KENNEDY SPEAKS At
NORTH FAIR
Republican Candidate for Sen
ator Discusses Rights and
Duties of Citizens.
G.. S. THOMPSON PREsIDEs

North Platte, Neb. Sept, 80
Especial. )-"America, my own coun-
try first, last and all the time" and a
governmental policy of protecting
American citizens Z wherever they
happen to be, was the theme of a
speech delivered at the Lincoln coun-
ty fair here today before the largest
and finest county fair crowd that ever
gathered in western Nebraska by
John L. Kennedy OF Omaha, repub-
1ican candidate for United States
senator.
Mr.. Kennedy emphasized the i'm
portance OF understanding that be-
tween government and citizen there
exist mutual and reciprocal rights and
duties. 1t was John l.. Kennedy
who, when a congressman from the
First district of Nebraska, introduced
into the naturalization law, by
amendment of the law at that time,
a provision making language quail
ifcaion take the place OF the literacy
test. Under the naturalization law
as amended it became necessary for
each foreign born person to learn the
English language before he could be-
come citizen. Under the literacy
test many OF Mr.. Kennedy's con-
stituents, who could neither read nor
write would have been disqualified.
Common Language Necessary.
1t was and still is Mr.. Kennedy's
idea that because OF the many dit
ferent countries from which America
draws its population it was impossl-
bic to have a common blood but that
it was therefore the more important
to have common tongue. His
amendment provided for this and to-
day the foreign born coming Ameri-
cans are in night schools everywhere
learning the English language to
comply with the naturalization law
This one bit of legislation has lent
more impetus to amalgamatlon OF our
adverse citizenship than any other
one act.
Although Mr.. Kennedy's speech
was for the most part nonpartlsan
and dealt with patriotic questions, he
was roundly applauded when ne made
mention of the tariff and the hardship
it worked on the Nebraska farmer
by, keeping his products on the free
list while the products of the south
are protected by protective tariff.
1t was Mr.. Kennedy's view that a
good thing ought to be given to all
parts of the United States and not
restricted in its operation to the ia
vored states OF the south.
Chairman Thompson Presides.
Mr.. Kennedy was introduced by G..
S. Thompson Of Hershey, chairman
of the Lincoln county republican CEN
trail committee, and near his auto
.mobile>while speaking stood S. M.
Souder, A. P. Kelly, A. J. Salisbury
and numerous other prominent re-
publicans of North Platte. He left

May Refuse Fund
Offered by County

Will the Douglas County Agricul-
tural society accept the appropriation
of the county commissioners after de-
ducting >$2,93060 under the law de-
clared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court
Secretary John McArdle said 1--WE
will refuse to take it,"
President Ed Agee said: We'll
think it over"
The county commissioners have
passed an appropriation of $3,l45.40
for the agricultural society. Accord
ing to the law that provides an ap-
preparation of 5 cents per capita pop
ulation Of the county, the association
is entitled to 5000.
When the Scent appropriation was
increased to 5 cents in 1912, the ques-
ton was threshed out and the Scent
award upheld by district court. The
matter was appealed to the supreme
court by Attorney Ed P. Smith as a
tax payer and the decision reversed.
The Scent appropriation is now eff
fective, according to the county COM
missioners. The agricultural asso-
citation claims the Scent pot.
