REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

Syracuse Journal: ]. H. Mickey is Iuak-
Ing friends wherever he speaks. lie is
a man OF integrity and stability and will
add dignity to the gubernatorial chair.
Kearney Hub: The worst that cmI be
said for John H. Mickey, republican can
didate for governor, is that the oD9osi~
ton can't find anything real mean to say
about him. 1t makes the campaign a trihe
dull
Columbus Times: Several democratic pa
pers have discovered to their own s~atisfac-
tion that "W. H. Thompson will carry Ne
braska by an unusually large majority" Any
kind of a majority for Thompson would be
decidedly unusual"
Wayne Herald: State superintendent
Fowler need have no concern about his
chances Of reelection. He has proven the
most efficient and popular man who ever
graeed that responsible position. Even the
opposition press cannot find a flaw In his
record. He will be elected by the largest
majority of any man on the ticket,
Tekamah journal: Has Thompson, the
fusionist candidate for governor ever said
he was against the railroads and il elected
would oppose their wishes? No. The rail-
road vote and the sporting element will
go to Thompson and his managers hope to
scare a few Of the other fellows into voting
for him by yelling railroad" at Mickey.
Kimball Observer: ]. H. Mickey, the re-
publican candidate for governor, is conduct
ing a steady campaign and has attended and
spoken at a number Of reunions and public
gatherings and is making friends and gain
ing In popularity and strength every day. He
is a successful farmer and business man, a
man with a spotless record and a pleasing
personality. Mickey is all right and will be
elected.
Arapahoe Mirror: It seems to be con-
coded that the fusion managers will concen-
trate their efforts this fall to elect two men
on their ticket-Thompson and Shallen-
berger. They are men with strong demo-
cratic leanings and sympathies. The rest Of
the fellows must tax care Of themselves
while desperate efforts are made to a k
care Of these two mel with long democratic
pedigrees.
st. Edward Sun: The republican candi-
dates for state officers are all men OF eX-
ceptional character and need no apologies.
Our nominee for governor is meeting with
hattering success wherever he goes. The
only abuse that the opposition can make
is sneeringly saying that Mr.. Mickey is a
Christian man. we luiuh bhat "OuAN 10
OF benefit to the state rather than to be
otherwise. He is the right man for gov
ernor
Alliance Times: The fusionists see the
handwriting on the wall this time. Each
and every one of their frantic efforts to
escape the inevitable is but evidence of
the deep slough OF dispair into which they
are daily sinking. Mickey is going to be
elected to the governorship Of Nebraska
and Nj. p. Kinkaid will represent the
big Sixth in congress. These men are go
ing to succeed, along with a lot OF other
good, tried and true republicans.
Norfolk News: Candidate Thompson in
sists that Nebraska is a fusion state and
hat all that ails 1t is the stay-at-home
fusion vote. The poor man is preparing
for disappointment. Those fusion votes
have remained at home so many times
during recent years that many are coming
to believe that they intend to stay there
permanently-in other words, that the
stay-at-home fusion vote has resolved
itself into a phantasm for the purpose OF
leading fusion aspirants for ONCE on and
bracing up the spirits OF the faithful.
Sidney Republican: 1t is a source Of
much qualification to republicans through
out the state that the republican ticket
Is meeting with such united efforts from
republicans everywhere for the success
OF the ticket and that not a man on that
ticket can the finger OF scorn be pointed
Al. IL 10 the best ticket ever presented to
