walks remarked a democrat friend Of his.
But Hinshaw is relieving the campaign
OF the dull monotony Of a walking match.
He is running.

publican candidate for congressman. is TAX
ing a sort Of preliminary survey Of the dis
trict prior to making a general move against
the defenses Of his opponent, Gineral Pat
Barry.
Clay Center sun: The republicans OF the
Fifth congressional district have put up a
candidate for congress Of which they may
we'll be proud, and he will win. Judge
Norris wins approval on sight, and that
approval grows into appreciation upon fur
Their acquaintance.
Kearney Hub: The Alliance Grip, one
Of the leading popullst newspapers Of the
Sixth district, declares that the nomination
Of P. H. Barry practically insures the cleo
ton of Judge Kinkaid. The Grip is un-
doubtedly a prophet and 1t shall not be
without honor in its own country.
Humboldt Leader: No man in congress
could have accomplished more for his old
soldier constituents that has E. ]. Burkett.
and the indications In this section are that
the veterans almost to a man will gladly
give him their votes. They figure that they
could not have a better friend on the other
side, no matter who is nominated, and they
do not care to take any chances.
Fairfield Herald: Hon. George w. Nor
ris has enlisted the services Of Editor Mer-
win Of Beaver City as campaign manager
during the campaign, which he has already
actively begun. Mr.. Norris belongs to that
large class Of self-rellant, capable young
men Of enterprise and talent who have done
and are doing 30 much to advance the In
terests OF our great and growing common
wealth.
Bancroft Blade: A staunch democrat
stated to the Blade a few days ago that
he would surely vote for Hon. J. ]. Nc
earthly at the coming election for con-
gresham, and upon being asked to give
his reasons. he replied that we had had
enough Of do-nothing representatives from
this district, and what we need now is a
good. live man like Mccarthy, who will
be a real representative of the people.
Wausa Gazette: With prosperity abroad,

vote OF the district and an able, eloquent.

ance for our friend John Robinson. He
should. however, be of good cheer. After he
has seen his political hopes go glimmering
he can start a newspaper and begin to pile
up wealth the same as his noted contem-
poraries.

wednesday looking after his political inter
ests. Mccarthy is highly qualified and
should he be elected this fall we honestly
believe he will attend to his duties in a
manner satisfactory to all. He is a pleasant
gentleman TO meet and we predict that John
S. will have to do a great deal Of training
to win the third heat in the race for con-
gressional honors this fall.
Bradshaw Republican: Congressman
Stark is a SLY old fox Of a politician, and
knows better how to utilize republican
newspapers in keeping his name In some
prominent manner before republican read
ers, of anyone we have ever known. He
always has ready a batch Of prepared an
n~ouncements to make, such as cadet exam
nations, civil service examinations, etc.,
etc. These matters are not political of
course, and republican newspapers should
print them. But the question may properly
be asked, Why is 1t that these matters be-
come so numerous and urgent during con-
gressional campaigns, and not during of
years?
Valentine Republican: From every quar-
ter Of the Sixth congressional district comes
encouraging reports of the candidacy of
Hon. M. P. Kinkaid. Now that there is as
surance of his election people in the dis
trict are falling over each other to give
iii their support. Strange. isn't 1t, how
everybody wants to get into the band
wagon or go with the crowd when they see
success in sighti The Republican feels con-
hdent the people will never have cause to
regret supporting and e~lecting this dis
tinguished Candidate, and knows that II the
office is to be of benefit to the district in
securing legislation he is the man that must
fill that office.
North Platte Telegraph: The republicans
OF this congressional district have running
for congress a man who thinks as they do
that politics is business; that 1t is the most
sacred of business relations; that It con-
trolls our country, controls every business
interest in II and affects directly every
home happiness. He is great enough to

man, that he will belong to no sect or fac
tion and that his dearest and nearest friends
will be all Of our citizens, that their in
~terests will be his interests, their upbuild-
ing his daily care and work. The gentle
man we refer to is Moses P. Kinkaid.
Hastings Tribune: Judge Norris is a self
made man. An Ohioan who knows what
early struggles mean. Left with little means
he has worked out his own destiny SPLEEN
didly thus far. He studied law under dim
culties and educated himself by his own in
dustry. Twice elected to a district judge
ship in a section Of country where the OPP
position had been in the habit OF having
things their own way was a test of personal
strength not often met with. Honest, sturdy,
straightforward and an industrious worker
made him strong with the voters. These
great qualities will commend him to other
lawmakers in congress and give him a de-
slrable prestige. 1t is these qualities that
make a man influential among those who
constitute the United States congress. They
have made him strong at home and will
make him powerful at Washington. The
Fifth district cannot AFFORD to turn down a
man of the judges ability and energy at
this OF any other time. Barring politics, II
