RETURNS
The People of Cass County Have
Spoken in No Uncertain Tone.
RING" COMPLETELY ROUTED!
Not a Man They
for Saved to
The Election Returns.
As tin smoke of the battle
clears away in one of tliemost
hotly contested elections in
the history of Cass county (so
some of t lie oldest inhabitants
say) we find that the demo
crats have been rewarded for
their steadfastness to the
principles of "always putting
up the best men for office,"
by the election of Harvey I).
Travis, for county judjje, by
a majority of 365; William D.
Wheeler, for treasurer, V)2
majority; John I). McHride,
for sheriff, by V)2 majority,
and Prof. C. S. Wort man.
for county superintendent, by
171 majority. The contest
for county clerk' is still in
doubt, and a recount of the
entire county on this office
maybe demanded. n the
face of the returns, Tyson,
(republican) has a majority
over II. M. Soennichsen
(democrat ) of 10. The result
of this election shows a deter
mination on the part of the
people ol Cass county to vote
for the best men irrespective
of politics, and all that saved
Tyson, if he is elected, was
the fact of his candidacv for
re-election. A jjreat mam
believing in giving an official
the second term if he has done
well, or come anvwavs near
"filling the bill" with satisfac
tion.
W. D. Wheeler,
the successful candidate for
county treasurer, was consid
ered from date of his nomina
tion a safe winner, and the
returns show that the Jour
nal made no miscalculation on
this score. Nothing during
the campaign cuild be said
against him either as an
official or citizen, although
the News endeavored to make
its readers believe he was in
competent for the office. But
the people who know W. D.
Wheeler better than they
know the editor of the News
to the tune of l')2 ma
jority disputed the "talent
ed' editor of that paper. Mr.
Wheeler has lived in Cass
county for many years, and
the Journal prophesies that
he will retire from the office
with a record for honesty, in
tegrity and competency equal
' to any man who has ever held
; the responsible position. For
two terms he served as
sheriff of Cass county,
being elected each time by
handsome majorities on the
democratic ticket in a coun
ty that usually gives a repub
lican majority for the nation
al and state ticket of from
three to four hundred.
Worked So Hard
Tell the Tale..
Harvey D. Travis.
Harvey I). Travis, county
jude, was born in Colum
biana countv, Ohio. He was

thrown on his own resources
at an early age and obtained
his education by his own ef
forts. After leaving college
he studied law and was ad
mitted to the bar. He came
to Cass county in 1882, and
settled at Weeping Water.
In five years he was employed
in the most important litiga
tion in Cass and adjoining
counties; was elected county
attorney in 1890; served two
terms. He was the most suc
cessful county attorney the
county has ever had and Cass
county has had some excel
lent prosecutors. He convict
ed the slayers of Matt. Ake
son of murder in the first de
gree, securing the execution
of one of them Hill by name.
This was the first and last
execution in Cass county.
Judge Travis enjoys the con
fidence of his brother lawyers
and the people. The repub
lican papers and politicians
waged a bitter warfare on
him, but he came out of the
fight with a majority of 365,
the highest on the democratic
ticket.
C. S. Wortman,
who has been county super
intendent since last April,
when Prof. Smith resigned,
was elected to a full term in
that office by. a majority of
172. The manner in which
he has run that office during
that brief time appealed fa
vorably to all. Prof. Wort-
personal effort has pushed to
the front. The people of his
old home precinct jjave him a
llatterin endorsement at the
polls running ahead of his
ticket about 32 votes.
Mr. Wort man is an able
man and a good superinten
dent. Whether in the office,

he is always the same and has
a reputation of attending
strictly to his own business.
Our people made a wise selec
tion in commissioning him for
a full term of two years.
John D. McBride.
No man on the democrtic
ticket has more cause for con
gratulation than J. D. Mc
Bride. who has been re-elected
sheriff by nearly two hun
dred majority. In the face of
the serious charges made
against him by the News, his
success in this campaign is
simply phenominal. It shows
to what extent the influence
of the News and its catorie of
assistants bore upoji the
voters of Cass count'. J. D.
McBride, as the Journal has
frequently stated during the
campaign, has made an excel
lent sheriff; the people know
ing this as well as we did,
gave him a great vindication
is
at the polls, not only in this
city, but also throughout the
county. His friends, both
republicans and democrats
stood bv him manfully.
Many Thanks.
The result of the election
demonstrates that there is a
class of independent republi
can voters in Cass county
that have "grown weary" of
being "pulled into the traces"
year after year by the Platts
mouth ring. It is to this ele
ment that the successful can
didates on the democratic
ticket, to a great extent, owe
their success. The Journal
is authorized by each of these
gentlemen to return their
most sincere thanks to those
republicans who rendered
such valuable assistance in
their election. While we do
not consider the election of
the democratic candidates a
purely democratic victory, we
must give great credit to Mr.
II. R. Gering, chairman of
the county central committee,
for the able manner in which
he conducted the campaign;
and we also owe a great deal
to his associates in various
precincts for their generous
assistance in maintaining an
organization so manfully.
The methods adopted by
Tidd, Farley., Schneider &
Co., the returns show, were
not sanctioned by the liberal
voters of Cass county, and
one or two of the republican
candidates attribute their
defeat to the manner pursu
ed by the these fellows, and
thev now openly declare that
their underhanded operations
was enough to down any
party notwithstanding the
News persisted before the
conventions and howled inces
santly for days "for a clean
campaign." But, oh! how the
manager of that sheet has
fallen from grace!
The Journal was placed on
the defensive from the open
ing of the campaign, anxl how
well we managed our part,
the voters have already
spoken.

Semi-WeeKly Journal.
Some of the Journal's most
intimate friends have sug
gested to us in the past few
weeks the idea of issuing a
semi-weekly. We have been
thinking the matter over and
have finally come to the con
clusion to make the effort if
our friends throughout the
county will give us the proper
encouragement. What we
mean by encouragement is
for every friend of the Jour
nal to assist us in securing
new subscrbers. We are mak
ing arrangements to put in
some more new material and
machinery, which will greatly
aid us in our undertaking,
and we desire mir friends in
the various sections of the
county to go to work right
now and assist in extending
the circulation of the Journal.
There are a number of prom
inent democrats in every pre
cinct in Cass county who are
not taking the Journal, but
who should take it. To such
we cordially invite them to
become patrons of the only
democratic paper in Cass
county. The present man
agement of the Journal have
had control of the paper for
nearly two years and we be
lieve our patrons have all been
well pleased with it. Send

I must tell you we enjoy the climate

the fruit the past summer capped all.
Think of it the straw berries and rasp
berries are liner now than in the sum

semi-tropical climate flourish: oranges,
lemons, olives, ligs, dates, pears, plums,
apricots, cherries, apples, with nuts,

walnuts. On the south adjoining our
