York, Neb., Feb 29-That Nebraska
socialists, who open their state con-
vention in the armory here today, will
insert at least three new and vital
planks in the platform, is the state
ment of delegates who arrived last
night. The first of these, they say,
will be the announcement of the
method whereby the state is selling its
water rights along Nebraska rivers
for a mere filing fee. They believe
the state should withhold all water
rights from private concerns.
If gossip counts for aught, the COM
mission form of government will be
bitterly denounced. The socialists
claim it is not a representative gov
eminent. State insurance, it is be-
lieved will be favored and made a
part of the platform. The plan pro-
vides for the insurance of all property
with the state Nebraska's three So
CialiSt mayors are among the dele
gates. They are: layers Griffin, Be-
atrice; s. w Foe, Red Cloud II. II.
Mauck, Wymore. The entire work of
the convention will be taken up with
the framing of a platform. No out
side speakers will be present.

ness and more security in their ma

Should Endorse County Ticket

We believe that the only fair and
just thing that the Progressive Party
can do in Highland county is to en-
dorse the Republican county ticket
Every man on that ticket was fairly
and honestly nominated at the pri.
mary in May. At this primary Col.
Roosevelt carried the county by 220,
the candidates on the Republican
ticket thus being nominated by the
progressives of the county. The pro-
gressives having been largely instru-
mental in nominating these men
should make them their candidates
This is on ordinary fairness.
One of the basic principles of the
Progressive Party also is the election
to office of competent, efficient and
honest men. This being true the
candidates on the Republican county
ticket should be endorsed, as you could
not find a cleaner and more capable
set of men, most of whom have shown
that they are thoroughly qualified to
fill the offices for which they aspire.
When you have been shown that you
have a good man working for you, it
would be foolish to discharge him. A
real progressive must first be for the
square deal and for honest, capable
and efficient conduct of public business
and therefore should support the Re-
publican candidates for county Offices

The County Ticket.

Whatever may be the result of the
political trouble in national or state
affairs it should not be allowed to
enter into our county affairs. We can
not remember when ticket was ever
presented to the people of Highland
county that more thoroughly deserved
to be elected than the Republican
county ticket this fall.
1t is our pleasure and our good
fortune to know every man on it per-
sonally.- Six of these, W. A. Teter,
John S, Faris j, Ed, Shannon, Carey
-" - - -. ,..I A &. CockeTill
Long, Is. ". Fratt auu SAA'-
have proved their worth in the OFFICES
to which they aspire.
Without fear of dispute by any one
who has been conversant with the
conduct of the auditors office in the
last twenty years, we state that W..
A. Teter is the most competent Official
that has held that Office during that
time, We say this without any inten-
ton of casting any reflection on any
of his predecessors, but because 1t is
. Justly due Mr.. Teter 1t is not every
man that is qualified and fitted for
the office of auditor. 1t requires both
a clerical and executive officer. The
auditors office is really the clearing
house of all county business. The
business of all the other offices passes
through 1t at some time. The neces
sity for accuracy, the necessity To-
system, the necessity for a man wh'
can grasp and understand all OF tn,
different details Of the many ant
diverse interests of the county, th'
necessity for man who can keep al
of these different interests from be
coming tangled is greater in the audi
tors Office than in any other count
office. Mr.. Teter seems to combine
remarkable degree all OF the quail
ties necessary for the competent an
able performance of all the duties
the auditors office. If the people {
Highland county appreciate etficier
and honest service they will re'ele'
