! claring himself republican. AS rule re-
| pubicans are not to be found running Tor

Hebron Journal (rcp); Samuel Maxwell.
In accepting the nomination for supreme
| judge from the pupulist party, gives them TO
| understand that he Is not a populist. but a
"nonpartisau" Noaparjisaus IN Nebraska are
| scarce and the ballots for Maxwell vii! be
| equally scarce.
Schuyler Quill (pop): With Judge Maxwell
| running for supreme judge this fall against
Judge NoryaI We have direct fight between
| the corporations aud the people. IL is not a
partisan fight, as the populists have laid
aside partisanshlp In behalf OF clean courts
and for banch ibcorruptible.
Kearney Hub trcp): letter just re-
celved from Massachusetts, by prominent
politician of this city contains very warm
endorsement OF Samuel Maxwell for supreme
Judge. Met states that he and Max
were chums In the days OF long ago, and he
regrets exceedingly that he cannot vote at
the Nebraska election for the purpose of CIV
ing the old man a lift
Aurora Sun tdem): Judge Maxwell has ac-
cepted the nomination OF the populsts as
"noupartisan." He does not state how he
stands on the Omaha platform" and does
not renounce his republicanism. Now We have
two republicans in the field and two demo-
Gratis, only one of them favorlng the free coin
age OF silver, and that is G. j. Phelps OF
Schuyler, the regular democratic nominee.
Wallace Herald (pop.): Judge Maxwell has
written his formal acceptance Of the popu-
list nomination for supreme judge. lie insists
on accepting the nomination, not as a popu-
list renouncng his former republicanism, but
as a nonpartisan candidate. We believe IL the
judge would indorse the Omaha platform he
would be elected by several thousand ma
iOrity Othnrwign his plpptinn iS nh
York Democrat: The nomination of Judge
Maxwell by the populists places his caud-
dacy for supreme judge above partisan pol
itics. No national issue will be discussed in
his candidacy, but 1t will be fought On the
line Of state issues and on honesty, fair and
impartial judiciary His acceptance as ten
dered him by the populst party is no sur
prise, but will cause a general stirring up of
old party tricksters and dishonest politicians.
Madison Reporter pop): When the pop
ulist state convention placed Samuel Maxwell
in nomination for judge OF the supreme court
1t fired the first shot for a nonparisan ju-
dietary and the dethronement of monopoly
in the supreme court. Judge Maxwell was
once defeated for supreme judge becalse he
would not become subseryient to monop-
oily, but now the eyes of the people are
opened and he will be elected because of that
fact. Vote for Judge Maxwell and a non
partisan supreme court.
Valentine Republican (repJ: Judge Max
well has at last accepted the nomination as
candidate for the office of Judge of the
supreme court, rendered him by the populist
party. In accepting the nomination Judge
Maxwell does SO strictly as a nonpartlsan |
not as populist. He has been a lifelong
republican and still processes to adhere TO |
the cardinal doctrines of that party. This |
is the first time in the state that a political |
organization has headed its ticket with |
man who is not and has not been committed |
to any of its doctrines principles.
plnf
is too 1lppant with the name of Judge Max
we'll The judge has perfect right to run |
Tor the office of supreme judge If he wants !
to, and the point that he makes in his letter |
OF acceptance favoring a nonpartisan ju- |
dietary is unanswerable. The republican |
party was glad to honor Judge Maxwell for |
eighteen years on the supreme bench, and It |
doesn't look well now for republicans to turn |
up their noses because he is a candidate on |
another ticket. He knows just as much as |
he did when he was republican Judge and |
is equally as honest. We are for the straight |
republican nominee, but we don't like to |
see man OF Judge MaxwelPs age and ability !
mentioned as If he were a ward heller
Chadron Signal (pop) The question the
people VIII vote on this fall when they vote |
for justice of the supreme court is whether |
they want judges on the bench who will give |
exact Justice regardless Of party lines and |
high officials, or whether they want Judges |
who will screen and excuse the rascals of their |
own party. While. as populst the editor |
OF this paper would prefer to see Judge Max !
well make his views on the whole scope of !
reforms proposed by the peoples independent
party more prominent in this campaign, vet
as citizen os Nebraska he is heartily glad
to support Judge Maxwell on his platform of
a faithful and honest administration of the
law Judge Maxwell's twenty years record
on the supreme bench and his opinions in
the reports Of that court are wide enough
platforms for all lovers of civil liberty and
good government, populist, republican, demo-
crat and prohibitionist, to unite in his sup
port, |
