Wisncr Chronicle pop): Nebraska has in
It's senior senator a courageous and able
champion. The ISLANDERS aud snCcrs that are
directed against the people OF this state be-
cause the voters exercised their right to seek
reforms In the administration Of the state
government were resented by Senator Allen
in a manly speech. 1t was an cnort worthy
OF the man and OF the occasion.
Rcd Cloud Argus rep): Senator Aliens
speech in the senate Tuesday was read with
taking 1t for granted Of course that the sena-
tors statements are based upon facts and are
not merely an expression of his sentiments.
The senator pledges the legislature and ex-
ccutive to wise and leve-hcadcd policy
which will build up and encourage Nebraska
interests OF whatever nature
Howells journal (pop): Senator Allen In
his United States senate has done more for
the good name OF our state than all the acts
OF the republicans during the past five years,
We liffpr from him regarding the hOunty
question, but we can only say as to that he
is in the wrong. one good thing about his
Acknowledgement of the bounty Is that he
only asks for the fulfllment of the contract
made by the republican legislature.
Battle Creek Republican rep): In a
speech before the United States senate Tues
day Senator Allen declared that every inter-
est OF the state of Nebraska would be zeal
ously guarded by the incoming administra-
tion. The senator strongly intimated that
the sugar bounty law would not be repealed,
and in fact, according to Mr.. Allen, his party
will conduct affairs just about as the repub-
| ljcanS had intended to If they had been sue
cossful. Let us hope that Mr. Allen was
not talking against time.
Fremont Tribune (rep): Senator Aliens
words WILL we hope, alay the fears of those
who are all rehensye concerning Nebraska.
He says the popocrats will not rcpudate
single obligation. These fears were justi-
fled when popuist legislation was consid-
cred. The senator's assurances are that
the populists of Nebraska will be better
than those of other states We trust he
is correct. If his words are justified better
and closer relations will be established be-
tween the east and the west
sutton Advertiser Uep): Senator Allen
introduced a bill into the senate the other
day for the purpose of giving him an oppor-
tunity of defending the populist adminis--
tration of Nebraska. He done il in very
creditable manner and if his outline Of the
policy and purpose of the new administration
ana the work of the legislature Is carried
out all will be we'll. for they will come
pretty near doing what the republicans were
pledged to do had they been successful on
November 3.
Beatrice Democrat gold demO: Senator
Allen made n speech in the senate Monday
in which he deprecated the assumption that
the legislature and executive administration
in Nebraska would pass the wld-eyed legis-
lation that has been thrown upon the can
vass as warning to investors to keep out
of our state. The speech was an apology
for populism and coming as it did from the
leading populist in the nation, should have
an influence for good with the people Of the
east who look at Kansas and shrink from
Nebraska.
Ashland Gazette: No one has read the
assurances given in the senate by Senator
Allen that the popuist regime In Nebraska
will create no radical change in reference
TO vested interests and property rights than
ourselves. we are also DTOlOuNulS EIdlGlul
the senator for his words In fnvutinS no
.hange in the sugar bounty system in this
state. We consider his words wise and pa
triotc, and that he has rendered his state
an important service by uttaring them. We
only hope h speaks the language of author
ity in these matters,
Clay Center Sun (rep): Hon. William
Allen, in a speech in the United States SEN
ate. gave every assurance that 1t WAS possible
for him to give that the Nebraska pop legis-
lature would place no barrier across the
pathway of the prompt and effectual enforce
ment of legal obligations; nothing Will be
done to impair the standing of the state or
to destroy it's credit: there will be no hostile
legislation. and aid will not be withheld from
the sugar beet industry which, he says, paid
this year 100000 to beet producers" 1t is
sincerely hoped that the senator may be
right i'm his assertions
Crete Herald CrepD: The state Of Nebraska
Is thankful FOR the public and emphatic as
surances given by Senator Allen and Gov
crnor Holcomb that the legislature soon to
convene will pass no laws designed to impair
the validity of existing contracts or interfere
with the collection of debts This Is not to
be construed to mean that the reforms advo-
Gated by the pOpulists will not be carried
cut. or that needful legislation to check
known abuses will not be enacted Repub-
