No family in liichardson county is more admired than the Morehead family. .Mr. Morehead has helped more de srviii!r people than any other person in the county. He has always given to d serving enterprises, such as church es. Red fross. V. M. C. A. and Y. W. ('. A. He stands for the highest things in morals and last hour re ports emulated for campaign pur jiosf should tie disregarded, as they will tie by the p-oplo of Richardson county who best know him. The wonu-n voters of the First Con gressional District need have no hesi tancy in siving .Mr. Morehead their whole-hearted support, as he is too loyal a citizen to vote contrary to his positive statement and the wishes of t lie majority of the people of Ne braska. We who sign this statement are som.' of the earliest and most per sistent workers in the W. C. T. U. cause and we appeal to the women voters of the elistrbt to give no heed to the cliap ward politicians, who forsret their loyalty to their govern ing nt and adopt methods to defeat a candidate. Mr. Mor.-hcad's statement that he will he g verned by the present li quor laws of Nebraska and will vote to strensthen the Volstead law rath er than w.nken it. will be adhered to by him. If the people are not sat isfied with the present status of the liquor laws of Nebraska they can change the same by referendum vote, and that is the only method, if they make a change. lSiened MRS.

(POLITICAL ADVERTISING) (POLITICAL ADVERTISING) Qn the Democratic Ballot at the November Election You Will Find the Name of Slsa o Candidate for County Treasurer. 9 VOTE FOR HER Your Support Will Be Appreciated. The Legislative Ticket Senator Andrew F. Sturm has represented Otoe and Cass counties ably in the legislature. He is not a blusterer, a spell-binder, nor a "Big I" statesman. He is closely identified with business and agriculture in his district, has shown rare intelligence in handling legislation entrusted to his care and deserves re-election. Mr. Sturm is a firm believer in modern trans portation and the road program of Nebraska will not be crippled if he is re-elected. The Press is proud to support a man of such high caliber ability as the Nehawka legislator. It knows, too, that its opinion is voiced by the thousands of men and women in the district who believe in quiet performance of duty rather thin blustery and inane promises.

DUXBURY Plattsmouth For Register of Deeds EMIL J. HILD Plattsmouth POLITICAL ADVERTISING BELIEVES IN ECONOMY William H.sTohIman. democratic candidate for county commissioner in the second district, is making his campaign in an ernest and thought ful effort to give the taxpayers of the county the fullest value for their money expended in the conduct of the affairs of the county. One of the features of the plan of Mr.- Stohlman to give the people greater service for their expendi tures, is that of having the county do all of its culvert and bridge work wherever possible and the trials of this plan made in various localities have proven that the stand taken four years ago by Mr. Stohlman is right in every way. To show the forcefulness of the argument of Mr. Stohlman the tax pavers can look at the work in Salt Creek precinct. Here there was need for a large concrete culvert and the estimate made for its construction was $1,400 and which sum seemed too large to Commissioner Oorder and he had the work contracted for bv the countv the men being hired and material bought and paid for by the county, and the result was that the culvert cost $700 and thereby raved the county half of the expense it would have been to otherwise. This is the policy that Mr. Stohl man advocates seeing that every possible saving is made in public works and the result of which will be that a greater efficiency can be secured for the taxpayers. Mr. Stohlman has been a resident of Cass county for fifty-nine years and has been a heavy taxpayer and knows the value of saving that can be made to the taxpayers anil is making this his platform: "A full 100 cents value for every dollar ex pended." and the voters can depend that this policy will be strictly car ried out if they vote for Mr. Stohl man at the election on November 7th. and if elected Mr. Stohlman will fill the office of commissioner with honor to himself and to every taxpayer in Cass county. Violation of Liquor Law the Main Offense, With Burglary Second According to Report. The office of the attorney general of Nebraska has requested of the different counties a report as to the number of criminal cases filed in the four year period from 1919 to date and which shows from the figures compiled in the ofiice of County At torney Cole that the county has made an excellent showing as to the law abiding quality of its citizenship. In the period named were 2-Ht in formations and complaints filed and of these there wore 2:10 convictions, the tines and forfeitures amounting to $17.29.5. Of the crimes on which complaints were based the violation of the li quor law seems the most numerous there being 137 of these cases, but these seem on the decrease as they have dwindled from 74 in 1 f 1 f to Hi this year. The next crime that has any considerable showing is that of burglary, there being 1!) com plaints on this charge and on petty larceny 14, while lor assault and bat tery there wen seventeen complaints. Among other crimes for which charges wire tiled there were the following: Auto stealing, four; car rying concealed weapons, nine: speeding, six: one culprit had the hardihood to committ bigamy; three were indicted for gambling: aban donment of wife and child, five: adulttry, three: contributing to de linquency of minor, four; forgery, two; operating motor vehicles with out license, five. Prom this it can be seen that the county is not such a bad place as far as keeping the law is concerned or at least in cases that have come to the attention of the county authorities.
