M, F. Tom jack, one of the pioneers
of Deloit township now residing in
Ewing, was an O’Neill visitor Monday
and made this office a pleasant call,
ordering his name enrolled on The
Frontier’s subscription list for the
ensuing year. Mr. Tom jack recently
made a trip to counties to the east of
us and he said that conditions there
were much worse than they are here,
on account of lack of moisture. In
many places, even in Antelope county,
the ulfalfa is turning brown from a
lack of moisture.

master at Star for the past 20 years,

was to attend the annual meeting of
the association of Nebraska Post
masters, which was held in that city
last Monday and Tuesday. It is

I wish I might be able to go
home and campaign a little for
the approaching Congressional pri
mary, but the call of public duty
must be superior to the call of
politics. Duty impels me to re
main in Washington as long as the
Congress shall remain in session.
How long that will be no man
knows. Those of my home folks
who approve my work In Washing
ton will find my name on the
Democratic primary ballots. Of
course, 1 would like to be nomi
nated and re-elected. My record
is my only campaign argument. 1
leave the result with my home
folks, Rnd will cheerfully abide by
their decision.
Sincerely.
