been voting the republican ticket
straight since the organization of the
party and has never missed an elec
tion. He expects to continue to vote
the ticket straight for many years to
tome.
Mr. Hite came to Nebraska more
than 30 years ago and settled first
in Cass county. He is a great great
grandfather and is hale and hearty,
both physically and mentully. He
now is residing with his daughter,
Mrs. Flora B. Lewis, of O'Neill.
Recalling his first vote as a repub
lican, at Dayton, O., Mr. Hite says
that at that election there were only
four republican ballots, including his
own, cast In the precinct. Four years
later the republican strength had in
creased to more than 25 in the pre
cinct. The republicans were called
“barn burners'’ in those days, he
