Woodrow Wilson calls Jim Reed, of
Missouri, a marplot. There is noth
ing about the term to get heated about
and it really should help Jim in his
candidacy for re-election to the U. S.
senate. The word comes from to mar
and plot and Webster defines a mar
plot as “one who, by his officious in
terference, mars or frustrates a de
sign or plot.” Jim by his marplat
ting sure marred and frustrated quite
a few plots during the time Woodrow
was on the throne. As a marplotter
he is okeh, as Woodrow would say.
47-100 of an inch of rain fell here
last night accompanied by a very
heavy wind that did some damage to
the trees and telephone lines. At the
Cronin and Kilmurray farms near the
fair grounds the storm assumed the
proportions of a twister demolishing
the chicken house and hog house at the
Kilmurray place and the cattle bam,
and several other out-buildings at the
Cronin place. The plate glass window
on the west side of the Cigar store
was also blown out. Word comes from
over on Dry Creek that quite a num
ber of buildings and some large timber
was blown down during the storm.
We notice by the Omaha papers that
Walter K. Hodgkin is a candidate for
representative of the 95th district
comprising Cheyenne and Kimball
counties. Walter made his home in
this county for over thirty-five years
and was county attorney of this
county for four years, and filled the
position ably and well. He is a man
of good principles and has the courage
of his convictions. Mr. and Mrs. Hodg
kin moved to Sidney three years ago
where Walter has enjoyed a good
professional business. If the people of
his district know him as well as we do
here, there will be no doubt of his
receiving the support of the people at
the primary. If Walter is elected his
district will be well taken care of.
Walter’s many O’Neill friends will
watch the outcome of the campaign
with much interest.
