Week Spent in Rock, Boyd,
Keya Paha and Holt Coun-
ties Shows How Public
Sentiment Trends.
By HARRY o. PALMER.

Campaigning with Moses P. Kin
kaid and John L. Kennedy is always
refreshing and has from the beginning
been interesting to me, but l want to
say that it sometimes becomes pretty
strenuous. Since the first week in
September l have been following in
the foot steps OF statesmen, gather
ing data from the different commune
ties visited as to the condition OF the
public pulse, and at the same time in
forming myself as to the needs of Ne
braska. During this time have spent
some very interesting and instructive
hours with Congressman Moses P.
Kinkaid and John L. Kennedy, repub-
1ican candidate for United States SEN
ator.
Last week we have visited Boyd,
Keya Paha, Rock and Holt counties,
and now feel safe in prognosticating
that Moses P Kinkaid will be re-
elected from the Sixth district. Some
days ago ! read aloud, from an
Omaha paper, bit of political gossip
to the effect that some young fellow
out at kearney was going to give Mr.
Kinkaid "a merry run for his political
life. This happened i'll a barber shop.
The barber was then shaving Kin
kaider who laughed outright with such
violence that he almost lost his life in
the chair. would suggest that these
humorous bits of democratic political
bunk are dangerous to life and limb
and should be used only with abun-
dant caution. Kennedy and Kinkaid"
is the slogan of the Sixth district re-
publicans. They tell me that they
want man like John L. Kennedy TO
cooperate with Mr.. Kinkaid in the
great work that can be done for the
Sixth district at Washington.

distances, sure enough. | am writing

serving that the voters are not as
numerous here, as elsewhere in the
state, | asked Mr.. Kennedy why he
was spending so much time here. He
quickly put me right on this, saying,
1T is my opinion that too many men
have pretended to represent state or
a district without being familiar with
its needs and possibilities. Before this
campaign is over | am going to know

Germany to Protest
The Use of Tank Cars

London, Sept. 24.-An Exchange
