a professional office holder, nor a

educated man, an earnest student of
cientific methods as applied to these
industries, he is active in their ad

and character. Among his loyal sup
porters were a good many of the most
prominent anil successful farmers in
Nebraska, who were for him not only
because he was a republican but be
