IN THE GunEnSAroRrAL FIELD.

winside Tribune (rep): The prospects for
Eugene Moore grow brighter as days go by.
He has a record which bears inspection.
That 10 the kind Of man to have In office.
Wood River Interests (repl: There are
81 many gubernatorial band wagons rumbl!ng
over Nebraska, that a good many OF the
boys are in doubt which one 90 climb into.
Better climb into the Jack MacColl wagon.
Blair Pilot (rep): Through the late re-
publican county convention in Nemeha
county, Tom Majors has again declared him
self a candidate for governor. Tom still
hugs the delusion that he is a candidate.
Blair Courier: Tom Majors is out again
for the nomination Of governor. To be eter-
nally having ghosts OF any kind stalking
abroad makes sensitive mortals feel some
what uncanny and this Is about the effect
that Tom has on most of the republicans of
tho state.
Blair Pilot (rep): Madison county repub-
licans indorse Eugene Moore and will die
in the last ditch or succeed in getting him
the nomination for governor, and they will
not be a bit lonesome N this attitude, as
Eugene will have hosts Of supporters from
other counties than his own.
Tecumseh Chieftian (rep.): Hon. Jack Mac
Coll Of Dawson county appears to be the lea
ing candidate for the republicsrnomination for
governor up to date. He is favorably known
all over the state, is capable. reliable and a
loyal republican at all times. Dn't be sur
prised when his nomination is announced.
Sutton Advertiser (rep): If persiStency
Is to be rewarded Jack MacColl should be
nominated a. the republican candidate for
governor of Nebraska. The west end ia for
him and the west end is entitled to recog-
nition, Mr.. MacColl has the essential quail
~fications and would make a good governor
for all Nebraska.
Friend Telegraph (rep): Hon. ]. II. Mac
Coll Of Lexington is again In the field for
governor. The straight manner in which
Jack fell into line after having been twice
defeated for that office, has won him hosts
of friends from all over the state. Had he
been on the ticket two years ago Silas Hol-
comb would not now be filling the governors
chair.
Alma Record (rep): Nobody knows him
as G.. E. Adams. Everybody knows Captain
Adams. That name Cap" cost a lot of
effort and is a credit to the man and will
probably be the making him. Captain
Adams presents the best type of the late
union soldier. He has borne the hardships
Of service to a remarkable degree, and is
today apparently none the worse off. His
walk IL unimpared and he retains the mill
tary erectless with a natural ease, pleasant
to behold.
Fairbury Enterprise Gep.): The indications
are that the rank and file of the republican
party in Nebraska have another fight on
their hands. Some -of the polite ans have
already timated that such and such a can
didate for governor must be given the nomi-
nation or there VIII be war in the camp.
1t is better to have a war and the man the
people want for governor than it is to be
driven about like cattle by the bosses and
then be defeated. We want no more of 1t
in this section. A little of such medicine
goes a long way these time.
Tecumseh Chieftain rep.): Hon. Elijah
Filley of Gage county, an aSp:rant for the
republican nomination for governor, was in
town Tuesday and was an interested spec
tGtor at the republican congressional con-
~venticn. Mr.. Filley regards his chances very
coed for securing the honor he Graves. The
great county of Gage is solidly behind him
and it is more than probable that other
counties in the southeastern portion of the
state will join forces with him and make
him a very important factor in the state
convention. Mr.. Filley has been prominently
identified with the growt and progress of
Nebraska since it's admission to statehood.
He is an able and conservative business
man, has served with distinction In the legis-
lature and, should he be nominated. his
election will follow in due time without
question.
Genoa Leader (rep): Jack Mccall will I'M
doubtedly be Me.klejohn's strongest COM
petitor for the nomination for governor, and
Jack is all right. But he has been before
the people, in one way or another, seeking
this plum for 10 these many years, and
while he has Dcen aDle 10 secure d strohS
support, he has lacked the ability to unite
the party and arouse enthusiasm enough to
get there. What the republicans want in a
candidate this fall is a man who can bury
tho pops so deep that they can never resur-
rect themselves. Me klejohn is the man who
can ID It, for he is without doubt the most
popular candidate in the race. He is iden-
tilted with no f~actional fights, and has no
CID sores to heal up. Meiklejohn is the man
the people want and Meiklejohn is the man
they are going to have. Smoke that IN
your meerschaum.
