ANNOUNCEMENT.
Being again permitted to file for the
Democratic nomination for Repre
sentative of the Fifty-fourth District
without opposition is a privilege I
very much appreciate, and if again
nominated and elected will show my
appreciation of the seeming confidence
in my earnest efforts to represent this
district by working harder for
the good of all and help to make Ne
braska the best state of the Union in
which to live.
I have two boys in the service, one
in France, the other soon to go. The
third son, who has helped mo so
faithfully on the farm, has waived his
agricultural classification and will go
soon too.
I will be strong for all means and
measures that will give aid and com
fort to our soldiers who are sacrificing
so much to wipe out autocracy and to
help establish a world-wide democ
racy.
Upon the farmers, next to the
soldiers, depends the winning of this
war and I shall continue to be strong
for laws in our interest.
If my record in the past meets with
your approval I shall appreciate your
support.
Respectfully,
CRIST ANDERSON.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
STATE REPUBLICANS
Resolutions standing squarely be
hind the men and women serving in
France, and behind the nation and its
officials in prosecution of the war were
unanimously adopted by the greatest
Republican state convention held in
Nebraska since the enactment of the
primary law, at Lincoln Tuesday.
First opportunities for the men in the
trenches, for homesteads on the public
lands, was another pledge, and
throughout the platform rings with
patriotic fervor. Briefly summarized,
the platform stands behind the govern
ment for prosecution of the war until
an unconditional surrender of the
enemy, declares for a non-partisan
conduct of the war, condemns the
making of loyality a party issue,
urges the elimination of all party
issues not to the successful prosecu
tion of the war; pledges the repub
lican party to and its candidates to
a program of preparation for solution
of the tremendous problems which
will present themselves after the war;
denounces profiteering, pronounces
unequivocally in favor of women suff
rage and national prohibition;
pledges the candidates to a program
of economy and efficiency; favore the
exclusive use of the English language
in the schools; favors improvement of
the present employers liability act;
congratulates the farmers fpr their
patriotic devotion and for increased
production of foodstuffs; pledges the
party to the development of the state’s
natural resources, and declares for an
efficient audit of state expenditures.
The convention was presided over
by'R. W. Devoc of Lincoln and was
addressed by National Committee
Chairman Hays, who brought word of
cheer and promises of Republican
| victories in many states.
STATE DEMOCRATIC TUMUL
TUOUS HARMONY GATHERING
It took the masterful generalship
and iron will of an O’Neill citizen to
keep the members of the democratic
state convention at Hastings Tuesday
from flying at the throats of each
other, but Senator James A. Donohoe
was equal to the occasion and the con
vention had harmony, even though it
had to be fought for. The able man
ner in which the senator assumed con
trol of the situation, as temporary
chairman, made his selection as per
manent chairman the unanimous de
sire and choice of the convention. It
was the first big gathering of the
democrats since the enactment of the
primary law at which both the pro
gressive and conservative factions
were out in force and while neither
questioned the loyality and patriotism
of the other each desired control this
year. The platform, adopted after
long hours of wrangling in committee,
as usual points with pride and views
with alarm and was unanimously
adopted when presented to the con
vention by Dr. P. L. Hall of Lincoln.
It contains the patriotic declarations
of undivided support to the nation in
the prosecution of the war which is
the keynote of the platforms of all
Americans regardless of party politics
in these history making times; but,
strange for a democratic platform,
nowhere makes mention of the late
lamented Thomas Jefferson, revered
democratic saint. After many long
paragraphs and sentences in eulogy
of President Wilson and the present
democrats in office it concludes by
bunching the important issues of a
constitutional convention, women suf
frage and national prohibition in a
few short lines as follows:
“We favor the proposed calling of
a constitutional convention, equal
political rights for women and legis
lative action consistent with the peo
ple’s will on the proposed prohibitory
amendment to the federal constitu
tion.”
The resolutions no where names or
contain ringing endorsement of
Senator Gilbert M; Hitchcock, but
damn him with faint praise by re
fering to the acts of “a democratic
senator from Nebraska,” as compared
with “a republican senator from Ne
braska.” The prohibition plank is
pleasing to both wet and dry demo
crats, as it may be interpreted to suit
the view and conscience of either, or
of a neutral.
