DR.. McClusky and Carl Will left
tuesday on the Rock Island excursion
from Omaha for Ell Reno, where they
VIII pick out the quarter sections they
We're lucky enough to draw at Uncle
Sans recent land rattle. Their names
are to be called up about August %.
Claims are being filed at the rate of
about 1875 per day. Both will select 100
acre tracts in the Ell Reno district. In
this section are some $500 quarter sec
tons. Each will be able to pick out
good pieces, as there will only be about
a third of them gone by the time their
names are sailed up. They figure their
chances are better by 200 than when
their numbers We're first announced.
This is on account of repeaters and
others who are in some way disquali-
fled to file.
Democratic Candidate for State SUI
perintendent.
GCarroll Sentinel
William Pitt Johnson was born in
Iowa county, Iowa, January 81, 1867,
and therefore is in his thirty fifth
year. He was educated at the North
ern Indiana Normal school and the
Iowa State University. For four years
he was county superintendent of Iowa
county, has been superintendent of
schools at Scranton, Fonda and Sibley,
each time changing to accept a higher
salary and what was considered bet
ter position among school men. He
was at Sibley three years and last
spring was elected superintendent of
the Carroll schools and will enter up
on his new duties next Monday. Altho
he has hardly been a resident of this
city long enough to become thoroughly
acquainted, our people are well i'm
meanor and with his thoroughness and
ability as a school man.
Mr.. Johnson is a relative of the once
famous governor and United States
senator from Louisiana, William Pitt
Kellogg. Unlike his celebrated name
sake, however, Mr.. Johnson has always
been democrat. but realizing the
niceties of his position in the public
schools he has refrained from active
political work.
SUSTAIN THE PARTY COMMITTEE.
LDes Moines Register.l
The Iowa republican state central
committee has been we'll and harmon-
.toNslys organized for the labor of the
campaign, and 1t should be sustained
and assisted by every true republican.
The committee will have a vast amount
of labor to perform. therefore it must
have the usual contribution of funds
and the active assistance of working
republicans in every portion of the
state. There is still little soreness
with many good republicans. but it will
all soon pass away il the senseless
criticism of the small minded is
promptly stopped. Every republican
should now rally to the support of the
party ticket-there will be plenty of
opportunity for criticism after the tick
ct has been elected. and labor for the
cause will then show who have the best
right to criticise. Mr.. r. H. Spence.
the new committee chairman, is a man
who is well qualified to lead the partys
campaign. He is experienced in poll
itics, popular man wherever known
and there is not particle of doubt
that he will be loyal and Jealous in
behalf Of every state and county can
uluale OIL lue party. Inc new secretary
Mr.. Charles w. Phillips. proved his
energy and loyalty to his choice of
candidates during the pre-convention
contest, and he will be equally active
and faithful in the labor of the cam
paign. The executive committee is COM
posed of efficient men who have state
acquaintance and are well posted in
political affairs, and will make a splen-
did record for party service. The
whole committee is harmonious; ma
jority preferred another leader for the
head of the ticket, but the conven-
ton decided otherwise. and Mr.. Cum
minis will have no more loyal and en-
ergetic Supporters than those members
of, the state central Committee. The
commit tee is all right, and II the small
minded critics will keep still, until af-
ter the election, the campaign will be
and the victory the great
est achieved in an exclusively state
election.
