THAT there will be q strong oppo-
sition to the Hon. Frank Welsh-C.
G. Courier.
Yes, it has raised quite a stencil al
ready. But the skunk style of war
fare is disgusting people, and can't
win.
- Blair Pilot: Mr.. Welch, we do
not think, will attempt to deny that

supertiuous.

- The Kearney Press pokes fun at
us because we quoted Democratic au-
thority for the statement that $50 per-
sons were killed by late storm at
Plattsmouth. That the statement was
n ot true is not our fault, We cannot
help believing that a Democrat can
tell the truth, and this fact, or feeling
led us to quote from such authority
Republican Valley Sentinel.
= Bro, Laws is one of the best heart
ed and confiding editors in the world
and is liable to be made the victim of
misplaced confidence. He "cannot
help believing that a Democrat can
tell the truth" Such an idea, broth
er Laws! You can, and must help it.
You ought to know better-a man OF
your age and experience.

Papillion Times: To say that
Mr.. Welch has not kept his pledges
and performed well the things requir-
ed of him, is to say that one is ignor-
ant of the votes he has cast and the
record he has made. He is as faith
full to the tenets of his party as or the
occasions of his nomination and cleo
tion, and has done as much for the
state in general in legislative way
as could reasonably be expected DUR
ing the one session he has served.

ifications the State will be fortunate
in securing his services as Attorney
General.
