REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

winch goes 10 snow that the republican
state convention made no mistake in BE-
lecting a standard-bearer
Kearney Hub: John H. Mickey has I'M
doubtedly struck a popular chord or struck
the popular fancy as a candidate for gov
ernor. People are learning that Mickey is
one OF the real men that we sometimes read
about. but who are about as unattainable
as the pot Of gold at the base Of the rain
bow.
Chadron Journal: John H.. Mickey, the
republican candidate for governor, delivered
an address at Bordeaux which took with
the people who heard him. His words proved
him to be a scholar and a patriot, and that
he will make a governor Of whom Nebraska
may well feel proud we have every conf
dence.
Mullen Tribune: The republicans Of this
part Of the state are very enthusiastic and
they will 60 into the campaign this fall
with a determination to elect every candi-
date on the ticket. With J. II. Mickey for
governor and NJ. p. Kinkaid for congress,
you cannot make a mistake to vote FER
straight.
Tekamah Herald: The republican state
ticket is receiving strong endorsement from
the republican press. Those who have
served one term have made exceptionally
good records which insure their reelection.
As to Mickey, McGilton and Mortensen. the
new candidates, they are all good men and
sure winners.
Ord Quiz: Republicans all over the state
are we'll pleased with their ticket from top
to bottom. On the. other hand, the fusion
lists are a little at loggerheads and not all
enthusiastic over theft list Of Official as
pirants. The hardest dose is for the pop
ulists to stand having a democrat on the
head OF the ticket.
O'Neill Frontier: In the race for the
governorshlp stake the candidates both got
a fair start. The first lap has been covered
and Mickey is running splendidly ahead Of
the field and leading Thompson by several
lengths and still pulling away from him.
Thompson seems to be overloaded and run
ming with dihlculty and will be shut out on
the last heat.
Falls City Journal: The people who vote
for ]. H. Mickey will be voting their ap-
proval Of honest business methods and ex-
pressing their appreciation of conservative
industry. Mr.. Mickey is, and Of right ought
to be, the peoples candidate. He is one
of the common people-the only thing about
him that is uncommon is his business abil-
ity and good judgment.

Mickey is a farmer or not is all tomfoolery.
That question has nothing to do with his
competency for the governorship. The ques-
tion in issue is whether or no he has the
brains, education and training to fill that
position, and as long as the opposition has
at no time denied his ability and honesty,
it should be admitted that this farm ques-
tion amounts to less than nothing.
Arcadia Champion: To be real honest
about It, we do not know anything wrong
with Thompson, the fusion nominee for
governor. From all we know he is a pretty
fair man. But there is not one thing the
matter with Mickey. He is an old soldier
an old citizen of Nebraska. able, honest and
in every way fitted to be an ideal governor
Is it necessary to have an acknowledged
rogue on the ticket to elect an honest man
Broken Bow Republican: ]. H. Mickey

homesteader, and has built up a fair compe'
tency by hard work and good management
while his opponent on the democratic and

5 ticing law and defending the corporations
/ Both are good men as far as we know, blu
l which one Is most deserving of the publii
l patronage?
