Thomas Majors gubernatorial candidacy are
dropping out of the ranks of the hickory
shirt phalanx. Tho St. Paul Republican
says: "a few months ago 1t looked as IL
Majors would be our easy winner but now
1t does not look as IL no would be in 1t at ALL
St. Paurs candidate has good chance OF
success.n
Ed A. Fry of the Niobrara Pioneer, speak
ing on the same subject, saws; Tho
Pioneer likes Tom Majors and regrets that
his record is such that it cannot stand the
scrutiny Of investigation. 1t was the Doug
las county delegation two years ago that
made him the nominee for lieutenant gov
ernor; II will DO the same delegation that
will keep him from being governor this year.
But Tom has not protited as man Of his ex-
perience ought to have done and he has no
one to blame but himself by sticking so close
to his fool friends"
Charles Wooster, the allianco editor of
the Silver Creek Times, declares in favor of
the nomination of Lorenzo Cronnse and then
relates this anecdote OF him: "When the
editor of the Times first struck Nebraska IN
the spring of 1872 it was his fortune To drop
into the district court room IN Schuyler
while court was in session. An attorney
was arguing a motion to reopen certain
case, presenting some very hncspun legal
tecbnicalities. The judge denied his motion
and in the course of his remarks said ut is
the design of the law to establish justice,
and l cannot permit IL to be used rs an
engine to work Injustice That remark
spoke volumes for that Judge. aud on inquiry
his name was found to be Lorenzo Crounse."
Attorney A. A. Kearney of Stanton, who
has been travelling quite extensively recently
over the northeastern part of the state, says
that Crounse seems to be the favorite in that
section and that Tom Majors isn't in it up
there The North Platte country seems to
be taking more interest in the other offices
than in the governorship
1t is charged that J. V. Wolf is trying to
make use of the rumpus between the Van
Wyck and Burrows factions in tho inde-
pendent party to sneak in as a dark horse
and capture the gubernatorial nomination
for himself. Holden, however, is camping
on VOLTS trail.
The independents are appealing for funds
to carry on the coming campaign, but it
seems they have not settled yet for the ex-
penses incurred during the fight two years
ago. +. l.. Leighton, one of the secretar-
les of the independent state central COM
mittee in 1890, has placed claim for 1925 in
the hands of Lincoln notary public for col
lection. This represents three months hard
work, for which Mr.. Leighton claims he
never received cent.
The official organ of the independents in
Omaha, the Tocsin, says: "a political
trick or fraud committed by a reformer is
Just as wrong, all circumstances being
equal, as though done by democrat or re-
publican. Tho sooner some men in the new
movement learn this and forget their old
party habits, the quicker will it reach the
summit of success"
''The difference between Benton and Bow
erman is the difference between tweedledum
and tweededee. And that's what's the mat
ter with Hannah" according to the Lincoln
News.
The northwestern counties of the Sixth
congressional district claim that they ought
to have the naming of the republican can
made to form an alliance to capture the

favor of F.. M Dorrington and against Hon,
James Whitehead and Judge Kinkaid
Editor Tim Sedgwick of the York Times is
likely to be nominated for state senator from
his district MIR. Sedgwick is winner in
the newspaper line and Is just the kind of
mn nj IF ,h,,h
made.
There is q protest from the democrats of
the Fifth district against endorsing Nc
keighan for congress. The Hastings Demo-
crat, the leading paper of its faith in the
district, says: Mark the prediction When
the Fifth district democratic convention
meets, there will be no voice raised against
the nomination OF true, everyday demo-
crat."
Another man has been named who wants
inate hlm for congress-JudRe ]. e. Ong of
Geneva.
Tom Stevenson OF Otoe county Is the
choice of some OF the Independents of the
First district for congress, but Tom is said
to have declared that he prefers to run for
the legislature.
The Cass county democrats appear to be
getting Frank E. White in shape to run for
float representative to succeed Hon. John G,
Watson, and are fishing around in their
ranks for tit and suitable person 10 break

Dr. r. B. Wallace Of Union being chosen,
