THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

-
Lyons Sun: J. J. Mccarthy is the lad that
the people of the big" Third congressional
district will a delight in sending to
Washington
Stanton Picket: And now let every re-
publican in the Third district take of his
coat for the election of Mccarthy. Robinson
should be beaten and he will be II every
working republican does his utmost.
Beatrice Express: 1t is pretty near a
sure thing that Hinshaw will be elected
this fall. There is good reason to believe
that the republicans will make a clean
sweep in Nebraska this year and give fusion
q blow that it won't recover from in several
years.
wolbach Wave: Hon. Moses P. Kinkaid,
the nominee on the republican ticket for
congress from the big Sixth, is a man who
We are personally acquainted with and who
we know to be a man who stands as a peer
Of any other man in the district A vote
for Kinkaid means a vote for good govern
ment.
Ponca Journal: John 8. Robinson Of
Madison was renominated for congress by
the fusionists of the Third district in Tues
days convention at Columbus. This is as
was expected. Robinson couldn't we'll re-

wanted It. But It is very safe to predict
that this district will be represented by
another John in the next session of con-
gress and his last name isn't Robinson.
Hildreth Telescopes: The fusionists Of this
district have raised the cry Of election
fraud" against Judge Norris, the republican
candidate for congress. This cry, however,
based on an election controversy some time
49, L. 49, vo,rtoonfb ftndfotaI dfafrlck io
liable to prove a boomerang. Judge Welty, a
well known populist, says of the charge:
81 am a populist and am supporting the
populist ticket, but my loyalty to my party
does not go so far and to such an extent
that I will assist in imputing a crime to
one whom 1 believe to be innocent"
Tecumseh Chieftain: whenever you meet
q man from any part Of the district and ask
him concerning Hon. E.. ]. Burkett's can
didacy for reelection to congress he will
tell you: "Oh, they are all for Burkett
down our way" The brainy young con-
gresham from the First district has GER
tainly won the favor Of his constituency to
a marked degree. His recognition on i'm
portant committees OF the house is an index
Of his standing in Washington. a recognition
which he has compelled by his ability, In
tegrity and general grasp Of national affairs.
Will he be reelected? By about 5000
majority.
Fender Republic: John s. Robinson was
renominated for congress by the fusionists
at Columbus on Tuesday. The populist
convention first nominated r. A. Tawney
of Pierce county, but finally had to yield
submissively to the democrats, who insisted
on slick John s. That is the democratic
play this year-the nominees for all the
good Offices are to be democrats or they
will 20 It alone. The populists are gradu-
ally succumbing to their fate-becoming
democrats or leaving the party to join the
republicans. 1t will take republican votes
his fall to elect the congressman from
this district and ]. J. Mccarthy will get
every one of them and many pops and
democrats and is assured of an election.
Ohiowan: The nomination Of Hinshaw
for congressman from the Fourth strikes
terror to the heart OF fusion. True, he was
a candidate before, but it was at a time
when general discomfort prevailed and the
allied forces Of reform, the enemies OF hon.
est government, still rallied to the slogan
OF distress and refused to admit. that pros
perity had come to stay. Hard times Is
no longer an issue IN Nebraska. The farm
ers no longer clamor for legislation to raise
the value OF beef and pork or Improve the
grain market. There is now no demand for
relief legislation, but there is no less need
of wise craftsmanship In congress. Fill
more county republicans did not succeed
in securing the nomination Of their candi-
date, but they have no doubt OF the ability
and htness Of Hinshaw, nor will any EFFORT
be spared to elect him. o.
Columbus Edict: In renominattng John 3.
Robinson the fusionists have named their
man for the political sacrifice. If all the
counties In the Third district were like
Platte there would be but little use in
republicans naming a candidate, but Platte
is about the only county left to the I'M
disputed reign of Organism. Robinson's
home county has climbed up the tree OF
political wisdom and Is now among the
faithful republican counties. Two terms
would seem to mean retiring Robinson II
the sentiments OF the last election can have
a bearing upon the sentiment today. No
democrat can expect to be OF much service
to his district when the national govern
ment is republican. Robinson may be able
to do this district a great deal OF good
should the time ever come that brought with
II a democratic president. but as matters
stand now he can do no more for the dis
trict than any private citizen.
