Tekamah Burtonian; There Is a movement
to launch a boom for General Manderson
for president. He has been talked of as
| possible candidate for vice president but
now his friends believe he is the right may
for the first place. He is especially strong
with the old soldiers and made a good
record as a senator
Osceola Record: Ex-senator Manderson is
said to be a candidate for the presidential
nomination. The senator was very popular
when serving the people at Washington
and Is widely and favorably known all over
the nation and II he can secure the nomina-
ton viii make a splendid chief executive.

he will have the hearty support OF Ne.

| Grand Island Tribune: While Mckinley
has larger following in Nebraska it must
| not be conceded that the state valves any of
| its rights to nominate any of is favorite
| sons for president If II comes to CON
| test as between Mckinley and Manderson
Tor the Nebraska delegation the prospects
! are that lively encounter will result Ey-
Senator Henderson is somewhat of a fighter
and has many admiring friends yet in the
| state
Hardy Herald If General Manderson has
| any chance for nomination in the St Louis
convention. Nebraska should support him.
| but 1t is not necessary that our delegation
should go there and bask in his shadow
to prevent people from discovering their
presence. We do not believe in instructions,
put the sending of delegates with brains and
honor enough to represent the wishes of the
republicans of this state. They will be
we'll known by convention time.
Chappell Register: The friends of ex-Sen-
stor Manderson are preparing him for
dark horse at the st. Louis convention.
Next to Mckinley, Henderson would be all
right, and matters may get mixed up at
the convention that some man like Mander-
son Will be necessary to harmonize all sides
But while you are at 1t, why not make a
regular candidate of him and go in and cap
ture the nomination. Make it Manderson
first choice, with Mckinley as second.
Randolph Times: According to newspaper
accounts, ex-senator Henderson has con-
sented to stand as a candidate for president,
This decision, the accounts further enumer,
ate. was reached after mature deliberation
and the urgent requests of numerous friends |
We are sorry to see this, although did the |
distinguished gentleman stand any chance |
for the nomination we would heartily en-
dorse his candidacy. We fear it will have |
a tendency to divide the party in this state |
something that should be avoided IL pos |
sible.
Exeter Enterprise: General Manderson an
nounced this week that while he was not |
candidate for the republican nomination. he |
would make no effort to prevent his friends |
in Nebraska from sending delegation to the
republican national convention favorable to
his nomination. General Henderson would
make stronger candidate than many of
more prominence, and speaking from the
ranks OF the enemy. this paper hopes that |
his friends will fail in their efforts to securs
his endorsement. He is entirely too clean
man to represent Nebraska republicanism.
Valparaiso Visitor: Many of the Nebraska
papers are advocating the idea that Nebraska
should go to st. Louis with presidential
candidate in the person Of ex-senator Man
derson. Manderson is all right and would
make an ideal president and al strong can
ddate. But had we best not look around
and see whether there is ghost of a show
to secure his nomination first before we pre- !
sent his name. To present his name without
any show of securing the nomination for
him would be mere nonsense, and by SO doing
we could gain nothing, or neither would we
receive any pums by 1t. If he was a for
midable candidate and had a fighting show
then it would do.
Red Cloud Argus: Nebraska republicans
are always loyal, no matter who the nominee
may be, they are bound to be pleased and
will work heartily to place the state way
up in the republican column. Unquestonably
the preponderance of sentiment in Nebraska
today is for Mckinley. but just the same
there should be every facility offered in the
district and state conventions for full and
free expression The apparent effort on the |
part of some overzealous friends OF the Ohio
leader to forestall the action OF the conven-
tions will not be received kindly by the rank
and file of the party and may result In more
harm than good to the best interests of the
party T
Crete Vidette: We can see no special reason
why Nebraska republican cannot give his
support to General Manderson's candidacy
He is the peer Of any Of the men whose
names have been mentioned. His war record
hat as of s0en the other not candidates. GSast 'hns hs
1ot suffer in comparison and his record as
United States senator. forging to the front of
committees and in six years honored with
he position Of president of the senate is |
second to none. He is an orator. a soldier,
md statesman. and what is especially pleas
ng to us, he is a Nebraskan. If there Is
possibility of securing General Manderson's
republicans ought to exert every
,tfort in that direction.
York Times: There is very strong SEN
iment for Governor Mckinley in Nebraska
nd the feeling in regard to him is so general
hat it would be impossible to select dele
,ation to the national convention for any
ther man. II, however Senator Henderson
hould be candidate there is no doubt the
delegation would willingly be given to him
o as long there was any possible
hance Of his nomination, with the under
landing that when he was through with
hem they should go to Mckinley. There is
o better way to stand up for Nebraska than
0 stand up for its brains and its culture.

tate that they will not be found withhold
