Several candidate-dor the legisla
ture have sent in statement No 1
since tbe ballot lias been made up,
bat in each instance the secretary oi
state has informed tliern it was too
late to get it on the primary ballot.
Ord change! from wet. to dry this
year by a majority of 52. Kaverina
want wet by about half the usual
majority. Kearney, about which
city there was so much strife last
year, going wet by a very few votes,
went wet again this year by a larger
vote. Arcadia went dry again. Sar
gent went dry by a vote of 102 to 61.
Hilly Sunday, the revivalist, closed
a series of meetings at Wheeling,
West Virginia, the last of March,
which was a record breaker in his
line. He was credited with 8,43"
converts and was given a purse of
117.000. Besides the big purse, Sun
day was given many valuable presents
while his party also got generous
purses and many presents. Draw
your own conclusions. Ours would
not suit some people, if put in print.
Bv the way. Judge E. B. Perry of
Cambridge, brother of our R. H.
Perry of the Keystone Company, is a
candidate for delegate at large to the
Republican National convention.
Say. you republicans who know our
young friend of the Keystone, let us
all give .1 udge Perry a vote at the
primary, as a compliment to our own
Perry, for he must necessarily be a
good one.
The Times has been very much ex
cercised because the Northwestern
has not heretofore seen fit to take a
stand in favor of any one of the re
publican candidates for president. We
had no idea our brother’s lament was
s* earnest or that it made much diff
erence in the result, whether the
Northwestern was for Taft, La Fol
lette or Roosevelt, but as he feels the
presidential vote depends on the
stand this paper takes, we are will
ing to admit that we are for Taft
with a big “T.” Now that we have
admitted our preference, will Bro.
Beushausen pi ease state its preferen
tial candidate for president and then
an anxious people will have had
knowledge of w here these two great
presidential makers line-up. Is the
Times in favor of Harmon, Wilson
Clark or the great and untamable
William Jennings. An anxious pub
lic awaits with breathless interest
for the answer, to know just how
to cast its vote. After Bro.
Beushausen has told us who
was the proper man to have!
in the presidential chair, will
it also state who it wants for gover
nor? Is it for Moorhead or Metcalfe?
The Northwestern is willing to ad
mit it is for Gov. Aldrich, without
stutter or stammer. And while we are
on the political subject, will the
Times editor tell the interested pub
lie its choice forU. S. senator? Is it for
Little Giant Thompson, Willis Reed
Ex-Govrnor Shallenburger or Robert
Smith. The Northwestern prefers
Norris. And as both our candidates
have the same prefix and affix, we
make it plain that we prefer the
Norris prefix to the Norris affix, or in
other words favor Norris Brown to
Geo. W. Norris. Now. if Bro. Beus
hausen will be as frank as the writer
in making public the right men for
the above places of trust, the voters
will feel easy and the result in no
further doubt—as to where we stand.
Bryan is a believer in Statement
No. 1, if the voters of Nebraska say
Wilson or Champ Clark are winners
at the state primaries as expressed
by the few who get out to vote in
that rotten affair, but if they choose
Harmon, then he is not in favor of
said statement by his actions, and
will refuse to go as a delegate, but
will go as a private citizen and fight
the nomination of the Ohio man.
Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel:
but evidently the thrice defeated
candidate for the presidency doesn't
wear it.
A delegation of Republicans called
at the Northwestern office Tuesday
of this week and asked us to urge the
republican voters of Elm, Webster
and Clay townships, comprising Su
pervisor District No. 3, to write in
the name of W. O. Brown as their
candidate for supervisor. He did not
tile this year, but if the republicans
as a whole or majority wish him to
get into the race we are sure he wil
respect their wishes. But if only a
few write in his name he will take it
for granted they do not want him
and he would be justified in refuse
ing to run, which would mean a dem
ocratic supervisor from that district.
The Northwestern trusts every re
publican voter in those three town
ships will write in the name of W.
O. Brown.
The special attention of voters is
called to the f)lank lines following
names of candidate for the various
offices. These are for the purpose of
allowing voters to write in any name
they see fit, if they prefer, rather
than vote for some printed name.
Last year the judges and clerks of
election in Bristol and Hazard town
ships refused to count the name of
Sheriff Williams written in on the
democratic and populist ballots at the
primary, under the mistaken idea
that it was against the law. Had
they done so, as should have been
done, and was done in other town
ships, he would have received those
nominations as well as the republi
can nomination. That's what the
blank lines are placed on the ballots
for. Don't make that mistake this
year. A recount would change their
ruling.
W. J. Bryan, we believe, claims to
be father to the First Statement idea
in politics nowadays, which takes
away from the party candidates their
political preferences and ralagates
that to the voters at the polls, so that
whatever political preference the
elected senator or representative
may have, he goes to the legislature
as a machine to vote for the man for
any office whom the voters say is the
fellow who should get the prize. But
what is the matter with “Father?”
He will not take his own medicine.
Bryan wants to go to the democratic
national convention, but is not will
ing to vote for Harmon, even if the
voters say he is tne man. Statement
No. 1, means to Mr. Bryan that if
things go my way I will stand for it
but if the voters say otherwise then
they are wrong and I wont stand for it.
Will the Times please enlighten us
as to whether it feels the same way.
Our brother editor is a great advo
cate of the idea. But also being a
follower of and strict believer in
Bryanistic utterances, how will lie
reconcile the Bryan idea of riding,
two horses going in oppsite directions?
One of the candidates for county
attorney at the hands of the republi
can voters at the coming primaries
in this county is Herbert S.
Nightingale, son of K. J. Nightingale
a lawyer who has practiced law in
this county for the past thirty years.
Herbert was born and grown up to
manhood in this county, and is there
fore a genuine Sherman county pro
duct. He got his education in our
t public schools for the first ten years
of his young life and then went to
Kearney, and from there to the State
University, where he spent five years,
three of which were devoted exclu
sively to the study of law. He made
a record at the University as a
student of law, of which our people
may Justly be proud, and passed his
examination with honors. Afterward
he was admitted to practice in the
supreme court, and last June came
home to join his father in the prac
tice of law, having previously familiar
ized himself with the practice dur
ing his vacation. He is a bright
young man, full of energy and am
bition, and if nominated and elected
will devote his chief attention to

matters connected with the office, he
will get the benefit of and take counsel j

experience. He owns a half interest

Editor Northwestern: I started
in business as a blacksmith in Loup
City 32 years ago and have resided
here all the time since, and people
should know me: those who don’t
may inquire of my friends and neigh
bors who do. My life has been an
open book and full of mistakes, but I
have never made the mistake of slan
dering my neighbor under the ficti-!
tious name of “Voter” or “Interest
ed Reader.” There is some little truth
in part of the “misnomer, in that I
served in the otlices referred to part
of the time alleged and plead guilty
to having b en poor and acknowledge
a partial recovery, but was unaware
that it constituted a rich man or was
a criminal offense. I was not an in
truder in the judge's office, as shown
by the Supervisor's Record 5, pages
611 and 617. I was not county attor
ney at the time of the Elm township
chicken thief episode. Sheriff Wil
liams was my opponent twenty-tive
years ago, and we have been friends
e»er since, and while l appreciate
your offer of space in your valuable
paper to engage in a newspaper con
troversy, 1 must decline, as I have
neither time, money nor a disposition
to slanderously advertise my oppo
nent. and 1 have long since learned
the futility and empty delusion of
such political tactics, and prefer to
admit that my opponent is a bright
j young University graduate, while I
I am lacking in training and classical
culture, and can only give a practical
common sense business administra
tion by way of saving litigation and
expense to the taxpayers, and do not
want to wound a mother's heart by
such abuse. I am willing that you
give your spal*e to Mr. “Voter” and
“Interested Reader,’’(Mr. R. J Night
ingale). who has the price and wants
to indulge. I am convinced that the
interests of the county will be best
subserved by humbly submitting to
the answer the people may make to
Mr. “Voter” (R. J. Nightingale) and
Mr.“Interested Reader” (R. J. Night
ingale) at the primaries on the 19th.
Respectfully yours,
J. S. Pbdler.

Editor Northwesters: In justice
to the Board of Supervisors; in jus
tice to Judge Smith. Judge Pedler
and myself, and in order that the peo
ple who may have had official busi
ness with Judge Pedler during Judge
Smith's absence may know that Judge
Pedler was not an intruder in the of
fice, and of my authority to make the
appointment of Judge Pedler, will
you be so kind as to publish the ac
tion of the board in the matter, and
oblige yours for gentlemanly politics?
J. H. Welty,
Chairman of Board.
[Book 5, Page 611, Supervisors’ Pro:
ceedings: “Motion made and carried
that in case the County Judge is dis
qualified from acting in any cause be
fore him, or is temporarily absent
from the county, the chairman of the
county board is hereby authorized to
appoint and approve bond of a judge
to act during his absence or disquali
fications.”]
To all the voters of this county, and
especially to republican voters:
I feel it my duty to warn my fellow
citizens not to cast their vote for J.
S. Pedler as county attorney at the
coming primary election, and if you
have the least thought of doing so,
I wish you would first bear from my
lips the true story how Pedler, by de
ception and fraud, got every dollar of
my property away from me, when I
was not in my right mind, and drove
die to the asylum for the insane, and
afterwards succeeded in separating
me from my wife and dear little
children, and from my home, and
turned me out in my old age, a poor
cripple, without the ability to earn
my living, to die of a broken heart,
in loneliness and poverty. This man,
Pedler, has grown rich and powerful,
and has become the president of a
bank, through years of wrong doing,
but the day of hisdownfall will surely
come, if there is a righteous God in
heaven, as I believe there is.
