mat ter Published Tuesdays and Thursdays MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYH t NORRIS ENDORSES SKALLA 3 McCook Nebraska October 2 i 1911 John M Watson Esq Bartley Nebraska Dear Sir I am in receipt of your letter of the 22nd instant asking my opin ion in regard to Mr Skalla the county clerk being a progressive Republican In reply I ivill state that Mr Skalla has from the very beginning been an earnest and thorough progressive He has al ways been outspoken and emphat ic in his support of progressive measures and progressive men I know of one or two standpat Re publicans who are bitterly fight ing Mr Skalla for the sole reason that he is known to be a support er of Senator LaFollette and that he belongs to the progressive wing of the Republican party and lias been active in his support of progressive principles and if such men should succeed in de feating him they would immed iately make the claim that such defeat was a demonstration that the progressive wing of the Re publican party was in the minor ity and in this way injure the progressive cause It seems to me that this ought to be a very good reason why other things being equal we should give him our hearty support The proper tiling of course in the election of a county clerk is the qualification of the respectivae candidates I think it is an acknowledged fact that Mr Skalla has made a rec ord as county clerk of which ev ery citizen of Red Willow county can justly feel proud His ad ministration of the office it is conceded by all has been of the highest character His efficien cy as county clerk has never been exceeded and I think all concede that it has seldom been equaled I know of no reason why he should not receive our hearty and enthusiastic support Yours truly G Y NORRIS Ohns Skalla Republican nominee for county clerk is made the object of a vicious and unwarranted attack by one who is too cowardly to come out over his own signature The attack is made upon Mr Skalla and the young ladies in his office in the form of questions which the writer knows cannot be answered now for lack of time in wliieh he insinuates certain charges One of these which is noticed only because of its absurdity is that Mr Skalla rides upon a railroad pass furnished by a bridge company from which the county buys This charge is a deliberate lie and is known to be such by the person making- it otherwise why did he not make tliis accusation in time so that all the voters might know Mr Skalla has never ridden upon a rail road pass and lias accepted no favors of any sort from any bridge company It is also charged that Mr Skalla is responsible for the incur ring of costs aggregating six hundred dollars on account of the indictment of a certain individual who resides in this county This charge is false in every particular Mr Skalla did not in stigate the prosecution nor has the county incurred one cent of costs on account of it This prosecution was instituted by the United States and any costs that may have been incurred on ac count of it were paid from the United States treasury at Washing ton The charges that have been made are of the same character as those that were made earlier in the campaign that Mr Skalla has collected illegal fees and tliat Oie has not had the tax books completed within the time required by law Both of these charg es were proven false and have not been repeated It is be lieved the voters will repudiate the charges as they should do because of the effort that is being made to deceive them JOHN F CORDEAL Chairman Republican County

October 7 1911 Honorable John L Kennedy Chairman Rep State Central Committee Omaha Nebraska My dear Mr Kennedy Upon my return home after an absence of several days I find your letter of October 4th awaiting my attention In my judg ment the issues of the next campaign should not enter into and are not connected with the issues of the present campaign In the presidential primaries next April the voter will be called upon to determine questions that are in no Avay related to or connected with the issues in the campaign tliis fall This fall we are electing judges of the Supreme Court Regents of the State University and a Railroad Commissioner The qualifications of candidates and the fitness of men for these offices are entirely distinct and sep arate from the questions to be determined in the presidential pri maries next April and no mans vote at the coming November election should be influenced by the position he intends to take next April in that contest Personally I had hoped that the issues of next years contest would not be brought up for discussion until after the coming election was out of the way and I would not have entered into any discussion of the issues and the men involved in the president ial primary had it not been that the question was first opened up and discussed by those who will be on the opposite side from ni3r self in the April primaries Yours very truly G W NORRIS McCook Nebr November 4th 1911 Mr Editor Last Monday my opponent Frank Golfer Democratic candi date attacked me in a Long letter in two McCook papers lie based his attack on the following newspaper comment in the Mar ion Enterprise quoting but six lines his letter is entirely with out foundation J C Moore for County Judge The attention of the voters of this vicinity is called to the candidacy of J C Moore for county judge Mr Moore is a man of mature judgment 55 years of age and has a record to be proud of in the office to which he again aspires lie stands and always has for a high standard of morals and is being opposed by ring politicians and the sporting element of the county on account of his opposition to their interests The office is an important one as it has to deal Avith the widow and orphan in the settling of estates and it behooves you to consider the qualification of the man you elect to this respon sibility tliis whole letter is based on his claiming that this Marion write up injured him His letter is not worthy of answer but will say j 1st TheMarion write up is every word true I AM OPPOS ED BY THE OLD RING POLITICIANS IN BOTH PARTIES AND BY THE SO CALLED SPORTING AND GAMBLING ELE MENT 2nd The write up did not re far to him in any way good or bad 3rd He has since printed in other papers a long letter and on Saturday before election sent out a long circular letter all eleventh hour appeals which I will not notice further than to say that while I am opposed by such interests I am on the oth er hand supported by a large number of people in town and coun try whose confidence and good will I hope to merit Avhether elected or not Yours very truly J C MOORE County Judge Respect for law for authority is only exceeded in direful result bj absence of reverence for re ligion for things divine The individual or the nation having a controversy with the Almighty is in for a fall Down in Red Willow county the fusionists are opposing the Republican candidates for coun ty clerk and county judge be cause thejr are candidates for third and fourth terms respectiv ely LTn here they are favorintr their own candidates for the- same reason
