HI. 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.

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.

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.

MR. 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.
