A Representative of the Live
Stock Business for Sheriff
The campaign of 1907 is now drawing to a cio.se.
Before another week rolls around we will know the re
sult. Already the candidates are beginning to relax
their efforts , feeling that the voters have made up their
minds how they will vote and that further effort is un
necessary. The campaign lias been conducted with push
and vigor on both sides. Rival candidates have lost no
apportunity to meet the people and the public must be
pretty well acquainted with the men who are seeking
their suffrage.
Perhaps no candidate lias made a more thorough
canvass than Clyde A. lios-
seter for sheriff. He enter
ed the race with a wide ac
quaintance on the west side
and he closes the campaign
with friends in every corner
of the county. Wherever
lie went he made a good im
pression and made friends.
People who have met him
during the campaign now
understand why it is that
his neighbors are throwing
their party feelings aside
and rallying to his support.
Though not of the effusive
sort , he is pleasant and
agreeable , easv of a
CIyde A' Kcssetcr
pleasant
way about him. When you meet Mr. Hosseter you are
impressed with his frankness , his sincerity and his earn
estness of purpose , You see , too. that he is a _ man of
ability , and , as one of his republican friends in Merriman
precinct put it , "If lie is given a warrant for a man he
will get him and it will make no difference how big that
man may be:11 This is just another way of saying that
whatever comes in his official way to do will be done
and it will be done promptly and , efficiently. There is
no foolishness about him. lie is active physically and
mentally. He is a product of the western plains and is
typical of the best manhood of Nebraska ; open hand
ed and free hearted and willing to work for what lie
wants. When he went into the cattle business , he went
determined to make a success of it , and he has. When
he went into this campaign , he went in determined to
make a success of it and we believe the returns next week
will show that he has won the confidence of the people ,
and a majority of their votes. One thing is certain , if
Mr. Kosseter is elected sheriff every man will get a
square deal. He has no political debts to pay and no
political enemies to punish. He is just the right age to
make a useful sheriff. This county is larger than some
of the eastern states and the man who is sheriff of this
comity must be of that energetic disposition that is not
afraid of hard long drives.
Mr. Hosseter has been used to out door work and to
long hard rides in his business as a stockman. If a war
rant is placed in his hands to serve lie will not think of
the tremenduous distance it is from the county seat to
Pullman , to Mother Lake precinct , to Steen precinct or
to any other of the outlying districts. He has been over
the county and will know how to go and his push and
energy will make it easy for him to go. Being in the live
stock business himself , he is .representative of one of the
chief industries of the county and it is highly appropriate
that a representative of the live stock business shall be
elected to this office. This being a big county , located
along the Indian reservation , it is subject to raids from
cattle and horse thieves , and the approaching opening of
Tripp county to the north and the great influx of strang
ers that will come next summer will make this county
more liable to raids from cattle and horse th/Vycs / than '
ever before. There never was greater need to elect a
sheriff that will always be ready and able to respond to
emergency calls than now. If Kosseter is sheriff he will
always be ready when called and you cant depend upon
him to go to the end of the road.
Are Yon the Son of a Veteran ?
\
Or a Daughter of a Veteran ?
II. F. Clynr , the oM soldier candidate for county ,
judgf , has been discussed in these columns for weeks , i
and v/c trust every voter has satisfied himself as to Mr. !
dynes'honesty , sobriety , industry and Ability. During !
the twentyfiveears he has resided in this county , he1
Ms fo'nnetl s'o' mfcufy afcqutiiutltiic'es and become su well
known to the people that it seems unnecessary to further
discuss hisqualifications. . He is the only old soldier that
is running for office this year , and it ; is safe to say that
only a few more years and no old soldier can be found
to run for office. The national commander of the ( j. A.
] \ . made a report in 1905 in-which he showed that in 1890
four hundred thousand veterans were enrolled , and that
that grand army which successfully withstood four years
of warfare had so melted in fifteen years of peace that it
counted less than twenty-five thousand . No more pa
thetic tale was ever told in figures than this. Of course ,
not all the veterans are members of the G. A. E. , but
these figures show how fast the grim reaper is calling
them home. Only a few years and you will look back to
the time the veterans were a vital force in the commun
ity and then you mil think what a pity it was that while
some of them still lived you did nothing to show
them that they were appreciated. Every day of your
life you will have the opportunity to sing their praises.
Each memorial day you may lay flowers on their graves ,
but would it not be better to sing these songs of praise
to ears that can hear , to hearts that can respond , than to
wait "till each soldier sleeps in honored rest , his truth
and valor wearing. " The old veterans are rallying to
the support of Mr. Clynes , but what are you , the son of a
veteran doing ? What are you , the daughter of a veter
an , doing ? If you are the son of a veteran will it not be
a handsome thing to deposit a ballot for the man who
marched with your father to. the sea ? If your father
still lives , just vote for his old comrade and then tell that
father that you did it on his account and see his eyes
sparkle. It will do the old gentleman more good than if
you wait till he is dead and lay a blanket of flowers on his
grave. If you are the daughter of a veteran you have no
vote , but there is not the daughter of a veteran in Cherry
county that cannot control a vote. If you have a hus
band tell him that your father and Mr. Clynes "drank
from the same canteen11 and that husband will vote right.
If you have a sweetheart remind him that your father
and Mr. Clynes stood under the shadow of the apple tree
with Grant at Apppmatox , and that sweetheart will vote
right. Then , the first time the young man stays a little
late and the old gentleman "makes a kick about it,11
tell him that he voted for M. If. Clynes as a compliment
to him and then watch that battle scarred veteran run up
the flag of truce and consent to the young lover coming
as often and staying as late as he chores. But if your
tather be dead and you can no more gladden his heart
and quicken his pulse beats , you can at least pay this
practical tribute to his memory and feel "a glory in your
bosom that transfigures you and me.11
County Assessor.
During the past week we have learned that certain
highly interested parties have put out the report that the
office of county assessor was strictly a political one ; that
it held more political influence than any other and that
the office enabled the assessor to build up a machine
through his deputies by which he can control the county.
The people who have been responsible for this report
have done so for the mere purpose of drawing attention
from Mr. Young's well recognized fitness for this place
and are seeking to appeal to party prejudice where they
know an appeal to a man's better judgment would not
avail them. It has been said that the county assessor
has the appointment of a large number of deputies and
these will be given to the democrats.
Xo doubt many people who have heard
these statements believe they are true
because they have had no opportunity
to look into the question , and this sort
of claim seemed so ridiculous that Mr.
Young and his friends never thought
about it. On page 1285 of the statutes
of Nebraska for the year 1907 you will
find the law relative to the appoint
ment of deputy assessors and this
shows that no appointment can be
' the p.v nB
'made without the" consent of
board of county commissioners. The board of county
commissioners is republican and will be so ; and Mr.
Young could not , if he tried , build up a machine in the
interests of his own party. He cannot appoint any man
who is nat approved by the county board.
We mention this to refute the silly story that there
is great political power and influence attached to this of
fice , [ f you are a republican let us ask you , are you
afraid that Mr. Morris and Mr , .Russell , both of whom
will be on the board , and both of whom are republicans ,
will form a pool with Mr. Young- and name a lot of po
litical tricksters to manipulate the affairs of the county ?
Tliis report is sent out for the simple reason that no other
form of attack could be used against Mr. Young. They
could not deny his good character and his splendid quali
fications so they invented this report , Afew _ designing
men first whispered it around , well knowing' that it was
not true. Finally it reached the ears of well meaning ,
houost men who heard the story and believed it , and all
in good faith told tlieir neighbors. If you do not think
we have quoted the law correctly look it up. Ask Mr.
Cole , the present county assessor , about it , Ask any
justice of the peace to turn to the law covering the ap
pointment of deputy assessors and satisfy yourself.

We publish elsewhere in this paper ti letter written
by a number of taxpayers of River precinct , in which
they complain of the way contracts were let by the coun-1
fcy commissioners to C. E. Sherman for road work. They

this work was done , or ratlier where they say it ought to
