THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Wakefield Republican: As election time
draws near Hon. J. j. McCarthy's chances
Of being elected CONGRESSMAN from the big
Third grow brighter every day. Mr.. Nc
Carthy deserves to be elected and there is
ne question but what he will be-
York Times: Hinshaw Is making the kind
OF fight that wins. He goes and does Il
himself and then he knows It is done and
done right Wherever he goes he makes
new friends and revives old ones and he
goes everywhere in the district
McCook Republican: Judge Norris. the
republican candidate for congress. is much
sought for as a speaker at all the public
gatherings In this part Of the state and his
fame as an orator is not confined to this
district. but he has to decline all outside
| Invitations lately, as his available time has
been all taken DIP in his own district.
Pender Republican: One Of the strong
points in favor Of j. J. Mccarthy in his race
for congress is the fact Of his great popu-
larity in his home county. where he is best
known. The fact that he has always car
ried by good majorities his home county
which for ten years has been strongly
/ populist sttests the high esteem in which
he is held by his neighbors. A man could
| not possibly be thus repeatedly honored
unless there was extraordinary merit in
him to thus hold the confidence OF his
fellow men.
Chadron Journal: When the people call
on Judge M P. Kinkaid for a speech he
gives them a strong logical address full
Of truth and reason. He never has to
speak by proxy. Kinkaid is the man whom
the people Of the Big Sixth want to repre-
! sent them dnUn a. Waahfp04nn ~
don't believe II vote for him anyhow, for Il
wouldn't be possible for him to do less
| than KEN and Greene and Neville have
| done and Barry would do and everything
| points to the fact that he would Go vastly
more for his constituency than others have
or could.
Gordon Journal: Judge NJ. p Kinkaid
| the next congressman from this district,
was Gordon visitor last Tuesday. The
Judge wore an air Of confident expectation
and unless all the signs of the political
zodiac are reversed he will have a walk
away at the polls next November. Sheri-
dan county will give a majority vote for
Judge Kinkaid, now mark that prediction.
The Judge is well known in this county
and highly respected as a man by all par
ties. The people of this district, regard
less Of party ties, know that their interests

Columbus Edict John j. Mccarthy is
surely the strongest rival John Robinson
has ever raced against for congressional
honors and that fact is worrying Robinson
to no small extent. Platte county is the
one county in the eighteen that make up
the congressional district that can be
banked on to return a majority for Robin
son. This majority will largely decide the
election result. Platte will not return as
large a majority for Robinson this year as
In the campaign OF two years ago. which
will materially decrease the small ma
tortty Robinson had over Hayes in the dis
trict.
Ponca Journal: The Third Nebraska dis
trtct showed itself to be in sympathy with
the national administration at the last
presidential election by giving President
Mckinley about a thousand majority, yet
in the halls of congress the district is
practically unrepresented since the man
who is supposed to represent 1t devotee
his whole energies tc opposing the national
administration. The Third district is en-
titled to representation in congress; 1t is
entitled to the benefits It will gain by rep
resentation. 1t can have them by electine
Hon. J. J. Mccarthy to congress. 1t can
do without them by returning the present
congressman.
Alliance Times: Judge Kinkaid and his
opponent, Mr.. Barry, have been attending
public meetings together for some time
and 1t is touching to see the kindly
courteous manner in which the Judge treats
his aged opponent. A son could not be
more considerate and tender toward his
father than the Judge is toward the poor
old gentleman whom the fusionists deluded
into the belief that he could be elected to
congress. The fusionists showed a woefu
lack Of taste, not to say of principle, when
in order to give their ticket an air OF
semblance Of respectability they placed the
burden Of a nomination on the shoulders
of the poor old veteran.
McCook Tribune: The growing popular
ity OF Judge Norris, the republican nomi-
nee for congressman in the Fifth district
is most highly gratifying to the people ot
his home town and very encouraging to the
republicans of the district as indicating the
increasing certainty OF his election. The
Judge more than wears we'll; he grows
in the popular esteem with acquaintance
His speeches and meetings with people oi
the district are naturally resulting in the
enlargement Of his circle Of supporters ant
admirers. He compels and strengthen,
confidence among the people, who have
Just right to expect that he will protect
their interests to the limit OF his ability
and opportunity.
Beatrice Express: II 1t is worth while
for the Fourth district to have repre-
, sentative in congress it is worth while hav'
, ing one who can do something for his con
stituents democratic congressman is
pure superfuity when the administration II
republican. A republican congressman, anC
especially when he is a man of ability and
address, like Mr.. Hinshaw, can do things
for his district. Mercer and Burkett have
I been the only republicans from Nebrask'
in congress for some years and they hav'
done great things for their districts, whil'
other districts with fusion congressmeI
have been completely out In the cold. Vot
for Hinshaw for congress, and let US hav'
> a representative who will not be purely
a hgurehead.

y the fusion press are seeking to annoy Judg
