THE COUNTY CANDIDATES.
As next Tuesday, November 7th is
election day. The Northwestern is
taking advantage of the last chance
to say a few words in favor of the re
publican county, candidates. All the
men mentioned in connection with this
article are good and progressive citi
zens and you cannot go wrong by vot
ing for any and all of them. It Is with
pleasure that we present the follow
ing brief sketches of the several can
didates.
L. B. POLSKI.
Mr. Polski is candidate for re-elec
tion to the office of county clerk. Mr.
Polski was appointed county clerk on
the 28th day of April, 1913, to fill out
the unexpired term of W. C. Dieterich,
deceased. Previously he had held the
office of assistant cashier at the First
National Bank for a little over a year.
J. H. WELTY
Republican Candidate for County As
sessor, Sherman County.
He was elected to the office of county
clerk two years ago and is a candidate
for a second term this fall. Mr. PolsKi
has no opposition and will of course
be re-elected. While it is unnecessary
to say much in his behalf, because he
has the fl^ld all to himself, we will
add that he has been a careful and ac
comodating official and the people of
the county are entirely satisfied with
his administration.
D. C. GROW.
D. C. Grow, republican candidate for
county treasurer, is an old timer in
Sherman county, coming here in 187G
and settling on a farm near Loup City.
Mr. Grow is a native of Illinois, was
born at Batavia, but resided at Chica
go most of his life before coming to
Sherman county.
Mr. Grow was county supervisor for
six years, a member of the school
board for nine years and postmaster,
of Loup City for four years. He was
theft rst councilman elected in Loup
City. Mr. Grow is the man to elect
for county treasurer of Sherman coun
ty and is qualified in every respect to
attend to the duties of the office to
the entire satisfaction of the taxpay
ers. His long residence here has
made him many warm friends. We
expect that Mr. Grow will poll a large
vote all over the county.
L. A. WILLIAMS.
L. A. Williams, sheriff of Sher
man county and candidate for re-elec
tion is well known by practically every
voter in the county. Mr. Williams is
a native of Illinois and came to Sher
man county in June, 1885, being a
resident of this county for more than
thirty-one years. Mr. Williams first
settled at Loup City and later farmed
near Ashton for several years. In con
nection with this article we might
state that Mr. Williams is a veteran
of the civil war, enlisting at the start
of the war in the 7th Wis. infantry as
a private. When his enlistment was
up he re-enlisted in the 43rd Wis in
fantry and was soon promoted to sec
ond lieutenant, serving from 1861-5
in the two enlistments. He has made
the county a splendid sheriff and asks
for re-election on his past record.
L. H. CURRIER.
The man who has made good and is
asking for re-election relying on his
record which invites your closest in
vestigation. He is an able educator
and has given his county a good “busi
ness administration” in its public
school affairs. He ranks high among
the school men of the state. He is
an able, faithful and discreet official
and has raised the schools of Sherman
county to rank among the first in the
state. Mr. Currier entered on the du
ties of his office at a time when the
conditions of the school affairs of
Sherman county were bad. Law and
accuracy had not been vigilently ob
served and free and easy methods
had prevailed.
Mr. Currier has labored for and
maintained a practical adherence to
school laws in all cases and care and
accuracy in the administration of
school affairs. His acts and doings
are the best test of his fitness for re
election. His diligence in office shows
his appreciation for past election, and
he now appeals to the voters of Sher
man county for their votes for re
election as a further expression of
their confidence in him.
The following was written in regard
to Mr. Currier by one of the foremost
educators of the county:
“####To bring about the conditions
seen at the institute there must be a
leader, and the county superintend
ent of Sherman county has proved
himself equal to such a work. He was
educated In the high schools of Iowa,
South Dakota Wesleyan, and i» nor
mal schools in South Dakota and Ne
braska, earning the degree of Baclny
lor of Science. He taught in county
schools and served several years as
principal and as superintendent of
city schools. His large experience in
! school work leads him to know the
problems that confront the teachers,
and to help them in organization, me
thods, and management. His leader
ship since coming into the office has
made itself felt, and teachers look to
him for help in the experiences that
arise in school life. We are fortun
ate in having at the head of the
schools of Sherman county a man of
such training and ability.”
FOR SUPERVISORS.
H. N. Fisher, republican candidate
for supervisor from District Number
2 is a young farmer, who is making
good and it is expected that he will
poll a large vote.
W. T. Gibson, republican candidate
for supervisor from District Number
4, Loup City township, is an old resi
dent in Loup City and has the confi
dence and respect of all who know
him, and that includes nearly every
body in the township. Mr. Gibson
would make a capable official, and,
is waging a quiet campaign.
ALONZO DADDOW.
Mr. Daddow is candidate for repre
sentative from the 57th district, Sher
man county, and is conducting an ac
tive campaign. He will see as many
of the voters as possible before elec
tion. Mr. Daddow would be a good
man to represent Sherman county in
the next legislature. A vote for him
is a vote for a Sherman county man
and the interests of the public wiil
be well looked after should he be
elected to the office to which he as
pires.
MULLEN FOR GOVERNOR.
Do the Nebraska voters want Ar
thur Mullen, the democratic machine
boss of Omaha for governor? Or do
they prefer a man like Sutton, free
from machine control and domination?
Mullen picked out Neville for the
democratic nomination and he is
Mullen’s man. Mullen will control
him. He is under obligations to Mul
len, and if elected, must submit to
Mullen's dictation and orders. Voters
take your choice next Tuesday—Mul
len or Sutton for governor.

GRIFFITH SPEAKS OF HIS GREAT
PRODUCTION.
When asked what constituted the
great appeal in “The Birth of a Na
tion,” the producer, Mr. Griffth, pic
turesquely remarked: “Because it is
the story of a lost cause. Napoleon
is a great and popular figure of his
tory—not because of his triumph—but
because of the island of Elba and
what ir. the life of Christ has influ
people throughout the ages? His
beautiful life? No. What then? His
crucifixion—the cross” Certainly fine
and moving words, these, which show
the character of the man who could
originate such a thing as this spectacle
and also, where his heart lays.
"Birth of a Nation” story of a lost
cause, but discovery of a better one.
The “Birth of a Nation” is far too
general to be local to any one part of
this glorious country, too broad to
breathe merely a regret or a brood
ing over spilled milk—it is the one,
splendid, living, surviving likeness of
a great nation coming to a mutual
and enduring understanding. Those
who witness it w'ill not declare the
production a "lost cause.” Do not
view it wholly as a picture—-remem
ber while you are seeing it, ‘though
you are but looking at living actors,
both men and beasts, and faithful por
trayals of things and scenes that wrere,
that your mind is living over again
in another generation the turbulent
times of ‘61 to ‘65, when sorely our
country's souls were tired, and that
these people are bleeding and dying
in exact counterpart of those who
bled and died and suffered then—for
your edification. Witness it by all
means, during its two days presen
tation at the Garland Theatre. It
will furnish you reflection for years
and years to come. November S and 9.

Mrs. D. L. Adamson. Loup Ciev,

have used Doan's Kidney Plls in our
home and they have always done just
as represented. I have been a sufferer
from my kidneys for a long time and
many weeks was laid up so that 1
couldn't do a thing. My feet and
ankles were swollen and my sight be
came affected. Backache made me
nervous, stiff and lame. After using
Doan’s" Kidney Pills, which I got at
the Rexall Pharmacy, I received re
lief.”

Very accurately describes state-wide prohibition. Be not
deceived.
The claim that the proposed prohibition amendment will
make Nebraska “dry” is a fraud.
> Those who propose a law that is to be submitted to a
vote of the people are expected to file with the Secretary of
State an explanation of what the law undertakes to accom
plish.
Over the signature of the Nebraska “Dry” Federation
appears this explanation:
“The proposed amendment does not at
tempt to deal with the habits and appetites of
our citizens.”
This is the naked fraud that is put before the unsuspect
ing voters of Nebraska.
In plain language, addressed to the drunkard, the boot
legger, to the boy and to the young man, the actual promise
of the amendment is:
“Buy a money order. Mail-order any
quantity of beverage from Chicago, St. Joseph,
or Kansas City. Our so-called prohibition law
permits you to be as intemperate as you like so
long as you purchase outside of your own state .**
There can be no denial of the fact that these are the
conditions offered Nebraska under the fraudulent prohibition
law we are to vote on.
The Yoke of Prohibition
_ __ i
Is Heavy
v
For if this amendment is adopted, it will fasten on Nebraska'
the demoralizing conditions now prevailing in other prohibi
tion states.
In Kansas this fraudulent brand of prohibition has
prevailed for thirty-five years, and has made the vile, un
speakable alley-joint a fixture in nearly every community. In
the past two years Kansas sent 85 murderers to prison,
Nebraska, in comparison, sending only 29 in the same period.
On June 30, 1916, the number of convicted felons confined
in state prisons in Kansas was three times the number
imprisoned in Nebraska. It cost Kansas taxpayers over
$701,000 in the two years to guard and maintain her convicted
felons, as against a cost of $325,000 in Nebraska.
This is what the fraudulent prohibitory amendment is
offering Nebraska, instead of a Nebraska “dry.” Look these
facts square in the face and decide if you want these con
ditions to prevail in Nebraska. Think it over! f

The Harrison law is very strict :n
its regulation, by federal authority, of
the sale and use of narcotic drugs. It
is a pity that there is no such an en
actment to prevent the altogether too
free distribution of the dope, "he
kept us out of war.” The use of this
slogan is as l«d as the drug habit.
It tends to letliargize the public mind.
It sets up false visions in the brain,
like those of opium and hasheesh. It
destroys the sense of values in politi
cal thinking. It means the destruc
tion of the national spirit as surely
as the continued use of morphia means
the destruction of the individual
spirit. The cure is to quit it.
