Mr. McElfresh Accepts Nomination. To the Editor of TheOolambus Journal, Colnmbas, Nebraska. Dear Sir: Having received the nomi nation for county attorney on the repub lican ticket at the recent primary elec tion, the same being wholly unsolicited on my part and without my knowledge, I desire to state to the people of Platte county through the columns of your paper that I have accepted the nomina tion conferred and am a candidate for said office. As the county attorney participates in no respect in the legislative functions of the state or nation I deem it wholly un necessary to advance any argument oa party issues. Suffice it to say that I earnestly believe that the office of county attorney should be conducted along pro gressive lines and that its administration should be honest, clean anil economic and free from vice and graft and at the greatest saving possible to tnc tax pay ers of the county who support the office. I believe that the office should not rep resent any political party or element or faction to the exclusion of the public. Tbe county attorney should represent the people and the sacred trust imposed should prompt him to fulfill his duties to all alike with special privileges to none. I believe that it is not within tbe duty of a county attorney to "spy out violators of the statute, but rather to give due and prompt consideration to all matters coming before him. I furth er believe that all unnecessary expense borno by the county for attorneys to assist the county attorney should be eliminated. A public official shoald ever bear in mind that we are existing in an age when it is hard for a great many to supply the table with tbe actual neces saries of life and avoid placing an addi tional burden upon the shoulders of his constituency in the way of increased taxes. Having accepted the nomination, I earnestly solicit the support of the peo ple and of the voters of Platte county, irrespective of party lines or party issues. Assuring you of my personal esteem, I remain, Very sincerely yours, C. N. McEi.FiiEsn. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Monday of this week the boys' tennis tournament began on the association grounds.
