Ready for Battle at Sea

Wanted--l0000 civilians to qualify

serve.
This is one of Uncle Sans new
preparedness moves and in order to
see that Nebraska gets the opportu-
nifty of sending its full quota OF men
Leonard W.. Trester of Lincoln has
been appointed by the Navy depart
ment as chairman of the Nebraska en-
rollment district.
Civilians who take up the training
are required to pay their own ex-
penses (about 500 However. just
as soon as the civilians qualify as
naval reservists they get small re-
tainer and their expenses are there
after paid by the government.
Civilians who apply for training
are under no obligation to enroll IN
the naval reserve upon completing
their training.
The Navy department is to cs-
tablish training camps at Newport,
San Francisco, Chicago and Norfolk.
where civilians will be drilled for one
month in the same manner as regu-
lar recruits for the navy.
Nebraskans desiring to take the
training can get further information

Dewey Denies All
Charges in Suit
OF Charles Kelpin

County Clerk Frank Dewey has
filed special appearance with the
clerk Of the county court, answering
the election contest suit instituted by
Charles Kelpin, defeated candidate
for the office, and denying every allie.
CATION made in the latter's petition Of
1875 pages. -,
The Formally OF a hearing will
probably be followed by counting
of votes cast in the November cleo
ton. The county clerk defeated Mr..
Kelpin by majority of 2,289 votes.
The unsuccessful candidate started
contest proceedings several weeks
ago.
Clyde Sundblad, clerk of the county
court, heaved big sigh-not Of re-
lief-when it became practically a
certainty that the suit will come
to a complete recount Of the votes
Mr.. Sundblad has recounted the votes
in twenty-five contest suits. He said
that out of the entire twenty-five moi
single one of the parties bringing
the suits was successful.
The closest contest in the history
of Mr.. Sundblad's connection with
the county court was that OF I. o
Lobeck against Henry Mcdonald in
1902. Mr.. Mcdonald defeated Mr.
Lobcck by one vote. When the bal
lots were rccounted it was found thai
Mr.. Mcdonald had majority Of
thirty-one votes.
