'I'ho history of .Tohn 1\IIclwy Is the
.1lstory of the beglnnlnJ ; of things In
hla county. He made the first homestead -
stead entry thnt was made In the
United States Il1nd office at Lincoln.
Ho was ono of the first two settlers In
: ho countr. lIe hlped to organize the
: ounty and was ita first trensuror ,
! Crvlng continuously for ten yenl'S.
! Ie was the first assessor In the county.
He helped to ol'ganlzo the first school
jlstrlct , district No.1 , and was Its
! irst t'easuror. lIe was ono of the 01'-
anlzers of the Ilrst church society In
ho county. In a good many of these
mterprlses 1\11' . Mlclccy seems to have
been not only one oC the organizers ,
but the ouo who thought out and
I\'orleed out the proposition from the
beginning.fl' ! . l\lIcleo ' started the first
anlt In the count.y and Is still Its prcsl-
dont. He was oue of the organizers
) f the County I alr association. He
bllS given the use or the grounds which
this assoelntlon has occupied during
the last twenty years , and was ono of
the chief contrlhutors toward the erection -
tion of the hulhllngs which the nsso-
Iatlon has uRed. 110 contributed $5,000
to the $12,000 Methodist church here.
Although an nrdent Methodist. ho was
reader thnn that , and his liberal contributions -
tributions have gene Into nearly every
hurch structure In the county. It Is
dyen out hel'e on the heat authority
that his church and school donations
In the last ton years amount to over
20OO. ( ) 'rhls Item , when It Is con-
Iidered that 1\11' . l\Ilrlccy Is not partlcu-

I\'hat ho has nClnnnulated Into what-

! \fl' . 1\lIelccy was ono of the 01'-
anlzers of the town of Osceoln. The
World.Herahl has chnrged that the
town \Vns located on a tract of railroad
land through his manlpulatlou , but the

of lito In PolI < county , and \vhat they
hud been , thatIngled him out and
made him attraetl ve to republicans all
over the state. When he was finally
nominated , this thing , his life In PolI <
county , \VIlS the most attraotlvo feature -
ture ot his public personality. To
breale down aa much as po slble this
part ot hla strength as a candidate , the
World-Herald sent a representative
here who traveled ever the county Cor
Iseveral days , finally puJllshlng ! In th
World-Herald what purported to be Interviews -
terviews trom nlnn allogell republicans
who would not support Mr. Mickey.
As a sample or the Worill-Iernlll's
I'eckless worle In Its efforts to Injure
Mr. Mleltey , the Collowlng statement
from George 'V. Beebe , a Polk county
farmer , and ono ot the men whom the
World-Hernld pretended to Intervlow
against Mr. Mickey , spealt for Itsolf.
ThlH Is what 1\11' . BeeJe ! says In a signed
statement :
"I never saw the 'Vorld-Herald re-
pOl'tor when he WIlS here , nor ut Iluy
other limo , I never gave Ollt any In-
tervlow or made any statem < , nt to the
World-Herald , or any other newspa-
per. I was surprised anll Indignant
when I heard that my name WlIS In the
paper. I have ! Jeen a repuhllcan hero
through all these years , when I waa
the only republican In my neighbor-
hood. I 1m vo ! Jeen to town several
times this senson trying to hire men I !
to help me at my farm \Vorl ; : , but people -
ple are so husy that It Is ImposslJle ! to
got holp. If I want men to bo Idle and
help to be plenty , I would votl : ! the
democratic tlclcct. I Intend to vote tor
Jolm 1\lIeleey. I want to see him elected -
ed and 1 ! Jell eve ho will be. I thlnl <
the course lJUrsuod by the "rorld-Her-
uld In misrepresenting people here will
Increase the majority ror the republican -
lican tlcleet in this county. ( Shned. )
"G. W. BEEBE. "
Mr. Boebe , In convel'satlon with re-
puJllcan ! frlonds , said some things that
were a little too hot to print.
Now let ns talte the business men
around the IlIIbllo square here In Os-
ceola and see what they say of Mr.
Mlcltey.
"You ma ' commence with me , " said
Mr. Prntt , the hotel man. "Put It
down ror me that I have known John
l\lIcleey a long tlmo and I have lenown
him well. He Is as straight as a die ,
and one of the most competent men I
ever know. NO\v , go Into the drug
store next door and then go right
around the square and see what the
others say. "
D. H. Kunltle , druggist : "I have
lenown Mr.lIcleey : twonty-elght years.
Ho Is as prompt as a clock In everything -
thing , and keeps his worl < right to the
lettor. 1\lIeltey Is a'ery thorough
man. He worls hard. He haa made
lots. of money and he has given lots of
It away. Hc has helped things along
here ever since the town started. If ho
Is elected he will be governor. They
can't monleey with him. The Interviews -
views that wont out from here through
the 'Vorld-I1erald didn't hmt 1\IIcicey \
here. "
In this drug store wns Mr. G. 'V.
Gregg , a nurseryman. lIe said : "I
haye he en 1Ivlng right along side oC
Mr. 1\lIclcc ' for elghteon years. I have
hud thousands of dollars worth of

In trouble and Is honest ho can always
find a friend In Mr. 1\lIcloy. : I havc

H. A. Scott , genernl store : "I have

1\IIciccy \ in the highest terms.
At Stromshurg , the endorsement of
1\11' . 1\lIclcoy by the business mon was
as positive as at Osceola. Stromsburg
used to bo one of the strongholds of
populism , but the whole situation has
changed In the last year or two , and
the sentiment for 1\11' . Mickey's election
Is now the most conspicuous political
demonstration hero. Mr. P. T. Buclt-
1e ' , ono of the old tlmors , and a prominent - ,
nent business man , said :
"I went down to Mlcleo "s homestead -
stead In ' 71 to get him to show me how
to male my homestead papers. He
was then a sort of a genornl counselor
to the settlers. He Imew how to 110
everything. 'Vhen there was any now
thing to be done , Mlcleey always dug
rIght Into It , looleed up the law , and
found out al1 aJout ! it. His whole me
slnco then has been right along that
line. Ile has helped more people In
this county than any other man who
has ever lived In It. "
Mr. John n. Buckley , president of
ono of the banls here , and a largo
propert ' owner , said :
"I ha\'e lIved here thirty-nine years
and hayo lenown John 1\lIcleey al1 this
time. I lenow his record as 11. pub1lc
official , as 11. business man and as a
citizen , and I lenono cleaner record
and no better man. The pops spent
$2,500 or the county's money trying to
find something against him while he
wns county trensurer , and I tell you ,
populism ne\'er recovered from the re-
hound of that Investigation. "
J. A. Tarble. a farmer at Shelby. beIng -
Ing In Stromshurg , said : "I have
lenown Mr. Mlcleey ever since I home-
stendell twenty-nine years ago. I'm ' an
old soldier and It malees mo Indlgnnnt
to think that the World-Herahl woulll
misrepresent him and his relation to
the old soldiers. Why , John 1\lIclOy
hns heen the most practical friend the
old soldiers have had in this county.
I remember some years ago when the
winter was cold and everybody was
hard up , we had a meeting of the post
to consider the needs of some of the
old veterans. Some of thorn needed
money and the post had no money.
Mlcley got up and said : 'Send thorn
to mo and I will talee care ot them
somehow. ' Ho was always just 111(0
thnt. Ho hus done moro lelnd acts to
the old veterans than MY ether man
In this county , and the papers ought
to be nshamed to try and mlo that
credit away Crom him , but he's got
friends enough to elect him all right. "

to do that requires judgment and ac-
curacy. I nOYor lenew of his honesty

for him in every election when he was
running for countj' trcasurer , and I
have novel' regretted It. We'll stay by

I have horrowed money or him since
