THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Beatrice Times: He Is said to have de-
livered the best political speech ever heard
at Giltner. In fact, e. H. Hinshaw is press
ing on to victory on election day.
Ainsworth Star-Journal: NJ. P. Kinkaid is
one Of the ablest men in Nebraska and will
represent the district with much credit
to himself and his constituents. He will
surely be elected.
osmond Republican: Election day is
drawing near and the election Of ]. ]. Mc2
Carthy for congress from this district
seems certain. Mac is conservative and
not after a third term either.
Norfolk Republican: II you vote for j.
]. Mccarthy you vote for a man who will
look out for your interests in Washing
ton. Mr.. Mccarthy is able, conscientious
and will do what he believes to be right.
Money cannot buy him.
Tekamah Journal: J. ]. Mccarthy made
a good record in the legislature and proved
that he had the courage Of his convictions
and good staying qualities. His votes are
all recorded on the side of conomy re-
t~renchment and reform.
Norfolk News: The fusionists carried the
Third district for Robinson two years ago by
but IFS votes. Last year the district went
IOr the republican SJdI6 llChel ny d BOOu
plurality. This, in addition to the fact that
Mr.. Mccarthy is making a clean and win
ming campaign, should be a basis from
which to figure a republican victory this
fall that should be far from satisfactory
to the fusionists and highly pleasing to
the republicans.
Nebraska City Tribune: Congressman
e. ]. Burkett has made a tour Of his own
district and is perfectly satisfied with the
outlook for the party. So fully is he con-
vinced that the republican ticket will show
heavy majorities in the first congressional
district, from top to bottom, that he has
permitted the committee to plan a speak,
ing tour for him this week that takes him
away from his own district into each Of
che remaining districts in the state.
Ponca Journal: AS the campaign ad-
vances the candidacy Of ]. ]. Mccarthy is
growing in popular favor. He is making a
thorough canvass of the district and is Civ
ing his opponent the fight Of his life. Rob-
inson knows there is somebody running this
time and he is working day and night to
stem the popular tide that has set In
against him. 1t isn't a question now Of
McCarthy's election, It is simply a question
as to now large his majority will be.
Grand Island Independent: Next Con-
gresham Norris addressed a good meeting
of the republicans of Wood River last
evening and made a host of new friends.
He took up the question of tariff and the
trusts and clearly showed what Mr..
BTyan's ideas OF a cure of the trust evils
would result In. and lead to; how imprac-
teal were the ideas, etc. He held the
attention of the audience for over an hour.
The candidates for the legislature and
z,V.k aNN1.-A. uyAa, 49,, kVN -noI
no addresses.
Rising City Independent: Hon. z. II.
Hinshaw's political meeting at the opera
house last Friday night was we'll attended
and his speech listened to with marked
attention. He expounded republican doc
trine pure and simple and defined his stand
on the Issues now before the people as he
understands them. Mr.. Hinshaw is a
pleasant gentleman who does not consider
himself above the common people and who,
II elected, would, in our opinion, try to
serve his constituency along the lines as
mapped out by him in his utterances ex-
pressed before the people during the cam
paign.
Graf Echo: We believe that Mr.. Burkett
will be returned to congress. His record
at Washington is one that the people OF
this district should endorse and the ma
iority Of them do. He has worked for Ne
braska, his district and his government
with energy and zeal and has accomplished
much. He has procured for his district
more rural mail deliveries than any other
district in the state OF Nebraska can boast
Of. He is 9 worker, and a conscientious
worker, and when a voter casts a vote for
Mr.. Burkett-if he knows the mamie feels
a. though he was casting It for the beneht
/ 90 hIa cnHtnfrv hfa Htafa hIa family and
himself.
Ainsworth s~tar-Journal: That Judge Kin
kaid will be our next congressman is a
foregone conclusion. And there is every
reason that he should be. He is a lawyer
OF exceptional ability. acknowledged even
by the opposition. as by their help, when
the district was hopelessly fusion, he was
elected Judge several times. No one denies
his ability. and not one word is or can
be said to his detriment as a man, lawyer,
Judge. jurist, or In any conceivable way.
The only hope for the fusionists In this
district is TO try and make succeed a SOL
der" racket, a sort OF general racket, so
to speak. And what makes that SO dis
gushing Is the fact that 1t comes from a
political fusion that in times past have
yelled bloody shirt every time the re-
puhlicans put up a soldier candidate, and
never found any good among the boys"
save only when one Of them occasionally
had a place on their ticket. Now. we APP
peal to every thinking reader II this is not
the case? But then. Judge Kinkaid will be
elected as congressman from the Big Sixth,
and there will be hundreds Of good, honest
democrats and populsts in the district that
will help elect him, In utter disgust Of the
"Anythins-fOr-omce" fusion sIemsst.
