For Clerk of the District Court.
I have filed as a candidate for nomi
nation to the office of Clerk of the
District Court of Holt county, subject
to the action of the republican voters
at the primary election on April 20,
1920. If nominated and elected I
promise to perform the duties of the
office to the best of my ability, with
out fear or favor. Your vote and
active support at the primary will be
greatly appreciated.
J. A. JARMAN,
41-6 Chambers, Nebr.
To The Public and Voters In the 15th
Judicial District Nebraska.
The undersigned having caused his
name to be placed upon the ticket for
the office of Judge of the District Court
in the 16th Judicial District of Ne
braska, takes this method of telling
those not acquainted with him why he
has done so.
FIRST: I have done it because I
desire to be nominated and elected to
the office, if the voters of the district
agree with me.
SECOND: After a practice of
practically 40 years in the courts of
the district I have seen some things
which the Judges do which to my mind
they should not. And at the same time
I have seen many things which Judges
do not do which to my mind they
should do. And both of which with
my long experience and observation I
believe can be overcome to the ma
terial advantage of litigants and sav
ing to the people of court expenses.
THIRD: A great many people of
the district have said and written me
saying that it was a shame that there
was no one who would come out for
the office so they might at least have
a chance to vote without being com
pelled to vote for a man whether they
wanted to or not, that this being the
second time it had occurred for this
office it looked to them as though no
one dared to try for the office.
There are many old settlers in the
district who know me personally and
know whether in their judgment I am
qualified for the office or not, to those
who do not know me I would suggest
that they inquire of those who do and
consider forty years of practice as
some recommendation.
It will not be possible for me to
meet many prior to the primaries but
I shall try and see a great many be
fore the election and will at all times
answer any proper questions which
may be asked, either in person or by
mail.
1 can say at this time that if elected
there will be no strings on me. I have
no close friends to reward, or enemies
to condemn. I shall be in a position
to act in every instance according to
my best judgment in conformity with
the law as I understand it, without
fear or favor from any man or com
bination of men.
Your votes at the primaries April
20th and the election in November
will be apreciated.
Very respectfully yours,
H. M. UTTLEY,
Candidate for Judge 15th Judicial
District of Nebraska. 43-2p
Announcement of M. P. Kinkaid For
the Republican Re-nomination For
Representative In Congress.
I respectfully submit to the voters
of the Sixth District my candidacy for
re-nomination for Congress. I believe
the record of my seventeen years of
service is a guarantee of the efforts
I have made in their behalf, also of
their confidence in the success of those
efforts.
Great changes have come in that
period.. Agriculture has come to be
recognized as the most important of
our industries. Irrigation has devel
oped new areas of cultivation, and
must continue to do so. Potash dis
coveries in our Sixth District has
made it one of the greatest factors in
this country in furthering agri
cultural development.
My long service has placed me at
the head of the Committee on Irriga
tion of Arid Lands, besides giving me
advanced positions on other com
mittees, and has otherwise afforded me
an opportunity to be of still larger
service to my constituents, and it is
because I feel that I can render that
better and larger service that I sub
mit my candidacy again to the voters
of the Sixth District.
, I maintain there should be a more
equitable division between the price
realized by the producer and that paid
by the ultimate consumer, and that
this should be accomplished largely
by the firm enforcement of existing
federal antitrust statutes.
The cost of labor is regulated
largely by the cost of living, and
American labor has the right to ex
pect a living wage, commensurate with
American standards of living as com
pared with the lower standards of for
eign countries.
I favor the reduction of the present
heavy federal taxes as fast as may be,
consistent with the actual necessities
of the Government, based upon trulj
economical management, outstanding
obligations, and the maintenance oi
the integrity of our national credit
and that the masses should be relieved
in a measure by shifting a portion oi
their tax burdens to the shoulders ol
those who realize immense profits on
war contracts.
Shall support the Soldiers’ Four-fold
adjusted Compensation bill, recom
mended by the American Legion.
Am opposing compulsory military
training in accordance with the ma
pority sentiment of my constituents.
TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF
HOLT COUNTY:
There are tw# Delegates' to be
elected from the 6th Congressional
District to the Republican National
Convention. I shall appreciate a good
vote in my home county as one of the
Delegates. In this connection I desire
to make a personal appeal in behalf of
Mr. Woodruff Ball of Valentine, who
is also a candidate.
Mr. Ball like myself is running en
tirely independent of any slate or
combination. We both stand pledged
to abide by the preferential expression
of the republican voters at the pri
mary.

FOR COUNTY JUDGE.
Judge C. J. Malone is a candidate
before the Primary April 20, 1920, for
nomination for County Judge. In his
campaign of 1916 he promised if
elected he would make the County
Court self sustaining, and the record
of that office shows that he has kept
his promise. Since January 1, 1917,
the fees and receipts of the office have
exceeded the expenditures. For the
year 1919 he paid to the treasury of
Holt County excess fees amounting to
the sum of $1,073.00, the greatest ex
cess ever earned by that office in one
year. Judge Malone is justly proud
of his record and of the fact that the
County Court under his administration
is self sustaining.—Adv.

A TEST OF SINCERITY.
Tuesday will be primary day anc
those who profess to favor the princi
ple of self-determination for small
enslaved and oppressed nations wil
have an opportunity to demonstrate
just how sincere they are in theii
utterances and professions along this
line. At the primary the voters are to
express a preference on candidates for
the presidency and the delegates to
the national conventions of both
parties are supposed to be bound by
law to follow by their action the
preferences expressed.
The republican party is opposed to
entering into any treaty or pact with
the monarchies of the old world
whereby the United States pledges
itself to assist in preserving the terri
torial integrity of tjhcse European
nations. Preserving territorial in
tegrity means exactly what it says,
It means that the territorial bounda
ries and jurisdictions are to be main
tained just as they are. That no
subject or subjugated people may ex
pect any sympathy or expressions of
sympathy from any member of the
alliance as against any other membei
of the alliance. United States Senator
Hiram Johnson of California is the
only candidate of either party that is
opposed to any peace pact whatever
that will require the United States tc
lend even moral support to the hold
ing of a subject people in perpetual
bondage. All other candidates favoi
a peace pact of some kind. The demo
cratic candidates are in favor of the
pact just as Presient Wilson wants ifc
Without the crossing of a “t” or the
dotting of an “i.” Senator Gilbert M
Hitchcock, who is seeking the Ne
braska delegation to the democratic
convention in his own interests as a
presidential candidate, has led ithc
fight for the treaty as President Wil
son wants it. He is the president’s
mouthpiece, and he still is contending
for the policies of the president. He
never has had time to attenl a meet
ing of a Senate committee where the
Irish question was being considered
He never will have time to considei
the Irish question. It may be thal
party ties cause him to look upon the
freedom of Irelhnd as tommyrot. Ir
the opinion of Senator Hitchcock the
question of whether near beer shal
contain one-half of one per cent oi
enthusiasm,or two per cent or three
per cent or four per cent, is of fai
more vital importance than the free
ing of an enslaved people. He is
making his fight for the highest office
in the gift of the people on this greai
principle of more kick in our drinks.
W. J. Bryan, who thought the
treaty a mistake, has modified his
views and thinks we should have som,
kind of a treaty to save the face of
the democratic party. He, like Sena
tor Hitchcock, thinks the near beer
question the one upon which the cam
paign should be fought out. He
would have no kick at all in near beer.
Party ties naturally cause Mr. Bryan
to consider the Irish question tommy
rot and something not to be referred
to in polite society. Senator Wil
liams, who favors emphatic near beer,
was the only democratic senator who
had the guts to state clearly and
definitely the position of the demo
cratic party on the Irish question.
The actions of a majority of the demo
cratic senators since the Williams
speech indicate that they consider
Senator Williams about right.
Senator Hiram Johnson has from the
first been an advocate of the oppressed
peoples of the world. He is against
any peace or highbinder league. The
people in the states in which he has
spoken in the interest of his own can
didacy have upset the dope of the
political prophets by giving him a
phenominal vote and he is daily be
coming a more formidable candidate
for the presidency. Tuesday the
people of Nebraska will vote a presi
dential preference. Nebraska is not
a pivotal state, but if Johnson carries
Nebraska at the primaries other
states are very apt to fall in line.
States as well as individuals are great
on getting into the band wagon. A
big vote for Johnson next Tuesday in
Nebraska may make a great many
voters in other states Johnson men'.!
A great many Irish democrats in |
Holt and other counties have declared
their intention of voting for Hiram
Johnson this fall if he should bethere
publican nominee for president. They
have not yet said however that they
will support him at the primaries.
If he represents their principles suf
ficiently to entitle him to their votes
at the general election and they truly
and sincerely desire to see him presi
dent it would be an expression of
their sentiment* to vote for him at
the republican primaries. It is a;
cinch that no democrat is going to
be elected president of the United
States this 'fall. Some 'republican
will be elected. Are the Irish demo
crats sincere in their pleas for Irish
recognition and will they show their
sincerity by helping to nominate a
man who represents their views?
Hiram Johnson cannot be elected
president if he is not nominated. The
old folks over there are looking to you.
Hiram Johnson and the folks over
there need your vote next Tuesday.
It might not be of any use to them
next November.
I' ink A. Harrison of Lincoln, state
nn.nager of the Johnson campaign,

arise, and it may, that Wood and
Johnson should be the principle candi
dates at the national convenion, and
it becomes necessary to eliminate one
to assure the nomination of the other,
which candidate would this delegation
double cross? The voter Tuesday will
make no mistake in voting for S. J.
