Holcomb In speaking of fusion in this state the mind of the voter 'naturally reverts to Silas A. llolcomb , who was twice elected governor of this state by the fu- sionists. llolcomb is recognized by all as a good lawyer , and combined with his legal ability is a mind remarkable for its balance. If elected to the office of supreme judge the people may rest in the knowledge that they have one more champion.of justice on the bench of our highest tribunal , and with Sulli van already there the people will with Holcoinb's election be able to fight the trusts and corporations which menace our liberty with some show of success. For Regents State University Edson Kich J. L. Teeters Schools are said to be the bul jviirk of our nation's safety , and chief among the educational institutions of the west is the Nebraska state university , the pride of the commonwealth. But few of our. people realize the responsibility attached to the office of regent , but wo can assure them that they will make no mistake in voting for Messrs. Rich and Teeters. One is a democrat and the other is a free silver republican ; both are well qualified for the position and if elected will do all in their power to maintain the university's present high standard. CONGRESSIONAL For Congress. Sixth District William Neville In the opinion ol this paper there is no office more regnaus with politics than that of congressman , and this is peculiarly so in this district , which will elect a successor to "W. L. Greene. At the time the democratic and populist conventions met in Lexington , the pie hunters caused a diagreement and two candidates , one calling himself a popu list and the other a democrat but both advocating the-same doctrines , , werp placed in nomination. The dsmocrat placed himself in communication with bhe members of his congressional com mittee , and netn-ly every one advised liim to withdraw , and in a very grace ful and patriotic manner he did this on September 26 , and asked that the com mittee nominate "Wm. Neville in his place , concluding with the words , "and I pledge him my hearty support. " It is through congress alone that our po litical principles are given expression by appropriate legislation , and this fact alone is a sufficient reason for Neville's election. We may elect all the other officers , but without congress our political - ' ical principles will never become a part of the nation's laws. JUDICIAL For J ndges , Fifteenth. District W. H. Westover J. J. Harrington Four years ago a populist was elected t o the bench in this judicial district , a id many were the wails of woe and prophecies of dire disaster that went up from the republican camp. That pop ulist is now a candidate for re-election , and in looking over his record , made during the last four years , we fail to fin Ia single blemish on it. Always fair , ! honest and just , the nani3 of Judge Westover has become a house hold word , synououious with honor , in tegrity and truth , and because of this it possesses a terror to evil doers , and nil who engage in unlawful practices. Being a God fearing man , he has an in stinctive dislike for hypocricy , and al ways strives to decide foe what is right morally as well as legally. Associated with Westover in the campaign this fall is a new aspirant for honor , and one who bids fair to become one of the brightest stars in this par ticular section of the political firma ment. Practically raised in a law of- nc8 , he has developed into a brilliant attorney , and now at the age of 33 he possesses as finely balanced a judicial mind as can be found in the northwest. Some people argue that J. J. Harring ton is too young for a district judge , but to these carping critics we quote the words of M. P. Ivinkaid to a young republican aspirant for the position. Moses said : "I would rather try a case before a young judge , a man who will listen and learn , whose mind is not full of idiosyncracies and prejudices , than to try a case before an older judge , es pecially an old attorney who has prob- ably never seen but one side of a case ard is a stickler for technicalities. There's logic for you , and common sense , and it comes from an eminent re ublicanjurist. * COUNTY For County Clerk Peter J. Donoher When the question of fusion came up in this county , the demacrats asked to be allowed the nominee for clerk , at the same time promising to name as their candidate a man who would be thoroughly qualified for the position and who if elected would be a credit to his party , his constituents and county. The request was granted and the prom ise fulfilled in the unanimous noiiina- ion of P. J. Donoher , which was rati fied by the populists without a dissent ing voice. Pete , as he is known famil iarly to hundreds , has had a great deal of experience during the 31 years of his life , and we doubt if there is a man in the county who possesess more clerical ability than he. lie came to northwest Nebraska in 1880 , with his parents , and to Valentine in 1882 , so practically he is a product of this great northwest. In the spring of 1888 Pete worked in the laud office , and that same fall went in to the office ofV. . E. Haley , and wrote up that gentleman's abstract books , working for over a year. In ' 91 he ac cepted a position in the internal reve nue collector's office at Omaha , where he/remained three years , keeping books and doing other clerical work , since which time he lias been assisting his sisters in the management of The Don oher. This is but a small portion of our candidate's life history , but it cer tainly is enough to show that he is ca pable of filling the office to which he .aspires. Socially Pete is all that could be desired ; morally he is above criti cism ; politically he is and always was a Bryan democrat. These qualities , combined with a quick berception , rare wit and a happy faculty for making and keeping friends , almost insure his election without effort. For County Treasurer O. W. Halm When the fusion conventions met one week ago last Saturday the field r > vas thoroughly canvassed for a candi- date'for treasurfe witllTa "view"to- get ting , the best possible timber , and the choice fell upon O. W. Hahn almost without opposition. "Ote" is not a stranger to our people , having been a resident of the county for fifteen years or more , and is now living on his farm in Table precinct. lie has not been an aspirant for office since ' 93 , and was not tliis year , the nomination coming to him unsought , and it couldn't have gore to a better man for the place. In this particular we are fortunate. Dur ing Mr. Crabb's incumbency of the of fice Mr. Hahn obtained considerable experience in the work connected with the county treasury , hence if he wins the election no confusioh will result bb- cause of the change in treasurers. So well qualified is he , that when the pres ent treasurer got into difficulty a couple of months ago he sent for O. W. to as sist him. Aside from his qualifications "Ote" is a pleasant , genial gentleman , thoroughly honest , an industrious and conscientious worker , and if elected we will guarantee that he will publish his financial statement within a reasonable length of time after the commissioners' meeting. For County Sherilf John II. Skirving In this county the office of sheriff is one of g. eit importance , and if he is so disposed the sheriff can greatly increase tie burdens of taxation ; he can make the countyV. good name suffer , and he can render inoperative the decrees of courts and impede if not stop the work of justice. With these multifarious op portunities present , it is well that we select a good man for sheriff , and this man the populists found in their ranks in the person of John 11. Skirving. of Brownlee. Earnest , honest , upright , sober and industrious , genial , erudite and firm in manner , he will make an officer in whom , we can all have confi dence and one who will command the respect of all classes of society. Skirv ing first came to this county in 1890 and during that time he made friends with large numbers of our people , but later on moved to his old home in Iiolt county. About three years ago , how ever , he returned to Cherry county , set tling near Brownlee and afterward in company with his father buying the general merchandise business of Fritz & Lewis , in which business he is still engaged. John has lots of friends who ( .Continued on oth page. ) rf WE AEE AGENTS Busby Gloves , Douglas Shoes , Henderson Shoes , Cordette.
