REPUBLICANS LINING UP FOR FRAY

Wausa Herald: 1t is intimated that
Judge Boyd is making goo-goo eyes at the
republican nomination for congressman
from this district. Mr.. Boyd is a politician,
a gentleman and a vote getter. In a race
with John Robinson he would be an easy
winner. While we should regret to lose
Mr.. Boyd from the judicial bench OF this
district we feel satisfied that the repub-
licans could do no better than make him
their candidate for congress. The Gazette
should be pleased to support Judge Boyd
through a congressional campaign.
Holdrege CitIzen: There is a strong
feeling throughout the state that the re-
publicans must put up a candidate that
will not have to be apologized for. 1t may
be set down as a fact that II the repub-
licans will come out to Holdrege for their
candidate they will get that kind OF a can
didate. II the state convention would
come this far west and get our mayor,
Frank A. Dean. to head the ticket, We
firmly believe that Mayor Dean would give
the state as good an administration as he
has given the city of Holdrege the last
year.
Ord Quiz: when the name OF H. H. Will
son Of Lincoln was announced as q suitable
man for the nomination OF the republican
party for governor our thought at once ran
back to the time of Mr.. Wilson's graduation
from the State university. We were a stu
dent Of the university at the time and, Of
course, knew him we'll then and have had
our eye on him ever since in a manner. Mr..
Wilson was a good student and developed
into a very good lawyer. He is a ready
speaker, a loyal republican. a respected oit-
izen and a good all-around man. Put him
. dnuyn ac nna ~ fha apffahIa MAN for tina
place.
Ainsworth Star-Journal: Hon. Frank
BeeInan Of Kearney was In Ainsworth Mon
day looking up his chances for the repub-
lican congressional nomination In the Big
Sixth. Mr.. Beeman is oDe Of the brightest
young lawyers in the south part Of the dis
trict and II the lightning should strike him
the republicans will not have cause to re-
greet 1t. However, as Judge Kinkaid is the
logical candidate for the honor and entitled
to IL from every Just standpoint, Mr.. Bee
man should, and undoubtedly will, be
obliged to give way to the Moses Of the dis
trict, who will receive, as he should. both
nomination and election. Let it be Con-
gresham Moses P. Kinkaid.
Minden News: Since the state committee
fixed the time for holding the republican
state convention, the political bee has been
buzzing and working very industriously in
different parts OF the state, especially
around the gubernatorial chair. 1t is quite
generally believed that Governor Savage
will not be renominated and politicians are
on the alert looking for the most available
man." The western part OF the state must
not be overlooked in this matter and al
ready the name Of J. p. A. Black of Bloom
ington is being considered by many promi-
Dent ranuhIicana II Mr. Rlaak ia really n
the race and should be successful. no mis-
take would be made by the party. He Is .
pioneer in this part of the state, a man of
fine ability. successful in business, genial
in manner, positive and firm in conviction
and absolutely loyal in support OF principals
which he believes to be right. He would
make a good governor.
Alma Journal: While II is true that the
field is full Of brainy and good men seeking
the republican nomination for congress in
the Fifth district, among whom should be
mentioned Captain Adams OF Nuckolls,
Judge Norris of Furnas, McCreaTy OF Ad-
ans, yet in point OF ability to make q
good canvass and a successful run, the
candidacy OF e. Lowe OF Harlan is by no
means second. AS a vote-getter Lowe beats
them all. His record IN the legislature lie
a good enc, and as a committee worker and

himself a success. To Mr.. Lowe, more than
any other man in Nebraska, is due the
credit that the last legislature did not ad-
journ without electing two United States
senator's. All over the state the impression
was prevalent that there would be no cleo
tion and republicans were Respondent,
while the opposition were jubilsnt. Mr..
Lowe was the chairman OF the republican
caucus of senators and representatives, and
a determined effort was made to force an
adjournment, after having been up all night
and about a quarter OF an hour before the
election occurred, and II was only by tho
frmness Of Representative Lowe that the
attempt was frustrated, and the credit Of the
party was saved. We mention this simply
to show the kind of stun he is made OF.
Harrington Herald: A number of the re-
publican papers OF this part OF the state
are urging the candidacy OF Judge Robert
son of Norfolk for governor. What We have
heard Of Mr.. Robertson has been Of a very
complimentary nature and We have every
reason TO believe that he is a strong, clean
man and in every way worthy. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful, however, as 10 whether
northeast Nebraska can unite upon a Madi-
son county man, however worthy. There
is a strong feeling among the politicians
that Madison county should keen we'll back
toward the rear for awhile, at least until
the republican party Of that county can
make up its mind to treat a home candidate
with due courtesy. Madison county has
never been known to have a dearth Of
candidates and she seldom II ever has been
known 10 give a home candidate the full
party vote. The defeat Of John r. Hays
two years ago is directly chargeable to
Norfolk and Madison county and the repub-
lieans OF the Third district believed they
had honOred one Of hsdkon's strongest and
