CONGRESSMAN KINKAID ELECTED.
Carries All Counties of the 9Th Dist
rict by About $500.

A letter from Congressman M.
P. kinkaid states that the re-
turns from all Of the counties in
the 9th district give him a ma
jority over Westover Of about
$500. He also states that Bryan
carried his district by about 40'.
This is the strongest possible
evidence of the popularity Of the
Congressman. He has carried
the district by a good majority
in face Of the fact that the
Democratic candidate for presi
dent carried it by over four
hundred votes.
Judge Kinkaid requests that
the REPUBLICAN extend to the
voters Of this county his heart
lest thanks tor the excellent vote
they gave him at the election.

TRAVELLING MAN DIES OF HEART

LEAVES WIFE AND CHILDREN
After Suffering Severe Pains for Half
a Day He Strai ghtens Back In
His Chair at the Grand
Central and Expires.

w. O. Ford of Lincoln died
suddenly at tn Grand Central
Hotel about = p. m. Tuesday.
He had been suffering from heart
disease for about four years and
it was the cause of his death.
Mr.. Ford was troubled with
severe pains soon after dinner
Tuesday and he at first thought
that the pain was in his stomach
and was caused by something he
had eaten. DR.. G. L. Mullins
was called and pronounced it
severe case OF heart trouble.
Ford suffered terribly for two OF
turee hours in spite of all that
the doctor could do.
Ford was PLAYING pitch at the
Grand Central with a couple OF
friends when he died. He sud.
denly Strengthened back in his
chair and expired before the doc

prepared and shipped to Lincoln
on the night train.

County Superintendents' section
discussed the question, "Is there
need for more school legisla.
tion7' AS this subject is of
general interest, a brief resume
of his resume Of recommend
ations may be appropriate.
Mr.. Piuckney urged the con-
tiuuauce and extension of the
plans already adopted in regard
to State Aid for Weak Districts,
and Normal Training, both in
Junior Normals and in High
schools All these measures
were earnestly supported by Mr.
Pinckney as a member Of the
Committee on School Legisla
ton, appointed by the State
Teachers Association two years
ago. He also advocated some
new measures, particularly a
tax on all property in "unorgan-
lied territory" in any county,
for purpose OF paying tuition for
any or all pupils residing in such
territory; also a measure provid-
ing that the Moderator Of any
school district shall be authoriz-
ed to administer the oath to the
Director and Treaurer, when the
oatn is required. Under present
conditions it not unfre quently y
happens that these officers are
compelled to travel ten or twenty
miles to find any person author
lied to administer the oath. Mr..
Pinckney advocated both these
laws two years ago, bu! on ac-
count of the great number OF
school measures introduced, lac
was unable 10 secure for them
the attention they deserved.
However, nearly every one of the
County Superintendent present
at this meeting heartily approx
ed the propositions, aud it seems
very probable that laws to effect
the needed changes will be en-
acted in coming years.

POOL HALL CASE.
Charles Moore of Mason City
Found Not Guilty.

Charles Moore of Mason City
was tried in the county court last
Thursday on the charge of allow
ing boys under eighteen to play
pool in his pool room. The
charge was filed by Jim Smith of
Mason City. The evidence
showed that the son Of James
Amsberry pl yed one game of
pool in the room and then went
out Moore asked the boy before
he began to play if he was
eighteen and the boy NODDED his
head. The next moring after
the boy played the game Moore
asked Mr.. Amsberry if the boy
was eighteen and Mr.. Amsberry
said that he was not and that he
did not want him or his older sor
TO play pool. From that time, a:
the evidence showed, neither ot
the two boys was allowed in the
building by Moore.
The complaint was filed by
Smith on account Of the boz
being allowed TO play this ont
game. The court held that ac
cording to the evidence Moor,
had not violated that section o
the statutes which makes it uu
lawful for a hall manager 10 al
low boys under eighteen to pla.
because the boy told Moore a
the time he played the gam
that he was eighteen aud becaus
Moore kept the boy out of tn
building after he found out tina
he was under eighteen.

ec efforts, in which he was ably
seconded by the local committee,
and other officers of the Associa-
tion.
Able men from different parts
of the United States were in evil
dence as speakers, and were
heard with the most intense
interest Perhaps the one most
annoying feature was the fact
that no audience room could be
found that was large enough TO
contain all who wished to hear.
An innovation was in the man
ner of conducting the banquet"
end the Association. Hereto
fore each of the large colleges
and Normals has had room ana
program all for its own guests.
This year a "Union Banquet"
was held in the great Auditorium
where over one thousand were
seated at the various tables at
one time, while the galleries
were filed by as many more.
After the eatables had been
sufficiently punished a fine lot ol
addresses delighted all hearers.
Conspicuous among the speakers
were Gov. Sheldon and w. J
Bryan, both Of whom were greet
ed with vocilerous applause and
prolonged waving Of handker
chiefs.
Another noteworthy fact wa
the recognition accorded rura
schools, both on the program ant
in the addresses of the principa
speakers, especially in that O
Chancellor Andrews, who made
the country schools the theme o

EXTRA SESSION
. MAY BE CALLED.
GOVERNOR SHELDON CONSIDERS ITS
ADMSABILIrY.
TO ENACT PROHIBITION LAW.
Since the Liquor Interests Will Doubt
less Control the Next Legislature
its Adoption by the Democrats
Seems Improbable.

Lincoln, Nov. ll-Since the re-
suit of the election has shown
that the liquor interests were
able to carry the day and will in
al! probability have control of the
next Legislature and the State
executive, the Governor has been
seriously considering the question
Of calling special session of the
Legislature to pass prohibition
law. He has sent out telegram
to all of the members of the last
Legislature asking them if they
will vote for statewide prohibit
tion law which will reserve to
any municipalities the right by
three-hfths vote to suspend it
and dispefse liquor under such
restrictions as may be provided
By law. This telegram was sent
out by the Governor Monday and
he has not received suffi cient
number of responses for him to be
able to decide whether he will
CT II an extra session.
A number Of the mem bers have
moved from their district, re-
signed their seats, or died and
this must be taken into account
III calculating the result in case
the special session should be
lcalled. There is some indication
that the Democratic Legislature
might attempt to repreal the law
in case that special session was
called to pass it. hey will have
sufficient votes in the Senate to
repeal it but it is doubtful if
they could carry the House OF
Representatives. Some members
of the Legislature who have re.
piled to the Governor have con-
demned the idea of calling the
Especial session. The Lincoln
Daily Star and the Omaha Bee
have in their editorial columns
taken a stand against calling the
special session. The following
clippings are taken from the Bee
t and the Star,
: Omaha Bee. Some of Cover
nor Sheldon's advisers are try
ing to persuade him to conven,
S the outgoing legislature at ono,
E in special session to enact som
: sort of spite law against tn
e liquor interests.
D Although Anti Saloon leagu
) fiocers, themselves, did everythin,
t they could to beat Governor Shel
= don in the recent election, tn
governor is being urged to believ
q that the saloons alone are res
u ponsible and should be made
suffer punishment. The actio
of Governor Hanley in convenin
the Legislature of Indiana to pr
y a county option law on the sta
D. ute books like wise is cited as a
J. example for Governor Sheldon

ID Instead Of yielding to the in
l. pulse of the moment, we wou
T advise Governor Sheldon to a
as proach this whole subject with
II cool head and dispassona
r mind.

plated by the constitution to jus
tify special session of the legis-
lature? This same legislature
was in session for three months
last year, but did not see fit to
pass any bill along the lines now
proposed. From the time of its
adjournment Governor Sheldon
has had year and half during
which he could have called the
Legislature together for this pnr-
pose, but saw no necessity for 1t.
The people of Nebraska have
just chosen new Legislature fol
the express purpose of dealing
with these questions. The new
Legislature will convene within h
few weaks with a largely prepon-
derant Democratic majority and
by the mandate of the recent cleo
tion the people Of Nebraska de-
clared that they want this Demo
cratic Legislature to assume res.
possibility.
Under such circu mstanc we
do not see what Governor Shell
don, or the Republican party in
Nebraska, has to gain by jump
ing into the breach at this mo.
ment to anticipate the work of
che newly elected legislature,
Lincoln Star.--The report that
Governor Sheldon may call
special session of the old legisla-
ture to deal with the liquor ques-
tion has stirred up great deal
of talk. We do not believe that
the Governor will do anything of
the kind, for several good reasons
which must occur TO him.
Governor Sheldon is not sore
over his defeat since it was
brought about by concurrence of
events which does not reflect on
him or his popularity, for he 10
conceded to be the most popular
Governor that the state has had
for many years. Nor is. he going.
to be moved by a spirit OF re-
venge. He is not that kind.
Among the reasons we may
note that the old Legislature has
practically superseded and the
men just elected to the honse and
senate are supposed to represent
the present will of the people bet
ter than would the old body.
Again, it is not certain what
action the extra session would
take and any action would be cer-
tain to bring down the wrath of
one side or the other on the Gov
ernor and his party. He and his
party would have everything to
lose and nothing to win by such
action. 1t would please the in
coming Legislature and the DEM
ocratic party only too we'll for
the old Legislature to "bell the
cat" 1t would make plain sail
ing for the Democrats for the
next two years for the party that
tackles the liquor question is sure
, to break into two pieces and suf.
! fer for it. 1t would therefore be
bad politics for Governor Sheldon
: and the Republicans to do thi.
: job for the Democrats.
If any action by special ses
= sion would give the country res
on this vexed question il nigh
he heroic and patriotic in tn,
| Governor to sacrifice himself and
party, but no action taken by al
" extra session will end the ngits
y ton. If state prohibition o
county option is enacted, the wa
