Loup City Northwestern A LIVE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN A LIVE TOWN VOLUME XXXV. LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1916 NUMBER 39 WASHINGTON LETTER Washington. Sept. 4.—The republi can publicity association, through its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., today gave out the following statement at its Washington head quarters: “If the country votes at the presi dential election this year as it voted at the congressional election' of 1914. Hughes will carry California, Colora do, Connecticut. Delaware, Idaho, Il linois, Iowa. Massachusetts. Michi gan, Minnesota, Nevada. New Hamp f~vire. New Jersey. New Mexico, New ork. North Dakota. Oregon. Pen nsylvania, Rhode Island. South Dako ta, Utah. Vermont. Washington. West Virginia. Wisconsin and Wyoming. “These states have 286 votes in the electoral college, a majority of which is only 266. "In each of these states, two years ago. the republican congressional ticket received a "clear plurality of votes. In these states combined the republican candidates for congress received 4,075,157 votes, while the democratic candidates for congress received .only 3,132,568 votes—the total republican plurality being 942. 5S9. “In each of these states, in 1914. there was an organized progressive campaign, except in Nevada, North Dakota. Utah and Wisconsin, although in Utah there was a Fusion ticket running in opposition to the republi cans. The total progressive vote in these states was 746.341; and the combined republican-progressive plu rality over the democrats was 1.68S. 930. I on the basis of seventy and thirty per cent, respectively, to the republicans and the democrats, the vote of Indi ana this year should be; Republican. 296,162; democratic, 302,904. The margin is too small for comfort on either side; and Indiana must remain as fighting territory until the votes are counted. The progressives aided, it is said, by democratic funds, are maintaining an organization in that state; but competent observers be lieve that from 85 to 90 per cent of the Moose will vote for Hughes and that the number who will support ; Wilson are negligible. Upon this ' basis, Indiana should go for Hughes and Fairbanks by nearly 30.000. “The seventy-thirty division ap plied to Kansas would give that state i to the republicans by the following figures: republican, 240,215; demo j cratic, 218.162. “In Maine the result would be: re publican. 72,888; democratic, 66.071. “In Nebraska the figures should show; republican, 113,376; demo cratic, 113,820. This is another hair line of demaracation—but there is no Bull Moose ticket in Nebraska this year; and while the contest will be a hard one. the indications are that Hughes will carry the state. “The same division of the progres sive vote in Ohio would produce figures for 1916 in this wise; republi ; can. 511.03S; democratic. 498,653. “It is. therefore, a fair assumption that, in addition to retaining the ; states which disclosed a clear repub I lican plurality in 1914. and which as j sure a majority of the electoral col : lege, the republican ticket will this year gain Kansas, Maine and Ohio without question and secure foi Hughes and Fairbanks a total of 326 i out of the 531 votes in the electoral j college, with more than a fighting ‘ chance to add the 23 votes of Indiana ' and Nebraska to that number, mak ing 349. or a majority of 167. “Hughes will not be a minority president. "The figures upon which the fore ; going is based are taken from the “World Almanac.” and in detail they are as follows: “Two years ago there were five states—Indiana. Kansas. Maine, Ne braska, and Ohio, which are fairly to he classed as normally republican but where the democratic congres sional ticket received a plurality of votes ranging from a beggarly 365 in Maine to an impressive 42,762 in In diana. But the progressive vote in each of these five states was far in excess of the difference between the republican and democratic totals, and ranged from 3,111 in Nebraska to 90, 040 in Indiana. In Kansas the pro gressive vote in 1914 amounted to 74.441; in Ohio it was 47.981; and in Maine it was 17.985. “These five states will cast 63 votes in the electoral college. How will they vote this year? “Hopeful democratic statisticians estimate the division of the former progressive vote upon different pro portions, in each instance, however, giving the long end of it to the re publicans and in no instance claiming that more than 30 per cent of the Bull Moose will support Wilson. I'pon this extreme hypothesis, let us examine the vote of the five states where a democratic plurality was found in the congressional elections of 1914. “The republican vote of Indiana in 1914 was 233.140, the progressives t asting 90,040 and the democrats 275, 892.

Judge Hostetler de clared a recess for the afternoon ar.d the majority of the legal lights took advantage of the lull in the legal grind to attend the festivities. The Loup City ball team met de feat at the hands of the Arcadia tossers by the score of 8 to 1. The game started off in nice shape and the early returns indicated that the score would be a close one, but a succession of errors let the Arcadia men romp home with the long end of the tally. On Wednesday. Arcadia took on Ansley for a nine-round bout and was trounced by the score of 3 to 1. A balloon ascension was also a feature of the entertainment, the flight on Tuesday being a perfect one the performer alighting only one block from the starting point. SOMETHING WRONG. There is certainly comething wrong somewhere in this burg when a bevy of exceptionally fine young ladies are compelled to charter a jitney at their own expense to go to another town to take in the festivities there. It looks as though the single men are either too bashful or too much on the tightwad order. We think this matter should be adjusted and are in favor of the appointment of a committee to inquire into the cause of such a condition and see if it cannot be reme died. We would also respectfull> recommend that County Judge Emer son Smith act as chairman of the committee. NEW ENGINES ARRIVE. The new engines for the electric light plant arrived yesterday and art being moved today by the Big Four The larger engine weighs thirteen tons and is rated at 80 horse power. The smaller engine is 50 horse power. A man from the engine works is expected here to erect the same and get them running and then it is expected that the power and light question will be solved for some time to come, as far as Loup City is con cerned. MARRIED AT GRAND ISLAND. Chris Peterson of Loup City, and Miss Elizabeth Spore of Archer, Neb., were married at Grand Island Thurs day. September 7. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson came to Loup City, where they will make their future home. They have the congratulations of a large number of friends here. LITTLE GIRL ARRIVES. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Nick Lade gaard, Sunday. September 10, a girl babv. tii Henry Lee came over Monday from Broken Bow to help his brother, A. O. Lee, in the pop factory during the fair. The business men of Arcadia are to be congratulated and praised for the show they staged for the three days. Everything was conducted on Main street and the merchants and street men all seemed to be enjoying a thriving business. It is probable that the Arcadia people will enter tain the surrounding territory in the same manner again next year and if they do they may rest assured that Loup City will give her hearty sud port to the festivities. TWO BIG MOVING JOBS. The Big Four have a couple of heavy jobs this week, the first being the moving of two big safe cabinets to the second floor of the First Na tional Bank building, where Clerk of the District Court Bass is located. The second stunt is the moving of the new engines for the Loup City Power & Light company. The Big Four are proving themselves to be experts in this line, both operations being completed with neatness and dispatch. Mrs. Claus Eggars accompanied her little daughter to Omaha, where she will enter the deaf and dumb school. Concert Orchestra playing the special orchestration written for this photo spectacle.

B. YOUNG. CARNIVAL A BIG SUCCESS Arcadia Entertans Her Visitors In Royal Manner. Loup City has been considerably depopulated the last couple of days, while the population of Arcadia has been considerably swelled by reason of our shortage, a large number from here being in attendance at the street fair and carnival there, which closes today. The Loup City concert band is in attendance in full force under the direction of Professor R. N. Prichard. A large number of concessions are on the streets also and there is an exhibition of farm products and hand made exhibits that would be a credit to any county fair in tne country. It was all got up in a short space of time and we think that the exhibition is one of the best that we have ever seen. Prizes were given for exhibi tors in thes lines and also prizes for live stock. Monday was to have been the open ing day, but the steady rain that fell on that day made it necessary to advance the program one day and hold the carnival an additional day. Monday evening John L. Kennedy, republican candidate for senator from the Sixth congressional district, and Hon. Moses P. Kinkaid, spoke to a large crowd at the opera house. Tuesday was Loup City day and the turnout from here, while not as large as it might have been, was very {district court meets i ; _ I |!

READY FOR THE FAIR Indications Favorable For Biggest and Best Fair Yet Held. Next Wednesday is the first day of the Sherman County fair and Secre tary Tracy announces that everything will be in readiness for the exhibitors and the public promptly at that time. The first day will be entrance day and there will be no admission fee charged for that day. Exhibitors are also requested to be on hand in plenty of time as there will be no entries allowed after Wednesday evening. It is expected that there will be a much larger number of entries in all classes than in previous years and all are urged to compete and make the vari ous exhibits as complete as possible. A merry-go-round will be in attend ance to add to the pleasure of the young, and a few of the older ones, too. The Whang Doodle Comedy Four. |a colored company that some of the Loup City people saw at the state fair, will be here and mose who have seen their performances say that they are exceptionally good. Another attraction is Georgie Abbot, a youth of some phenomenal power. He weighs 10S pounds and defies anyone to lift him from the floor, offering $25 to anyone who can perform that feat. A ball game between Ashton and Arcadia will be a feature of the sec ond day and will be well attended bv the supporters of the two teams. Keith Neville, democratic candidate for governor, will be here en the same day and tell the crowd what he stands for and why he thinks he should have the job as governor of this commonwealth. On the third and last day there will be a ball game between Loup City and Rockville. These teams have not met this season and they will un doubtedly go their best to win the battle. Secretary Tracy was much disappointed Wednesday when he re ceived word from Judge Abraham L. Sutton, the republican candidate for governor, seating that through »».»e conflict in his dates he would not be able to be present, and that Ross Hammond, of Fremont would speak in his place. It will be a disappoint ment to many, but we are sure that Mr. Hammond will have something to say that will interest all who hear him. It is the duty of all Sherman coun ty people to attend this rair and make it the best one yet held.
