PLATTSMOUTH
Urge George
L. Sheldon for
Federal Post
Former Governor of Nebraska Men
tioned for Revenue Collector
for State of Mississippi
From Tuesday' Dally
The press dispatches from Wash
ington today announce the fact that
former Governor George L. Sheldon,
of Nebraska, is being urged by his
friends for the appointment as col
lector of internal revenue for the
(state of Mississippi, in which state
'he has made his home for the pat
'seventeen years. The suggestion as
! to the appointment of the former Ne
ibraskan comes from the members of
the Nebraska congressional delega
tion and has been presented to Pres
ident Coolidge for his consideration.
The news is very pleasing to the
many friends of Governor Sheldon
here in Cass county, where he made
his home during his years of resi
dence in this state and where his
father. Lawson Sheldon, was one of
the pioneers who helped develop the
state into its present greatness. The
Sheldon family were settlers where
the present city of Nehawka now
stands and it was there that Georpe
L. Sheldon grew to manhood and
where his brothers, Frank P. Sheldon
and Vilas P. Sheldon are still promi
nent residents.
The record of George Sheldon in
the office of governor of Nebraska
was one of the best of any in the
history of the state, it marking the
beginning of the progressive legisla
tion and management of the state
that was later carried out by the suc
ceeding governors. George L. Shel
don was elected governor in 1906 and
served until January, 1909, when he
was succeeded by A. C. Shallenberger,
who also proved one of the leaders
in the progressive movements in the
state.
Seventeen years ago the George
Sheldon family removed to Mississip
pi, where the former governor has a
large plantation in the delta country
of Mississippi near Wayside.
If the president makes the selec
tion of George Sheldon he will give
the state of Mississippi a real offi
cial and one that will - be a great
credit to the party of which the
former governor is a member and
raise the standard of the usual offi
cials appointed from the south.
