man OF commanding presence. popular manners, win

In another place in today's Commercial Advertiser
we have the pleasure Of publishing the announcement
card Of Elmer U. Overman Of this city, who therein
announces himself to the public as a candidate for
judge Of the district court for the Tenth judicial dis
trict, comprising Adams, Webster, Franklin, Harlan,
Phelps and Kearney counties. He has practiced law
for more than seventeen years, and his practice, while
extensive in this locality, has also been extensive in
and out Of the state. He has been very successful in
his business career. He has also filled the office Of
county attorney in this state and in Illinois, and is in
every way eminently qualified 10 hold the important
position. He has not been mixed up with railroads
and corporations, and upon the whole, is a clean, able
lawyer, such a one as is needed upon the bench, a man
who will be fair and impartial in his rulings, If nom
mated and elected. We believe the people want that
kind OF a man, and in Mr.. Overman they would find
that kind. We hope to see him nominated and elected.
The Red CHond CHIEF, Wt6Ster eonny.-The Chief
is pleased to announce in this issue to the voters Of the
Tenth judicial district Of Nebraska that E. u. Over
man Of Red Cloud will be a candidate for district judge.
The Chief can heartily commend Mr.. Overman TO the
voters OF the district for their favorable action at the
primaries in September, knowing as we do his WORTH
ness and qualifications. For seventeen years he has
been an able and honorable practitioner enjoying the
full confidence OF his clients and an extensive practice
such as few lawyers enjoy in this part Of the state.
Never depending for success on what is called by
lawyers, sharp practice. but being well learned and
possessing a fine legal mind, he has demonstrated that
he possesses the analytical and judicial mind required
by a man to fit him for the high position Of district
Judge. His splendid record as county attorney fthis
county for two terms. during which time rs success
fully conducted some Of the most important civil and
criminal cases the county has ever had, brought the
people Of this county to regard him as a lawyer Of
great skill and ability. He stands in this county above
suspicion as a gentleman Of highest character. He Is
absolutely free from corporation influence. No man
or set Of men or corporation Of any kind on earth has
any strings on him.
The Red Cloud Nation, Webster county Cnsion).-
Attorney E. U. Overman Of this city is a candidate for
the nomination for district Judge before the republican
voters in September. II is Webster county's turn at
the bench, and the Nation would be pleased TO see a
Webster county man get the office, even though he be
a republican. Mr.. Overman made Webster county a
good county attorney for four years, and, no doubt,
would fill the office of district Judge Of this Tenth ju-
dicial district with credit to himself and the district.
II the Nation we're a republican II would be pleased to
support him. The only fault we can find with him is
his political views. The republicans can do no better
than nominate him.
