REPUBLICANS FAvORITEs.

Hastings Tribune: The Tribune would
not be surprised In the least IL the friends
Of Hon. w. E.. Andrews would soon start
a movement for his nomination for con-
gress in the Fifth district.
Superior Journal: Frank A. Dean Of Hol-
drege Is spoken Of quite favorably by some
Of the Fifth district papers for the omina-
ton for governor on the republican ticket.
Mr.. Dean is a prominent business man OF
that city, and is also its mayor.
Kearney Hub: Senator Arends Of Otoe
and r. NJ. Wetherald of Thayer are can
didates for governor, II Is said. II is also
announced that H. H. Wilson Of Lincoln
is a candidate. The first two are we'll
known to most of the state, but the third
party needs an Introduction.
Lyons Sun: Hon. w. G. Sears OF Teka-
nah has been prominently mentioned as a
probable candidate for the governorship.
We are not prepared to state Mr.. Sears
attitude toward such a proposition. but we
are confident that in ability and integrity
the state has no timber superior to him for
the place.
Valentine Republican: The o'Neil From
tier announces Judge Kinkaid as a candi-
date for congress from the Sixth district
and sets forth good and sufficient reasons
WAy Nv ohOdAu W hOIuludlCu. lhb htDuD-
lican heartily endorses the candidacy of
Judge Kinkaid and believes that is the
dominating sentiment in the entire con-
gressional district. No man has a more
valid claim upon the republican nomina,
tion than he, and no man would more. In
diligently represent the people of this dis
trict. He is entitled to and ought to be
given the nomination without opposition.
Columbus Times: Columbus, in present.
ing a candidate for congressional honors
that Is the peer of all aspirants, to say
the least, is simply the new Columbus way
Of being supreme In ali things. DR.. Homer
A. Hansen was born In Logan, O., November
2, 1872. He graduated from the Logan High
school June l. 1901. After a years travel
he began the study of medicine, and gradu-
ated In March, 1895. Located at once in
Platte county. Passed winter Of 1898 at
postgraduate school In New York city. In
1900 was six months abroad In schools OF
Europe. Received the degree of Master Of
Arts from northern Illinois college June /,
1901. In politics he has always been an
active republican. No better selection could
possibly be made for a congressman from
this district. 1t is unnecessary to state
that he is a thinking, reading. progressive
man, and that this district is, with a good,
clean candidate, positively republican in
this year Of grace. 1902, and the Times
believes that DR.. Hansen is the man,
Fremont Tribune: The Lincoln News an
nounces that Lancaster county has in H. H..
Wilson a candidate for the position of gov
ernor on the republican ticket and that the
candidate In question is such by his own
~volitton and that his candidacy will be in
dorsed by the republicans of the county.
But for the circumstance that the News
speaks for Mr.. Wilson and thereby creates
an impression that he is a Thompson man
and therefore a BARLEY candidate, we would
assume Mr.. Wilson's candidacy was meant
to be an sntidote TO check a movement in
that influential county in behalf Of Governor
Savage. 1t has been accepted as certain
that in some way Bartley's friends would
manipulate the county so as to help the
governor. The Tribune. without full knowI-
edge of the exact afnliation OF Mr.. Wilson.
would not wish to commit itself until It is
we'll assured he is not another string to
the Thompson Savage-Bartley bow. The
republicans OF this state are in dead earnest
about steering clear Of the smudge and
smireh and disgrace Of defalcations. They
don't propose to be steered up any blind
alleys If they know II.
Exeter News: The strong and independ-
ent republican papers OF this district, in
counties not having candidates Of their
own. are almost unanimously In favor OF
the nomination of Hon. Charles II. Sloan
for congress. They recognize this fact,
that 1t is a district containing nearly 200, 900
people, with a large number OF cities and
villages, and that the task Of making the
campaign is one that can be safely imposed
only upon a candidate OF large personal
acquaintance and q strong and effective
public speaker. The district, according TO
the vote last fall. was republican, but the
republicans can not expect to win without
a serious fight, and this years convention
will be only satisfied with nominating an
able e~ampaigner. They will further demand
that the nominee, when elected, shall have
the mental equipment and ability to sue
eessfully cope with the best minds sent to
our national house of representatives from
districts that have heretofore been prudent
In selecting their representatives. These
considerations make Charles II. Sloan OF
Geneva the logical candidate in this dis.
trlct at the coming convention.
