MOSSMAN TAKES LEAD
Of all the candidates on either
ticket for any office, Harland L. Moss
man so ms to have taken a dear lead
for county attorney on the democrat
io side, and is eage 1y list ned to at
public mooting? by men and women
man is in strong demand as a speak
er at every meetir^g, and his would
bo rivals limp along crudely by com
parison . Mossman sp aks with such
mUBw-r ....
UARLAND L. MOSSMAN
f, c anil earnestness as to leave no
,ld :!> . h.itev as to where he stands
H - < ratory is of a type that both
an, is entertains and carries con
viction every time.
' th Ciounse Hall Monday nigh
wh • p.aee was filled to the
do . Mossman was tho only sp aker
ann am d excepting Governor B.yan
a,i oi . (a id.dates were permitted to
make their bow and say a word as a
matter of court sy.
M ...css-man spoke with his usual
dash and vigor, abusing no one, ex
pressing 20 preferences and indicating
...» a :.i • ty for any rival or any
faction, if told them bluntly of the
i?ru h • inborn faith in the majesty
ar i made no threats, and from his
start to the finish he was cheered to
th echo by the large audience which
i: dicated a wish for more.
But Mossman is a seasoned and
experienced orator and debator. He
has terminal facilities on the stump,
and >s always glad to yield to others.
He probably put more punch in the
20 .minute sp.ech at Crounse Hall
th n the average candidate would be
ab’e to deliver in two hours.
But Harland L. Mossman is Known
for oth:r outstanding abilities than
mere oratory. He is a gifted lawyer,
exp rienced and able than the people
seem to know he means what he says.
The contest of the democrats for
county attorney seems to have shaped
itself in a way favoring the candidacy
of Harland L. Mossman, whose appea
ranee at public meetings is hailed
with enthusiasm.
At the Crounse Hall meeting Mon
day night when the place was packed
with men and women, under the aus
pices of tha Services Men, Mr. Moss
man acquitted himself in. his usual
manner, winning repeated applause &
the large crowd listened eagerly and
asked for more, but Mossman had
poured forth his eloquence for twenty
minutes he gave way to the Governor,
rand the general comment of those who
beard and cheered his speech indicat’d ,
beyond question that Mossman was
the favorite for county attorney by
a large vote. Were the primaries
held tomorrow, it is believed by wise
enes that Mosman would win by a
tremendous majority.
Mr. Mossman is never abusive. He
takes the position that every other
fellow has a right to aspire to public
-office if he wants to, and that this
is still a free country. He simply
asserts that the office of county Atty.
is an important post, and he promises
to give th<* best that is in him to
to administer its affairs if he is chos
«n- Present indications are that he
will be nominated by a big vote
Mr- Mossman is a big d-rawing card
at public meetings everywhere- He
has become known as a highly enter
training speaker with something to say
that?'will instruct, amuse & entertain
He has no set speeches and indulges
in no fancy oratorical stunts He
simply stands up and hands it out in
language that everybody can under
stand. There is always certain to
be a big crowd when Mossman is ad
vertised to speak
In the contest lor county attorney,
Harani L Mossman seems to be lead
ing for the democratic nomination
at public meetings he is clearly a
favorite, always being greeted with
cheering and applause. Mr Moss
man’s style of oratory is always
engaging. He speaks with fluency,
force and conviction. He always
seems fair to his rivals, is never
abusive, and makes no wholesale
promises, threats or high sounding
platitudes to catch the crowd,
somebody always knows
where Mossman stands when they
have heard him speak,” is the way
one fellow put it.
Mr. Mossman as appeared at
several big meetings, and the crowd
was attentive and eager to hang on
every word he had to say. Mr.
Mossman does no dodging. He is a
Roosevelt democrat, but he reputedly
says that the couny attorney’s office
is'not and should not be made
a political machine. It is in his
judgement one of the most important
posts in the county, and should be
administered by those who think of
the rank and file of citizens and
taxpayers, without regard to any
political machine or organization.

be passed over in the initial stages.
No goveymental agency could have
met entirely the demand for rulings,

THE “NEW” TUXEDOES
The Tuxedoes, the fastest kitt.n
ball team in the middle west, have
either taken on new spirit or they
have decided to play ball for a change.
They have not lost a game for a
number of weeks, topping all these j
victories off by beating the South- j
western Iowa champions easily by a j
score of 5 to 1 at Cldebalt, Iowa.
The Tuxedo infield, composed of j
Junior Grayson, third base; Adolph
Bolden, shortstop; “Snozz” Smith,
second base and Clyde “Deac” Framp
ton, first base, have been classed bv
most sports authorities as the fastest
kitten ball infield ever to grace a
diamond. Their $ ^rational stops
and accurate throws to the basses
have helped to give them that dis
tinction.
Tj battery composed of Marty
Thomas, Mid City athletic director
and Herb Peak, pitching and Charlie
Crump catching, are a cinch to strike
out at least from 10 to 15 men each
game. Crump, although a hurler in
)iard ball as proved hmself an in
valuable man behind the bat in kitten
ball. His ability to call them right
has saved the Tux a number of
games. He is the only man that
could have possibly filled the shoes
of Willie Ware, former catcher for
them before his hand was badly cut
in an auto accident on the way home
from a game July 4th. Ware may
bo classed, and wthout exception, as
the best catcher ev?r seen in. these
parts and any other parts for that
matte:.
They need not fear that their repu
tation will vane with the coming
I years for the youngsters that are
1 coming now will wnll be able to carry
j on the name.

DEMOCRATIC CANDID
ATE FOR CONGRESS
—
H H Harper
II. H. Harp r sponsored the Na
tional Housing Act. The bill when
finally passed by Congress, included
the suggestion of Mr. Harper. It
is estimated that the bill result in the
employment of five million men ac
cording to the newspapers through
out the country.
A national magazine the News
Week in Business, June 30, 1934,
says, “The National Housing Act if
its fondest supporters prove right
will reduce unemployment more than
all the oth.r New Deal ventures
combined. It will renovate, not only
homes, but the entire structure of the
mortage business, reducing costs, in
creasing safety and stability. That
mortgage business represents an esti
mated iivestim nt of $43,000,000,000.
Half of that sum is in the home mort
gages.
H. II. Harper has taken an active
part in the promotion of legislation
to cr. ate work. lie has cooperated
with the Democratic party and helped
to put across a real progressive pro
gram. He spent two months in Wash
ington working with the l.aders of
the party.
The Omaha Bee News on April 25
carried the following announcement.
“H. H. Harp r founder oibthe New
Day leugue, which undertook a re
habilitation campaign in Omaha a
year ago is in Washington seeking
to have the government’s home re
novising program broadened so as
to include home replacement as well.
Harper is urging the gove am.-nt to
permit financing of new houses.”
The bill did provide for the finish
ing of new construction when finally
passed.
He has stood out as a lead.r in
the sponsoring of helpful legislation
in Washington and at Lincoln. He
urg_d the passage of an enabling act
at Lincoln to make it possible for
Nebraska to receive the full benefit
of tin- Home Owners Loan Law.
His suggstions have been given
consideration by the President.

says he will be back on the bench to

It is bsing whispered around the
office of the Western League Club that
Monro, La. Monarchs who have won
the pennant in the Southern League
for the past two seasons will put in
an appearance in Omaha soon against
the Packers,. The Monro. Monrachs
have lost one series to any colored
club in the U. S., that was th?
Homestead Greys. The Monarch*
are reputed to be th_ fastest and
tightest colored club on the road today
