Mia U. Gering
Candidate for Re-election for County
Treasurer of Cass County
IT IS doubtful if there are very many voters in
Cass county who are not more or less acquaint
ed with our present County Treasurer. She is a
lady of great ability, has taken care of the office in
a business-like manner, being accommodating to
each and every one, regardless of who it might be.
In the last few years, the County Treasurer's office
has had considerable additional new work, such as
the registration of automobiles, of which there are
over four thousand in the county, but even at that,
she has not asked for additional help, and has run
her office without neglecting any oi her duties.
Miss Gering has lived in Plattsmouth for a number
of years and during that time has filled many im
portant positions. . She has served one term and
asks the voters of the county for re-election, which
she certainly deserves.

voters. He was born 53 years ago on a farm
between Manley and Murdock and at the present
time resides there. He is a man of high standards,
good business judgment and has been Road Over
seer for six years in Center precinct, so he is not a
stranger to the office to which he is aspiring. The
voters of Cass county can conscientiously cast their
vote for Mr. Schliefert as he is conservative and at
the same time is ready, to fulfill the wants of the
people of Cass county. He is a good road enthusiast
and if elected he will do what he can to better the

having served in that capacity for five years.

where he has lived for a number of years. Fred
is practically a native of Cass county, being but two
. years old when his parents immigrated from Wis
consin to Nebraska, which was sixty years ago.
Fred is well known over the entire county, not only
as Commissioner, but in the Implement business,
as he has been for so many years, he became ac
quainted with most everyone. He is of a conserva-
1 tive type and the tax payers can rest assured that
their money is not squandered and their interests
' are fully taken care of. A vote, for Fred Gorder
is a step in the right direction.
Arnold R. Johnson
The Democratic Candidate for Sheriff
of Cass County
IN THE coming campaign, we want to present to
you a candidate for the office of Sheriff who
might come to some of you as a stranger. Mr.
Johnson is well known in Plattsmouth and more so
in the eastern part of the county and we hope before
this campaign is over that you will get acquainted
with him and find his good qualities. He is at
present serving as Chief of Police for the city of
Plattsmouth. He has also been employed by the
Burlington shops here and has been a farmer and
held other different positions in town. He is a
member of the I. O. O. F. and Eagles lodge and
a member of the Young Men's Bible class of the
Methodist church of this city. Mr. Johnson is the
right age (being thirty-two years old) to make a
good sheriff. He weighs 199 pounds and is 5 feet,
10 inches tall. He asks the people of Cass county
to elect him to this office. He is a man of moderate
means and we are satisfied he will make a splendid
officer. A vote for him will be in the right direction.
Capt. Harrison L. Gayer
Candidate for Office of
County Clerk
MR. GAYER is a man of high quality and well
educated. He has lived in Cass county for
eight years and is at present farming in Rock Bluffs
precinct. He received his education at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, being a student in the law school
of the university at the outbreak of the World war
in 19 1 7. He went overseas with the 28th Infantry,
First American Division, as Captain of the Infantry.
He is a member of the Plattsmouth post, American
Legion, and also a member of the Disabled Veterans'
Association. When he returned he was not physical
ly fit to complete his law studies and was advised by
his physician to move onto a farm, which he did.
Capt. Gayer is fully qualified to hold the position
of County Clerk and is certainly worthy of recog
nition from the voters of Cass county for his brav
ery during the World war. Don't forget to vote
for Capt. Gayer for County Clerk on the 2nd day
of November, for he deserves it.
