Beatrice Express: ]. H. Mickey's success
is assured. 1t remains for republicans to
see that his majority is a big one.
Bancroft Blade: Mickey for governor, Nc
Carthy for congress and fall for state
senator are a trio which will be hard to
beat.
Holdrege Citizen: with Mickey as gov
ernor and Norris in congress, with corn in
the bin and a roll Of bills that speaks elo-
quently for wheat, what more could mortal
man ask for than will come to the Fifth
congressional district next November.
Norfolk News: The fusion papers and
orators who express dissatisfaction with
the republican nominee, ]. H. Mickey, will
be panied to admit after the votes are
counted that there were not enough peo-
pie, by quite a good many. who held to
the same point Of view.
Lynch Journal: While Mr.. Mickey is be-
ing discussed pro and con it is Just as we'll
to remember that his ideas and life are in
line with the principles hat have brought
on present prosperous conditions and he
will conduct such an administration If
elected. And for that reason he will be
elected.
OBceOla RECORD. we hI6 Btdu OuE LusiOu
friends have opened up the pass question.
We know of considerable stuff that will
make "interestin' resdin' in that connec-
tion which they won't want to hear about.
We might have been too modest to men
tion it II the ball had not been started roll
ing by the other fellow.

he is a substantial man in every way and
inasmuch as wind is not a necessary
qualification in the governors office, there
is no reason why he should be considered
handicapped because of being short on
wind.
Stanton Picket: Did you ever set your
eyes on Little Giant" Thompson? No?
Well, he is not nearly as look
ing as his party papers have pictured him.
Neither is he especially handsome or at
tractive. Just a medium-looking, medium
acting man Of medium intellect, that's all.
No, not exactly all. There is this much
more: He will not be elected governor
Of Nebraska.
Crete Vidette-Herald You won't see
Congressman Shallenberger pointing the
finger of scorn at ]. H. Mickey and yelling
derisively, "He is a banker" Neither will

bowling, Down with Mickey, for he is a
farmer" Our fusion friends will have to
toe the mark and walk almighty careful,
for they are carrying liquid vessels on
both shoulders.
South Omaha Times: The Cozad Tribune
remarks that Hon. J. H. Mickey. republican
candidate for governor, is conducting 9
steady canvass, being constantly in attend
ance at reunions and public gatherings
which afford him an opportunity Of meet
ing the people face to face. AS the char
acter of Mr.. Mickey becomes known to the
people It is apparent that his candidacy
is gaining strength with the people.
Hastings Tribune: 1t will be a grea
thing to elect a republican governor and
solid delegation to congress. J. H. Micke!
will make Nebraska one OF the best COVER
nors who has ever been in the executive
chair. Judge Norris will make an ideal con
gresham for this great Fifth district. Max
up your mind to vote for him, even II 20
don't belong to his party. There is moth
ing better than having the best men In of
hce.
Wausa Gazette: Mr.. Mickey, the re
publican candidate for governor, is a ma
with s~potless record and a pleasing per
sonality. He makes friends wherever h
goes, and as time passes by the task be
fore the Little Giant" becomes daily NOR
herculesn. The absurdity OF the "~railroa
tool" how set up by the opposing pres
is becoming more apparent to the publ
each week and is acting as a boomeran
on the fusion forces. Mickey will b
elected by a majority Of $4,000.
Beatrice Express; Mr.. Mickey built II
first frame house in his county, and the
lived In II, and farmed his land. He hs
been successful In everything he has undel
taken. because he Is a gentleman Of thOi
qualities which command respect and COZ
ndence. and because he has the energy an
determination which win. He will be SUE
~cessful in politics, as he has been in Il
other affairs OF his busy and useful life, ar
as governor OF Nebraska he will add ne
Iaurels to his already enviable renown.
