CANDIDATES ron CONGRESS-.

Elvood Bulletlni Judge Norris seems TO
have the lead for the republican nomlna-
ton for congress in the Fifth district The
Judge Is a very popular man.
Tekamah Journali senator W.. w. Young
Of Stanton called on the republicans Of this
county the first days Of the week and made
many new acquaintances. Mr.. Young is a
candidate for the republican nomination for
congress from this district. He is q clean
and able gentleman.
Emerson Enterprise; The Dakota City
Record gives Judge william p, Warner a
strong endorsement as the republican can
didate for congress for this district and
states that while the Judge is not an
avowed candidate, yet no man in the dis
trict is better fitted for the position than
he.
Beatrice Times: The editor Of the Times
has been shown a letter written by Mr.. NJ.
+. Schultz Of this city to an influential re-
publican in another quarter Of the county,
announcing his candidacy for the repub-
lican nomination for congress In the Fourth
district. II is a clean, manly letter and
the republicans OF this district could go
further and fare worse than to make Mr..
Schultz their candidate for congress.
Burt County Herald: Senator w. w.
Young of Stanton, an a~spirant for the nom
nation of congressman before the repub-
lican convention Of this district, was In the
city Monday getting acquainted with re-
publicans. The senator is a gentleman of
ability aud good standing In the state. He
has been a resident Of this district for over
twenty years, has been an active repub-
lican. a good campaigner. a splendid orator
and a man with the courage of his convic-
lions.
Kearney Journal: Frank q. Beeman is
the only logical candidate for congress In
this county and he ought to receive the
hearty and undivided support OF the re-
publicans OF Buffalo county. II he should
not be successful in the nominating con-
vention 1t will then be time enough to rally
around the successful candidate. But I'M
til that is done It becomes the duty Of eve-y
loyal republican In the county to stand by
his home man. Mr.. Beeman ought to have
a delegation strictly loyal to him from FIRST
to last.
Leigh World: About every other paper
published in the Third district has a blue
pencil mark across one corner which indi-
Gates that there is an editorial announcing
someone for congress. Nearly every county
In the district has a candidate for the
place, but Of all Of them w. w. Young OF
Stanton seems to be in the best favor.
Some weeks ago this paper was one OF the
first to announce his candidacy and since
then he has been growing In favor until It
now looks as though his nomination is as
sured. 1t would be hard to find a more
able man or a more honest worker than
Hon. W. ". Young of Stanton.
Wayne Republican; H. c. Vail OF Albion,
a very pleasant gentleman and a prominent
attorney Of his section OF the big Third
district, was in Wayne a short time be-
tween trains last Friday. He Is a candi-
date for congress and you know It when
you have met him. Mr.. Vail would not
wish to have you expect to be thus i'm
pressed by the reason of his telling you
Of his worthy ambition, but then you know
there are candidates for congress and there
are candidates for congress. This gentle
man, who is the happy medium, is going to
have a strong showing in the convention
to start in on and more to finish on IL the
other fellows don't look out some.
Fremont Tribune: AS about one-third Of
the thirty-three counties OF the Sixth
congressional district have a republican
candidate for the nomination for con-
gress the newspapers in as many counties
are urging the fitness OF A.. e. Cady for
governor. Mr.. Cady made a phenomenal
run for congress in 1896 and the other
candidates for the place would like to side
track his candidacy at this time, This
fear makes 1t look very much as II he
stood a good show for the nomination. He
would doubtless be able to make the most
effective campaign for the election Of any
man mentioned and 1t is equally true he
would be a rafting good candidate for gov
ernor.
Fremont Leader: When the editor OF the
Leader first observed the name OF Hon.
l.. d. Richards of Fremont mentioned in
connection with the congressional nomina-
tion Of the Third district by the repub-
lieans, we supposed 1t was the overflow
Of some enthusiastic admirer of Mr.. Rich
ards, as 1t was understood he was not a
candidate. But since the frequent men
tion OF Mr.. Richards name for the place
brings him out as a candidate for the
people. 1t is another instance Of the place
coming to a man instead Of the mar hunt
ing the place. There is a great big list
Of men hunting the place, some good and
some otherwise, but our fellow townsman
is not one OF the hunters.
Sidney Republican; Judge NJ. p. Kin
caid OF O'Neill is making o determined
canvass OF the big Sixth for congressional
honors. The judge has friends In every
corner Of the district who will be much In
evidence at the proper time. He made the
race twice under adverse circumstance
and now that the republican nomination |
being equal to an election 1t seems to the
Republican that the district is yet under
obligations to Judge Klncaid. He is an
earnest and energetic campaigner and
makes votes wherever he goes, and to
know him and know him well is only to-
admire him still the more. He always has
that hearty handshake whether he Is on
the bench or in private life; he will be
found a strong man in the republican con-
vention at Crawford.
Baysrd Transcript: A good many Of the
newspapers throughout this congressional |
district are industriously booming favorite
sons as successor to Hon. William Neville. /
