concluded a trip over most of the counties in |
the western half of the state and from his |
own observations he is firmly convinced that |
the republicans will win out next Tuesday
with safe majority. Mr.. Jansen has es-
tablished sheep ranch in Keith county and
while on the trip he interviewed cattlemen
in various portions of the state the
political situation.
There seems to be a landslide toward the
republican party" said Mr.. Jansen. Where
ever / stopped cattemen came to me and
told me they were going to vote for Reese.
There appears to be a very general feeling
OF satisfaction in respect to the policy Of the
government and / was unable to find even
populst who had anything to say against
Judge Reese. On the other hand they are
dissatisfied with Holcomb. They look upon
him not only as chronic seeker after office.
but man unfit for the dignfed position OF
Judge OF the supreme court.
80 far as l was able to observe" con-
tinued Mr.. Jansen. "all this talk about the
Germans and Russians being for Holcomb is
without any foundation whatever. The pop
ulists, of course, try to make them believe
that an alliance has been formed between
Great Britain and the United States and that
expansion in all directions will be the policy
of the administration l don't think such
assertions as these have any effect whatever.
The Germans are undoubtedly taking great
interest in the election and in many Of the
counties l have visited republican clubs have
been formed.
Satisfied with Present Conditions.
"The indications are that the republican
vote among the German Russians will be
heavier than ever before, mainly on account
of the prosperous condition of things all over
the state. The cattlemen are all doing well.
They satisfied with the policy Of the

At a regular meeting of the Plattsdeutsche
society in this city last night considerable
discussion was devoted to politics and the
policy of the administration was gone over.
This society is nonpartsan, yet when a
vote was taken last night those favoring
the republican policy outnumbered their op-
ponents two to one. A committee Of two
republicans and one democrat was ap-
pointed to go to Omaha and canvass the
situation to find out what the sentiment
is among the Germans in the state metrop-
oils.
Quite a number of university students
will leave for their homes tomorrow to
vote next Tuesday. All students who reg
isered at the primaries will DE allowed to
vote in Lincoln. but many preferred to
cast their votes at their own homes.
decision of the supreme court gives univer-
sty and college students considerable lati-
tude in this respect and mikes it possible
for them to vote either where the college
is located or where their parents reside.
