THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.


votes to E. II. Hinshaw we fail to know
what they are. Mr.. Hinshaw is a hard
worker. will make an able representative
in congress and he is one Of the cleanest
campaigners the writer ever met. II you
want to help push along the wheels OF re-
publican prosperity instead Of helping turn
back the dial Of progress, get in the line
for Mr.. Hlnshaw.
Aurora Republican: The Register, which
is Mr.. Stark's official organ, is trying hard
to show up some faults Of Mr.. Hinshaw. II
hasn't yet succeeded in convincing anybody
that Mr.. Hinshaw is other than he is-a
perfect gentleman. a clean antagonist and
an open campaigner. We have yet to hear
that Mr.. Hinshaw has resorted to trickery
to secure votes or misrepresented the acts
OF his opponents in any instance. Mr.. Hin
shaw's campaign is an exceptionally clean
one and for that reason he is gaining new
friends everywhere he goes. The November
election will show with what popularity he
has met during his canvass Of the Fourth
district.
Nelson Gazette: There are many reasons
why Hon. G. w. Norris should be elected
to congress to represent the Fifth district.
Most OF these reasons are apparent to
even the most superficial mind. We have
no disposition to decry the merits OF Mr..
Norris opponent. Mr.. S"hallenberger Is an
able young man, a fluent speaker and a sue
cessful man Of business. His personal
character is above reproach. But 1t is not
OF Mr.. Shallenberger's personal character
that We would speak. The fact that he lie
an able mar is all the more reason why
he should not be reelected to congress.
A mediocre man representing false princi-
n1aa and aAuAnaNtn- Nn1n, rAIt,N1H L. nj en-
be feared. 1t is the able man, who, with
enthusiasm born Of partisanship, advocates
principles long since demonstrated to be
faulty and policies found to be r%uinous,
who is to be feared.
Kearney Hub: The fact that General
Barry Is personally an agreeable old gen.
tleman does not signify that he should
represent this district in congress. We
have had twelve years of ~populist repre-
Bentation with neither political nor mate
rial gain to the district, and good judg-
ment supports the demand for a change.
General Barry can vote with a small mi
nority and accomplish nothing for his con-
stituents. Judge Kinkaid will stand with
the majority which has brought US and
continued our prosperity, and he will be In
a good position to do more than the NEST
able representative that fusionism could
elect. There is not a voter in the district
who favors placing a check on the pros
perity Of the past few years, and yet a vote
for General Barry is a vote against present
conditions. Certainly by this time our
people ought to know better than to do
that.
Minden News: We want the voters Of
Kearney county to bear this one fact In
mind: Senator Dietrich introduced and
secured the passage Of the bill which gives
the public building to Hastings. Congress-
man Shallenberger is attempting to deceive
the public by stating that he secured the
passage of that bill. II is a falsehood and
the congressional records show 1t. Senator
Dietrich did more while in Washington for
the interests of his district than all the
fusionists combined have done in the past.
He has the interests Of the public he rep
resents at heart and the results show his
ability to perform what he undertakes.
Send Judge Norris to Washington with
Dietrich and see what two men, loyal to
the interests of their constituents, will &C
complish. You cannot afford to jeopardize
your interests by returning to congress a
man who w~illfully deceives the public to
secure votes.
Syracuse Journal: You don't have to
guess where the interests Of Congressman
E. ]. Burkett lie. His speech before the
county convention was a reiteration of the
progress Of our country under republican
administrations. Burkett believes in the
people and especially in the people of this
district. He has been a most unselfsh
representative, holding his concern second
airy to that Of the people of Nebraska. His
unceasing activity in securing rural de-
livery routes for the First district will not
soon be forgotten by the farming classes.
The people of this county, in spite Of the
fact that we have a home candidate" for
congress-, should show their appreciation OF
Mr.. Burkett's efforts and give him a sub
s~tantial majority at the coming election.
They should certainly recognize a good
representative when they have one and be
very loath to release him for one who has
never been tried.
Louisville Courier: When Congressman
Burkett called the postmasters Of Cass
county In conference a little more than a
wear ago to lay before them a plan he
had for establishing a complete system
of rural free delivery there were some
who were credulous and thought the un-
dertaking too large to consumate. Some
papers, we remsmber, spoke Of 1t as a
dream. There were no such things In the
west and how could Nebraska expect It.
But our congressman soon demonstrated
to the postmasters that he had his plans
we'll in hand. He outlined the entire work
and described at length how each step
should be accomplished. The postmasters
co-operated with him and the county sur
veyor assisted and the routes were laid
out and canvassed for signers. Then began
Mr.. Burkett's real fight for recognition.
It required a trip to Denver and another
to Washington, but the thing is done and
on October is there will start in Cass
county twenty-three routes that will serve
every farmer in the county with his mail
every day.
Central City Republican: In John j. Nc
Carthy the republicans OF this congressional
district feel that they have a leader, brave
self-reliant, incorruptible and capable. He
comes into the conflict with a reputation
= free from blemish and a personality in
which youthful enthusiasm is blended with
, Intellectual power and forethought. Tt
elect a congressman in whom they have
!, confidence and OF whom they are. proud
will give such zest to the campaign thai
, there will be no question as to the result
> but only as to the amount OF the majority
In a year Of great abundance and when thu
people are satisfied with conditions az the!
4 are, the lines are not apt TO be so Tight!
