You can see them everywhere. There is
only one genuine, all the Others" are imi-
tations.
Bloomington Advocate: Judge Norris,
who is the republican candidate for con-
gress In this district, is winning friends
wherever he goes. He is not only a tip top
fellow, but he lie an orator able to hold his
own with any Of the debators in the land.
North Platte Tribune: Judge Kinkaid,
the republican nominee for congress, is
now actively in the field, and everywhere
finds conditions very favorable. In fact
the conditions are such that there is
any question but that the Judge
will be elected.
st. Paul Republican: General" Barry
made the mistake Of firing a few foolish
questions at Judge Kinkaid in one Of his
campaign speeches last week and the Judge
didn't do a thing but answer every one Of
them in a manner which won applause and
votes from the multitudes who heard him.
Geneva Signal: It is as unfair and un-
reasonable in the Gazette to charge that 10
johnson is to be E.. H.. Hinshaw's private
secretary as 1t would be to charge that w.
H. Thompson would appoint the editor of
the Gazette to be his private secretary and
uASW Nh0 accompany lhb VI N@fNNN
per year II he we're elected governor.
Fairfield Herald: The republican party
Of the district made no mistake in the
nomination OF Judge G. w. Norris Of Nc
Cook for congress. A man who has so
successfully made his own way to the
front as Judge Norris has done is the kind
Of man the people like to vote for. Every
such nomination strengthens the party, for,
after all. a party is judged by its actions
and not by it's platform.
SCOTS Bluff Republican: Kinkaid is the
man to elect in this district this fall, is
the almost universal sentiment in this part
of the district. While the Judge is not an
excellent speech maker, he is a worker
from the word got and when he takes his
seat in the lower house of congress next
March. II you want anything done and done
quickly all you will have to do is to let
your wants be known to Moses P. Kinkald.
Beemer Times: Newspaper comment ali
over the Third congressional district is in
favor Of J. J. Mccarthy, and II It is any
index to public sentiment Mr.. Mccarthy Us
safe in this district. Many of the opposi-
tion papers speak we'll of him and none OF
them seem to find anything detrimental to
him as a man. He is unquestionably a
good, conservative, yet active, man In pub
lie affairs and will be a safe man to send
to Washington. All indications point to
his election in November.
McCook Republican,: One OF the most
noted features of Hon. G. w. Norris ad-
dresses at non-political gatherings is that
they are not political speeches made in
his own interests and to further his own
cause. They are entertaining, interesting,
instructive and patriotic and enjoyed by
every hearer. of all political parties. 9TH
poor mans friend has the good taste not to
thrust partisan politics on a defenseless
public, and the aforesaid public appreciate
1t. The pubic knows what he is and where he
STANDS and will endorse both MIN and
his views next November.
Juniata Herald: To send a democrat to
congress, when the administration is en-
tirely republican, is about as wise as 1t
would be to send a Methodist to a Presby-
terrain conference. The Methodist might be
permitted TO lead in prayer once in a
while, but IL he began to ask favors. or de-
mand recognition, a couple of elders would
be apt to lift him up by the coat collar and
drop him over the transom. When Judge
Norris goes to Washington to represent the
Fifth district he will be in harmony with
the powers, and when he wants something
for his constituents he will get 1t.
Kearney Hub: General Barry want to
discuss the Issues OF the campaign with
Judge Kinkaid. So far 30 good. But when
the proposition is all summed up the thing
is so simple that 1t hardly rises to the dig
nifty and Importance Of Joint debate. The
only question is whether the prosperous
conditions that have been brought about
by the policy OF the republican party shall

the old regime of uncertainty, inertia and
general paralysis. 1t should not be neces-
sary to do more than ask General Barry
whether he is in favor of continuing those
conditions, or whether he would II elected
join with the democrats in congress who
again boldly advocate a policy of free trade.
Syracuse Journal: Fusionists are
| claiming that Hanks will carry this county
by 500 votes. These claims are large and
groundless. Otoe county has a clear
republican majority on a party vote and a
congressman is surely entitled to his party
vote. While Hanks is a resident Of this
county and some republicans on first
thought might feel that county pride de-
| manded that they vote for him, second
thought will readily convince them that IT
is their duty to support the administration
by word and act, and the plain way to do
this is to cast aside county pride, per-
sonalities and other side Issues and vote
for E.. ]. Burkett. His record in con-
gress has been clean and satisfactory, and
| President Roosevelt wants to see him re-
turned to congress.
Central City Nonpariel: 1t is for the
people Of the Third district to decide
whether they will have actual representa-
tion in congress or not. AS It stands now,
and will continue IL John S. Robinson is re-
elected, the Third district is, from a practi-
cal standpoint, without representation.
| Congressman Robinson may be a man of
fair ability, but arrayed as he is against
the administration and the majority in con-
gress, his constituents ann hope for
any practical results from his labors. The
Third district showed itself in sympathy
with republican policies by giving Mckinley
a majority. 1t should now demonstrate an
interest in It's own welfare by sending a
representative to congress who will be in a
position to accomplish something for the
good of his constituents.
Harrington Tribune: There are many
reasons why Hon. G.. W. Norris should be
elected to congress to represent the Fifth
district. Most OF these reasons are APP

We have no disposition to decry the merits
