sen iTORTIL POTPOURRE

Crete Vidcttc; For United States senator
from Ncbipska--A Republican.
Plattsmoulh journal: The supreme court
decision against the republicans is consid-
cred by the politicians as a Knockout blow
for the Tom Majors contingent
Lincoln News; The republicans still lack a
majority on Joint ballot in the legislature;
but the prospect for the election of repub
lican United States senator is excellent, in
asmuch as the democrats are apparently un-
able to agree on candidate and number OF
independents have declared that they will
not go into a combine.
Fremont Herald: The BEE says that
"rhe rank and file of the republican party of
Nebraska is not in sympathy with any
scheme to either steal or buy the senator
ship" But we shall watch them mighty
close lust the same The time when they
arc dangerous is when they begin to protest.
We believe Mr.. Roscwater means what he
says, but the leaders of his party would
think it was particularly cute to get the leg
islature in the very way he suggests.
Oakland Independent: No consistent indie
pendent can vote for J. S. Morton for United
States senator He has repeatedly and pub
licly announced himself uncompromising in
favor of Il single gold standard of money.
This means less money and lower prices; 1t
means to play into the hands of the money
power of Wall street and gold bug of Eng
land. Let independents stand firm and vote
for none but Il straight independent for the
senate.
Beatrice Democrat: The strongest point
yet made in support of Senator i'addocks s
return to the senate, is the fact that he had
n colOrcd woman appointed as janitresS to
the ladies cloak room, the first appointment
made this session of congress. This seems
to show that the senator has great influence
with the administration. 1talso indicates to
the friends of the senator that his assocla-
tion with that "culled pusson' may have
changed his luck.
Grand Island Independent: We have our
selves mentioned Governor-elcct Crounse as
one of the most desirable candidates for
United States senator. But we must con-
fess that there is one strong objection to his
selection And that is the fact that we can
not spare him, because we need him for gov
eruor for the next two and perhaps for the
next four years. For this reason we believe
that it would be better to make Judge Max
well our candidate for senator. He is not
only an excellent man for the position but
also very available candidate, who can be
elected.
Hastings Nebraskan: The Adams county
representatives to the legislature should
most thoroughly canvass tho situation in re
latiOn to the election of a United States SEN
ator so far as it is possible for them to do be-
fore taking their seats in that body The
Importance of clecting the right kind of a
man to represent Nebraska in the United
States senate for the next six years is SO APP
parent that all due caution, vigilance and
| good Judgment should be exercised by the
men to whom the people have delegated this
| power to the end that their best interests
| may be served.
Fremont Flal: The people of Nebraska
| should see to it that if Paddock is defeated
| for the United States senate his successor
| shall be no less an anti-monopolist and no
! less a manly man of the people. There are
able aspirants for Sid Paddock's shoes who,
as men for the common people, would not be
worthy to unite his shoe strings. The rail
roads and other corporate powers do not
need senator from Nebraska to watch
! their interests. They are and will be fully
| protected. The people need the Nebraska
senator and the peoples representatives in
the legislature should see to it that theil
needs are carefully looked after.
