HIS FRIENDS ARE MANY.
Kind Words For SomeryilIe From Many Of
the Newspapers.
All Agree that he will Make an Admir-
able Congressman:

NicolletCounty Inde PENDENT The Man
kato News says: 'sSomerville Of Sleepy
Eye, like McCleary, is in favor of sound
money on gold basis. This fact is good
for double-headed leaders from our sill
yer friends. "The News is talking through
it's hat. Mr. Somerv1lle is in favor of
sound money, but unlike McCleary
stands upon the republican national plat
form of 1892 Another point in favor
of Mr.. Somerville is, that he is bona
ide resident of his district and closely
identified with the interests ofSouthern
Minnesota. In case of an election his
friends would he perfectly safe from
being called upon to accept any wild
theories as the wisdom of higher state
manship. Fewer speeches upon the wants
of eastern capitalists and closer attention
to the needs of the Minnesota farmers is
at present immensely popular in the Sec
onddistrict, and congressional candidates
will bc compelled to subordinate the
former to the latter, or he jngloriously
defeated.
Sleepy Eye Herald: The New Tim
Review of last week contained short
item to the effect that Geo. W. Somer-
vile, of this city was a candidate for
congress to succeed McCleary. The
Dispatch of this place also mentioned
the fact, but as we could not see Mr..
Somerv1lle on the subject, he being alb
sent, the HERALD did not in last weeks
issue mention the matter. Our we'll
known attorney was interviewed by US
on the subject and he stated that such
was the case; that he had abundant rea-
| son to believe that his chances were very
favorable for the Republican nomination
for congress. This announ. ement is one
of great interest to every citizen of
Sleepy Eye and Brown county. Whet-
her you are of the same political faith
with Mr.. Somerville or not, if you enjoy
his acquaintance you cannot but be an
xious as to his success. The editor of
this paper is not of the same political
faith with him, but is free to say that no
than ne to see him obtain the Republi-
can nomination for congress. George
w. Somerville needs no introduction to
the people of this district. He is Il law
yer of wide repute, a scholar and an Or
ator and a man that would make his
mark in the congress of the United States.
He is graduate of the University of
Michigan, and settled in Brown county
in 1879 and for three terms was the able
and efficient county attorney of the
county. His qualifications for nation
al legislator would be second to none IN
Congress. Our wish is that lie obtain the
Republican nomination for congress.
st. James Plaindealer: Somcrville,
of Brown comfy, shes his castor into
the ring and announces that he is can
didate for Congress, subject to the action
of the next republican convention, MI
Somerville is a bright and able lawyer
and will make an excellent officer if he
is selected to fill this position. His views
on the currency question are not so rabid
as Mr. McCleary's and he may give him
hard fight. ~. ~4
Springfield Advance: Geo. w. Som.
crville>of Sleepy Eye announces himself
a candidate for representative from this,
the Second district. This is good news.
Mr.. Somerville is one of the ablest law
yers and brightest men in the state, and
popular wherever known. He will make
splendid congressman and we hope lie
may succeed.
Morgan Messenger Attorney George
w. Somerville of Sleepy Eye, is groomed
by the Republican party as candidate
for the United States congress from this
district. He is the man and We would
like to see him there. .s

well to the front among the young Re-
