liam Stuefer has concluded to be q can
didate again for nomination before the
coming republican state convention in spite
Of his Infamous record in bond purchasing
deals. He is also doing everything he can
for his silent partner, Ezra p. Savage.
This is a pair Of invincibles that It would
be hard to I'LL on, but one on which a great

Lyons Sun: Good men in various parts
Of the state are being brought forward to
carry the republican banner this fall, sub
tect to the approval of the state conven-
ton. II Speaker W. G. Sears should de-

Tekamah Journal: Speaking OF the can
didacy OF John d. Haskell for governor, the
Fender Republic gives some reasons why
republicans in this part OF the state cannot
support him, but will support w. @. Sears.
The Republic says: "w. C. Sears Of Te-

exactly and he is so well known in eastern
Nebraska and the city OF Omaha, where he
will poll an immense vote and prove a sure

Who has a better right? There is much be-
ing said in veteran circles in regard to the
old soldiers being allowed to name the head
OF the republican ticket, and Captain Rus

Riverton Review: Last weeks issue of
the Bloomington Advocate announced the
name Of J. p. A. Black. as a candidate for
the once of governor. Since then we have
talked with many OF the people OF the state
n find that the candidacy OF Mr.. Black
meets with general approval. No one ques-
lions his ability or fitness for this impor-
tant once and II elected. few governors
would enter the ONCE with a better under
standing and a more comprehensive grasp
Of the duties and responsibilities OF the
once than he. While a young man he took
the advice OF Horace Greeley and came VISIT
to grow up with the country. He is a sue
cessful business man and one OF the ablest
lawyers OF the state. His long residence in
the west and large acquaintance over the
state. especially hts him for a peoples
governor. He is popular at home. easy Of
approach and his comprehension OF human
nature admirably adapts him to mingIe with
the masses with equal dignity. Being from
the central part Of the state, east and west.
his candidacy should, and. we believe. will
meet with a hearty approval
