Virtue is in a manner con-

WHAT THEY THINK
- OF MR. WUNDER
LICH AT HOME
-:o:-
The girl who marries to get a home
seldom gets one of the "Home, Sweet
Home" kind.
Any man who itches for fame will
have to do a lot of scratching before
he gets there.
An army mule is better than an
automobile if his chaffcur kifbws how
to crank him up.
-:o:-
i Wilson has stood up for the peo
ple, while Hughes stands for Wall
street anil the money power.
-:o:
Within the heel of recently patented
.hoes for women is contained a com
plete vanity case. Where next will
women carry their powder?
Probably there is nothing so mean
ingless as the kis one woman bestows
upon another unless it is the large,
expressive smile of a hotel clerk. '
:o:
Speak up. Mr. Sutton! How about
the little matter of being chief of a
fraternal order that maintained a bar
for the dispensing of liquors, with
you knowledge and seeming consent?
-:o:-
II. L. Metcalfe is a stem-winder on
the stump and is doing a great work
for the democratic ticket in Nebraska,
and ha also been helping the demo
crats down in Missouri.
-:o:-
The democrats and lots of repub
licans are talking loud and long for
Keith Neville for governor, but you
hear very few that have the courage
to get out and talk for Sutton.
The Nehawka News has taken no
active part in the coming election,
either editorially or personally. There
are two reasons why we have not
neither of which would interest our
readers. But we feel that we cannot
let the election go by without having
said something concerning the can
didacy of John Wunderlich, who is
making the race on the democratic
ticket for sheriff in this county.
John G. Wunderlich was born in
Germany. At the age of fifteen he
landed in America, coming forthwith
to Cass County, locating in Nehawka
township. He has lived in this town
ship ever since, at first working as
a farm hand. Later on he was mar
ried to a noble and patient woman
who with him fought life's battles
ami raised a fine family of boys and
girls, all of whom are residents of
this county also, and highly respected.
It may truthfully be said of Mr.
Wunderlich that he is a good farmer,
keen of foresight in all affairs of his
neighborhood, county and state. That
he and his family are beloved by his
nigh bo rs and friends no one will deny.
He is as true a citizen as ever breathed
the air of Cass County. In the capa
city of an oiTicer of the law like that
of sheriff, he could certainly be de
pended upon to do his duty, and his
best efforts would be put forth to pro
tect the interests of the county and
state. There is not a single reason
why he should not be as capable, could
not or would not u'lve as good service-
in the office to which he aspires as any
man in the county. ,
Mr. Wunderlich made the race two
years ago for the same ollice and
was defeated.' But the large vole he
received that year, both in his own
township and throughout tk coanty.
has always befcn a source of pi He and
great satisfaction to him. He often
speaks of the loyal support in his home
township and how thankful he feels
to his fricr.ds in both parties who gave
him their undivided support. In mak
ing the race again this year wet will
voiu-h for hini that .he will greatly
appreciate your support, and if elected
will do everything in his power to
merit the tryst placed in him. Ne

Jiper rain coats are now bein.v
made. Wonder if the paper trust will
say that the manufacture of paper
coats has something to do with the
high cost of news print paper?
:o:-
As cold weather approaches the
matrimonial market will probably
look up somewhat, and by Thanksgiv-
ing there will no doubt be several
weddings announced. It's in the air.
The betting is greatly in favor of
Wilson all over the country. The re
publicans are publishing all manner of
false reports to try to save New York
Many republicans in the east do not
"think they can even do that. The
democrats in New York are claiming
the state by 100,000.
:o:
There i;; no cause to vote against a
.single man on the democratic ticket
They arc all good men, and you know
this as well as we do. You know that
they are good, honorable, well Quali
fied people, and rot a single charge
can be brought against the ticket as
a whole. It is a clean-cut ticket in
every way.

by what it costs.

not even good judgment.

Some men are not satisfied to court
trouble they jump right into it.

than it is to keep a good one.

Rome, Nov. .r. Austrian casualties
in General Cadona's new drive on
Trieste now number 25,000 said unof
ficial dispatches from the Carso front
tonight. Of this number 19,000 are
prisoners.
Tlie correspondent of the Messa
gero, the front, telegraphed today that
several Austrian battalions have been
almost wiped out. Others have lost
70 per cent of their effectiveness and
a large number of guns.
In no offensive since the Austro
Italian war have Cadorna's men cap
tured so many machine guns. The
Austrian general staff apparently
shifted a large number of men from
the Isonzo front, counting upon a ma
chine gun defense to check Italian at
tacks. In several instances the Ital
ian victors turned captured machine
guns on the fleeing enemy, inflicting
severe slaughter.
The attack now centers' on Dosso
futziti and Hill 239, commanding the
Comen-Aedussina road. Long range
artillery is constantly bombarding the
Comen and Dornberg railway stations,
where the Austrians are hastily
dumping reinforcements.
The Italian newspapers are display
ing bulletins of the new Isonzo vic
tories with the greatest elation. They
assert that General Cadorna's advance
has forced the Austrians to shift
troops from the Transylvanian front
anil has lifted the pressure on Rumania.
