For Coaama, Third District
J. F. BOYD
COUNTY
RepffMatatiTe.2ttliDiat EDLEUSCHEN
Comaty Attorney C.N. M.ELFRE8H
That newspaper is 'moat loyal to its
party which first raises its haad
against bad principles and bad men
within its party.
Among other things, we can't un
derstand why the Signal should have
been so anxious to defeat Edgar
Howard in the county convention and
so anxious now to elect Howard's
candidate, Shallenberger. "
Judge Boyd has declared himself
on the issues of the republican plat
form and pledges himself to stand with
Roosevelt- If he succeeds in convinc
ing every voter of the district that he
means what he says, his election will
be unanimous.
W. J. Bryan's assault upon Roger
Sullivan may have raised Bryan per
sonally in the eyes of the public but
it has been pretty hard on the demo
cratic party. As the case now stands,
tli democrats of Illinois have proved
conclusively that they want Bryan
for his oratory and Roger for his
grafting propensities.
The disavowal of .Bryan's govern
ment ownership theories by the lead
ing democrats of the country has
proved conclusively that government
ownership, if it comes, will come from
the hands of the republican party.
And any student of history should
have forseen this. How could a
state's rights democrat be reconciled
to the centralization implied in gov
ernment ownership.
The Journal wants to put this ques
tion straight to its democratic and
populist readers: Now, honest, did
nt the last republican state conven
tion make the kind of platform, and
name the kind of men that you hoped
the democratic and populist conven
tions would make and name? And
don't you feel it in your bones that
Sheldon and a republican legislature
would do more clean, honest, effective
work on rate regulation and other ques
tions important to you, than would
Shallenberger and a democratic legis
lature put up and dominated by such
men as Edgar Howard and P. E. Mc-Killip?

lieves in the stamp of republicanism
that routed the bosses in the last state
convention and made George L.
Sheldon the standard bearer for the
"square-deal" program in Nebraska.
If elected he will vote to send Norris
Brown to the senate to help hold up
the hands of Theodore Roosevelt in
his fight for the rights of the common
people. He will vote for lower

C. N. MCELFRESH.
G.N. McEIfresh, the republican
candidate for county attorney, is one
of the best lawyers in Platte county,
one of the straightest, cleanest and
ablest young men in the state and his
republicanism is of the kind that
prompted him to stand up in the
county convention which nominated
him and declare; "Gentlemen, I will
do all I can to be electdd and if elect
ed I will do my very best to transact
the legal business of Platte county
taxpayers honestly and economically.
The county has considerable business
with the railroads and other corpora
tions. I do not believe that an attor
ney can act with a free hand in this
business while accepting favors from
the corporations concerned. I there
fore pledge that I shall not accept a
railroad pass or other favor while-1
am in office."
The duties of county attorney are
for the most part a mass of petty
matters particularly adapted to the
energies and ambitions of a young
man. These small things in the aggre
gate are of importance to tax-payers,
but in detail they are apt to be deemed
insignificant by the older practitioner
unless his habits are especially ener
getic The greatest tribute was paid to
Mr. McEIfresh by Judge Reedor who
said in the convention "Mr. Mc
EIfresh is one of the brightest, ablest
and most promisieg young attorneys
before the bar intthis district."
C. N. McEIfresh is thoroughly
qualified both by education and prac
tice. He is a graduate of the West
Virginia State Normal and of the col
lege of law in the university of West
Virginia and was admitted to the Ne,
braskabaron examination in 1903.
He has practiced successfully before
all the courts in the county and is
now acting as deputy county attorney.

Pawnee ooaaty soil, worth at least
$100,000, together with the usual ap
purfaneaows in the way of live stook

Nebraska is fail of like cases. Saoh

the next thirty Ire years whether
land risss farther or not. It will not
be so easy to start now as it was than,
on a capital of forty-five otnts, of
knowledge to draw upon now that

W. F. PROWBTT.
W. F. Prowett of Nance county
the republican candidate for float re
presentative is recommended most
heartily by the Journal to voters of
all parties in Platte county.
Mr. Prowett was a successful far
mer until his neighbors induced him
to become their servant in that most
important of all county offices, that
of county treasurer, And they liked
him so well that they re-elected him
for a second term.
Mr. Prowett is vouched for by
Nance county people in both parties.
The big majority of voters in Platte
county want legislators who will stand
by Sheldon. They know that parti
san reasons would induce a democra
tic representative to try to ftmbarasn
Governor Sheldon. They should
therefore vote for Prowett who will
bring earnestness, honesty and exper
ience to the aid of Sheldon in his
struggle to bring about a square deal
to the taxpayers of Nebraska.
Vote for Prowett.
