TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : It may be of interest to the voters of the Fifty-second legisla tive district to know the exact standing of the candidates of this district , for the General Assembly for the coming term. We as com-1 mitteemen can say that \ve are per sonally acquainted with both of them and have known them for years. Their occupations in life , as well as their general character- , ar3 entirely different. John F. Carr , the democratic candidate is an energetic and pro gressive citizen engaged in farm ing , stock-raising and merchandis ing , and is a straightforward , up right business man. a good hus band and a kind father , temporat ? in habits , a member of the church 'and altogether a self-made man. He came to this part of Nebraska when Key a Palm county was still a part of Brown -county and when Cherry county was as yet unorganized - j ganized territory. The best years of his life have been spent among us , and throughout it all he has ever maintained a good name , with credit to himself , and honor to his family and friends. H. M. Duval. the republican candidate , came to this county in the spring of 1900. He had scarcely been naturalized when he1 ' was seated at the "pie counter11 j by the republicans of this county , I by being elected county attorney , ' which oflice he has held ever since there being none other who would have the same. I | is a lawyer by profession , a director of the Slate Bank of Springviuw. and a money lender and land grabber by occup j ( 'ation , and a political trickster by ' trade. HE .SCORNS IJELKJION. In an announcement made in the ' Springview Herald August 27th , ' 08 under the caption. * 'AIy Phu- form" . he says , "I favor county i option" , and still his solace i in the rum bottle and no man in the ' county imports more liquor for ! his own private use than II. ] \I. Duval. Jfhe has ever performed an eight hour day of manual l.ibor in this county , there is no record of it from the beginning of his career I ' to the present time. j The less said of His social stand [ 5n < r , the better , and ere we speak of hi.s treatment of his family the sowerful chapter of his misdeeds 'might well be closed. ! ( Why should this man ask the 1 voters of this legislative district. ' ; to prefix "JJonorable" to his name ? j Why should those who exorci.se .1 thorioht'f sull'ragp. clothe this ' man with power to inllict i ire par- i : iMf > injury to them at will and't ' pltiaaurcl Can the ' 'oters of this i district trust a man enact laws i to govern them , \1. 'openly and t i flagrantly violates existing statutes 'day by daj f. The Keeord tells us , ' 'By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes or thorns , or figs from thisles ? For this reason the iriends of John F. Carr urged him to be their standard bearer , well knowing his attitudeon the ' 'live issues" of the day , before he publicly announced himself , and feeling sure if he .were chosen to represent this dis trict in the next general assembly , he would strive for the enactment of just and equitable laws laws too , that HK would bo willing to obey.

Several people had been coming in for the past week and waiting to register. It was thought by some of our townspeople that there would be a great rush 'but we did not think so. The first train from the E'ist Sunday night brought in about 20 or 00 persons who mostly were registered in time to return the following morning. They re gistered somewhere during the nijrht and the report was freely circulated that John Tucker did it at the court house , using the oflice of county attorney and the name county attorney as a leverage to secure the business. As the morn ing train rolled in it was heard from several sources that the coun ty attorney's office at the court house was the place to register and that that was the only place to register. Thus many were de ceived into believing as they stated later that there was no other place. This practice was stopped after the register of the land office threatened to i efuse Mr. Tucker any more blanks if his misleading conduct was not dihcontiuued , though Col. ilaraison refused to discontinue handing out cards that directed people to "go straight to the court house. The county attorney will arraugeall your papers correctly , " and some other directions. It was also plainly seen that our townspeople were opposed to grabbing people elF the trains and escorting them to a booth near the train for the purpose of getting1 jthem registered quickly and oil'j on the return train without taking ; 'time to look at our town or the surrounding country. This was not the plan nor the intentions of ] ' our Commercial club in securing this registration at Valentine. ' Tiio.seho have so little interest ! in our town as to think only of a 'qtiaiter that might be obtained for registration would likely use questionablemeansof obtaining25c j 'and leave the impression with , homeseekers of a hungry lot of i wolves at Valentine who pulled | and nairgnd at them from the time they got 'tt'the train until they 'spent a quarter and were not thereafter noticed excepting , per chance , some information was sought. Their sudden release from custody or persecution as soon as their quarter dropped left them relaxed and ill at ease , with- j out < ambition to turn and seek in- ' < formation about our town or sur-1 rounding country , they being i impressed i with the importance of registi : ation to the exclusion of the thought i of the country they were 'in i and the numerous advantages here ! for home-seekers failed to 'arouse their interest in a home among us in the west if they- failed to get a home in Tripp county. The Commercial Club therefore insisting on different treatment of the people it was agreed by all notaries at Valentine and have signed such agreement to open their offices for business at or after | f _ The Office of County judge While you are thinking over the political issues that are involved in this year's contest andfixing in your mind how you are going' to vote , be sure you do not overlook the office "of county judge. The vacancy in this office i occurred so late that the political parties were not able to [ make nominations and when you get your ballot you will notice that there are three candidates in the field , all of them running by petition. James C. Quigley has been endorsed by the demo cratic county committee and is to all intents the demo cratic candidate and ought to get the democratic vote as well as the support of republicans who believe in voting an indepe-ndant ticket in local affairs. Mr. Quigley was born in Cherry County : he graduated from the Valentine high school and has since graduated from the Bellevue college. It is certainly not saying too much to assert that in the matter of education , Mr. Quigley has had a more thorough training than any man who has ever been a candidate for this office. We do not wish to be under stood as saying that a man without a college education may not be well fitted to fill the most important positions , but we mention his college training so that people who do not know him personally may feel assured that he is thoroughly fitted for the place. It is being urged against him that lie is a young man but young men are the order of the day. The young men are taking the le d in all the activities of life. President Roosevelt is the young est president we have ever had. Mr. Bryan is a young man , Thomas Jefferson was only thirty-three when he wrote the declaration of independence. It is no more necessary to have an old man in the office of county judge than in any other office. The legislature has never found it necessary to specify that a man must attain to a cer tain age before he is eligable to the office of county judge. AAre have had old men in that office for a good many years , now let us have a young man. If Mr. Quigley is elected he will devote his entire time to the duties of the office and we feel isafe in predicting that his services will be satisfactory to the people. 7 o'clock a. m and close at 0 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of registering applicants at Valentine.

She has a boy and a girl in the 4th grade in that room. Mr. Behrens , a member of the school board where Miss Nellie Gol- lett taught in Saundcrs county , vis ited Miss Collett's room Tuesday of this week. Mr. and Mis. Gore of Friend vis ited Miss Collett's room Tuesday. They bring good words from Clinton Collett who is now teaching in the high school at Friend. An interesting letter from the Misses Stinaid to Mrs. YVatson states that Mr. SHuard has rented a flat in New York for the winter and that the family are now nicelv set tled. We are in receipt of an interest ing letter from Harvey Hornby at Davenport , la. Harvey seems to be getting along nicely after his severe attack of appendicitis and lie will soon be able to enter school. Supt. W. L. Stephens of Lincoln and R. II. Watson of Valentine were called together in Lincoln last Sat urday by the state superintendent to outliue a course of study for the teaching ot grammar in the high schools of Nebraska. Several students have dropped out of school lately and some have not assigned very satisfactory reas ons. The young person who drops out of school without any excep tionally good reason , is doing some thing which he will regret bitterly in after life. Judge F. M. VValcott entertained the teachers of the Valentine schools and a few friends at one of his famous camp suppers in the city park on last Thursday evening. The evening was perfect and the Judge was declared by all to be a royal entertainer. Mrs. Watson received a nice let ter jesterday from Mrs. Edna Raw Is , and her husband had just . returned from an extended trip to New York and other northern cities. She says she is sometimes quite homesick to see old c'assmates and other friends in Valentine. Ada Smith , one of our very best non-resident students , has been compelled to drop out of school on \ account of the fact that her parents do nqt feel able to pay her tuition. [ Li a country that boasts so often of its free schools , it does seem that [ there ought to be some way out of such difficulties.
