REPUBLICANS OUT FoR CONGRESS

North Platte Tribune: AS the time for
holding the congressional convention APP
proaches the show OF Judge Grimes re-
ceiving the nomination increases. The
people OF the district are becoming cog
infant Of the fact that he is the logical
candidate.
Plainview Republican: Senator Young
seems to be the choice Of the republican
editors OF this district for congress. All
or nearly all OF them seem to think that
Congressman Robinson is a hard man to
beat and that Young would be the most
apt to defeat him.
Wausa Enterprise Herald: W. w. Young
seems to be leading the candidates for the
republican nomination for congressman
from this district at present. Mr.. Young
is quito popular among the people Of the
big Third and his nomination we believe
would mean election.
Beeme= Times: Hon. w. w. Young OF
Stanton, candidate for congress in this dis
trict, was in Beemer on Tuesday interview
ing our people and getting acquainted. Mr..
Young was in the senate last year and did
good work for his constituents and would no
doubt represent this district in an able
manner.
Clay Center Sum-: II the Big Fifth gives
Clay count the congressional nomination
the popularity Of the nominee. Hon. s. W.
Christy, will give him an enormous vote in
this county and will give him a strength
throughout the district that 1t Is hardly
possible for any other candidate to aspire
to. There seems to be NJ doubt that Mr..
Christy is the strongest man in the field.
wausa Gazette: AS time draws near for
the congressional convention the situation
is gradually simmering down to a race be-
tween the two candidates. Brooks Of Knox
and Young Of Stanton. Mr.. Brooks Is max
ing an aggressive campaign and is sanguine
OF success. Knox county bias never before
had a candidate In the congressional Geld
and can be relied upon at this time to
spare no efforts in landing the nomination
for it's favorite son.
Western Nebraska Observer. Judge
Grimes is recognized as one Of the leading
candidates for congress from this district
and will 20 into the convention backed
by the delegation from every county in
his judicial district. Being personally ac-
quainted with the Judge, knowing his ON
cial record and high standing in the dis
trict and believing him to be the logical
candidate, they will leave no stone un-
turned to secure his nomination.
Valentine Republican: The republicans
| OF Cn6TTy county bQOulQ from ChuCub 10
convention exert every possible influence for
the nomination Of Hon. M. P. Kinkaid for
congressman from the Sixth district. Mr..
! Kinkaid is we'll and fsvorably known In this
1 district as a man Of brilliant thought and
exertlng ability which thoroughly qualify
| him to equitably serve his constituency. He
is a man in perfect harmony with the peo-
| pie Of the entire district and his nomina-
1 tion will simply mean his election by an
overwhelming majority.
Atkinson Graphic: The large number Of
prominent republicans seeking the nomina-
| ton for congress In the Sixth district indi-
Gates a general belief that the republicans
will win out IN the next election. Avail
able men like Kinkaid. Grimes. Cady,
Brown, Beemer and as many more who are
seeking the nomination, are not found in
such abundance in many congressional dis
tricts. The Big Sixth could, II required.
furnish capable and we'll equipped repre-
sentatives for all the Nebraska congress
sional districts, and a governor besides.
without perceptibly diminishing the ranks
Of splendid and representative republicans
who have their homes within its territory.
Hastings Tribune: With ell due respect
to the various candidates who are after
the republican nomination for congress
| from the FlILn OlBtTlCt, Iu0 lTlDuuo IL
Of the opinion that the strongest man in
the field today is W. p. McCreary. This
in not said simply because he halls from
Hastings; far from It, but because OF his
splendid ability. his excellent. inimitahle
and effective campaign work. He has
stumped the state for the republican party
for the last fifteen years and has always
worked for the election and advancement
of others; and his only fault is that he
has neglected TO pull for himself instead OF
constantly boosting for others. II the
republicans who convene here 10 eonven-
tion on the 10th OF June should honor Mr..
McCreary with the nomination II will be
placing honors where they rightfully be-
long and they will never have occasion
to feel otherwise than proud OF their can
didate.
Kearney Hub; The Hub is assured by a
friend OF A. r. Cady that he will not under
any circumstances be a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor. This
statement is called up by several para
graphs that have recently appeared in the
Hub and that have called out favorable
Comment from other republican papers.
This informant states that he entsred the
canvass for the congressional nomination
very reluctantly. but now that be is in II
ia in to stay, and that he Is mot a man
who Is likely TO change a course OF action
after he has decided upon IT." This being
the case IL is OF course useless TO talk OF
Cady and the goyernorship; and this brings
us back again TO the fact, or rather TO the
feeling that the man who will be nominated
for governor at Lincoln next month is not
yet In the field, although there are several
candidates. either OF whom would be ac-
ceptAble.
Superior Journal: The more the repub-
licans Of the Fifth congressional district
study the situation ana anaiyEe the vote
given to Captain c. Z. Adams in 1888. the
more certain they feel that be is the logical
candidate for 1902. His vote in 1898 showed
q gain over h fusion majority Of the year
