Omaha daily bee., 1901-01-14

Osmond Republican; Edward Rosewater
Of The Omaha bee was hauled up in po-
lice court in South Omaha to answer. the
other day the charge of violating the cor
rupt practice law during the recent clec.
tion ne being prominent candidate for
United states senator. This deal Is as
abominablc IN the eyes Of fair minded peo-
pie as was the one where ne was called he
fore the supreme court for criticisiug the
Judges thereof. II will take more than tho
affidavit OF a South Omaha thug TO con
vince the people OF Nebraska that Rose
" vater is guilty.
Ashland Gazette: The miserable FARGO
resortcd 20 by the ballot box manipuiators
in having Editor Rosewater Of The Boo
arrested ON a trumped-up chsrgc is only
a piece OF insipid child's play. IL is on a
par with the arrest OF Senator Quay Two
years ago in Pennsylvania while the senn.
torial ballot was in progress In that in
stance ii defeated the election Of Quay for
the time being. but ho has an endorsement
from the people now that IL will be imposs
bic TO overcome. II this resort against Mr.
Rosewater has any effect at all IL will be 10
increase his strength.
Grand Island Independent. The action of
some of the enemies OF Mr.. Rosewater in
securing his arrest in South Omaha on the
charge OF violating the corrupt practice act
has been practically knocked into smith
Greens, as far as it's purpose was con-
cerned, by Judge Baker of the district court
giving Rosewater his freedom through a
writ of habeas corpus Some people ap.
pear to have little or no appreciation a.
to what that thing called Boomerang is

contact with one. which is not unlikely 10

kearney Hub: The gang OF disreputa bles
In Omaha and South Omaha who are seek
ing to smirch Edward Rosewater In CON
nection with South Omaha campaign frauds
are doubtless aided and abetted by men
OF supposed respectabilty who would not
like to have their names appear in print
and who would not dare to have their con-
nection with the gang known to the pub
lie. IL is disreputable proceeding, in
which democratic county attorney is ap-
parently and possibly quite naturally a
willing tool. Reputable republicans OF Ne
braska will not only not be Influenced by
these tactics and preliminaries of legal
/
lieve that the Omaha editor would be jus-
tilted In waging war OF determination
against the rogues.
North Platte Telegraph: The animosity
with which the opponents OF Mr.. Rosewater
follow him and the venom they display In
trying to damage his prospects to become
United States senator display a zeal and
an energy which could be expended In
more worthy cause. The last move OF his
enemies is to trump up charges against him
under the corrupt practice act and have
warrants issued for his arrest, thinking
probably this may have the effect of weak
ening the enthusiasm Of some of his sup
porters. There is no doubt that IL will
have an effect on his followers. but II will
be just the opposite OF what his traducers
desire, for every man who supports him
will redouble his effort to place Mr.. Rose
water In the senate where he can smilingly
look down on these men who harmlessly
snap and bite at his heels.
