the kind We want in ONCE.

could hardly bring out a more able and
creditable candidate, and they have a lot
hof good men out there. Mr.. Black Is an
educated man and a good lawyer, as we'll
as a highly respected citizen. He would
make a good governor.

Blair Pilot: The mention Of Hon. w D.
Haller's name as a candidate for lieutenant
governor OF Nebraska is a good one and
brings to the front the name OF a man who
In public life has been a staunch friend Of
the taxpayers. The Pilot has faith in Mr..
Hsller's integrity and believes that Mr.. Hal

lieutenant governor, would much strengthen
the ticket. His work in the legislature is
still well remembered, and during his long
public service no man has ever had cause
to question his acts.

many old friends in this county who are
staunch supporters of his candidacy for

ably an able, energetic and fearless man,
who If nominated and elected would bring
to the executive branch of the state gov
eminent the, stamina that would make him
governor in fact as we'll as in name. Pres
ent indications are that Cedar county will
lie in the Robertson column with thirteen
enthusiastic supporters.
