(POLITICAL ADYERTISEMENT) (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) \n\n Sez Bill: 5 to ' Charlie ♦ ♦ What’s the matter, Charlie, you look kinda tired. I’ll bet you’ll be glad when this election is over. Yeah, Bill, I am tired, but not as tired as the candidates must be, considering the fact that they’ve got to be on the go day in and day out making various meetings, parties, rallies, etc., all hoping that by putting forth a little more effort in the last few days of their campaign it might result in their being listed among the winners on November 6. You know, after all, the lot of a candi date isn’t as rosy as some people think it is. To the winners of course, there’s the glory and the satisfaction of being chosen by the people to serve them in the various public offices; also the anti cipated march of the job seekers, but how about the ones who didn’t make the grade after all their efforts? That’s right, Charlie, it’s a lead pipe cinch all candidates can't win. You know in some respects the candidate is somewhat like the farmer, he has to be more or less of a gambler—one hopes for rain, the other hopes that everyone eligible will vote. Speaking of voting Bill, I firmly believe that this campaign, after all is over, will break all records as to the number of votes that will be cast. You’re going to see people voting, that in the past, didn’t seem to pay much attention to elections. All we need to have is a nice sunshiny day on November 5 and you’ll see my prediction come true. In your opinion, Charlie, how do you think the election will come out so far as Nebraska is concerned? Will it be Democrat or Republican ? I don’t know, Bill, that’s hard to say, but it’s a foregone con clusion that any candidate running to succeed himself has about a 60% advantage over his apponent. However, in the governorship race, that situation doesn’t exist. The people are going to vote for the one that’s best qualified and from all indications there is no doubt in the people’s minds about that question—Terry Carpenter will be Nebraska’s Next Governor. One thing that’s certain, regardless of any candidate of either party, if 51% of the people decide one way or the other, you and I can’t do a thing about it. We will still have to associate with •one another and will still have to work for our bread and butter.

Interesting Naval Notes "In national disasters It has always been the Navy which has first offer ed assistance to populations of strick en areas. In the Japanese earth quake, It was the U. 3. Asiatic Fleet which first arrived at the scene of disaster. In the Messina earthquake, Russian Revolution, Armenian trou bles and anti-foreign disturbances in China, the Navy took a prominent part In the protection of civilian life and in the evacuation of refugees. During that famous engagement between ships of the Royal and Amer ican Navies, in which John Paul Jones and his ship were apparently doomed for the bottom, there was one event which has escaped history. The fight ing had been terrific. Topmasts were aflame, both vessels were grappled, canvas was shredded, and the decks were running red. Upon the British call for surrender, John Paul Jones bellowed his staggering reply, "We have not yet begun to fight!" One sweating marine in the foretop, brush ing his perspiring brow with his tat tered sleeve, punched the wounded marine next to him, "There’s always •OE? d - - - fOOi thit dO?!*5t eraf the word,” says he. It la rather surprising to most peo ple that British Naval officers are not required to rise when they drink a toast to the King. This is no evi dence of disrespect—it is a tradition. When Charles II was returning to England, according to Commander P. Lovette, he decreed that from that time (1660) forever more, officers of the Royal Navy would not have to rise to toast the King. It seems that King Charles in rising to reply to a toast had bumped his head on the low hanging wardroom beams of the Roy al Charles—and, in order to spare others a like injury, he bade ail of ficers to remain seated at Sovereign toasts from that time to this.” The accordion was invented by a Viennese, Damian, in 1829.

His father was a farmer and a stock man. The Judge attended the public schools in Fremont and received his degree in law from the University of Michigan in 1900. From 1904 to 1906 he served as a Federal Referee in Bankruptcy. In 1910 he was appoint ed and served for 8 years as City Attorney of the city of Omaha. He is the “daddy” of the Home Rule Charter, under which the Omaha city government is now functioning. Judge Rine, since his appointment as District Judge, has been assigned to the Equity Bench and is learned in the law, experienced by a long ac tive practice, and has proved himself efficient and courageous in his serv ice to the public and should be return ed to the office. The voters should not overlook this non-partisan office to be filled, because of the stress of the national campaign and national election.

NORTH DISTRICT JUDGE World War Veteran Aviation Experts Tell Of Omaha’s Need For Supporting Bond Issue Two aviation experts. Major John Berry, commissoner of Airports, Cleveland, Ohio, and Vice-president Harold Crary of United Air Lines, have emphasized Omaha’s need for supporting the $500,000 airport devel opment bond issue, the Citizen’s Com mittee in charge said today. “Omaha is potentially one of Amer ica’s great aerial hubs,” Major Berry said, “but Omaha must have an air port of not less than 640 acres if it is going to keep pace with the needs of aviation." Rated as the country’s foremost au thority on airports, Major Berry laid out and constructed the first coast-to coast air route. Crary echoed Major Berry’s state ment by pointing out that Omaha is an important air transport center, be ing one of the few cities in the coun try which is served by lines running in all directions. “The phenomenal growth of air transportation in the past few years has demonstrated that the 'city of to morrow’ will rely substantially upon air transportation, not only to expe dite movement of passengers and car go, but to maintain itself in indus trial competition among cities,” Crary said. In stressing that the cost of the bond issue is small when weighed against the benefits which may be received, the Citizen’s Committee cited a tabulation by the Omaha city comp troller’s office showing that the prop erty owner would be assessed but 24-3/10 cents per year on $1,000.00 of valuation. The committee warned that other cities are ahead of Omaha in the race for Aviation and National defense prizes. Denver has five airports— Kansas City two, with plans for a third, while Omaha has yet to com plete its original airport. Current emphasis on aviation and proposed development of the munici pal airport, will be highlighted with an Omaha Air Show on Sunday, No vember 3. Sponsored by the Omaha Junior Chamber of Commerce, plans for the show include stunt flying, racing, a parachute jump and a luxury-liner ex hibition, Chairman Cecil Henkels said today. ,, Twelve planes will be used for a program of stunting, a shirt-tail race and spot landings, Henkels said. United Airlines will have one of the giant DC3 sleeper planes on display at the municipal airport during the show. The DC3 is used on transcon (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) Shotwell ! for PUBLIC DEFENDER tinental bops and does not stop In Om». aha on regular schedule. Mia-Continent Airlines will prob ably have a Lodestar luxury plana In Omaha, Henkels said. Other flying' features scheduled by operators at thft Omaha airport, will include looping; falling leaves, upside-down flying, ate. The November 3 show will be tha first of its kind to be held in Omaha in more than five years. There will be no admission charge.
