LEININGER LUMBER COMPANY J THE NORTHWESTERN ___. ■ _ Entered at the Loup City Postofflce for transmission through the mails as second clans matter. Office Phone. Red 138. Residence, - Black 138 J. W. BURLEIGH.Editor and Pub. J. R. GARDINER Manager -. - ■ ■ ■■ ■ --- So far in the campaign the edi tor of this paper has had little to say regarding his candidacy for representative from this 57th dis trict. Since the primary he has been busy looking after the inter ests of the paper, which has been increasing its circulation and en larging its business steadily, and has had no time to campaign. Xor does he think it essential, as the voters of the entire county are either personally acquainted with him or know him through the columns of the paper. For the past over 30 years he' has been editing newspapers and helping in building up the communities in which he has been working. As a republican all these years he has politically and to the best of his ability upheld the principles of republicanism, never asking nor accepting any political preferment at the hands of the party. Now that he has asked for and received the nomination for representative, and without any opposition at the primary, he further asks the vot ers of that party to return with full measure his efforts by giving him a united support for which he asks their suffrage. Further, he has always treated those who dif fered with him politically in a courteous manner, granting them the same rights he has asked for himself, and would respectfully ask not only, the votes of the party to which he belongs but the votes of all those who feel that the editor can and will represent Sherman county in the coming legislature for their best interests. If elected, he promises to con scientiously and honestly repre sent the people, without regard to special interests, but for the in terests of the people as a whole. You will make no mistake in voting for W. T. Gibson for coun ty clerk. Hw8 an honest, con scientious, upright citizen and if elected to the important office to which he aspires wiH prove a faithful and efficient officer. R. P. Starr has beenlmsy down in Buffalo and Kearney counties the past two or more weeks look ing after his candidacy for senu torship from this 22nd senatorial district and finds the most en couraging situation in those coun ties favoring his aims. From all sides he is assured that the state will go republicari by a handsome majority and that result will at tend his candidacy for senator with a goodly majority in both houses. That R. *P. Starr will be elected by a safe majority seems to be the outlook. Whatever office is to be filled,corn mon sense dictates that it should be filled for the very best interests of the people as a whole. ,J.S. Pedler as county Attorney has sav ed the county many hundreds of dollars to the taxpayers by settling matters out of court and the per fect satisfaction of justice. An other two years for Uncle Joe in that office means a continuance of existing conditions under his guidance. From a business stand point this is to the interest of the taxpayers. While M. P. Kinkaid is busy in Washington attending to his duties as Congressman from the Big Sixth, Frank Taylor is busy advancing his arguments as to why he should fill the shoes of our Moses. But then, Frankie, the republican Moses will receive so many crosses in the square op posite his name that our St. Paul friend will scarcely know he has been in the race. He should have tackled something easier. -- The political situation is begin ning to warm up in Sherman county as well as in the other parts of the state. Of course the primary law to a large extent kiljs off party affiliations, but there is enough left of the old party fervor to make the situation interesting. Only one more issue of the Northwestern before election, which occurs Tuesday, Nov. 3. Bear the date in mind and lei; every* voter be out and vote his sentiments. FOR CONGRESS FRANK J. TAYLOR ST.
