up the refrain on this point within the
last few days with some very pertinent
questions The Syracuse Journal. pub
lished at the home OF Senator Arends de-
votes more than a column to a discussion
OF the candidacy OF Mr.. Currle, and, among
other things, has this TO say:

Whether the men who represent Otoe
| county in the Legislature will heed this ad-
vice remains to be seen. Most OF our active
republicans believe that they will. They
realize that the future OF the party in this
country and in the state depends largely
| upon the outcome OF the senatorial contest.
While all would like to see the deadlock
broken, they would deplore the election Of
men who could not maintain the standard
! Nebraska has created for itself in the SEN
ate OF the nation.
After spending three days at their homes
there is no doubt that the delegation is
fairly familiar with the prevailing senti-
ment and the people here confidently look
for change of favorites and a stcppage
