling the position. That these facts are generally recognized by the people of the county will be proven by the over whelming vote that he will receive next Tuesday. -0 As to County Attorney. H. J. Boyle, the democratic candi date for county attorney, has made his campaign in this county with the following promise on his campaign cards: “If elected will try county cases without hiring other lawyers at the expense of the tax payers.” If Mr. Boyle should be elected and this promise carried out literally Mr. Boyle, in our judgment, has greatly overestimated his own ability, and it is plain to be seen that cases might arise, both civil and criminal, whereby the rights of citizens and taxpayers would be greatly jeapardized. There has never been a county attorney in this county but what has, in certain very important civil and criminal litigation, employed associate council, and Holt county has had some very able county attorney’s. It is pre sumptious on the part of Mr. Boyle to asssume that he alone can success fully cope with many of the able law yers of this county; he lacks both ex perience an ability. Walter Hodgkin, the republican candidate for re-election, has had as sociate counsel in three important cases during his term. One of these he inherited from his predecessor in office, and one other—the state of Ne braska vs. Culbertson—strikinly il lustrates what a county attorney is sometimes up against. In this case the defendant was represented by such an able array of lawyers as M. F. Harrington, Judge J. J. Har rington and J. A. Douglas. Mr. Hodgkin has tried many county cases during his term of office and the additional expense incidential to his office has been much less than that of most of his predecessors. He has been a painstaking and efficient of ficial and should be re-elected. SHERIFF HENRY D. GRADY Republican Candidate for Re-clection Lincoln Letter. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 26: From this point of view the general condition of the state campaign seems to be now as they were at the beginning. The republican committee is at this time as it has been from the start three months ago, active, aggressive, and confident of victory. The demo cratic committee, including Chairman Thompson, has been inactive to such a degree that it might be properly charged against them that they have practically surrendered the campaign from beginning to end. A general in command of an army in time of 'war, treating his soldiers and his cause as Chairman Thompson has treated the democratic party in this political campaign would be court martialed and dismissed. True, the state committee tied Mr. Thompson’s hands. His plea for patronage support for his men was ignored at Washington. The month he spent at the national capital when he should have been in the campaign work availed nothing. The party feud that robbed Chairman Thompson of his authority over the campaign and that still holds the patronage deadlock in tact has not lessened the tension among the democratic voters. As it appears now they are going to the polls with a divided and doubtful loyality to the state ticket. ?*"'• The democratic governor, who was not recognized as a state leader of the party when elected two years ago has not been able to raise himself out of that embarrassing attitude. The other democratic candidates on the state ticket are still weaker in pro portion, before the people, than is the governor. There has been an unusual amount of criticism of both state tickets from the partisan newspapers and the partisan speakers, but the general trend of this and the sveight of it seems to rest on Governor Morehead. At no point in the cam paign has he said or done anything to ift himself above that mediocrity of action and utterance that has char acterized him as the people seem to judge him from the general public point of view. * .. .1 .. _•_ ii . _ xiuvi nit o » icy* yjj. tuc guy ernor, of his negative character, his lent toward inaction and toward the . complete surrendering of himself to ;he reactionary conspiracy that put lim in and wants to keep in the exe cutive office, this general view of the , governor in contrast with the pulling effect of Howell on the public confi lence, seems to be more and more . emphasized by whatever happens as , ve come nearer election. If the gov- ( ernor is to get any considerable num- . eers of republican votes as an offset igainst the democratic bolters of his , candidacy that are outspoken in near- , y every voting precinct in the state, ;here is but little sign of such re- , jublican disaffection. The rule is that , i general trend one way or another in creases at the last of a campaign. [f that rule holds good as between ( VIorehead and Howell the governor’s ( lefeat will be emphatic enough to re buke the Did; democratic campaign Iream that somehow or sometime this s going to be a democratic state. ( Regents of The University’s Last Ap peal to the Parents of Nebraska. t On next Tuesday, November 3, your i /ote will ccecide the welfare of the s State University of Nebraska for all < ;ime to come. ] A levy which will bring Two and a Half Million Dollars was appropriated i oy the last legislature as a building < fund for a new phyical plant for the ' University. It was left for the people < :o decide at the coming election whether this money shall be spent for 1 lew buildings on the 320 acre farm ’ campus where the Agricultural Col- s ege is situated and thus make one 1 consolidated University, or whether i letween four and six hundre thousand iollars shall be spent to buy ad- c litional lots to extend the down town 1 campus and build two separate, com plete universities two and a half miles apart in the city of Lincoln. Educationally, two State Universi ties means wasteful duplication of the teaching force, buildings, libraries, gymnasiums, etc., and divides the student body. Economically, it means spending for additional ground down town, as much as the permanent buildings on the down town campus are worth. The demand by every State Board now housed in the State Capitol Building for more room will make good use of every permanent building on the down town campus and post pone for a generation the need for a new Capitol building. The boarding house keepers, real estate men, department stores and other business interests in Lincoln are spending money lavishly to retain the University on the down town campus. They have carried on a campaign of misrepresentation and abuse to further their pecuniary interests. They have no lack of money while the cause of the people has been left to altruistic volunteers to champion. To build up the down town campus is best for the twenty-one saloons within about four blocks of the down town campus. It is best for pool halls in that locality. It is best for the moving picture shows. It is best for the boarding houses. It is best for those who have fra ternity and sorority buildings for rent. It is best for the department stores. It is best for the down town bowling alleys. It is best for the dance halls. It is best for the continuous vaude ville shows and theatres. But is it best for your sons and daughters ? Do you want to locate a Great Uni versity in a district hemmed in by railroad yards? A place long since abandoned as a desirable residence district? Where exists all the ob jectional elements that house them selves in abandoned first class resi dence property? A place where you would not wish your daughters to go after dark? Or do you want one Great Uni versity on the sightly and mosts suitable 320 acre farm now owned by the state? In a residence zone of a mile that can be kept free from saloons, questionable resorts, pool halls, and other temptations to the student body as is done in other ' states ? We make this last appeal for the sake of your children. Vote for number 304 on the special ballot and consolidate the two universities on the State Farm. F. L. HALLER, GEORGE COUPLAND, Regents of the State University of of Nebraska. millVUlIVVIHVlKl j Having again received without op position the Democratic and People's ] Independent parties nomination of the 54th District, I again feel the voters should know my platform and some of ;he measures I will support and I will submit them for your consideration.

DEPOSITOR: We invite you to Deposit your funds in this bank for the reason that all depositors are protected by the Depositors’ Guarrantee Fund of the State of Nebraska. That the Deposits are amply protected in State Banks was exemplified in the failure of the State Savings Bank of Superior, Ne braska, a few months ago. Shortly after the I bank closed the depositors were paid in full, together with interest up to the time the bank suspended payment. At the same time the First National Bank of Superior failed and up to this time the depositors have not received a cent, and prospects of ever receiving a substantial por tion of their deposits are not very bright. The harvest of the farmers and stock men is now at hand and they will soon be dis posing of their products and will want to de posit their surplus funds. j Kindly keep this bank in mind, as this | is the only bank in O’Neill operating under the Guarrantee Law of the State of Nebraska.
