Cailaway Courier Gep3; Jack MacCor ap.
| pears to be about the only real candidate
/ Ter governor IN Nebraska at the present
| time.
Fullerton News Crep): Meiklejohn stock
is now worth over 100 per cent and still
rising. II begins to look as II his nomi-
nation would be made by acclamation.
McCook Tribune (rcp): The gubernatorial
candidacy OF Judge NJ. l.. Hayward seems
to be at once taking on substantial form.
The Judge Is a man OF character and brains
Just keep an eye on his gait He may
surprise you.
Genoa Leader (rop): The follows who
race for the nomination for governor a
few weeks ago begin to realize the fact
that he Is about the only candidate who
is in 1t to any great extent
Verdigree Recorder (rep); George d.
Melklejohn is the coming candidate for gov
ernor on the republican ticket. His public
life has been above reproach and his nomi-
nation and election to the office to which
he aspires viii be an honor to the state
as well as to Mr. Meiklejohn
Holdrege Citizen (rep): Judge NJ. L..
Hayward, so it is given out. will be a can
didate for governor instead Of for a place
on the supreme bench. II does not look as
II at present any one had a walkaway. Ne
braska republicans have a lot of excellent
material to choose from this year.
Kearney Hub rep): The insinuation
that Jack MacCol's county was dsloyal
to Majors two years ago has been efrcctually
disposed of, and Il Is fair to presume that
there will be no more chestnu,s to nick
before the state convention meets on the
first day of July. So far the crop has been
a failure.
Broken Bow Republican (rep): Judge NJ.
l.. Hayward Of Nebraska City has at last
decided to stand for the republican nomina-
n,,I x,.l,A
tion meets the fac; will be disclosed that he
has many friends over the state To speak
plainly, even though Ii may be to the det-
riment of other candidates, there is no
question but what Judge Hayward stands
head and shoulders above them all in point
or ability, and as governor of Nebraska he
would be credit to the state.
Winsde Tribune (rep): There isn't a
more honest, hard-working faithful repub-
lican In the state Of Nebraska than Jack
MacColl. The Tribune has not been sup
porting him and does not intend to unless
he is nominated by the convention. because
our first love is Gene Moore but that is
no reason for singing mud at him or any
other good fellow With Gene Moore Jack
MacColl, Charlie Richards or George Melle-
john at the head OF the ticket this fall the
republican party ought to score n victory
as would show to the world that Nebraska
is all right and likely to stay so.
kearney Hub (rep.l: Whether Jack Mac
Coll Is nominated or not, and no matter
who is nominated for governor, let the
thing be done decently and fairly. The in
situation has crept into the press that
Jack MacColl knitted Tom Majors two years
ago, hence IL he should be nominated this |
year Majors friends would retaiate. ANY |
republican should be ashamed to publish the |
nsinuation. 1t is unfair. 1t is untrue.
II the press of eastern Nebraska chooses |
% make this kind of a fight against tho
'nly candidate from western Nebraska thew
nay possibly be sowing dragons teeth
n the party for future crop of woe Let
up!
Fullerton Journal (rep): One reason WHY
Meiklejohn would make the best candidate
or governor is that he never makes an
enemy. Once a friend and you are always
| friend with Meiklejohn So, with his
vide acquaintance over the state, he would
'oli more votes than any other man the re-
publican party could nominate. Holcomb
VIII be the strongest opponent and he will
'e hard to beat-with a weak candidate the
esult would be uncertain. A man like
heiklejohn who is popular and upon whom
III could unite, would be elected easily.
The republican party cannot afford to make
my mistake. Meiklejohn has never been
'eaten and would be a sure winner in this
Instance.
