publicans are making a strong pull to have
John B. Dinsmore Of that county nominated
for governor.
Galloway Courier; Sentiment in favor of
nominating A. e. Cady for governor is
growing In western Nebraska, and 1t is
possible the st. Pau man may be the choice
Of the convention.
Tekamah Journal. The Wayne Herald
says IL J. T.. Bressler Of that county is
nominated and elected state treasurer the
republican party will have no apologies to
make for his ONCE during his administra-
tion.
Burwell Tribune: Questioned as to their
choice for the nomination for governor a
majority Of the republicans Of this part OF
the state mention A. E. Cady Of St. Paul.
Cady would be a strong candidate and an
ideal official.
Silver Creek Times: William Robertson
Of Norfolk seems to be In the lead for the
gubernatorisl nomination, so far as this
congressional district goes, and he will
make a strong showing in the convention.
He's all right. Push him along.
Tekamah Journal: Peter Mortensen, can
didate for state treasurer four years ago,
is spoken Of as a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination again this year. II nomi-
mated this time. Peter. the party can do
better by you than they did before.
Custer County Republican,: Should the
republican state convention decide in favor
Of placing on the ticket a new candidate
for state treasurer, the Republican would
be pleased to see our ~neighbor, Peter Nor
Jensen Of Ord. secure the nomination.
Grand Island Independent: The otoe
county republican convention emphatically
Endorsed Judge Jessen of Nebraska City
for governor and permitted him to select
the delegation to the state convention. The
Otoe county republicans know a hrst-class
article when they see it.
Norfolk News: The more people who
come to know W.. NJ. Robertson as his
friends know him, the more will be ready
to support his candidacy for the republican
nomination for governor. He is the kind
Of candidate who has hosts OF friends at
home and wins others wherever he goes.
Tilden Citizen: Among all the repub-
licans so far spoken Of as candidates for
the nomination for governor, none seems
to have any advantage over W. NJ. Robert
son Of Norfolk. In the extreme northeast
corner Of the state, Speaker Sears has a
following, but with this exception prac-
tically all the North Platte country is en-
thusiastic for Rob"
Wayne Herald: Hon. John T. Bressler,
who is a candidate for state treasurer, is
meeting with success from all sources and
that he will receive the, nomination there
is little doubt. Mr.. Bressler's ability and
qualifications for filling the ONCE are we'll
known and he should receive the loyal and
undivided support OF the republicans OF
Wayne county. He will be the next treas
urer OF Nebraska.
Nelson Gazette: Land Commissions q.
D. Follmer has made formal announcement
that he will be a candidate for renomina.
tion before the state republican convention.
Mr.. Follmer has In the last two years
proven himself a clean and efficient ofHcer.
He is held in the highest esteem by every
one conversant with his Official work, as
we'll as those who have a personal ac-
quaintance Of long standing. His friends in
Nelson and Nuckolls county will use every
honorable means to bring about his re-
nomination.
Fender New Era: Speaker w. @. Sears
OF Burt county is entitled to the nominal
ton for governor above every other man
in the North Platte country. AS to the
ability and integrity Of Mr.. Sears there
is no question. Burt county has a right
to ask for and expect the support of every
republican In the Third congressional dis
trict to place Mr.. Sears In nomination.
Take out Burt county's republican strength
and II would be leading a forlorn hope for
a republican to run for congress in this
district. II has borne the brunt OF the
battle for many campaigns and has always
- - N.a-N-A - 49,
go republican. While Burt county's SER
vices have not been unappreciated, still It
has gone unrewarded. Now that II asks
for recognition 1t becomes the duty Of every
republican in Nebraska to reward II ac-
cordIng to its deserts. and place W. @.
Sears in nomination for governor on June
Is, 1902.
Ord Quiz: Although Mr.. Peter Mortensen
OF Ord has not publicly declared his cam
didacy for state treasurer OF authorized any
paper to say that he was a candidate, there
has been not a little comment favorable
to him for the place printed by the press
Of Nebraska. He is everywhere recognized
as a most excellent man for such a posi-
ton. AS II is by no means certain that
Mr.. steufer will be a candidate, and as
there are grave doubts in the minds OF
many republicans as to the wisdom OF re-
nominating Mr.. Steufer, II is not strange
that the republicans should be casting
about for a proper man for the place. As
we all know, who know Mr.. Mortensen
best. he is not and never has been a seeker
after once. He recognizes that 1t would
not be proper at this time to encourage
the support Of bis friends until the public
mind is more clear as to what had best be
done with Mr.. steufer. This he believes
will be settled 10 due time both by Mr..
steufer and the party generally.
Bloomfield Monitor; Our townsman, Hon.
s. Saunders, will be a candidate in fact
for the nomination Of state treasurer on the
republican ticket and the chances for Sc
curing the plum are by no means discour-
