THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

Benkelman News: 1t wss clearly demon.
strated by the Lincoln convention that the
republicans are not to be bulldozed and bull.

Honesty prevails in our party and Il stood
against every political combine till the right
man was brought forward, then the conven-
tion went over to Mickey in a headlons
rush.
Bayard Transcript: The republican state
nominees are good men and true. This is
a republican year everywhere and the re-
publican candidates from governor to con
gressmen will be elected, as they should
be In Nebraska. Fusionists OF the demo-
popocratic brand will not be in 1t. Cheyenne
county republicans will give a good account
OF themselves in November.
Hoidrese Citizen: The republican state
ticket gives evident satisfaction to the re-
publican voters and a vigorous and united
effort should be made by Phelps county
republicans to give it even stronger en-
dorsement than was given the republican
ticket last fall. Fusion as exemplihed in
Nebraska means a combination Of political
parties, at the sacrifice of principle, for
the purpose Of obtaining ONCE.

against J. H. Mickey. II is evident from
the very tone OF their expressions that they
realize that they are up against the real
thing. The statement that Mickey ia an up
right and honorable man is one that will
not admit Of successful contradiction, and
no one realizes that more fully than the
Nebraska fusionists.
Scots Bluff Republican: o. B. Brown,
who lives east Of town, is we'll pleased
with the nomination Of ]. H. Mickey for
governor, having known him for years.
A man who has the endorsement of Mr..
Brown must be all right, else he would
not say so. Thousands of other good men
endorse him and say the republican party
could not have found a better or cleaner
man. With the support Of such men as
Mr.. Brown, he is sure to win.
Geneva Signal: The ticket is in many
respects one Of the strongest ever nomi-
mated by the republicans of Nebraska. Sew
eral Of the candidates are already serving
first terms in a highly satisfactory manner.
The several candidates will be discussed in
dividually as the campaign progresses. 1t
is a little early yet to worry too much about
politics and the republicans OF this county
ought doubtless to be allowed TO recover
somewhat from their spring siege.
NoTln Platte tribune: Not for a numebr
OF years has a republican ticket been so
strongly and unanimously endorsed as the
one which the voters are asked to support
next fall. There is not a candidate on the
ticket who will need a defense; not one for
whom an excuse Is necessary. 1t is a ticket
OF which every republican may we'll feel
proud, and one which appeals strongly to all
who want the affairs of state transacted in
a fair. competent, business-like manner.
Wayne Republican: The ticket nomi-
mated by the republican state conven-
ton is an unusually strong one. Especially
is this true in regard to the nomination
Of John H. Mickey for governor. The nomi-
nee is a man Of most excellent qualifca-
lions, thoroughly fitted to hlI the position
with credit to the state and honor to
the party he represents, a man who
Will not be pulled up by being nominated
to the position, but will recognize each
and every citizen the same as every other
citizen. Mr.. Mickey is a farmer, a banker,
an old soldier and a pioneer Of Nebraska
and his election is Just as sure as 1t is
that the sun rises in the morning.
