ron THE STATE TICKET.

York Times: There is no better candidate
for governor than John II. Mickey, nor will
there be. Everybody can support him and
be proud to do It.
wausa Gazette: The more we consider
the matter the more satisfied we are that
Judge Robertson Of Norfolk is the right
man for the republican nomination for gov
ernor.
Wayne Herald: 1t looks as though Judge
w. NJ. Robertson Of Norfolk would have a
large per cent Of north Nebraska with him
in the race for the republican guberpatorial
nomination.
Tekamah journal: P. L. Rork attended
the meeting OF the republican congressional
central committee at Norfolk last week.
He brings home very encouraging reports
Of the candidacy Of w. G. Sears for gov
ernor.
Grand Island Independent; The best sug-
gestlon the Independent has yet observed In
the matter OF selecting a state treasurer TO
succeed Stuefer comes from the Burwell
| Tribune and st. Paul Republlcan-that
Peter Mortensen OF Ord would make an ex-
cellent treasurer.
Kearney Hub: There are a great many
republicans who prefer that Hon. A. e.
Cady should be the republican nominee for
governor than a candidate for congress.
The party needs one OF it's strongest and
best known men as its candidate for gov
ernor and Mr.. Cady would I'LL the bill com
pletely.
Chadron Journal: One OF the most favor
ably spoken OF candidates for governor this
fall on the republican ticket Is Hon. w. NJ.
Robertson OF Norfolk. Mr.. Robertson came
to northern Nebraska in the early days and
since that time has been closely identified
with the things that tended to make the
state what 1t is today, always lending his
support where 1t was needed.
Tekamah Journal: Hon. w. d. Halter Of
Blair is mentioned by the Washington
county papers as a candidate for the re-
\ publican nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor. The republican party could hunt a
long time and not find as good a man as
"Blll' Haller. Mr.. Haller's candidacy, the
Journal is confident, will not be used by
him to in any way prejudice the candidacy
OF Burt's candidate, w. @. Sears, for gov
ernor.
Norfolk News: The supporters Of w. NJ
Robertson for governor are growing in
number and the enthusiasm inspired by bis
name is increasing in intensity and ferVor
C~ommendatory words CONF from all parts
of the state and the indications are that BY
the time the convention meets in June hC
will have a w~alkaway for the position
Such an outcome would please his friends
immensely and they would take of theil
coats and work with a will for his election
knowing that their efforts would result II
making a governor who would be a credit Il
the state.
York Times: Hon. ]. H. Mickey, beint
the only candidate for governor in thii
congressional district, is entitled to thu
support Of the entire district, and probably
will get the most OF 1t. He is about thu
kind of stun good runners and good gov
ernors are made Of. He served bravely II
the army, and afterward settled on a farm
near Osceola, where he has lived nearl,
thirty-hve years. He has been liberal will
his money, but has made a good deal, ant
SO has plenty left. He is an upright, sue
cessful man and has had some Legislative
experience, though he has been very littl'
In politics. He was in the legislature wheI
the Slocum liquor law was enacted and wa
a leading supporter Of the measure.
Atkinson Graphic: Several republican
papers throughout the state have given thu
Graphic credit for launching a goYernorshil
boom for Hon. NJ. p. Kinkaid. While thu
Graphic has done nothing Of the kind 1t hai
been a pleasure to note the response from
other papers, several OF which are nov
booming Kinkaid for governor under tn
impression that he is a candidate. This /
an error which re haven't time to trace Z
its source, but we have a lurking suspicion
that some Of the Platte country congress
sional aspirants could tell all about II
There is no state ONCE too good for MI
Kinkaid, but we may as we'll state RICH
row that he is not a candidate for any o
them, but Is in the race~foC congress 70
keeps. The people Of the Sixth distrie
need him to represent them in Washington
) and that is where they are going to sem
) him. So call of your little ruse, gentle
r men, and look elsewhere for gubernatoria
| timber.
