COUNTY BOARDS
RAISED VALUES
over The STATE
Fifteen Counties Reporting
Show Need of More Money,
but Higher Valuation
Cuts State Levy.
(From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Oct. 30-(Special. ITO
county boards and county assessors
is due the credit for the lower levy
for state purposes made by the
State Board of Assessment, which
the democratic candidate for gov
ernor and other state officers have
been claiming all their own.
This is shown by reports from IS
counties of the state reaching the
office of the secretary of the State
Board of Assessment. In these, the
amount of taxes needed to run these
counties is in every instance more in
1918 than it was in 1917. 1t shows
that the increase in>-these IS coun-
ties this year is $454,395.
However, on the face of the fig
ures showing the amount of taxes
due the state from each county, II
of these counties show lower
amount. This is because the county
assessors and county boards made
the total valuation of the state $40
100000 more NJ 1918 than it was in
1917, and together with the large in
crease in automobile and corpora
ton fees coming into the office of
the secretary of state and other de-
partments of the state, the state levy
could be correspondingly lower.
This effectually stiles the con-
troversy whether the state board is
entitled to all the credit, if any, for

Stephens Agitated
Over Record Of Vote
On Soldiers Pay
From a Staff Correspondent.


Lincoln, Oct. 50.-(Special) y
Congressman Dan Stephens, demo
cratic nominee for reelection to
congress in the Third district. is
deeply agitated because the repub-
lican congressional committee there
is publishing his record.
In some instances it is reported
by newspaper publishers who re-
ceived the matter, that Mr.. Stephens
threatened to sue them for libel if
they published the story. He is
burning up a large amount of news
paper space calling the originators
of the story all kinds of names and
saying that the thing he objects to
most is that they say the record
shows that he voted against a raise
of pay of soldiers to $50 month.
Mr.. Stephens memory appears to
be very defective in that regard as
the Congressional Record discloses.
Someone, in making up the adver-
tisement transposed the figures CIV
ing the page of the Congressional
Record on which the vote is shown,
and in his absence of mind Mr..
Stephens appears to have forgotten
to look elsewhere.
Mr.. Stephens may, as he says,
have voted for the raise, but his vote
is recorded on the same side as most
OF the southern congressman who
we're opposing the raise, and who
voted against it.
Mr.. Stephens may have thought
he was voting for it, but the record
shows him against it.

| take this metnOd ana OPP
portuhity to express my
thanks for your past support
and activity in my behalf as a
candidate for Congress and
at the same time to urge each
of you to put forth your eff
forts with your friends and
neighbors to secure their
votes for me at the election
on Tuesday next.
The diversified interests of
labor, agriculture, trade and
commerce in this congress
sional district are many and
varied and when I become>a
representative in Congress it
will be my earnest hope and
effort to help advance and
upbuild all these interests,
and to be of real substantial
service to our people and to
our country during the re-
mainder of the war and in
peace when attained.
The political slogan "the
President kept us out Of war"
which also implied that he
would keep us out Of war,
carried the last COMPRESSION
al election. A few months
later, however, Congress,
under the leadership of the
President, declared that a
state of war existed.
When war was declared,
and subsequently, the mem
bers Of the Republican and
Democratic parties and citi-
zens composed of all races,
nationalities> and creeds put
forth with a high degree of
unanimity and loyalty a unit
! ed effort to win the war.
Americas sons, Republicans
and Democrats, have stepped
into the ranks of the army
side by side. In civil life the
American, as distinguished
from the political partisan,
has been doing and will do
the part of a patriot. In Con-
- gress, time and again, Repub-
>lican members, because of
their loyalty and foresight,
have voted to enact vital war
measures when President
Wilson, as Commander in
Chief Of our army and navy,
and leader of the Democratic
party, was unable to secure or
command the united support
of Democratic Congressman
for such measures.

To my Friends and Neighbors of
Douglas, Sorpy and Washington
Counties:

This country and its gov
eminent belong to our people.
We inherited them from our
forefathers and subsequent
preservers. The power to elect
members of congress rests
with the voters as provided by
law, and should I be elected
to represent this district. I
shall vote as an American
Congressman should vote,
that is for all measures that
will in my judgment help our
President, our army and our
navy in all their courageous
efforts to win the war
through the surrender of the
military machines of the Gen.
trail powers and thereby in
sure a permanent peace.
Among the great duties Of
the coming American Con-
gress will be the devising Of
proper and pract ical methods
for transforming Americas
industrial affairs from war
agencies to peaceful pursuits;
and to provide for the pay
ment of the great debt Great
ed by the war Our country
must not offer our returning
soldiers and war workers
"the bread line of the unem-
ployed"' but real opportuni-
ties to again become prosper
Gus workers and homebuild-
ers. The future of the mil
lions of soldiers and war
workers should have the earn
est thought of congress. No
one person alone should be
burdened with these great
duties, even though he possess
the greatest of minds, but
rather should the President
be sustained and strength
ened by the composite judg-
ment of a representative Con-
gress elected by the choice of
our people.
AS an American who has
been nominated by the Re-
publican party for the office
of Congressman, I submit the
cause Of my election to you,
with the belief that you, by
your votes, will delegate me
to be your representative in.
the next Congress of the
United States.

German Speaker Apparently

Lincoln, Oct. 30.-(Special) For
several days political soothsayers,
who hold forth in the lobby of the
Lindell hotel and make an unmake
statesmen as they wend their way
UP and down the elevator to demo-
cratic state headquarters, have been
wondering shy Colonel August
Esser. the great German orator.
who did such valiant service two
years ago for the democratic state
committee. has been so often wend-
ing his way up the stairway or rid
ing up the elevator so persistently.
1t is known generally that Chair
man Bert Sprague, the ready letter
writer of the democratic committee,
would like to corral the nonpartisan
vote for his chief, Governor Neville
In fact he paid Serge ,,nt-at-Arms
Evans $50 to go up and try to cor
raj w. ]. Taylor and the rest Of
the Custer county bunch, but Just
what Colonel Esser is doing on the
second floor the soothsayers and
seers would like to know.

Some of them venture the opinion
that perhaps Mr.. Sprague is trying
TO corral the German vote, and hav-
ing had very vociferous indications
given him that a persontl interview
is a safer proposition than letter
writing, he may have adopted the
personal solicitation interview as the
best way to settle great questions
WHICH come before the committee
OF which he is the chairman.
Tower and Power Allen,
acknowledged to be the one demo-
crat who has the greatest amount
Il louitical sasacity and to whom the
party leaders go for advice upon
great questions involving the cam
paign, but who ,admis that it is
much better to travel long dis
lance when important matters are
at stake than to write letters. starts
out today on secret mission for the
committee.
Going Well Prepared.
Il am taking along enough money
so that the chairmen won't have
to send me any letters" Colonel
Allen is reported to have said.
Whether his mission is to the Non
partisan league or the amalgamated
association OF letter writers is not
known, but when he returns the
committee will probably know their
chances for success.
In the meantime Colonel Esser
goes up the stairway and then comes
down again; and when he is up he
is up, you know, and when he is
down he is down; and when he is
in the center he is neither up nor
