!! Governoe Of Nebraska
All members of the republican party
who believe in popular government as
opposed to machine-made nominations
are pleased with the candidates nomi-
mated for state offices and with the
resolutions and platform adopted by
the state convention. Only compare.
lively small proportion Of the people
of Nebraska are acquainted with the
nominee for governor, Mr.. ]. H. Mickey
Of Osceola, but he was opposed by the
Thompson machine; therefore, the pre-
suppOsition is justifiable that the next
governor Of Nebraska Is a man of
approves. What kind of a governor
he will make Will develop when he has
been tried.
In selecting a comparatively un-
known man the delegates ask the re-
publicans who 60 to the polls to vote
to take the guarantee of the convention
instead of their own personal knowl-
edge. As q whole the courage and
democracy of the convention was dem
onstrated. The conduct in Office OF the
next governor and the other state off,
cials nominated by the convention will
either prove or impeach its discrimina-
ton.
Many citizens of the state look for
ward to the day when the candidates
for governor nominated by both the
democratic and the republican conven-
tions will be distinguished men known
for their ability, breeding and culture.
There is surely every reason why the
state should have the services of the
wisest and best and the most honored
of its citizens. Such men gravitate to
the larger cities for the same reason
that the larger grains come to the top
when a shallow vessel of wheat is
shaken. The nomination of governor
which Mr.. Mickey has accepted may be
the shaking process which will bring
into the field of vision the figure of an
able, noble chief executive of the state

lonesome and occasionally embittered
by the reflection that of all his coun-

The governor represents the state on
national occasions. He should, there
fDre, embody the graces of the highest
type Of the Nebraska citizen. The
state has small average of illiteracy.
The governor of the state should have

At the present time the salary paid
by this rich state Is so meagre that il
1t were not for the honor we could not
get a fifth-rate man to consent to
spend his whole time in the service Of
the state But in the past we have
been served by intelligent, high-minded
governors, and it is likely that the
same sort of material will still be
available. Only, we ought to be
ashamed to get good men at a bargain.
The state is rich enough to be dignified
and to pay a fair price for it's most i'm
