Central Committee , Springview ,

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.

Trlpp County Registering
at Valentine.
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.

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. [
