The newspapers build your town ; why not help build up the newspapers ? There is no better advertisement in the world than a good newspaper. A newspaper is the barometer of the town's industry.

Kearney Hub. Friends of W. II. Carson , form er editor of this paper , will be pleased to learn from an article in another column , that he has secured the position of associate editor of the Custer County Re publican , a paper printed at Broken Bow. Mr. Carson can make good iu any newspaper position and we wish him well , Syaacuse Journal. Right Kind of Advertising. If advertising newspaper space for sale brings good returns the prudent business man cannot dodge the conclusion that the conspicuous placing of his com modity before the public eye will attract trade. Not the least important phase of advertising ia the information which the columns contain. The best rounded men and women , the practical housewife and the best shoppers always rely on what a merchant or manfacturer has to say about his article ol sale or production. It always gives poise to a person or cor poration to put a claitnjon paper and hence the value of an ad. It is more than talk it is a written bulletin fresh from the store or factory.

The total vote in round figures is 207,500. The highest vote polled by any candidate is 104,188 for one of the regents on the republican ticket , who is therefore elected by a clear majority. The total vote for the six judges foots up 188 , 561 , making a .shortage of 24,000. The total vote for judges is less than the vote for regent to fill vacancy which was much further down on the ticket , and which sums .188,450. The tremendous shortage of the vote for judges as compared with the total num ber of ballots cast is due to the fact that there were three can didates running on each ticket and thousands of voters recorded themselves for only one candi date , or two candidates and threw away part of their franchise. The vote on supreme judges shows that all three candidates ran remarkably close together. The high man on the republican ticket is2,394 ahead of the high man on the democratic ticket and 2,616 ahead of the low man on the democratic ticket. The aver age republican majority for judge is therefore about 2,000. It is interesting to note that while the low man on the republi can ticket won out by 1,273 , his majority in Douglas county was 1,591 , and without Douglas county his majority' would have been wiped out , On the part of the ticket de voted to regents it is difficult to make accurate deductions be cause the fusion between the democrats and populists includ ed only the one candidate for the short term vacancy. The rep ublican regent for the short term wins by 12,012 , and the two re publican candidates for long term each win out over the combined vote of the democratic and pop ulist candidates running separte- ly. The candidates running as a democrat alone received 71,438 votes and the candidate running as populist alone 24,891 , making their combined vote 96,329. This is not a fair way to combine the two , however , because no doubt a considerable number of democrats and populists voted for both candidates. It is a fair inference that the populist con tribution to the fusion combina tion still upward of i5OOUand { it is likewise plain -that these yotes would not have been cast for the democratic candidates except for their fraudlent mas querade in the populist garb.
