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

Honorable John L Kennedy

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

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
