REPUBLICAN III FOR TREASURER
In the candidacy of George A. Newman for county
treasurer, the voters of Delaware county are given a chance
to approve faithful, honest and efficient service.
The people of the county demand, first OF all and
above everything else, that the men to whose hands the
affairs of the county are confded should be capable, trust.
worthy and efficient. The ordinary voter who had a COM
petent, experienced and trained employee in his service
would not think of discharging him for political reasons.
Such an enploye would be more valuable to aim than any
= inexperienced man, however excellent in other respects,
could possibly be. 1t is on this basis and for these reasons
that Mr.. Newman seeks reelection.
ONE FACTS FOR~THE VOTER TO CONSIDER
The voter should remember that or. next Tuesday he
will hire a man to handle the office of county treasurer and
account for the tremendous sums of money in the county
treasury. The question is-does the, voter want a man
for this work who is trained in it's duties, thoroughly ia
miliar with the finances of the county and capable of hand
ling the work with a minimum of mistakes and annoying de-
lays? -
If the voter believes that faithful service should be
the first thing to consider in the countys business, as well
as in private business, he should remember that
l.. During the time that Mr.. Newman has been in
charge of the treasurers office every penny Of the hundreds
of thousands of dollars turned into the treasury has been
fully accounted for and properly apportioned.
& 2. The state examiners sent here to inquire into
the conduct of the county offices declared that the admir-
able manner in which the accounts in the treasurer's Of
flee were kept greatly facilitated their work, and it is a
fact that they completed their inspection here in three
weeks, whereas in many counties Of this size they have been
obliged to consume six weeks. This, in itself, was a big
saving in expense to the county.
3. Bankers, lawyers, real estate men, farmers and
others having business with the treasureris office unite in
declaring that the accounts are kept in a most thorough and
accurate manner, the books always brought down to date
and every cent of money received or paid out carefully &C
counted for. p - - -:. I
LET EFFICIENCY, NOT POLITICS, DECIDE
Under these circumstances, what has the voter to
gain by dispacing a tried, competent official, one who knows
his business, who is familiar with all Of the intrcacies of tax
questions, and who is known to be- one of the most. capable
officials ever elected to office in the county? What the
taxpayer wants is good service. He is paying for it and he
is entitled to have it. Treasurer Newman discharges his
duty obigingly and with the utmost fidelity, and he, seeks re-
election on his record for efficient management of the i'm
portant office he holds.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR SHERIFF
AS it is manifestly impossible for a anddate in a
county the size of Delaware to interview personally all of
the voters, l take this method of requesting the support
and influence of the voters of the county as the nominee
of the republican party for sheriff at the general election
to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 1914.
LIFELONG RESIDENT OF DELAWARE COUNTY
TO such of the. voters as l may not have the pleas
ua of knowing personally I will say that I was born and
reared on the home farm near Greeley, and with the excep-
tion of several years spent in college at Fayette, at Upper
Iowa university, I have lived in the county all of my life.
Recently I disposed of my farm and moved to the town of
Greeley, where l now reside.
SHERIFF HAS RESPONSIBLE POSITION )
The office of sheriff is a responsible one, requiring
fidelity to its duties, familiarity with the county and it's
people and a desire to do more than merely hold the office.
do not want anybody to vote for me unless he believes that
| can meet these requirements, and if elected j. can assure
the people of the county that I will give the best service that
it is in my power to give. l have no critical or unkind word
TO say OF my opponent, for we are both conducting clean
campaigns, free from personalities, and l solicit your sup
port solely on the basis of service and fidelity to the du-
ties of the office. . - -"
Despite the fact that this is strong republican coun-
w. Tor the past few years the republicans have lost the
sheriff through failure to stand together. My candidacy
is not a fractional one, and I appeal to every republican in
the county for support as the regular nominee Of the party.
My candidacy is free from entanglements, promises or any
thing Of that sort, and if elected it will be my purpose to
serve men of all parties impartially. 1 will be grateful for
such assistance as my friends can give me on election day,
and I assure them that if chosen sheriff l will administer
the affairs of the office as carefully and conscientiously as
I possibly can. wa. ss ~,

Sir Horace Plunkett Fears Pas
sage of Home Rule Bill.

London. Feb i0.-Sr Horace Plunkett
noted for his advocacy OF agricultural CO.
operation and technical educal lion. and
whose opinion in irish matters carries
great weight with all parties outlines in
The Daily Mail novel plan for set
ling the Ulster problem. which will en-
gage the attention OF Parliament when IT
opens tomorrow. lie is firmly Of the
opinion that the passage OF the Home
Rule bill a. II stands will lead 10 serious
scctarian riots. perhaps 70 civil war IN
Ulster and 70 avert such a disaster he
proposes that the Ulster Unionists should
accept the bill upon three conditions:
First that a clause should be inserted
enabling II 10 be decided By pleDisclt'
after certain number Of years whether
any section OF Ulster desired TO continue
subject 10 the Irish Parliament.
Second. that both sections OF lr.shmen
should be invited TO suggest Ia the GOV
eminent any amendments which could be
incorporated in the bill by consent.
Third. that the Ulster volunteers should
have an opportunity 10 become Organized
as territorial force. with the double
object % adding valuable body 10 the
nations defensive forces and preserving
intact for the Ulster Unionists an uti-
mate safeguard on which. rightly or
wrongly. they can rely Tor the preserva-
ton OF their liberties.
Sir Horace contends that acceptance OF
this scheme would furnish valuable ex-
periment for the various sides in the
Home Rule difficulty.

against her continued imprisonment the

WHITE STAR LOSES
TITANIC APPEAL
High English Court Holds Illegal
Clause on Ticket Exempting
from Liability.

London. Feb. a.-The Court OF Appeal to-
day sustained the decision OF the Kings
Bench Court. which i'm test case brought
last June by an Irish farmer. claiming
damages for tho loss OF his son in the
Titanic disaster. declared Illegal the
CLAUSE printed on tho steamship tickets
exompting the company from liability for
loss by = passenger even through negli-
gence Of the company's servants.
The judgment OF the Court Of Appeal. In
dismissing the appeal or the White Star
Steamship Company from that decision.
was delivered by Lord Justice Sir Roland
Vaughan Williams. who declared that
practice did not Justify a vessel in main
tanning her course and speed when the
warnings Of dangers ahead were such as
tho Titanic received. The only answer
ne said. which the owners OF the Titanic
could give 10 the charge Of negligent nsVi-
cation in proceeding at fun speed in the
circumstances preceding the disaster WAS
that this was the custom Of steamers
crossing the Atlantic under the most
skilled navigators. Expert witnesses had
undoubtedly shown that such was the
practice on the other hand, there was
expert evidence that under conditions ex-
>tremoly hazardous prudent navigator
was justified in departing from the gen
eral practice.
Considering the circumstances under
which the Titanic was lost the Lord Jus
tice said
Whether the occasion was such as 10
require departure from the general prac-
tice was n question for the jury 10 de-
eide. The duty Of those navigating ship
IS TO use reasonable care. II was for the
jury to find whether there had been fail
ure to perform this duty. II the jury had
before il evidence upon which IL might
reasonably conclude there was such fail
ure, the verdict cannot he disturbed To
my mind. il is impossible 10 say that in
the present case there was no evidence
upon which the jury might find as il did
that there had been negligence"
