PTES EXACT FACTS
Court Takes Exceptions o the
World Herald's Ke marks.
Dcmocntle Orto Criticises tho Cass
County Authorities la Regard to the
Form In Which the Election BsltoU
Were Printed The Law Strictly Con?
plied With.
From Monday's Daily.
I'LATTSMOUTH, Neb., Nov. 5, 1900.
To G.L.Farley,chairman of the county
central committee: After reading the
article in the World-Herald of this
morning, bearing the headlines "Meth
ods used to get Cass," and in order
that fairminded citizens may have tha
ex ict facts relative to the situation, I
desire to make this statement:
Section 17 of Chapter 26, entitled
Elections, of the compiled statutes of
1899, is the section under which the
county judge is authorized to commis
sion the judges and clerks of election
for the different precincts throughout
the county.
The first' few lines of the section
reading to the first provision gives the
judge authority to roako these selec
tions in accordance with his ideas of
what is just and right, where there
are no recommendations certified to
him from the precinct primary.
The first provision authorizes the
judge to proceed upon the recommend
ations and certificates of nomination
filed in his office ten days prior to the
election.
The third provision of the" law di
rects the judge how to proceed when
there are two parties, and two only,
upon the official ballot Now, I ven
ture the assertion that the man does
not live who can follow out the letter
of this statute and still do justice to
the voters of the county.
If we suppose that all of the parties
mentioned on the official ballot have 1
certified judges and clerks of election
to the county judge, then we have to
deal with the republican, people s in
dependent.democrat, silver republican.
prohibition, mid-road populist and so
cialist, seven in all whereas, the law
only provides for five members on lhe
election boards in the country districts.
Then suppose that we act under that
provision and appoint a republican
judge, a people's independent judge, a
democrat judge, a silver republican
clerk and a prohibition clerk.
Then, since the interests of the peo
ple's independent, democrat and silver
republican parties are identical, for
they all vote for the same candidate,
national, state and county, and are
virtually one party, wo would have in
every precinct in Cass county, regard
less of the majority vote in the pre
cinct, three members on every elec
tion board whoe interests are identi
cal, which I think is not in accordance
with the spirit of the law. In select
ing the boards throughout the county,
I- have followed the second provision
of the statute,and considered the three
fusion parties as one and the republi
can party as tne otner, since tnese
parties are tho only ones that have
sent in their certificates of nomination
from tho precincts in the county.
In thus construing the law, I think
I have followed the construction
placed upon it by one of the leading
democrats of Pattsmoutb. I say this
because there were no certificates of
nomination filed from any of the wards
n Plattsmouth by the democratic, peo
ple's independent or silvor republicans:
and so I acted upon the recommenda-
ion of the democratic leaders in ap
pointing the judges and clerks in the
city of Plattsmouth, and strange as it
may seem, not one of the names that
they suggested was from either the
people's independent or the Bilver re
publican party.
As to the country districts, there
were no certificates of nomination filed
by tho people's independent party from
Center, Eight Mile Grove. Greenwood,
First district West Rock Bluffs, Tip
ton, First, Second and Third wards of
Weeping Water, and there were no
certificates of nomination filed in this
office from democratic primaries in
Elmwood, Greenwood, Stove Creek,
Tipton, nor the Second ward of Weep
ing Water. -
And in these precincts I made the
best selections that could be made un
der the circumstances and in every in
stance my aim has been in tho pre"
clnct where tho republicans cast the
majority vote to give them two judges
and one clerk of the board, and divide
the other two members between the
democrats and people's independent.
where both have certified names to be
placed on the election board; and in
the precincts where the fusion forecs
have cast the majority vote, I have
given them two judges and one clerk.
and where they have both certified in.
both parties have been represented on
the election board. -
The statement in the World-Herald
article relative to Eight Mile Grove is
false, and is a base mlsrearesenta
tion. The democrats in that nrerlnt
have two judges and one clerk, and the
republicans one judge and one clerk
In this precinct, aa I have stated
above, the people's independent party
did notertify any one to be placed on
the board. .
The matter of the red lines through
Mr. Waggoner's name from Avcca
precinct, "was simply the clerk's meth
od of correcting an error, and no com
mission was ever issued to Mr. Wag
goner, he representing the people's
Independent-parly, for the reason that
that party has a representative on the
election board in Avoca precinct in the
person of Mr. G. L. Spohn, one of the
clerks.
The record also shows that in Ne
hawka precinct, Mr. C. D. West, who
was appointed as judge of election on
the 25ih day of October, resigned his
commission as such judge on the 31st
of October, and Henry M, Pollard was
appointed in his stead on lhe same
day.
If there are any irregularities in the
appointment of election boards, there
is ample provision made in the statute
for the correction of any mistake, or
the removal of any member of an
election board who is not legally enti
tled to bis commission; but it seems
that our fusion friends would rather fly
into print and if possible make a little
campaign thunder out of tha imagin
ary wrongs.
Respectfully submitted,
J. E. DOUGLASS,
County Judge.
Complied With the Law.
An article in today's World-Herald
criticises the county clerk for printing
the ballots with names of candidates
and party designation on one line in
stead of placing them under each other
and placing a bracket around them.
I wish to simply state that I have fol
lowed the statutes exactly in this mat
ter, and if any one doubts I respect
fully refer him to the election laws.
James Robertson.
County Clerk.

The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is i n good con
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the sj-stem ;
'otherwise it would rapidly accutuulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, ctive circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.
As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S.
has no equal. It is the safest and best
remedy for old people and children
because it contains no minerals, but is
made exclusively of roots and herbs.
No other remedy so thoroughly and
effectually cleanses the blood of im-
purities. At the
same time it builds
up the weak and de
bilitated, and reno
vates the entire sys
tem. It cures permanently all manner
of blood and skin troubles.
Mr. E. E. Kelly, of Urban a, O.. writes
" I had Ecaema on my bands ana t aca tor
five years. It would break out in little
white pustules, crusts would form and
drop off, leaving the skin red and inflam
ed. The doctors did me no good. I used
all the medicated soaps and salves without
benefit. 8. 8. 8. cured me, and my skin
is as clear and smooth as any one's."
Mra. Henry Siegfried, of Cape May, IT.
J., says thatwenty-one bottles of 8. 8. 8.
cured her of Cancer of the breast. Doc

less.. Richard T. Gardner, Florence, 8. C,

tles of 8. 8. S. put his blood in good con
dition and the Boils disappeared.
