LINCOLN, Oct 90 Especial )-Chairman
Kefer and those others who have been
working at the republican state headquar-
ters at the close of business tonight were
In high spirits and were satisfied the vic
tory has been won and the state of Ne
braska will continue in the republican ma
tional and state column.
To the last strong pull altogether the
party workers over the state have re-
sponded nobly and the result has been felt
in the state headquarters. But there Will
be no let up until the last vote is polled.
The efforts of the democrats to deceive
the people about the valuation Of farm
lands has had no effect. The publication
of the records with which the officials in
every county i'm Nebraska are familiar,
blasted all hope the democrats may have
had in deceiving enough of the voters to
cut any ice.
The fact that the assessment of lands
was made by the county assessors and
then the valuation cut down over 100000 by
the state board is too we'll known to the
people for the democrats to fool them.
The democrats are flooding the state with
this deceptive literature, but 1t is having
no effect. The owners Of the farms in Ne
braska know their value. They know also
]
they would. reduce this valuation. They
know the democrats If they kept their
oaths II elected would have to obey the
| statutes and the constitution. Democrats
cannot make an assessment of real estate
| In advance even though they pretend to be
able to do this.
! The fact that the people know more about
| the que stion Of taxation than the publicity
] agents of the democrats prevents any dan
! ger from the deception
Miller Tries to Fool Voters.
j. e. Miller is advertising in the State
! Journal that he was nominated at the re-

| he invites the votes of all the people who
believe he is qualified for the position.
Mr.. Miller i'm his Journal advertisement
does not say he was nominated at the demo
/ cratic primary He is a democratic nOmi
| nee. He does not say that the democratic
party I'm the last legislature opposed al
! the legislation enacted by the last republi.
can legislature Mr.. Miller does not say
that a vote against the republican legisla
/ tive ticket is a vote against the laws en-
acted two years ago.
| Not one word of this does Mr.. Miller say
| He does not even admit that he Is tn,
! democratic nominee I'm that Journal adver
tisement So far as Mr.. Miller's informa
tion goes in that advertisement he Nigh

I the democratic nominee and the republican
who votes for him as a republican is simply
| deceived.
Ward Boundaries Changed.
Until the vote is counted In Lincoln OF
! election night It will be practically impos
sible TO estimate the vote the various can
dldates have received. This is due to In,
fact that since the election the city ha
been redistricted and therefore there can b,
no comparison OF votes. Every ward lin,
and every precinct Line has been changed
so there Is nothing with which 10 compar,
the early returns except the registration.
In the country districts, Of course, IA,
lines have not been changed and comparl
| sons can be made.
