CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.

NuckoHs County Herald: Mr.. Adams is
so we'll known that he needs no introduce
tion TO the citizens OF Nuckolls county.
We take a just pride and pleasure that we
have SO intelligent and clean a man to
recommend for the nomination OF congress-
man from the Fifth district.
wausa Gazette: Judge Kinkaid of Holt
county, who has made two unsuccessful
races for congress from the big Third, is
a prominent candidate for nomination
again this fall. 1.-THE third time is the
charm" and 1t would surprise no one to
see the Judge occupy the coveted seat in
our next congress.
Wausa Enterprise-Herald: Senator
Young has many friends among the news
paper boys. Some Of them are urging him
to be a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation Of congressman from the big Third,
while others are boosting him towards the
gubernatorial chair. AS for us, we would
be glad to see hin in either position.
Pender Republic: H. G. Vail Of Albion,
Boone county, was in Fender Tuesday get
ting acquainted with some Of the repub-
lican workers. Mr.. Vail is a candidate for
congress from this district and is looking
up the situation politically. He is a pleas
ant gentleman to meet, one who makes
friends wherever he goes. He is one of the
leading attorneys in the county and has
long been a wheel-horse in republican polit-
ical work in his home and surrounding
counties, and should the nomination go to
him 1t will not be unworthily bestowed.
Stanton Picket: The candidacy Of sena-
tor w. W. Young for congress is attract
ing attention throughout the district, and
It is that sort Of attention which BODIES
we'll for his nomination. His ability is
recognized and admitted by all. Each day
brings additional expressions hoping for
the success of his candidacy and pledges
Of support. He may not be nominated on
the first or second ballots, but present in
dications are that as soon as compliments
have been passed and the convention set
ties down to actual busine his nomina-
ton will be speedy. What the repub-
licans want is a candidate with ability both
In a business and oratorical way. With
such a candidate they can win and 1t now
looks as though a large majority were
counting on Mr.. Young as the man who
possesses these requirements to the fullest
extent. II he is nominated his election
will surely follow.
Randolph Times: The day has passed
when 1t Is thought that no one but a law
yer should have a seat In congress. In
these days we need the worker. the man
who gets his measure through and attends
to the wants Of his constituents. Such a
man is j. F. Jenal. He Is a man who makes
votes; as a campaigner there is none bet
ter; he has the Endorsement OF his home
county; he has no strings about his neck
because of a record In state politics; he
has repeatedly overcome fusion opposition
at home; he was a candidate two years
ago, withdrew In favor OF John r. Hays
and made the nominating speech; he has
a wide acquaintance and many prominent
friends In the district; II nominated two
years ago he would have been elected; he
Will come before the convention with a
strong following that must rec
ignition; he comes from a section that
should have recognition at the hands OF
the party; he rs a man that will know
YOU at ali times, and from every View
point is ]. F. Jenal the logical candidate!
Plainview Republican,: julie Jenal. the
Cedar county candidate for congress, is a
native OF that county. He was born and
raised there; knows every foot Of land and
every inhabitant. For these reasons he has
succeeded in being elected 10 the office Of
county clerk on three different occasions.
AS Cedar is a demo-pop county his friends
claim that he is a born politician and that
II he were nominated that he would make
the big Third turn a complete political
somersault. We do not think so. A man
may make a house-to-house canvass OF his
native county in four weeks and overcome
a slight fusion majority, but 1t must be re-
membered that there are eighteen counties
in this congressional district and the nomi-
nee must be a man who is a good public
speaker, able to discuss national questions.
This JenaI is not competent to do. A still
hunt candidate pitted against an able
speaker like Robinson. who has the issues
OF the day on the end Of his tongue, would
have no chance to win. We believe 1t is
time to call on all such booms as this,
which cannot serve any good purpose. Those
behind the boom with axes to grind should
| consider party success more than they do
and boom a winner.
Dakota County Record: The congress
sional situation is fast assuming definite
shape in this district and the various candi-
dates are leading a strenuous life. 1t Is
now a foregone conclusion that John s
Robinson will be renominated by the demo-
Gratis. The republicans, however, feel con-
hdent that the republican nominee will bs
/ elected, provided a strong man is nomi'
mated. There are several avowed candi-
dates for the honor. and several Others
have been mentioned in connection as avail
able timber. Among the latter has beer
Judge William F.. Warner OF Dakota City
While the Judge is not an avowed candidate
yet the Record feels inclined to the BELLE
that no man in the district is better htteC
for the position than he. Judge Warner Il
a man Of splendid physique, in height sil
feet. and we'll proportioned. and with a vel
balanced head on his shoulders. He is 81
years old. thirty-four OF which have beef
spent In Nebraska. consequently he is es.
sentialIy a Nebraska product. Judge War
ner Is a good speaker and a hard worker
AS a campaigner the Record doubts IL hi
equal IAN be found In the district. He wOul'
carry his own county by 800 majority
