Announcement. Having received the republican nom ination for County Clerk of Holt county I respectfully solicit your sup port at the polls on election day. I am past the age limit for the army, my only son is now in France and feel that I am competent to fill the office of County Clerk, thereby re leasing some one who will be able to * go and help the boys at the front, if they so desire. If I am elected I promise to do my utmost to give you an efficient and economical administration of the County Clerk’s office I have been a resident of Holt county for twenty years and expect to reside here, and if elected will feel it my duty to do anything that is for the welfare and interest of the county and its people Respectfully, E. F. PORTER, Chambers, Nebr. - • The Hindenburg line in France is like the Hindenberg line that con trolled the last Nebraska State senate, badly shattered. -o Is our esteemed contemporary ashamed of Nebraska’s democratic governor? The only two times that the governor has spoken in O’Neill his meetings were ignored by the local democratic organ. Funny, isn't it? 4 • -o From information from various parts of the state it is apparent that the people have determined to clean the state house at the coming election. In Holt county the people are de termined to clean the court house. Two good slogans: “Clean the State House.” “Clean the Court House.” -o Secretary of State, C. W. Pool, has been caught with the goods. A strict stickler that the public shall. ab solutely stick to the law and gospel When doing business with him, he has % now been found sending out his cam paign cards in the envelopes contain ing election matter at state expense. He justifies his course by saying that the letters were going out anyway and the cards might as well be put in. Taking advantage of state postage to further his campaign for congress may save Mr. Pool some postage stamps, but it won’t make him many votes. -o Charles Pool, secretary of state and democratic candidate for congress in this district, is using state funds to conduct 'his campaign for congress. He is enclosing his campaign card in state envelopes, sent out at state ex pense to the voters in this district. By this graft he saves several hun dred dollars for himself and cheats the government out of that amount of money. This is but a sample of democratic honesty in the conduct of state affairs. Don’t you think Mr. Voter that it is time to have a change ? -o Finding that the charges made against republican candidates have fallen flat, democrats are now turning their attention toward the republican headquarters and trying to get some thing on Chairman E. D. Beach. The Lincoln Daily Star, which has been foremost in the misrepresentation stuff, now charges that Chairman Beach has sent out a letter in which he states that Governor Neville said in a speech that the election of re publican candidates would give Ger many reason to believe that the President had been repudiated. Chairman Beach got his information from the Star itself, which, under date of September 25th, said that in a speech at Alliance Governor Ne ville “pointed out the great encourage ment that would come to the German war lords from a repudiation of the national administration at the national election by the election of republican.” It appears that the Star has little confidence in its own news stories. -o Misrepresentation appears to be the largest stock in trade now handled by the democrats. They have been fol lowing Mr. McKelvie all over the state charging him with making state ments which are not true, only to find when investigated that their own speakers are the ones who have been pulling the misrepresentation stuff. They charge Mr. McKelvie with say ing that the tax burdens of the state have increased since the democrat* took control from $4,3(57,257.31 to $9,594,189.04. Mr. McKelvie was quoting the appropriations of the legislature for each bienium or two year period. Then they seek to prove that Mr, McKelvie “groosly misrep resented the amount by 100 per cent,” by going to state auditor’s office and bringing out figures and quoting for the yearly period against Mr. Mc Kelvie’s two year period. However, they fall down when the voter takes his pencil and figures for himself and discovers that the figures from the auditor’s office for the same period are about the same as those of the re publican candidate for governor. -o “Now that it is plain that the pub lic money is to be used in the attempt to beat Congressman Kinkaid”, said Frank A. Harrison today, “it is well for the public to speak up for Kin kaid. Last winter I spent a couple of months in Washington and while there I learned that Kinkaid was re garded as the most industrious man in congress. My observations con firmed the impression. He wasted no time in frivolities or social duties, but sticks to the job of caring for his Sixth district. Every request is at tended to personally, and every sug gestion from a constituent carefully considered. This consistent atten tion to the needs and desires of his constituents leads him to visit one of the many departments every day. He does not turn over the job to his secre tary, he does it himself, and in the de partments he is probably the best known - man in Washington. And he gets results. I think it will be a cold day when the voters of the Sixth dis trict turn against this sort of a pub lic servant—this perfect working machine. They will not be so foolish, Nathan Arnold Dead. Nathan Arnold, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Arnold of this city, died at his home on the Arnold ranch northwest of this city at 1:15 this afternoon, after an illness of but a few days of pneumonia. Deceased leaves a wife and little daughter, his parents and one sister to mourn the death of a kind and loving husband, father and son. Obituary notice next week. Go To Church Sunday .

The Crown Prince Writes to His Papa “On the Run, Somewhere in France” “Everywhere in France, “All the Time, “Dear Papa—I am writing on der run, as der brave and glorious soldiers under my command have not seen der Rhine for so long dat dey have started back dat vay, and of course I am go ing mit dem. Oh, pap, dere has been some offel dings happened here in France. First, I started in my big of fensive which was to crush de fool Americans, but dey know so little about military tactics dat dey vill not be crushed just like I vant ’em. I sent my men in der fight in big vaves, and ven dey got to de Americans dey all said “Boo” as loud as they could holl ler. Veil, according to vat yau have always told me, de Americans should have turned and run like blazes. But vat do }ou tink? Dem fool Ameri cans don’t know anything about war, and instead of running de odder vay, dey came right toVvard us. Some of dem was singing about “Ve won’t come back till it’s over, over dere,” or some odder foolish song, and some of dem were laffind like fools. Dey are so ignorant. But dey are offel reckless mit dere guns, and ven dey come toward us it vas dat my men took a notion dey vanted to go back to de dear ole Rhine. Ve don’t like de little dirty Marne river, anyhow. And oh, pap, dem Americans use such offel language. Dey know notting of kultur and say such offel dings right before us. And dey talk blasphemy top. Vot you tink dey said right in front of my face? One big husky from a place dey call Missouri, he said —oh, papa, I hate to tel you vat an offel ding he said—but I can’t help it: he said, “to hell mit der Kaiser!” Did you ever hear anything so offel? I didn’t tink anybody would say sech an offel ting. It made me so mad. I vouldn’t stan and hear sech an offel ting so I turned around and ran mit der odder boys. Vas I right? Vat And, oh, papa, you know dem breast plates vot you sent us—can you send some to put on our back? You know ve are going de odder vay now, and the breastplates are no good, for de cowardly Americans dey are shooting us right in d#r back. Some of our boys took off der breastplates and put em behind, but de fool Americans are playing “Der Star Spangled Banner” mit machine guns on dem plates. Can’t you help us? You remember in your speech you said nothing could stand before the brave German soldiers? Oh, papa, I don’t believe de ignorant Americans ever read your speech, for dey run after us just like ve vas a lot of rabbits. Vot do you (Concluded next week.) t; _ , v f ' “THE YANKS ARE COMING!” -■ . - a Here is the long, lean, lanky Yank, the most typical picture yet published ef one of the American fighting men In action. Each Yank, delivered F. 6. B, France, costs the proceeds of forty-one $50 Liberty Bonds. It s against all precedent. It’s Blm ply not done, you know.” An American and an Allied officer crouched behind a precarious shelter near Bois de Belleau during a short bombardment preparatory to an at tack. It was the man experienced in years of trench warfare who made the remark. The American laughed. "These fel lows will break something else be side precedent before they are through. It may not ‘be done,’ but look, they are doing It!” Several platoon waves of long, lean, lanky Yanks had emerged from shel ter and were advancing In a typically American style. There was no bar rage, no slow, methodical walk be hind artillery protection, which has long been the proper thing on the Front. They dashed forward, took sorer, dashed forward again in short, rushing charges, cheerfully wiped out a JOw impeding machine gun nests and mopped bp a sector of Hun trench. They astonish the Allies, but they astonish the Germans stil) more. They still follow the old set rules of trench warfare where necessary, as at Can tigny, but once in the open the Yank is individuality itself. It costs forty-one |50 bonds to put one of these long, lean fighting boys on the front. His living expenses will have cost nine bonds and his personal equipment, six. It takes thirteen |50 bonds to buy his service equipment. His pay up to the time he is trained and in the fighting takes the proceeds of another nine. His housing and final transportation to France takes foui*bonds more We must have millions more of him. Every advantage in numbers' means a quicker, less costly finish to the war, and it is a proud American who can say that he has a representative, equipped and trained with his money, "breaking precedents’’ somewhere is France. —■ . ■-**-- -----____ ' —^
