Taylor Clarion: The Clarion seconds the
nomination of Peter Mortensen Of Ord for
state treasurer.
Hastings Tribune: When the republican
state convention convenes j. P. A. Black
will be there with the entire Fifth district
back OF him, and a large share OF other
delegates ready to push him along.
Beatrice Times: Bloomington has an ac-
tive candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor on the republican ticket. He is highly
spoken of by a number of republican papers
out that way, and it looks as II he will
have to be reckoned with by the other can
didates at the convention.
Harlan County Journal: J. P. A. Black of
Bloomington is receiving many fatterlng
notices concerning his candidacy for gov
ernor. Mr.. Black Is we'll known in Harlan
county, and no matter whom the republicans
send to the state convention as delegates,
they will without doubt be for him for gov
ernor.
Nuckolls County Herald: G. D. Follmer,
land commissioner, will be a candidate for
denomination before the republican state
convention. In the last two years Mr.. Foil
mer has proved to be we'll fitted and quail
fed for the Office he now holds and 1t is
hoped by all his Nuckolls county friends
that he will be successful in securing a
denomination.
Bloomfield Monitor: w. @. Sears of
-ekamah, a very prominent candidate for
governor Of Nebraska, was a Bloomfield
visitor last week. Mr.. Sears is a very wide
awake and progressive citizen and would
make an ideal candidate. The Monitor would
be highly pleased by having him made the
nominee. 1t believes him to be an up-to-
date, clean and aggressive man who would
make a model executive.
Norfolk News: The date for the repub-
lican state convention Is drawing near and
yet there is no apparent cessation in the
Robertson boom for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. He is the kind of candidate 20 APP
peal to the common people and those who
know him will support his cause with
energy, knowing that a creditable admin
s~tration Of the executive once is certain
to result II he is elected to that position.
Tekamah Journal: w. d. Haller of
Washington county announces that he Is
in the race for lieutenant governor to stay.
1t is announced by his friends that in
standing for second place on the ticket 1t
is his intention to in no way jeopardize the
candidacy Of any North Platte man who
hAbhN Do w Oat ~
a South Platte man is to have first place,
then he will be an aggressive candidate for
second place.
Kearney Hub: Republican newspapers Of
the state congressional district are taking
up the Hubs suggestion OF Cady for gov
ernor and commencing the idea. Mr.. Cady
Is announced as a candidate for the con-
gressional nomination. but 1t is generally
felt that he is needed for a gubernatorial
more than as a congressional candidate.
There is plenty Of available congressional
timber, but Cady is the only one who at
this time would fill the bill entirely as a
candidate for governor.
McCook Tribune: The denomination OF
State Treasurer Stuefer would be both cow
ardly and inconsistent In view of the recent
attitude Of many republican leaders and
newspapers. If there is any decent deter
mination to force this state treasurer issue
to a finish, a new candidate should be named
ard a new plank added to the platform. The
republican party should at the coming state
convention purge itself OF even the appear
ance of political high bindery." Make the
issue straight and fair and clean.
Burt County Herald: Hon. W. @. Sears
was rendered a handsome compliment in a
republican caucus. called by Committeeman
Anderson Tuesday evening, where he was,
by a unanimous vote. requested to name
the delegation from this city to the repub-
lican county convention, which convenes at
Oakland next Monday, at which time he will
undoubtedly be requested to name the dele
gates to the state and congressional eonven-
tions. This is evidence OF confidence and
respect enjoyed by Mr.. Sears where he is
best known.
HEaN4.NA. Ila ID nIanE
Of Bloomington, and Hon. ]. A. Piper OF the
McCook land ONCE, ex-secretary of state.
were in the city, Wednesday. and called at
| this ONCE for a few minutes. Mr.. Black
Ia prominently mentioned for the nomina-
ton for governor on the republican ticket,
and will undoubtedly make a strong show
ing in the convention. 1t is reasonably sure
that the entire Fifth congressional district
will line up for him and with that sort OF
backing he may be expected to attract a
good following from other parts Of the state.
Wayne Herald: The Republican and In
dex OF Carroll speak very favorable Of Hon.
]. T. Bressler in connection with the repub-
lican nomination for state treasurer. II
he becomes a candidate the Herald would be
pleased 20 see our honored townsman re-
ceive the nomination. 1t would be a splen-
did move for Wayne county and should he
be elected there would be no apologies to
OFFER during his administration OF the
states affairs. No man in the state Is better
fitted or qualified in every particular TO
make an honest and competent state ofneial.
Local pride should arouse our citizens to
urge his nomination.
North Platte Tribune In making the
statement that A. e. Cady Of st. Paul would
make a winning race for governor and after
his election would make a model chief ON
Ger, Il may be charged that We are trying
10 sidetraek his chances for election 20 con-
gress In the Big Sixth, but any such inten-
tion Is positively disavowed. The only OBJ
jeet in view ID to harmonic the various in
~terests so that the republican party can
