REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

Norfolk News: Friends OF the LATHE
Giant" are becoming frightened. They are
afraid that Mr.. Mickey and his friends
are proving giant killers with whom they
can AFFORD to reckon.
Pawnee Press: Vote for ]. II. Mickey
for governor. He is a clean man. and a
fight is made against him by a certain ele-
ment in the opposition because he is a
clean man. stand UP for Mickey.
Chadroa Journal: II John II. Mickey we're
turned down II would be a slap in the face
! OF right living and a generous disposition
and all the elements that go to make the
best Of American manhood and citizenship.
Madison Chronicle: The editorial utter
ances Of some Of our esteemed fusion con-
temporaries Justify the inference that II
Mickey would load up with a good. old
fashioned, protrscted jag he would receive
their enthusiastic support.
Rushvllle Record: The ability and clean
illness Of the republican state ticket has
never been seriously questioned. All the
campaign SO far seems to be based against
the prosperity, sobriety and common sense
Of many OF the candidates from Governor
Mickey downwards.
Fremont Tribune: The statement Of
Hon. John H. Mickey In his Fremont ad-
dress a few nights ago that he had not
made a single pledge to obtain the nom
nation for governor and that he has made
absolutely none since. is an important fact
to be borne In mind by the voters OF Me-
braska.
York Times: There is consolation in the
fact that IL Mr.. Mickey is too good a man
to be governor of Nebraska that objection
does not apply 20 the fusion candidate.
II you want to vote for candidates whom
you are dead sure are none too good for
the ofices they are running for, vote the
fusion ticket.
Broken Bow Republican: There should be
no hesitancy with those who want an able,
clean man at the head OF the state ahairs
In voting for J. H. Mickey for governor
He has not entered into combination with
the rougher element to secure votes and he
can be depended upon II elected to give
us a clean, business administration
Harrington Herald: One Of the striking
| spectacles Of the campaign Is that OF the
third party prohibitionists joining hands
with the State Liquor Dealers association
to defeat Mr.. Mickey. one of the ~cleanest
men that any party in this state has ever
nominated for governor. The prohibition
lists must be extremely proud Of their po-
litical bedfellows.
KimbalI Observer: The people through
out the state are becoming thoroughly cog
infant Of the fact that ]. H. Mickey is an
honest, upright and successful business
nam with strong convictions OF his own
and plenty OF backbone to put them into
execution, and that is the reason so many
are going to vote for him. He will make
an ideal governor and will give the state
a clean, able administration.
Kearney Hub: J. H. Mickey is not tied
to any man or interest as a candidate for
governor. He is in every sense his own
man and he is every inch a man, the kind
Of man, in fact, that men delight to honor.
Beatrice Times: Mickey is making a
manly fight, and his majority at the polls
will justify the theory that the assailing
Of a good man in a political canvass usually
works the wrong way for the assailants.
Blair Pilot: When John Mickey got
through with his address to the students
at the University last week there was a
very different opinion of Mickey about the
school. There never was q maj more loyal
to the educational interests Of Nebraska
than has been Mr.. Mickey, and the cause
of popular education will forge ahead a bit
with his election. He has lived In Ne
braska more than thirty-four years and
knows the needs OF the people like a book,
Fremont Tribune: Dodge county will
take pleasure in giving W. X. Fowler an
other large vote for state superintendent
of public instruction. Two years ago the
voters Of this county, many OF whom knew
him, gave him their support in the belief
he would be a credit to the high place to
which he aspired. Two years Of service
in the ONCE has demonstrated his eminent
fitness for the place. Therefore, they viii
now support him. knowing their previous
faith was we'll grounded. He has nlled the
position with the highest success OF any
man who has ever held the place. This ts
generally conceded.
Blair City Times Tribune: The voters
Of Nebraska made a wise choice when
they elected Prof. w. X. Fowler s%uperin-
tendent Of public instruction. Prof. Fow-
Ter is one of the most thorough school
men in the state. He has exercised a
keen interest in school work for many
years, and since he has been at the head OF
the department OF public instruction he
has devoted every minute OF his time to
the educational interests Of Nebraska. II
"a admitted by those interested in educa-
ton the state over that the schools have
made splendid progress under his direction.
He is devoted to the work and allows no
opportunity to improve the system OF In
struction to escape aim.
Kearney Journal: H.. G. Andrews OF
Kearney was an army comrade Of John H.
Mickey, republican candidate for governor.
The two were the younger members Of the
company, and naturally drifted together
from first acquaintance. They became
chums and bunk mates. Mr.. Andrews says
Mickey was a moral, upright boy, always
honorable, always ready for any duty he
was called upon TO perform. A boy honor
able. morally straight. up to the age Of
20, is not at all likely to become a cor
morant, tyrant and shylock, as pictured by
the financially interested political oppo-
nents Of Mr.. Mickey. Voter, whose word
will you take, that Of a man who knew
Mickey as a boy and as a soldier, where
the souls OF men were sorely tried, or those
Of men who do not know him, but who are
engaged in traducing character?
