Mccarthy, but rather because Judge
Boyd in his many visits to Pierce coun-
ty in years past as district judge has
become very popular He has a close
and intimate acquaintance with nearly
every voter in the county and has the
highest esteem of all. We have never
heard a republican in this county speak
disrespectfully of Congressman Nc
Carthy or complain of his not doing
his duty in Washington. In fact many
have heartily commended him for do

that was lost sight of in their enthusi-
asm for their old friend and neighbor,

A Good Selection.

Nebraska Politician: In the nomi-
nation of Judge J. f. Boyd of Neigh
as the republican candidate for con
gress in the Third district, the party
has made selection which will assist
In increasing the majority this fall.
The district convention held at Ere.
mont Thursday turned down by most
decisive vote Congressman J. j. Nc
Carthy's request for a denomination
and designated the Neigh man as the
standard bearer in the battle this fall.
Judge Boyd is one of the most popular
men in the Third district His popu-
larity is not confined to any particular
section of the district, but Is general.
AS a member of the district judiciary
Judge Boyd has made a record which
his successor on the bench will have
to work hard to equal. The nomina.
tion of Judge Boyd was brought about
through a feeling of general dissatis-
faction over the district with the way
in which Congressman Mccarthy has
looked after the interests of the dis
trict. Mr.. Mccarthy has not been as
successful in securing appropriations
for the district as was desired. His
desertion of w. N. Huse of The Nor
folk News when the latter was being
sued for libelous publication made
in support of Mccarthy, had much to
do with turning sentiment against the
congressman and the leading newspa-
pers of the district were quick to take
up the cause of Huse and demand Nc
Carthy's retirement. In nominating
Boyd to succeed Mccarthy the repub-
licans of the district have selected a
man who will work tirelessly for their
interests and who is bound to be rec
ognized down at Washington. He is
one of those men whom the district
can afford to keep in congress for
many years.

Mccarthy Was Disappointed.

Fremont correspondence to Omaha
World-Herald: Mccarthy was greatly
disappointed, as he went into the con-
vention with what he supposed was a
sufficient number of votes to have
made his nomination only a matter of
form.
Boyd and his workers were very
active. Before the convention they
had determined to beat Mccarthy, and
made a canvass of the district. Be
cause some of the delegates on the
Brown ticket at North Bend were ia
vorable to Mccarthy the town conven-
ton went against the attorney general,
Editor Huse of Norfolk had claimed
Mccarthy broke faith with him, bit
terly fought him, and the editor WELD
ed influence in his part of the district
against Mccarthy.
There was no fight on the conven-
tion floor-the Boyd trick was turned
too quickly.
The candidates, w. w. Young of
Stanton, in addition to Mccarthy and
Boyd, were called before the conven-
tion. Boyd said he had been very ac-
tive. Mccarthy admitted his disap-
pointment, and joined with Young in
saying he would support the ticket

HuSe's Victory,

Hastings Tribune: BY defeating j..
j. Mccarthy for denomination to rep
resent the Third district of Nebraska
in the lower house of the United
States congress, W. n. Huse, who is
editor of The Norfolk News, won a
splendid victory.
Mccarthy made the mistake that so
many men make-that of underesti-
mating the other mans strength.
When Honorable J. ]. Mccarthy ran
for congress two years ago Editor
Huse published an article in his paper
which denounced in the most emphatic
terms McCarthy's opponent. The ar
ticle was furnished by the chairman of
the republican county central commit
tee who informed Mr.. Huse that Nc
Carthy requested the publication of
the story and that he would vouch for
its truthfulness. At first Huse refused
to give the article publication, and iC
was not until the strongest kind of
pressure was brought to bear that he
consented. The article was published,
Mccarthy was elected - and Editor
Huse had $4,000 damage suit on his
hands.
What did Mccarthy do?
Nothing.
When he was notified of the suit
that had been started against Huse he
put on a bold front and wanted to
it-or words to that effect. And that
was all he did have to do with it. He
left Huse to face that damage suit
alone.
Huse faced the damage suit and
fixed it up. Then he turned his atten-
tion to Mccarthy and his campaign,
When Huse announced in his paper
his intentions of defeating Mccarthy,
and gave his reasons for doing so
there were some politicians who
smiled and said that Huse was only
wasting good advertising space in his
valuable journal. They figured that by
virtue of his Office Mccarthy would
have the party organization back of
him, including every pos m S r
throughout the Third district.
1t did look a little dubious for Huse;
but not for one minute did he lose
courage, Every day he talked to the
people through the columns of his pa
per, and all that he said was the plain
truth, without frils or tlourishes. The
people knew him, they listened TO him,
and they believed him. That was enough

CONGRATULATIONS.

Middletown, N. Y, Aug. 20.-W N.
Huse, Norfolk Neb.-Dear Sir: Be
cause of gross ingratitude shown you
by Congressman Mccarthy, | have
been greatly interested in the matter
whether Mccarthy would again be
nominated. To me it has been won
der why you have been so lenient with
him in showing him up as he deserved,
since the mills of the gods grind slow
but grind exceedingly fine" which en-
phasizes what you say in the editorial
headed THE News Has Been Fair"
Concerning an migrate nothing more
detestable does the earth produce than
an ungrateful man." If you have half
a chance of winning in a legal action
against Mccarthy growing out of the
libel suit brought against you and for
which he, as | understand it, was re-
sponsible, or should have been party
in defense of said libel, | wish you
would begin action against him. You
owe it, it seems to me, to your friends
who have stood by you, to endeavor
to recover what expense you were put
to in defending Mccarthy.
| beg to reiterate, the best editorial
and newspaper for a country issue
have ever seen is The Daily News.
Success to you.
Yours most sincerely,
S. W. Corwin.

Machine Men Sneered,

Battle Creek Enterprise (before con-
vention): While many of the machine
republicans Of the Third district may
have sneered at the efforts made by
w. N. Huse of The Norfolk News to
defeat Congressman Mccarthy for re-
nomination, it is a self evident fact
that Mr.. Huse has succeeded in doing
what he started out to do. Dodge
county, supposed at one time to be
solid for Mccarthy, refused to endorse
his candidacy and it now looks like
Judge Boyd will receive the nomina-
tion on the first ballot. SO far as re-
publican newspapers are concerned,
The News has made the fight single
handed and in the results the publish
er must find great satisfaction.

There Was Trouble.

Omaha Daily News: Congressman
Mccarthy was defeated in his fight for
the congressional nomination yester.
day from the Third district and Judge
Boyd of Neigh was pushed through on
the first ballot 129 to 1913.
Mccarthy had expected to carry the
convention without any trouble, but
there was no fight on the floor.
The Boyd men had been very active
and made a canvass of the district be-
fore the opening.
Prominent among the fighters against
Mccarthy was Editor Huse of Nor
folk, who claims that Mccarthy broke
faith with him.
The third candidate was w. w.
Young of Stanton.

Wayne Democrat: At the congress

terday Judge j. F. Boyd was nominat-

defeating Congressman Mccarthy by
a vote or two. The fight will now be
between the two judges, Boyd and

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
McCarthys' Defeat.


Lincoln Star: The bright light
which is suffusing that part of Nebras.
ka of which Norfolk is the hub is moth.
ing more nor less than the smile of
the face Of w. ~ Huse, of The Norfolk
News. The News probably could claim
and deserve more credit for the defeat
Of Congressman Mccarthy at the con
vention in Fremont than any other
factor in the fight which resulted in
victory for Judge Boyd.
The bitter opposition of Huse was
the result of an alleged wrong on the
part of Mccarthy, that wrong being
one of the most monumental sins--in-
gratitude 1t happened that in another
campaign, when Mccarthy was run.
ming for congress and Huse was sup.
porting him, The Norfolk News and
another newspaper in the district
printed at McCarthys request and in
his behalf, an article which was given
a libelous construction by the courts.
Huse and the other editor were
stuck" for damages and, it is alleged,
Mccarthy, the real beneficiary of the
costly publication, failed to bear a
portion of the penalty paid by the pub
fishers for printing that which might
better have been left out of their col
umns.
Leaving out of consideration the
merits of Huse's defense and the ques-
tion of whether or not he was justified
in publishing the article which caused
the trouble, the fact remains that trou-
BILE came and, according to Huse, Nc
Carthy failed to step up and take his
dose of the medicine.
Indignation on the part Of Huse fol-
lowed this evidence of ingratitude.
He believed that man who had acted
in that way should not be sent back
to congress, and he told the people of
his county all about it in pretty strong
terms, bringing in a few other issues
which had more or less effect.
Newspapers are so often the victims
of the publishers of Nebraska to know
that one thoughtless man has learned
a lesson he will not soon forget. The
average politician thinks the newspaper
was created for his special benefit, to
be used as he would direct and when
ever he gives command. The man
who would not think of asking the
publisher to print a free notice about
his hardware store expects a column
of compliments when he decides to run
for the legislature and is offended
when the space is not given. And
when newspaper, particularly the So
called country newspaper, has wasted
it's space, its time, money and energy
in promoting the cause of a home can
didate. how often is it that the fellow,
after his election, even thinks of going
to his editor and thanking him for the
service he has rendered?
The ingratitude of which Mr. Huse
complains is notable case in itself.
But it does not stand alone. Probably
every editor in Nebraska knows how
ungrateful most office-seekers are, how
forgetful they are, how ''nervy" in ex-
quantities, that which to the editor is
the equivalent of cash.
Newspapers have as one of their
prime purposes the support of partic-
ular principles, such support to be
given without price. But the average
politician appears to believe that the
newspaper was created for the purpose
of boosting him into office, the editor
to be passed without sign of recogni-
ton after election day.
