A'lv.rll.rr,nO ( F'otitif l A'lvrtirr Answer to the "Open Letter" Dear Mr. Candidate: In replying to the "open letter", I felt obligated to direct my answer to you, for you were aware of its contents before I received a copy and its intent is very political in nature. Rev. Onwiler. stated he had written the letter, and arranged to have if published in Monday's journal and that he was supporting you as a candidate for sheriff. So, it is very apparent that the "good names" of the ministers were ob tained and used to give creditability to the letter and further the candidancy of a man. I have had some visits, so far, with ministers whose signatures appeared on the letter and have learned that some of them did not completely under stand the letter they signed. One informed me he was new in the area. An other stated he did not read the letter before signing and now is anxious to have his name removed. And others gave me their personal feelings. All of the ministers so far contacted indicated they gave no money towards its pub lication. ' I visited with ministers in Elmwood and Murdock, and it was brought out that in these two areas and five more in the county, there never has been a juvenile case filed in court, nor ever a man reported or arrested in these seven areas for intoxication during my 16 years in office. These areas have no police of their own, and rely solely on the policing and night patroling of tha sheriff's office which is, in most cases, 35 miles away. A minister, from one of the county's 27 other churches, was rather disturbed that you, the candidate, asked him to use your name in his Sun day Sermon from the pulpit. Apparently you overlooked telling him about your record and qualifications. In the Smith case I was not asked to testify before the Commissioners, Before the State, I testified under oath in the matter for which I had been subpoenaed. I have testified or had matters before the Supreme Court, Dis trict Court tnd Counfy Court and never have been cited by any judge or Attorney for not giving the true facts. In past elections men seeking the office stood for what they were. They were proud to seek an office, proud of their record, proud of their qualifica tions and sought support from all this basis. In this year's elections we find candidates using the prestige of special groups as a substitute for their quali fications. This was true in the primary and is evident this fall. I never have, nor will I now, attend services in any Church for "polit ical reasons." My record of law enforcement is cbove reproach and solicit the sup port of the good citizens of Cass County on that basis. Sheriff Tom Solomon tackle; Tom Hansen, lineback er; Dave Osfhus, guard; and Dennis Horn, guard. Here Friday night amid the popping flood light bulbs and rain which ranged from steady to heavy from start to finish, Plattsmouth eame so close to victory that at one point an offi cial signalled what would have been a winning touchdown In the third quarter. But, an officials conference determined that drive had been stopped six Jnches short of the goal line and Plattsmouth fum bled the ball away on the next play. Then, after Papllllon's Owen Dlerks rescued his team from danger with one of his eight good pressure punts, Platts mouth stormed back to a first down on the three-yard line. Papillion recovered P 1 a 1 1 1 mouth's fumble on first down on the five. That frustration for the Blue Devils was their story of the game. For Papillion, it was a game of constant pressure with Dlerks' kicking under Impossi ble conditions as the outstand ing feature. The Devils had a big statis tical advantage. Papillion had only 12 plays from scrimmage, exclusive of punts, in the second half. Plattsmouth had a golden op portunity to score in the first quarter but an offside penalty proved deadly. Dave Nettelmann had re turned a punt from his 35 to 48 and the Devils drove goalward. Gene Noell got nine and then five after Nettelmann had been thrown for a two-yard loss. Noell drove one and eight and seven yards to the Paoilllon 24 for a urst down. Leland Prltchard got 11 to the 13 and on first down the Devils were penalized five. Noell got four and Nettelmann four and three but Noell 's fourth down three-yarder left Platts mouth a foot short and Dlerks punted to the 50. That was all the srrvrlntr threat until the Devils drove 53 yards after a break for their aborted scoring attempt from the half-foot line. Papillion had held the Devils on the Plattsmouth 35 but was called for roughing kicker Bill wetieimann and the Devils got first and 10 on their own 47. Dave Nettelmann ran left on first down for 32 yards to the Papillion 21. He got 13 to the eight and four to the five on er rj ond down. He carried to the six- inch line on the next play but then fumbled as Papillion grabbed his arm on the next play. Nettelmann's fumble on the succeeding drive dampened the spirits of the' rain-soaked Devil followers. There was no threat there after.

CASS DRUG Walgreen An open letter to Mr. Tom Solomon: Dear Mr. Solomon; In a letter which you addressed to the citizens of Cass County on October 5, 1962, you announced that you will again be a candidate for the office of County Sheriff. In this letter you said, "This comes about thru direct requests by so many citizens, the Clergy, and School Officials . . ." We, of course, are in no position to question just how many "cit izens" may have asked you to run, nor are we prepared to speak for the "School Officials," who ever they may be. We are, however, concerned about your inclusion of the Clergy in your list of supporters. We would like to have it known to the general public that many of the members of the Clergy in this county are actively opposing your re-election. We do not challenge that you perhaps have a minister or priest who is a friend and may have mentioned that you should run, but this is in no way to be interpreted by the public that the clergy is behind you. For one thing, even the pastors who do not stand for total abstinence from in toxicating beverages have said that they do not see how any man can be as interested as you are in the beer industry and still even claim to be objective in the enforcement of the law. We have not forgotten your testimony in opposition to the citizens of the county and their duly elected County Commissioners in the Dennis Smith beer license application. This surely made it clear just where you stand. It would seem that you should be working In co-operation with the County Officials rather than against them. There have been oc casions such as these of which we, as pastors in Cass County, would remind our fellow citizens. Yours truly, Rev. Harold M.
