next congressman from the Blk Sixth. It's
safe enough to bank on.
Falls City Journal: The man who is to
run against Hon. z. J. Burkett for congress
is evidently waiting for the once to seek
him.
Kearney HUB: General Barry has so ef-
fectually disappeared since he received the
fusion nomination for congress that II ls not
altogether certain that he has not been lost
In the shufie.
Wayne Herald: The election Of J, J. Nc
Carthy to succeed Congressman Robinson
does not worry republicans any. but a great
many are busy figuring on how much Mr..
McCarthy's majority will be. Most every
one puts It In four figures.
Wayne Republican, Will Robinson
make his campaign on national issues7 II
so, someone please tell us his subject. The
democratic party will also be pleased to
get a tip, as the whole gang down at head
quarters are desperately short on issues.
Here is a chance for Robinson to get away
up to the top OF democratic fame II he will
discover a national issue.
Wayne Herald; The talk now is that in
Wayne county Mr.. ]. j. Mccarthy win Sc
cure a majority Of not less than 200. A few

Robinson realize that the only way for this
section Of the state to secure anything is TO
elect a republican who is In touch with the
administration and who thus can ac-
oomplish something for his portion Of the
state. The farmers are beginning to real
lie this and the vote will be a surprise to
fuslonists In this county this fall.
Tekamah Journals: Congressman Robin
son has been renominated by the fusion
lists for his third term as congressman. II
the republican strength is all polled for the
republican candidate Mr.. Robinson will be
defeated. There Is no reason why 1t should
not, Mr.. Robinson, while a good, clean
man, has lone little else in congress but
secure information desired by his con-
stituency and aid In formulating and car
rying out plans to embarrass and hsrrass
the republican administration. No re-
publican should vote to continue such a
policy.
Norfolk News: The campaign has not yet
opened In the Third district sufficiently to
determine just how the opposing forces are
lining up, but from all appearances the
republicans are well united under Nc
Carthy's leadership and are assembling
themselves in a solid phalanx that will
sweep across the district in q fashion to
4 w. OpVOblllOh D6IOIO II 10 n mdkulu-
cent victory. The fusion forces that have
been dwindling through several campaigns
will dwindle some more this fall and the
district will again be in the republican
column when the votes are counted.
Leigh World; For the third time John s.
Robinson OF Madison has been nominated for
congress from the Third district, twice he
has been elected. but the third election is
where he will fall short. In the other two
campaigns in which Robinson figured the
district was hopelessly fusion, It is dinef-
emit now. The district is almost evenly d.
vided politically, with odds In favor of the
republicans. besides the republicans have a
strong and able candidate in the person OF
J. J. Mccarthy Of Dixon, who is clean, able
and a vote getter, and in the face Of all
these difficulties the fusion forces can
hardly expect to win.
North Platte Tribune: The Alliance Grip,
one Of the ablest democratic papers in the
Sixth congressional district, recently said:
"The nomination Of P. H. Barry, populist,
practically insures the election Of Judge
Kinkaid. Barry has been a lifelong re-
publican and quit that party to secure an
Office. With democrats 1t is a choice be-
tween a good republican and a bad repub-
lican, and, while a great many democrats
will refuse to vote for either, those who
do vote will no doubt decide for Judge
Kinkaid. who is a gentleman Of ability and
intellectual attainments. who will not de-
stroy his usefulness to the district by con-
tinually denouncing men capable of ma
terially aiding the district as enemies OF the
people. Deliver US from q republican popu-
list"
Broken Bow Republican: Judge Sullivan
exercised an unusual amount OF good COM
mon sense when he declined the nominal
tion for congress at Kearney last week.
which was twice rendered him by the pop
and democratic conventions. A salary Of
5000 a year with the honor of represent
ing the Sixth district In congress would be
tempting to most Of us and had there been
certainty Of the election the ONCE would
not have gone begging. Judge Sullivan
was not the only one that could interpret
the writing on the wall. Congressman
Neville. the present incumbent, declined
before the convention convened to be a
candidate for denomination and Judge West
over, who resides In Judge Kinkaid's dis
trict, positively declined to be considered,
and Mike Harrington. who was a pop at
Grand Island and a democrat at Kearney,
declined. 1t was when everybody else re-
fused to stand that the conventions finally
put P. H. Barry of Greeley on their ticket.
1t was evident they considered him a weak
sister, but It finally came down to him or
nobody and he was accepted. Since the
fusion crowd has practically conceded their
defeat in the opening of the campaign, 1t
is now only a question OF the size Of Judge
Kinkaid's majority.
Cambridge Clarion: The career Of Judge
Norris. the republican candidate for con-
gress In this district, should be an incentive
to every young man with energy and ambi-
tion. Beginning. as most young attorneys
do, In a country town, he proved himself
a lawyer In the true sense OF the word, by
his absolute loyalty and fidelity to his
clients and by the zeal and energy with
which he guarded their interests. No client
ever regretted employing George Norris; the
zeal and earnestness with which he went
into a case made success certain. Recog-
mixing his character and ability the people
of Furnas county made him county attor-
ney, Notwithstanding the fact that the
county was fusion by a large majority. The
same zeal of fearlessness characterized his
acts as county attorney, as did his
acts while in the employ Of other
clients. That personality, perseverance
and straightforwardness. which endeared
him to his clients and 20 the people
