Oldham is one of the altlest men
that ever sat upon the supreme

than are credited to Nebraska.
:o:
Voters are, and of right, should
be, interested in the personality
of those who aspire to olllce, ami
they are studying the character
and qualification of every can
didate running for olllce in Cass
county. The Journal is proud of
every candidate on the ticket at
the head of this column, and we
court invest mal ion of anvone
thenon.
-:o:
James T. Reynolds continues to
make friends right, along, ami the
more the people see of him the
more they like him. No man ever
offered himself, for the ollice of
district eclerk that was more com-
pelent to perforin the duties of
the olllce than Jim Reynolds, and
as a man and good citizen there
are none better in Cass county.
A vole for James T. Reynolds
means a vote for the right man.
:o:
The Journal believes that C. M.
Sebert is unusually well fitted for
the otlice of county commission
er. He is a man of good, sound
judgment and will do what he
honestly believes would be for the
best interests of the whole people
of the county. He is Just the kind
of a man that will make good in
any place you put him.
:o :
James R. Dean will no doubt
be one of the successful can
didates for judge of the supreme
court. He is known as a good
clean man and the record he made
during the short time he served
in Ibis capacity has given him a
" Male-wide reputation as a man of
Is great legal ablity. It is pretty
hard to defeat such a man. if the
people vote for a man because of

fitted for the office of sheriff. He

not believe auvthing of the kind,
because if there is j js boiimi to

cipals in the scheme. The peo
ple will not stand for such
schemes and some voters "be
lieve the story so strongly that
they are not. slow in mentioning
names. Better cut it out right,
now before it goes any farther.
:o:
Kelly Fox, candidate for coun
ty treasurer, is making a very
clean and effective campaign ami
is geltng plenty of aid and com
fort from his legion of friends
throughout the country. His
qualifications for the ollice are so
apparent that they are hardly
ever disrussetl. The people seem
to have decided that to continue
the administration of the alTairs
of the treasurer's office in the
same splendid manner they have
been conducted the best thing to
do is to elect Mr. Fox. There will
be no mistake made in his elec
tion. :o:
"NOT A GOOD DEMOCRAT I"
The more or less esteemed
Anti-Saloon league, not content
with opposing candidates for pub
lic oltice according to their stand
i mi prophibition, intends to oppose
Judge Oldham for the supreme
bench for a new and novel reason.
Il ssill oppose Judge Oldham
iecail.se he "is not a good demo
rall" We have Ibis on the
authority of the Lincoln Journal,
which has ii on the authority' of
Secretary Carsi f tin- league.
And according to what the Journal
as Carson sas. Oldham's demo
cracy is to be
assailed on Ihree
counts that he supported Parker
in tl"ii. that he uracil the demo
cralic parly to make no nomina
tion auainsl Superintendent Crab
tree for re-election as state
superintendent jn tym, a,j ia
he "voentl maliuued . J. Itryan
at the (irand Island convention."
W. D. Oldham not a pood demo
crat I Ivvcuse us while we Iniiuli
The Anti-Saloon league, the
Ruble, philosopher and friend of
the democratic party, rot.-ctiiiK it
against itself and iiKainst its own
chosen candidates! We must be
pardoned'for indulKiuif in another
lauffh.
If W. D. Oldham isn't a good
democrat then there aren't enough
good democrats to he worth the
counting. He has been a demo
crat and a "pood" one, all his life.
No democratic convention held in
Nebraska in a quarter of a cen
tury has been complete without
him. No democratic campaign
has been a genuine light for
democratic principles without
Oldham on the stump, with his
sound, common sense, his legal
and historical learning, his keen
wit and humor, his biting sarcasm
and his abiding love of democratic
ideals, to put life ami ginger into
the fray.
He is not only a "good" demo
crat , but he is a good lawyer and a
good citizen, a good neighbor and
a grood man. His record on the
supreme court commission is one
of hard, intelligent work, of
faithful and fearless and im
partial service, as all lawyers ac
quainted with that tribunal know.
He is a man who acknow ledges no
bosses, and will no more crook the
pregnant hinges of the knee to
the Anti-Saloon league than to
any other clique or faction or
special interest,. He js an honest,
atdy, manly and lovable man, and

SILENCE THAT SPEAKS.
Rear Admiral Schley, now dead
and greatly honored, was at the
heiiihl of his verj distinguished
career dishonored as few Ameri
cans have been. Those in military
ami naval service who rfsinted
the injustice done him, like cji-
ral Miles and Admiral Dewey,
were also affronted to their faces
and in many ways made to feel
the insolence of otlice.
All of these men were lcmo
crals. It was their misfortune
that after their brilliant public
service was practically closed
the.v came to the presidency by
rccilent, a colonel of a cowboy
legiment who proceeded : ap-pr-ii)',iate
to himself and lus as-M-ciates
most of the glories of a
littl. war in which th favored
cowboys and their colonel actual
ly played an insignificant part. To
make heroes of Wood an I Ri i.se-
vi II it became necessary to d -slrov
or to belittle Schley. Miles
Pud Dewey.
iu all the history of the presi
dency there is no record of a more
shameful proceedings than that
in which Theodore Roost-velt, to
bolster tip the false glamour of
!iis own trilling performances vs n
soldier, sought with the air of his
mighty otlice to convict Schley of
!"eason and cowardice. He did
not do this in manly fashion. He
did it by insinuation and in
nuendo, coupled with characteris
tic bluster. WHeii Miles and
Dewey protested he
heaped
humiliation and insult upon them
The impudence and vanity and
s-ltlshm-ss of it all were n,.l it-
worst features. The worst of j

WHY "INCONSISTENT?"
Our friend. Maytiebl, of the
Louisville Courier, thinks the
Journal is inconsistent, because
it is opposed to keeping men in
otlice for from sixteen to twenty
ears, as the present district
clerk wants to do. He cites as a
similar case Hon. II. D. Travis,
who lias held the otlice of county
attorney, county judge and then
judge of the district court. Hut
did Judge Travis ask for a third
term in either of these positions?
The terms of county attorney and
county judge were each two years,
and the judge served two terms
in each olllce, making in all eight
years. Ihe present district clerk
lias held his position for eight
years and now wants it for an
other term oT four years. Judge
Travis never asked for a third
term, although only two-year
offices. Now, where is there any
thing similar in the cases?
The present district clerk
served three terms as county
clerk, then two years as deputy
county clerk, then was elected to
the olllce of district clerk for four
years, re-elected for the second
term of four years, and now wants
the office for the third term of
four years, and if elected making

in all twenty years he has been
nursing the public teat. Did you
ever hear of the like, Mr. Voters?
Do you know of a man who has
ever held a four-year term otlice
in Cass county who has had the
audacity to ask for a third term?
No, you have not, and many voters
are of the opinion that it is not
ripht for the present incumbent
to ask for the ofllcee longer, wnen
there are others who are just as
competent and deserving as he is.
He was opposed in the primary
by one of the best men in Cass
county and there was no excuse
for him to ask a third term, only
the fact that he wanted to con
tinue in the oftloe to serve the m-
j terests of certain parties, of which
we shall, perhaps, call the atten
tion of the votes of Cass county to
later. We reiterate that the Jour
nal has thrown aside all person
alities in this campaign and has
nothing against the present dis
trict clerk personally. We think
he has been there long enough,
