Active Campaign

didate for governor, has closed one
of the most active campaigns ever
staged by any candidate for this
office. During the primary cam

towns, making addresses and meet
ing the voters.
Coming as he does from the
western part of the state, he has
had an opportunity to bring to the

an agricultural state, he has stated
that he feels particularly competent
to look after the varied interests
of the state.

Gordon Journal, a past president of
the Nebraska Press Association,
and served four terms in the state
legislature. He is also a past de
partment commander of the Ameri

In closing his campaign, he has
expressed the wish that every voter
in the state would vote on Novmber
6, for our government will be only
what we want when all voters take
part.

Says Will Not Make
Campaign Promises
“Seme people tell me I might
gain many votes by making a lot
of nice sounding political promises,”
said Karl Stefan, candidate for con
gress, recently in addressing a
group of friends, “but I feel that it
is wreng to mislead people that
way. For years I have listened to
the promises of politicians but most
of these were quickly forgotten by
the candidate after he was elected.
Years ago, my parents taught me
that I must not make careless prom
ises and I have always tried to live
up to those teachings. So, in this
campaign, I am only making the
plain statements that I will study
the needs of this district, talk with
the people often, and then work
conscientiously for those things
which will help to bring us out of
our present difficulties. I am not
a very good politician, but if I am
honored by election to congress,
my sincere purpose will be to go on
serving you he very best I can,
just as I have tried to do in the
past when we gathered around the
mythical noonday table.”
Red Bird Ball Team
The Red Bird Ball Team had
their final meeting for the 1934
season last week. During the past
season Roy Karr was very liberal
with the boys and did as much for
the team as the average town. The
team had a very successful season
and there was a nice purse to be
divided among the members.
On behalf of the ball club I wish
to thank our many briends for at
tending the games and boosting for
our boys. Personally I think the
team was worthy of the support
given them. During the season we
played 30 games, winning 24 and
losing 6, a very nice percentage.

Buying Of Purebred
Cattle Will Start Soon
Numerous inquiries' have been
made at the County Agents office
regarding the Purebred. Cattle buy
ing program. We are now inform
ed that buying will start in Ne
braska in a short time. The tenta
tive plan is to buy in the panhandle
first and work east. Since they
will buy only a limited number
those having purebred cattle to sell
should get in touch with E. E. Stin
son or W. R. Bolen. Address all
communications to them in care of
John Pohland, U. S. Indian Service,
P. O. Box 3103, Central Station,
Kansas City, Mo.
Anyone having opportunity to
sell to other buyers are urged to do
so since it is doubtful if any large
number will be purchased in Holt
county.

Ernest Itichter, one of the ener
getic and hustling farmers of the
Dorsey country, was a pleasant
caller at this office last Wednesday
and extended his subscription to
this household necessity. Ernie is
an extensive farmer but he still
takes a little time to devote to
sports and the past year he was
the manager of the Redbird base
ball team, a team that made a
splendid record during the season.
He figures that during the coming
season they will have even a better
team than they had the past year,
unless organized ball takes some of
their star players, and if they do
they will develop some more.
