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. Caahion ( Okla )

Tlte Official Figures.
The official figures of the vote
cast at the recent Nebraska
election are now at hand for an
alysis. 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.
