The number of candidates that have
accepted nominations on the people’s
independent ticket for the coming cam.
paign, indicate that there will be a
lively election in old Holt this fall.
-o
The republican national convention
will meet in Chicago in less than three
weeks and nominate the next presi
dent of the United States. It seems
to be quite generally conceded that the
choice lies beween Justice Hughes and
Theodore Roosevelt. Well posted
politicians are of the opinion that
either would be successful at the
general election.
Miss Genevieve McNichols of At
kinson has accepted the People’s In
dependent nomination for county
superintendent, and the race for that
office at the general election will be a
three cornered fight. Miss Olivia
Sturdevant is the republican-progres
sive candidate; Miss Minnie Miller,
present county superintendent, the
democratic, socialist and prohibition,
and Miss Genevieve McNicholas the
People’s Independent candidate.
-o
S. A. Hickman, who was a candidate
for the People’s Independent nad
democratic nominations for supervisor
from the Sixth supervisor district,
lost the democratic nomination to Tom
Judge, but Secured the nmoination
upon the People’s Independent ticket.
He has accepted the nomination and
there will be a three cornered race for
supervisor in that district this fall.
F. C. Watson is the republican candi
date; John Judge the democratic can
didate and Samuel Hickman the peo
ples independent candidate.
-o
Hy F. Nightengale of Atkinson, who
was a candidate for the democratic
nomination for clerk of the district
court at the primary election and
who was defeated by T. J. Coyne, re
ceived the nomination for that office
on the People’s Independent ticket and
has accepted the nomination. The
fight for this office will be a three
cornered one, with D. M. Stuart the
republican, progressive, prohibition and
socialist candidate; T. J. Coyne, the
democratic candidate and Hy F,
Nightengale the People’s Independent
candidate.
-o
A careful perusal of the returns oi
the late primary election discloses the
fact that Chester H. Aldrich was not
the weak candidate that many opposed
to him tried to have the people believe
prior to the election. Mr. Aldrich car.
rid the state, outside of Douglas
county, by 2,600 but the majoritj
given Mr. Kennedy in that county give
him the nomination. Mr. Aldrich is i

JOHN BRENNAN
Wants to See You
The farmers and the small towns
are the backbone of the country and
its the women in the small towns who
are breaking the country’s back, and
their husband’s pocket book.
Get your Sears Roebuck or Mont
gomery Ward’s catalogue now and see
what you get. You buy there now
and you will get the best trimming
you ever did get. Catalogue houses
are up against it. They can’t do a
thing. Look at the prices they arc
asking. Why Joe Wise can beat them
now. People claim the farmers send
away for most of the stuff. The
farmers do not; it’s the women in
town who have nothing to do but sit
around the house reading advertise
ments. The farmers are all right. It
the town people were as good to the
towns as the country people are
O’Neill would be as big as Lincoln.
Credit stores make it so easy for town
women to stay at home and order the
goods over the telephone that they
don’t come down town to see the
prices the cash store sells goods for
and when they see a picture in a book
they think if they had that they would
look like the picture and so they send
away for it. When it comes they
have to burn it because they wouldn’t
dare wear the thing they got and they
have to call up the credit store and
ask for another month’s time on their
bill.
From the business I am getting
from people who should be my friends
they seem to want me to move. Am
I going to do it? Watch me. Some
people would like to push a man down
deep in the dirt like a worm but you
can’t push me down. If you think you
can, try it.
Now in regard to flour I want to say
any woman who can’t make good bread
out of my cheapest flour ought to get
out of the kitchen and let some one
bake who can bake. I don’t care if
you pay $2.00 per bag for flour you
can’t beat the flour I sell. And my
Coffee is here in the store and I will
put it up against any man’s coffee at
double the price and you can’t beat
it. I am here selling good stuff and I
am saving you money and I am going
to stay right here doing it ’till I get
ready to quit. The sooner you wake
up to the fact and get in line with the
cash buyers who are already trading
here the sooner you will find out how
good a grade of stuff a man can sell
at a cheap price.
I have a lot of good stuff here you
need and you ought to buy it before I
go busted.
I have five or six hundred dollars
worth of stuff that you generally pay
from 35 to 50c which I am selling,
while it lasts, for 19c.
You will never know how many
dollars I saved you people this year on
Coffee, Sugar, Tea, Flour, Potatoes,
Overalls, Shirts, Dry Goods, Shoes, Etc.
But believe me there was a lot of
profit cut off some of the big store’s
bank accounts this year.
Cash Done It
today has more earnest and loyal
friends than he. He is still practically
a young man and will be a powerful
factor in the affairs of the party in
this state for many years to come.

Holt and Boyd counties are at last
to receive some benefit from the state
aid bridge law, that was passed during
the legislative session of 1911,through
the efforts of the members of the
house and senate from these counties,
the bill being introduced by the writer.
This law went into effect in July, 1911,
and Holt and Boyd counties were the
second counties to file application for
state aid in the construction of bridges.
They asked for state aid in the con
struction of a bridge across the Nio
brara river at Parshall’s crossing. The
application was approved by the state
and plans ordered drawn for the bridge.
I Then the personnel of the county
I board changed and the new members
did not like the location and the mat
ter was allowed to die. The question
was again revived last fall and both
boards decided upon a location for the
bridge; the state board approved the
, application, bids were advertised for
and the contract for the construction
, of the same was let a few weeks ago.
Then about six weeks ago they ap
plied for state aid to construct a span
of the Rerbird bridge that was taken
1 out by high water some months ago.
, Last Monday the state board of irri
gation, in session at Lincoln, approved
' the application and they will pay half
, the cost of the construction of this
new span across the river, which will
cost about $12,000, half of this to be
paid by the state. The law also pro
i vides that the state will have to pay
half the cost of the repairs upon state
aid gridges, when the cost of the re
pairs exceed $100. Since the first
# bridge was built across the Niobrara
river the up-keep and repairs of them
has been one of the greatest burdens
• the county has had to carry and
thousands of dollars have been spent
in building bridges and in keeping
them in repair after they were built.
I Now that we are to have two state aid
| bridges in the county, both of which
will be built under the supervision of
the state engineer, we will have two
bridges at least that will cease to be
a rat hole to pour the hard earned dol.
lars of the taxpayers into. The board
are to be commended for securing the
appropriation for the Red Bird bridge.
Their application was the last that will
be allowed until after the next session
of the legislature, as the state aid
bridge fund is exhausted. Applications
on file for state aid amount to $187,
000.

Prince Albert gives
smokers such
delight, because
— its flavor is so different and so
delightfully good;
— it can’t bite your tongue;
— it can’t parch your throat;
— you can smoke it as long and
as hard as you like without any
comeback but real tobacco hap
piness !
On the reverse side of every Prince
Albert package you will read:
" PROCESS PATENTED
JULY 30th, 1907”
That means to you a lot of tobacco en
joyment. Prince Albert has always been
sold without coupons or premiums. We
prefer to give quality !
