Whatever else may happen 1t seems
almost certain that Moses P. Kinkaid
will be returned from the Sixth district
of Nebraska. Kinkaid Is one of the
men that attend strictly to business all
the time. He never bankers for adj
journment nor does he seem to think
it necessary to go out and fix up his
fences. He is not much in evidence
on the floor of the house in the way
of making speeches, but he is generally
there when the votes are taken and he
has the reputation of paying closer at
tention to every demand on the part
OF his constituents than any other mem
Der of the house. Kinkaid was quite
a favOrite with President Taft, who al
ways referred to him as "the sand-hill
crane from Nebraska" mainly because
Kinkaid represented partially arid
district.

One unfortunate feature of the talk
about immense proflteering and graft
in connection with war work is that the
small CRATER is always encouraged to
try to make something himself. Thus
it happens that small dealers furnish
ing meat to the army and commissary
sergeants enter into combination to
get little "rake-off." They seem to
feel that while others are making big
money out of the war they are entitled
to make their bit. One of the fea-
lures of this grating Is that 1t Is the
little fellows that get caught rather
than the big fellows.
Washington's first nickname was
1.-THE City Of Magnificent Distances"
1t might be changed now to 1.-The City
of Magnificent Uniforms" Not that
the army uniforms one sees are magni-
ficent in the sense Of being gaudy or
snowy, but there Is such tremendous
variety. In addition to the policemen,
fremen, messenger boys and porters.

The Attorneys Are
For BRAD"

GThere are scores of attorneys in Lake
County, who examine abstracts and who
constantly want tax searches made on
property they are handling for clients.
Ralph Bradford, Lake County's efficient
deputy treasurer, answers thousands Of
telephone calls a year for these lawyers
about taxes. These attorneys want serv-
ice, and get it. That is why they are for

Union Labor Satisfied
With BRAD"

CWhen business manager Of the Lake
County Times in 1906 Bradford hired
union men as stereotypers, pressmen and
compositors from the allied printing
trades. 1t was under his influence that a
chapel Of the typographical union was
started at The Times office. Four Of these
men Mr.. Bradford hired are still on that
paper and will bear out "Brad's" past
record as friend of union labor That is
why union men all over Lake County are
satisfied with Brad

The Republicans Are
For BRAD"

GTwelve years ago as a republican editor
in Hammond, Ralph B. Bradford fought
without hope Of reward the battles of the
republican party. He has been identified
ever since with the republican organiza-
ton. and no election board of canvassers
the last ten years has missed Brad at the
adding machine TO total the vote. When
the party wanted man at the last cleo
ton as sub treasurer of the Central Com
mittee to raise funds BY popular subscrip-
ton, Bradford's report filed in the clerk
office showed more collections than any
other sub-treasurer IN the County. That
is why Brad has so many loyal friends
among organized republicans He asks
promotion on May 7th. Boost for Brad =

The Farmers Are For
BRAD"

GThere is $4o,ooO,O0oo0 worth of farm
land in Lake County, and the farmers pay
over IL per cent of all the taxes Of the
County. For the last ten years, twice
year, these farmers have been paying
their taxes to Deputy Treasurer Brad
ford Anyone can tell YOU the farmers
an back Of Brad for trasurr and solid, too.
1t is because Brad is the chap who is al
ways ready to answer the thousand and
ond questions the farmers are always
wanting to know, about taxes, income
tax, mortgage exemptions, and a dozen
other things which Brad has at his fing-
ers' ends. This service and courtesy has
put 1900 Lake County farmers back of
Bradford for Treasurer.

The Working People
Are For BRAD"

CThe mills and factories of Lake County
pay one-third of the taxes of Lake Coun-
ty. The fellow in these mills that works
with his hands has earned the money to
pay these taxes. Ralph Bradford has
worked night and day, sometimes y to IA
hours day, to give the taxpayers Of Lake
County an efficient treasurer's office. He
has deserved the promotion he IS asking
on May 7th. The working people of Lake
County will reward this faithful public
servant.

City of Gary, and $4,000 more in Ham

the time from the treasurer's office want
Ralph Bradford, for years its deputy, to
get the republican nomination for treas
urer. The answer is easy Brad gives
