tion from us. He isono Webster coun
ty's early settlers and has always been
known as a mau of sterling worth and
a man of oxcollent character. His elect
ion to the office of County Commis
sioner would mean that all funds of
the county bo safeguarded and that all
money would bo wisely and econom
ically exponded.
A. H. lirlght, Democratic candidate
for County commissioner, came to this
county in 1B78, took possession of a
homestead and is still living ou the

lence In complicated book-keeping,
his well kiipwu accuracy, his careful

to make him fully equipped for tho
duties of that olllce. For two years be

there will show that he known how to
recoid documents of every nature neat
ly and in oi dor. Vote for Mr Dailcy
for county clerk.
Clarance Harmon Is surely the popu
lar candidate for the office of Railway
Commissioner. His well known legal
training, Ids falrnets to corporations
and to individual his stability aud
firmuess all testify to his qualifications
for that office., This office demands
that the large corporations in this

aud there is uot a candidate before
the people better fitted by nature and
by training for just dealing than Mr.
Harmon. Regardless of politics ho is
considered THE MAN for the place.
Miss Edith Molveighau is conceeded
by all to be thoroughly competent for
tho position of Clerk of the Distiict
(Joint. No one questions her ability
to handle that olllce satisfactorily
All ate agreed that he will make an

fit her for the tchponsibiliticbconueut
ed w ith legal matters. Shu is accurate

Mr Voter you kuow that vegardless
of paity ntfilUttlons tho public gets
better cervleo fiom all stato hennis
when thoj are. divided politically
Any paity glvon exclusive powers
for a long let U of , veins tends to be
come corrupt. Most of usam tainiliar
with the conditloiiH which prevailed u
few years ago vhcu a political lint;
controlled tho state otltcesaiupald olV
political debts with state funds about
S50o,OOQ.OO. 'A change was mado aud
further loss was stopped. "This whs
accomplished because the people be
gan to do their own thinking. A lit
tle prevention is better than a gieut
deal of cure, ,
Now let u think a little, You know
that iu this sjate we have seven Sup
reme Court judges and that wo elect
three this November. Now if tbe
Democrats elect all three of their can
didate, the Hupicme Court will stand
four Republicans mill thri'o Dotno
crats Also there are six .Regents of
tho Rtite University and there arc to
bo two elected at tho coming election
If Hie Democrat elect both of ttielr
cxudldati-s tho llontd of Regents will
hluml four Republicans and two. Detn
ocratft. Tho name is true of Hallway
Commiftssonor, If we elect our candi
date there will bo two Republicans
and one Democrat. In this county wo
have live commissioner, Two are t
be elected and if the Democrats are
elected thetc will be three Republic
ans nnil two Democrats on the county
board, Just think these thing? over
when jou are alone, arrive at a just
and honorable conclusion and vote for
the bust interest of yourself, your
county and your state.
Since this la the last issuo before
the election we earnestly ask every
voter to carefully and thoughtfully
consider the qualifications, the inte
grlty-nnd t he honesty of the candidates
on the Democratic ticket for county
and state positions. You Mr. Voter
and Taxpayer aro about to employ a
number of people to transact your
business and it is to your interest that
yon select the ones most capable, most
elUeient. We have every confidence
lit our candidates. They are widely
enouirh located that every part of the
county is represented. They arc all
worthy and deserving. You will make
no mistake by casting your judgment
in favor of the Democratic candidates
next Tuesday.
Miss Gertrude Coon, Democratic
candidate for the ofllco of county sup
erintendent is a lady whose scholastic
attainments are of the very highest
order. She was successfully graduat
ed from our high school, the State
Normal and the State University. She
holds a life professional certificate,
has taught school in tho rural district
iu the graded schools and In tho high
school and Is thoroughly acquainted
with LI he needs and requirements of
nil branches of our public school sys
tem. She is enthusiastically devoted
to her chosen profession and is emi
nently qualified for tho olllce of count y
superintendent. Miss Coon was born
and reared in this county and is essent
ially a Webster county girl. Vote for
her.
The roads in this district havo been
very noilcibly impioved in the past
year. James nicintosn lias accomplish
ed a great work in road building
Tbe mile of road between tbeRlver
bridge and the depot has been graded
and placed In,, better shape than iu
many years. Two deep well defined
gutters carry tbe flood on either side
of a fine wide graded track tbiongb
which two concrete culverts equalize
tho oveiflow, ,,Jlm" has personally
superintended his road building, aud
already has built moie than 18 miles
of rond In Hie district at u minimum
cost Heistapidly becoming exper
ienced in the art of eood road build
ing and the taxpayers aro getting val
uo received for their money A vote
for James Mclntosh'lsan cudoisement
for an industilous, capable public ser
vant. Judge Harry S. Dungau has lived In
Adams County for the past thirty
eight years aud may well bo consider
ed as having earned a residence, as be
ing a permanent fixture. For twenty
two years he studied aud praoticed the
profession of law and gained an in
fluential position among the lawyers
of the state. He has served one term
as District Judge and during that
time lias tried and disposed of 1400
causes more than one a day for every
working day of the four years. Judge
Duugan applied the law so well in
these cases that only ten pet cent of
them were appealed. And of those ap
pealed a large pioportlon of them
were affirmed by the Supreme Court,
lu faet out of tho 28 District Judges or
this state he stands sixth on propor
tion of cases affirmed by tho Supreme
court. Judge Duugan lias made good
and ho glows with his woik. Pro
giessive, fearless, honest and square,
ho Is the people's ideal of a judge.
One thing can cettaiuly bo said in
Judge Dungtiii's favor aud that is he
has conducted a fair and dignified
campaign and he has gi ou his decis
ions without fear or favor. He is un
der no obligations to anybody or any
body of men Vote for him.
I have a few words to say as candi
date for County Cleik to the voters of
this county and 1 will he brief and con
cise. I havo always been a resident of
Webster comity having been born on
my fathers homestend near (lUidcltouk
lu ISS1. lu 1883 tho family moved to
lied Cloud myself among tho number.
Since then 1 havo been a resident of
that place and ncqtilied my edtiu'itlon
Iheie. 1 am 30 years of age, and for
the first time I am a candidate for of
lice.
Soino of the friends of my opponent
say that I look tyo young for the posi
tion it seems to bo an oftVnso in their
eyes to look young at thirty. I may
Out-grow this handicap iu time, but I
hope to look young evou at sixty.
My education, occpatlon and environ
ments have been such as to fit me to
discharge tho duties of the otllce as I
believe In an ettloieut and Intelligent

way which I know I can aud wlJUlo.
I have been deputy County Clerk for
two years and nm thoroughly acquain
ted with all the requirements urid dut
ies of that office. I shall appieciate
tbe high honor of being elected Coun
ty Clerk, hut aside from tills I will say
that the salary of 9 1000,00 per yeui
would be very occoptable and of grea'
assistance to'mc at the present t'.tnaa
like all young men I hhi striving to get
a stait in llfo and make me a homo.
My opponent piineiplo aigmnent
is that because he has been elected
twice to that oillco that lie should
nowbeelected for a third term, itsecms
to mo that this will not appeal strong
ly to tho voters of this county, for if
he baa perfoimed his duties well he
lias been well paid for it, and the
county owes him nothing.
In conclusion I will say that if I
have herein said anything wot thy of
your careful thoughtand consideration
that you will weigh it at Its true worth
and render a verdict accordingly at the
polls Nov. 7th.
Thanklnc the voters In advance for
any kindness or favors shown me I
am very respectfully yours,

conduct tbe affairs of that office wttli
eredltto myself and the community iu
the event of my election. In contest
ed cases, where the interested parties
cannot agree among themselves, all
that the court can do is to decide the

outside influence.

office bv a large majority over my
opponent iu the pilmary, and will ap
pieciate the suppoit of every elector
who believes that I am competent aud
qualified to perform the duties of the
