IN THE GuBnRxAToRIAL FIELD.

west Point Progress tdemD: IL beglns u
| look as IL Eugene Moore will have the sole
support of the counties in this section o.
| Nebraska in his candidacy for governor.
Kearney Sun rep) Tom Majors still
holds warm place in the hearts Of Ne
braska republicans; but 1t is generally held
that he has had his day in court and ought
| now to stand aside,
Filey Republican (rep): Hon. Elijah
| Fiiley's candidacy for the governoship has
| now settled down to a steady growth that
will assume vast proportions before the state
convention.
West Point Republican Crep) Hurrah
| for Eugene Moore for governor. c. c.. Nish
| for state treasurer and w. f. Norris for con-
| greS5l The republicans Of Cunning county
will give this fine trio a big send-of at the
proper time.
Stanton Picket (rep): When the state
| convention meets It will be found that Gene
Moore's support is not confined to the north
| Platte country. Gene is always "tu hum
with the boys all over the state His cards
are out and the response will not be at all
! slow.
Wymore Arbor State Crep): Hon. E. Fill
| ley of Filley went through to his ranch at
| Reynolds the other day to look after his
herds at that place. "Lige" is one Of the
big farmers of Nebraska who has the inside
| track for the republican nomination for gov
ernor.
Adams Globe (repD: The Times of Beat
rice in carrying the name of Elijah Filley
at the head of its columns for governor Of
Nebraska. Mr.. Filley needs no introduction
in this county; everybody knows him, and
they know he is all right, and that he would
make a good governor.
Walt Mason (0: 1t would purify politics
to elect a farmer to the governors chair; II
would bring back to the republican ranks
hundreds f agriculturists who have been fol-
loving strange gCds and who can never be
brought back by an attorney on two legs.
Let us whoop her up for Mr.. Filley.
Kearney Hub Gep) Jack MacColl and
his gubernatora boou-and, the two
arc one and inseparable--were on exhibition
at the Midway hotel this afternoon and can
be seen for short time this evening. So
far as can be discovered the genial gentle
man from Dawson is all right and the boom
ditto
Lincoln News And now it is said that
Judge Scott, Mr.. Rosewater's old friend, has
the gubernatora bee in his bonnet That is,
the judge thinks 1t is the guhernatorial bee,
while the opinion apears to be quite general
that it is simply cre Of the little wheels that
has slipped a cog and is doing business with
out any relation to the governor
Grand Island Independent rep) Hon.
Elijah Flley of Filley, Neb., is now
among those to be considered as gubernatorial
-
March hurrah. He will have the state of
Gage" and several other counties in the
southeast corn belt behind him, and prom
iaes to make a very formidable candidate.
Crete Vidette rep): Every time that Jack
MacCol cacllles the boys all over the big
Sixth district flock to his call like unto
brood of chickens under the protecting wing
OF the mother hen-all Of which goes to
show that Jack is very popular in this neck
of the woods and at the coming meet at
Lincoln he is determined to give all other
nagS q genuine race.
Ponca Journal rep) The gubernatoriai
contest this year will somewhat lack usual
interest ON account of the more important
issue, the presidential fight, in which Ne
braska, like many other states, will have
a "favorite" son. There will be sufficient
interest in the governorship in this part of
the state, however, to put forth vigorous
efforts looking to the nomination and election
of Hon. Eugene Moore, who is now in the
lead for that place.
Crete Vidette Crep): We have received
letter from w. j. Broatch Of Omaha, soic- |
iting our aid in his effort to climb the guber-
Material ladder There are so many good
men in the field that it is difficult to know
just whom to boost. The list thus far is
Meiklejohn. MacColl, Moore, Cady, Adams, |
Teft and Filley. Until the atmosphere be- !
comes less haZy we are rather inclined to |
stick to our first love and continue to whcop |
1t up Tor MelKleJOnn.
Platte Center Signal (dem.): At the earn
est solicitation of his many friends through |
out the state, Tom Majors has consented to |
withdraw from the gubernatoral race and al |
low tho republican party to make a start |
without being handicapped We, as demo-
Gratis, sincerely regret this move, for Mr..
Majors could have been defeated without a
AS it is now, we must organize our
forces, fix our fences and select the best
man in our party for a leader il we expect |
to make even a showing.
Wakefield Republican rep): Hon. Eugene
Moore is the natural choice of the re-
publicans of this section of Nebraska for
governor He is more than that; he is the
first choice of good many men irrespective
of party. His record in the important office
Of auditor of state the past four years has
made him friends all over the state, and is
his best warrant for future honors. He has
not been puffed up with the pride Of office;
he Is not a corporation tool, and he Is
neither prejudiced nor narrow in his views.
Arlington Times (rep): The Beatrice Daily
Times came out recently with boom for
Hon. Elijah Flley for gubernatoral hon
ors. Mr.. Filley is no doubt a good man,
but Hon. Eugene Moore, present state audi
tor. is well qualified to fill the office of gov
ernor, has a clean public record, and polled
the heaviest vote of any candidate in the
last state election. His name has been
mentioned for gubernatoral
hororu by a number of leading papers in
Nebraska and we believe better man
could be named to fill that office.
Central City Nonpareil (rep): This office
Is in receipt of a letter from W. j. Droatch
stating that he was a candidate for gov
ernor and that he would be thankful for
any support he might receive. While there
Is no question but what Mr.. Broatch
would make a good governor If elected
still we believe with the existing state Of
affairs in Omaha between the A. p AS
and tho anita p. AS, it would be as i'm
practicable to nominate Mr.. Broatch as Tom
Majors. What the party wants is harmony.
1t does not want its standard bearer
a man whose character affiliations are
such that an apology or defense is constantly
Ponca Journal (rep): Hon. Eugene Moore
is without doubt in the lead for the re-
publican nomination for governor, He is
growing in popularity and developing new
strength in every section of the state. He
has shown qualities Of sterling manhood
and superior business and executive ca
pacity in discharglng his duties state
auditor and has won and deserves promotion.
He has been an honor to that office and
would likewise be an honor to the governors
office. He Is nearer to the hearts Of the
masses than any other asprant for the gov
and he may well expect that the
esteem OF the masses will be proven in the
nauCuop1 and conventions that mold tho
