sent the facts. therefore publish Mr..
Thompson's denial. VIII fusion papers who
have misrepresented the position Of Mr..
Mickey, the republican nominee, with re-
CARDS to the railroads, mistakably or pur-
posely, do likewise7
Minden News: The pop papers are stIi
running full OF the old gag about Mickey
being a banker" and q railroad" candi-
date. He is a banker and n nlir a-irien
a banker is usually about as good as a
lawyer. The only difference is that Mickey
made, first a successful farmer, then a
successful banker, while Thompson's sue
cess as a lawyar is not very widely cir
culated.
Crete vidette-Herald: This Democrat re-
fers to Mickey as q prohibitionist. Since
Mr.. Mickey never voted anything but a re-
publican ticket. and never afaliatsd with
the third party, why call him q prohi-
bitionistf II "a true he Is a temperate man
and q Methodist. w. J. Bryan is q temper
ate man and q Presbyterisn, but we never
heard the Democrat class him as a prohf-
bitionist. II one. why not the other?
Albion News: An effort is already being
made in certain quarters to turn votes
against Mr.. Mickey because he is a temper
ance man, or. in other words, a ''prohi-
bitionist." It is not denied that Mr..
Mickey Is a temperate man. and probably,
as regards his personal habits. is a prohl-
bitionist. He was a member Of the legis-
iature which enacted the present siocum
law, and voted for that measure. That is
his record, and judgment must be rendered
accordingly.
Benedict News-Herald: John H. Mickey
Is one Of those men to whom the term
"self-made" applies In all It's force. He
has tried his hand at a number OF things
and there Is not a single thing to which
he ever gave his attention but what he
made q success. He is one Of the men
that do things and he is the nominee Of
. party that accomplishes things. and when
he ia elected governor Of this state the
people may confidently expect that matters
pertaining to the governors duty viii be
lone with that expedition and success that
have characterized every step Of Mr..
Mickey's life.
Falls City Journal: Thu republican party
promised to s~traighten out the tangle, TO
manage the state institutions with all
economy consistent with q conservative
and buslnesslike management, TO restore
confidence by putting men In once to
whom confidence was due. Those pledges
have all been kept. and now when the
party comes before the people, ready to
stand squarely upon that record. with such
a man as J. II. Mickey at the head Of the
ticket. and the resi- OF the ticket made up
Of men Of recognized ability and unques-
toned worth. we feel that We are Justified
in saying that the republican party in Ne
braska is stronger than Il ever was before.
Tecumseh Chieftian: Hon. J. II. Mickey OF

Of Nebraska. was In the city last Tuesday

undoubtedly visit Tecumseh again during
the fall and will then endeavor to extend
his circle Of acquaintance,
David City Banner: The opposition is,
for the purpose Of making political capital,
