be heard naming S. R. McKelvie o
Lincoln, former governor of No-
Lraska. as the possible cbeice c.f
President Caolidge for secretary of j
agriculture in place of Henry C.
Wallace, deceased. Mr. McKelvie
was mentioned for that post several
years ago. before the late President
Harding made up his cabinet. He
is now making speeches for the re
publican national ticket in several
of the far western stales.
The appointment would only run
to next March if President Co 1

otherwise whoever is named now

closely than the one v.-hich v. ill determine the nezt congressman,
from the First district.
Ex-Governor John II. Kcrehead, serving his first term at
Washineton. is a candidate for re-election. Opposed to him is E.
refor the H. Thorpe who served tor three months to 11 the vacancy caused
ained con- 't by the resignation of C. F. Eeais. The candidates thus presented
are both tried campaigners; both have an extensive acquaintance
with the people who comprise the intelligent citizenship cf the
district Congressman Jloiehead. because ha has been a bona fide
resident of the district for iorty years, and Thorpe, because he had
canvassed the district as a stock salesman and also as a candidate
for congress.
John H. Morehead as a young man came to Nemaha county
in 1SS3. Ee worked as a iann hand in the summer and taught
school in the winter time. Successively he became a country mer
chant, farmer, stockman and country banker. During tins time
he served as township treasurer, county treasurer of Eichardson
county, state senator and governor for two terms. In 1918 he was
an unsuccessful candidate for the United States senate. In 1S20
he was again a candidate for governor, and in the unprecedented
Earding landslide ran almost one hundred thousand votes ahead of
his party candidate for president. In 1922 he was elected to con
gress by 0,000 majority. The outstanding feature of this last
contest "was that the people cf his home county gave him a major
ity of 1.600 votes and Kemaha county, v.hieh firit received hixi as
a "Nebraska citizen, gave him a 600-vote majority over the able
and well-known opposing candidate. Surely Ids record of citizen
ship and the public service which he has rendered to the people of
his county, district and state will appeal to them in the contest
at hand.

During all these years John H. Morehead has been intimately
associated vrith the people of this district and especially with its
principal industry agriculture. Consequently no nan in the state
is better qualified to represent an agricultural district in the na
tional congress. His opponent on the other hand has had only a
brief residence in the district, beginning a short time before he was
a candidate for the short term two years ago. His only connection
-vrith agriculture apparently has been to "farm" the farmers. More
head, while thoroughly progressive, is regarded by all as a caieful,
thoughtful end conscientious nun, who has made a success of his
own business, and such a record for sound, sensible and economical
administration of the state's business while governor that he was
re-elected by an overwhelming majority. As governor he also had
the rare faculty of selecting strong men for appointive positions as
evidenced by the character and ability of the men he placed at the
head of our state institutions. A large majority of his appointees
have been retained by succeeding governors, regardless cf political
affiliations, and his administration as chief executive has been uni
versally commended by the citizens of the state.
Without any intention to be unfair or odious in comparison,
the opposing candidate, Thorpe, is of the combustible, hothouse
type of politician, whose only claim to fame as stated publicly by
himself two years ago is that he had been a tramp political orator.
The Tirst congressional district of Nebraska is an important
political subdivision. It has important interests at Washington to
be served and protected, chief among which is its agricultural
wealth and prosperity.
The contest in the Tirst district is therefore cf more than
passing interest and importance. Surely the thinking electors of
this agricultural district in view cf the facts of the caie, cannot
afford to retire Congressman TIoreixeEd who has been a true and
tested public servant and whose citizenship and direct interest in
the district and its welfare is attested by a record which is an
open book. This district, since the state was admitted, has been
almost without ezcepiicn represented in congress by men of recog
nized ability and fitness, and who were by long residence and busi
ness committments intimately associated with the growth and
progress cf the state. Such were Thomas J. Majors, A. J. Weaver,
John A. McShane and W. J. Bryan when Omaha vas a part of the
First district, and later J. B. Strode, E. J. Burkett, afterward
United States senator, E. 1L Pollard, John A. McGuire and C. F.
Eeavis.
Congressman Morehead is no exception in character, ability
and citizenship to his distinguished predecessors. Ee has brought
to his great office the ripe experience cf the successful farmer,
stockman, country merchant and country banker, as well as the
distinction and valuable experience cf the governorship of a great
state. The electors of the First district will honor themselves and
serve their best interests by returning ex-Governor John H. More
head to congress.
