The community was covered with a pall of sadness last Friday evening when it was learned that Donald, the little two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J.

Mrs. Collins and the little fellow’ were staying at the Charles Harding farm, better known as the Carlon farm, just south of the Burlington round house in O’Neill, Mrs. Collins missed the little fellow about two thirty in the afternoon and began a search for him. Several neighbors also assisted in the search and not until about five o’clock was there any trace of the boy to be found.

LA FOLLETTE PARTY DOES NOT ENDORSE JOHN A. ROBERTSON John A. Robertson, democratic can didate for state senator in the Twenty second district, which comprises Holt, Boyd, Keya Paha, Brown and Rock counties, is not endorsed by the La Follette party in Nebraska. Efforts to make it appear that Robertson has the LaFollette endorsement as against W. L. Philley, the republican nominee, through the publication in an Omaha newspaper of a list of candidates al leged to have the endorsement of a “progressive party” brings forth the following scathing denunciation of the scheme from M. F. Harrington, one of the LaFollette leaders in the state, who speaks with authority for the La Follette organization: Complying with the request that I state the present situation of the so called ‘Progressive’ party in Nebraska and about the endorsement of John A. Robertson against Mr. Philley for state Senator in this district. The word comes that a few politicians as sembled in a room either in Omaha or in Lincoln, and there seems to be a debate as to which place it occurred, endorsed Mr. Robertson. Now what is this present political party in Ne braska that is using the name ‘Pro gressive?’ Legally they have the right to use that name and under the law, we, the supporters of LaFollette when we met at Grand Island, had to adopt the name of the new party ‘The LaFollette Independent Party.’ We had absolutely nothing to do with this bunch of fakirs who are running what they have so called the ‘Progressive’ party. Senator LaFollette and Sena tor Wheeler and our National Com-! mittee requested us in Nebraska to endorse nobody for any office what-! soever. We were loyal to this new organization and we endorsed nobody and we will endorse nobody as a poli tical party. We have left every indi vidual to vote for such candidates for any state or local office as he or she may think the most progressive and the best qualified for the position. “Now about this ‘Progressive’ party. In 1912 we organized a progressive party in Nebraska to support Theo dore Roosevelt for president. We ran a state ticket two years later and after that the party was disbanded. Back about four or five years ago a few men got together arid organized another and totally different ‘Progres sive’ party. It has never had but a hand tui ot voters in the state but legally they are using the name ‘Progres sive’ and solely for the purpose of fooling voters. It is a little machine that is endorsing different candidates. For example, they have nominated for United States Senator a standpat Democrat against a splendid progres sive, George W. Norris. Can any sup porter of LaFollette pay any attention to a state political crowd that want to defeat George Norris? In our state convention we refused to nomi nate any candidate for governor or any other state office, but this bunch of political fakirs that are using the I name ‘Progressive’ have endorsed the I Democratic candidate for governor although knowing full well that he wrote a letter to the democratic state committee that he was 100 per cent for John Wallstreet Davis. That tells plainly where this bunch of fakirs stand. The people of the state should be fully advised as to the full situa tion. “11 would be very unwise for La Follette’s supporters to get in line to support a Democrat and thereby make enemies. We have agreed to leave each voter free to do as he or she pleases in the matter of voting for FOR SALE!

F r Service ——— Auto Accessories of All Kinds Repair Work and Welding a Specialty. -Storage Office-186 Residence-141 O’Neill, Neb. local candidates, since the party or ganization would not endorse. Now in this senatorial district there are many more republicans than demo crats. My own observation is that in the condition this year LaFollebte will get about the same per cent from both Republicans and Democrats. But in this district, he will naturally get more from the Republican party than from the Democratic party because there are more Republicans in the dis trict than there are Democrats. No doubt the LaFollette voters in the district who have heretofore been Re publicans are likely quite generally to vote for Mr. Philley and the LaFol lette voters in the district who have been heretofore Domocrats are likely I to vote tor Mr. Robertson. Under these conditions it would be extremely unwise for Mr. LaFollette’s friends to give any offence tfc the many friends of Mr. Philley who are coming over from the Republican party to help elect LeFollette and Wheeler. We ought to just stick to what we have agreed on and that is that our party will not give an endorsement to any candidate. LaFollette’s friends, of course, are at liberty personally to urge the LaFollette supporters to vote for this condidate or that candidate, but as far as the party organization is concerned, we are endorsing no body. There has never been an or ganization where there is a better feeling and a more kindly spirit in the rank and file of the voters than there is among the men and women who are supporting Bob LaFollette. Let us keep that up and don’t let us be hood winked or fooled by a bunch of politi cians who are misusing the name ‘Progressive.’ Yours truly, M. F. HARRINGTON.” LUTHERAN SERVICE.
