CAII01DMES WHO VJILL SERVE THE
H llllEfitSlS OF
Democratic Candidates Are Worthy of the Votes
of Every Taxpayer and Citizen Regardless
of Party or Creed
National politics may have an Im
portance that calls for party fealty
and party solidity in order to work
out the principles and policies of
great national politicians, hut no such
exigency exists in the affairs of our
county, and seldom in the affairs of
our state. Here we are all at home
aad the affairs that are controlled
by the election of public servants
are the local affairs of our own com
munity of Interests and we are all
in a position to thoroughly under
stand the character and condition
of each local candidate. Where we
go out to trade, or to transact busi
ness of a general character we are
all disposed to trade or transact busl
cess with those people whom we like
best and in whom we have the most
confidence. And we all prefer to
transact our public business along
these cordial lines. And the Journal
Is not going to ask the people of
(.'ass county to vote for a single man
for office next Tuesday, simply be
cause he is a Democrat, but because
we believe he is the best man for
the position for which he is a candi
date, and better adapted to serve
the taxpayers and those interested
in seeing the public affairs of Cass
ounty conducted in such a manner
as will reflect credit upon the peo
ple and honor to themselves. The
voter cannot possibly make any mis
take In supporting the following
ticket in its entirety:
Frank K. Schlater
Who has served the people so
faithfully and efficiently for two
years, is a candidate for re-election
and asks them to endorse him at
the polls for the second term. Those
who know Frank Schlater well will
all vote for him, because they know
he is honest and competent, and has
done his duty well In the past. He
has Berved one term as county treas
urer and the record he has made in
that office is beyond reproach. He
is an unobjectionable public official,
aad has discharged his duties with
care, economy and ability. Can you
better those conditions by displacing
him with a man who has yet to earn
the class into which he is to be
placed? Frank E. Schlater has
earned your loyal and hearty sup
port. FA S. Tutt.
The above named gentleman is a
young man of sterling qualities and
worth. He served two years as de
puty sheriff under John D. McBrlde,
and performed his duties as such of
ficial to the entire satisfaction of all
who had business with the sheriff's
office during his incumbency. He
was born and reared in Cass county
and the people who know him from
boyhood up, can vouch for his hon
esty and integrity. That he will
make an efficient official no one will
have the audacity to question. Ed
Tutt should receive the support of
every voter who believes that the
office of sheriff Is a public trust and
that the affairs of the office Bhould
he conducted In an honorable and
legitimate manner.
1). C. Morgan.
Our candidate for county clerk is
a gentleman, whose character is as
dear as the noonday sun In a cloud
less sky. Those who know him best
are his friends, because they know
his every day life has been that of
aa honorable, upright citizen. He
as served nearly four years as
the faithful, reliable and efficient
deputy of County Clerk Rosencrans
and all who have had business In
that office know that all the Journal
has said In reference to his candl
dacy is the truth. His record is an
open book and everyone will bear
us out in the assertion that there
are no better men, or any that are
superior to him for county clerk than
Clell Morgan. All voters who desire
COlll
the office to be run with that ef
ficiency in the future as it has been
in the past four years, will vote for
him.
Michael Archer.
For county Judge we have a candi
date who has been a resident of Cass
county for many years, and whose
interests have been those of the peo
ple of the county. Judge Archer is a
good man in every sense of the term,
and is one of the best lawyers at the
Cass county bar. We doubt if there
is an attorney in the county better
read up on the law. He is Just the
kind of man to fill the office of coun
ty judge, because he will ever have
an eye especially to the interests of
all widows and orphans In the set
tlement of estates, and these inter
ests will be most carefully guarded
by Judge Archer.
Andrew J. Snyder.
Here is another Cass county pro
duction who should be honored by
his election to the office of register
cf deeds, a position he is so eminent
ly fitted to fill. Andy Snyder Is a
young man who is a friend to every
body he meets, and to know him is
to love him. Reared on the farm,
educated in the common schools, hon
orable In all his dealings, his record
as. a man and citizen Is one to be
proud of. He should be elected to
the office of register of deeds because
he is well fitted for the place. The
people will find him, if elected, a
gentleman who will always be a ges
tleman in carrying out the duties of
his office. A vcte for Andy Snyder
Is a vote for the proper person for
the proper place.
Miss Mary K. Foster.
So well and faithfully has this
ady performed the duties of the of
fice of county superintendent of
schools that the people of Cass coun
ty, and especially those who are truly
Interested in the public schools, will
decide to let "well enough alone,"
and vote to retain her for a second
term. Miss Foster has had consider
able experience in the public schools,
and has been a teacher for some
years. She enjoys the distinction
among a few In the state of Nebras
ka of holding a life certificate, issued
by state authorities, while her op
ponent had hard work to secure a
third grade certificate, and had to go
out of the county to secure that. Miss
Foster Is well known for her excel
lent qualities, and we do not believe
the voters of Cass county will turn
her down for a man who has been a
resident of the county for two years,
and "Is here today and there tomor
row" sort of citizen.
George P. Melslngcr.
The above named gentleman
should be elected to the position of
county commissioner because he Is a
citizen who will have the true Inter
ests of the entire county at heart dur
ing his administration. He is one of
the county's noblemen, belonging to
one of the best families In Nebraska,
and can be depended upon to do his
duty at all times and under all cir
cumstances. He will have no fear
for friend or foe In carrying out what
be thinks la for the best interests of
the entire people of Cass county. If
you want this kind of a man on the
board of- county commissioners, vote
for George P. Melslnger.
Fred Patterson.
Fred Patterson is the only regu
larly nominated candidate for county
surveyor. Mr. Patterson Is one of
Cass county's best citizens, and has
lived here for many years. He
learned the art of surveying in his
early manhood, and for years follow-
ed Is as a profession. He understands
the business to perfection, and should
be elected because he will prove "the"
right man In the right place."
County Coroner.
E. Ratnour of Weeping Water U
our candidate ror coroner, iwo
years ago he came within a very few
votes of being elected to this posi
tion. Mr. Radnour is one of the most
reliable undertakers and embalmers
in eastern Nebraska, and there are
none better qualified for this office.
He Is a good man and one of the
leading business men of the city of
Weeping Water. A vote for Mr. Rat
nour is a vote for a gentleman that
you will never regret.
Held for Wife Abandonment.
In county court this morning Judge
Beeson held Sharles Neligh, a resi
dent of Wisner, Neb., for trial la the
district court in bonds of $500 for
wife abandonment, which he gave
and was given his liberty. Neligh
was taken into custody at Wisner by
Sheriff Quinton on a warrant issued
out of the county court several days
ago, and brought back to this city for
trial. He was married in this city to
Ethel York, a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. York, and after living with
her a short time he abandoned her,
according to the complaint on file in
county court, and has since failed to
provide for her in any manner. lit
Is quite well known in this vicinity,
where he lived with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. A. E. B. Neligh, for many
years. The Nelighs moved to Wis
ner several years ago, and the young
man accompanied them. It was at
tills point that he was located when
this complaint was filed. Mrs. Neligh
it is stated, is being sued for divorce
by Neligh, his mother, who is in the
city, being authority for that state
ment. The entire matter seems to be
most unfortunate and regrettable, as
the two are among the popular young
people of this vicinity.
Flection Officials Notified.
In another place the Journal
speaks of the officers who served at
the primary election serving at this
fall's election. Today the Journal re
porter made an effort to secure an
authoritative expression from Clerk
of the Court Robertson, who appoint
ed the officials, but that gentleman
had not returned from his trip into
the county, and it could not be ob
tained. However, his deputy, Miss
Jessie Robertson, stated that the law
was quite plain on the matter, and
the officers who served at the pri
mary election last. August would hold
over and serve on next Tuesday. The
law does not provide for any official
notification from the clerk of their
term cf office except as contained In
the notice of their appointment, but
it does provide that they shall serve
at the official general election. Miss
Robertson states she has had many
Inquiries by phone and otherwise as
to thl3, and the law Is ns set forth
above. Therefore, ail Judges and
clerks who served in the several
wards and precincts in the county at
the August primary will report on
next Tuesday morning for service at
the general election.
To (Jive Fine Supper.
Next week cn Wednesday from ! to
8 p. in., the ladies cf St. John's Cath
olic church will give one of their de
lightful suppers at Coatcs hall. To
those who have been guests at these
gatherings in the past it Is unneces
sary to say anything of the good
things in store at that time. The
sippers which these ladies have given
have always rnnked as among the
most superb collations served In the
city, and Invariably they have splen
didly patronized. The one next Wed
nesday, November 3, will be no ex
ception to the rule and doubtless the
attendance will be much larger than
ever before. A large number of
ladies are now selling tickets for the
affair, and they are meeting with
splendid success. In addition to giv
ing their patrons more than their
money's worth, the ladies have a
grand object to work for, and it alone
merits a magnificent attendance.
Huffman Wins Three Dollars.
Wescott's Sons yesterday afternoon
had a big crowd of people present
when the clock was unveiled to see
who come closest to winning the
three green dollars which they give
away every Wednesday. S. H. Huff
man of this city was the lucky man.
He held a ticket calling for 6:28:25,
while the clock stopped at 4:58:45.
Mr. Huffman was almost the farth
est away from the winning number
of any of the lucky ones, and that
just illustrates bow the chance runs
These regular unveiling and awards
are becoming one of the weekly at
tractions of the city and a great many
people come in from the country to
be present and see how close they
come to winning the valuable prize.
The next unveiling takes place on

THROUGH THE
HEWKT STATE
Charles Grimes Writes of His
Trip to Southland
When I last closed this narrative
of strange doings and happenings In
the southland, I had succeeded In
getting as far as the south line of
Oklahoma, a matter accomplished
after a great deal of hard work and
the use of many words and expres
sions. I made the run through Okla
homa during the night time, and
therefore am not In a position to
speak from personal observation of
the ravages of drouth and the burn
ing winds, but I talked with travelers
who got on the train at various
points, and from them I found condi
tions to be more Intense than farther
north. The corn crop is Btated by all
to be the shortest in the history of
the new state, the long drouth leav
ing the fields in shape for a burning
wind, which came up in August like
a blight and turned the green fields
Into seared and yellow prairies. Fo:1
years com had been one of the staple
crops of the new state, and each suc
ceeding year had s-en a larger per
centage of acreage put Into it, this
year being no exception. In many
parts of the state the farmers had
turned their cotton fields into corn,
believing It would pay them better,
and would bo much easier to get Into
storage. Many of the farmers in this
new state are northern men, used to
corn culture, and not used to rais
ing cotton and this was one of the
reason why they changed the crop.
Another and perhaps more potent
cause was the lack of help to gather
cotton. Last year the loss from this
cause was large and many complaints
were made because of the Inability to
secure cotton pickers. The negro
is relied upon to furnish the bulk
of the cotton pickers and this help
has been deeply Incensed at the pas
sage or the "Jim Crow" law and
other laws prejudicial to their in
terests as they view them. It is well
known the "Jim Crow" law referred
to is the law to separate the
races in railway depots and upon
trains. As Is the case now through
out the" south, the sepnrate coaches
are provided for negroes and
whites and the Indian through the
new state is for these purposes, a
white and rides with them. Separ
ate waiting rooms at the depots are
provided for the races and the law
prescribes a penalty for both races
for using the rooms of the other.
It la tills impressing of the race dis
tinction upon the negro which makes
him give Oklahoma a wide berth
and reduced the number of laborers
In the cctton field.
In addition to the short corn crop,
all agree that cotton has been badly
Injured by the prolonged drouth and
that the crop will be a very short
one. It is true that the nrlce Is
hlj;h but it is not nearly high enough
to make up for the shortage In
bales. This has cut into the cot
ton grower and he suffers just as
the corn planter, so conditions in tho
state will be hard during the coining
winter.
Despite this the towns and cities
which deck the rich prairies are
alive with bulldine and hnslnpsa
Not a one but shows its new dwell
ings and Its new stores and not a
Resident of the cities but speaks
optimistically of the future Drouth
and short crops do not even dis
courage the boomer who is heard
abroad in the land. Among the larger
cities ablaze with light and lively
with movement during the evening
and early morning can be numbered
Vinlta, one time a capltol of an In
dian nation, Wagoner, a railroad cen
ter and a teeming business mart.
Muskogee, one of the new giants of
the Bouthwest and a railroad and
business center of no mean magni
tude, Eufaula, a prairie town brim
ful of business, McAlester, a coal
town with prolific mines surrounding
it and much railroad business as
well as a big farming community
and Atoka from which point a branch
line runs to Shawnee and Oklahoma
City, a live and bustling community.
All these towns and cities have the
prosperous and rushing air incident
to rich and populous centers of trade
and commerce and all give promise
of a fine future. One of the best
signs about these places was the
large number of passengerB constant
ly getting on and off the trains a
sure sign of ready money and pros
i;ruy. j ne long naty train was
crowded throughout the night with
an endlessly chanelnsr crowd nf
wanderers white, red and black.
One of the passengers to get on
at some place In the night was a
husky gent with large, pop eyes, and
a heavy blonde mustache. He also
was dressed in a handsome diamond
or near-diamond ring, the remainder
of his apparel being a minor bonsi

he was tho cynosure of all eyes,
whatever cynosure Is, and he plainly
realized his Importance to the com
munity. .His arrival stirred tho
nodding and weary wayfarers into
activity and the ancient dame who
had deposited so large a bundle with
little Bill, claimed pop as her own.
He took a seat across the aisle where
she had been setting in the early
part of the day and she moved over
at once and attacked him. At her
onset, pop was plainly disturbed and
fain would have fled but tho dame
had him between her and the win
dow and he didn't have nerve enough
to Jump out. So there he sat and
suffered while she unloaded upon
him a world of recollections from a
memory extending back to the time,
probably, of Cloopatra or Zeus or
somebody of her first time on earth.
nd I will own I was pleased, for
pop was getting the Just dues of he
who wears his virtues upon his
fingers and uses pomado for brains.
He had started something which he
couldn't finish as tho poet hath son
elegantly phrased It and ho got no
sympathy from yours truly. . The
queen who sat alongside mo took a
deep Interest In the situation or the
diamond, I was not sure which and
expressed much regret at the un
liiuely plight the latter was In. I
told her to keep her sent and not
worry she had me and why want
diamonds and handed her a few more
uon mots of a similar nature, until
sl.e became good and censed from
worrying over the fate of the ring.
As the train rumbled away In the
r.lght the aged spinster continued her
talo and the lord of the pop eyes
had to stand it together with her
loving glances until reason was de
throned and with a wild shriek he
sprang over Miss Sixty and was down
the aisle and out into tho night at
some way station, lenvlng the sor
