making an effective campaign. The repub-
lican newspapers through the district all
give most encouraging assurance that he
will be elected.
Tekamah Journal: The cordial recep-
ton given ]. J. Mccarthy in his campaign
tour over the Third district must make
Congressman Robinson feel that even It
has become the "enemy's country"
Pawnee Republican; Howard H. Hanks,
the popocratic nominee for congress from
this district, says: 81 can beat Burkett
II anybody can" Well, anybody can't
beat Burkett and Mr.. Hanks may as we'll
trot away back and sit down.
Geneva Signal: The fusionists OF the
First district have nominated Howard
Hanks of Otoe county to run for congress
against Mr.. Burkett. Even IL he should
change the first part OF his name to Nancy
he couldn't beat Burkett. The First dis
trict will never stand for any such thing
as Congressman Hanks"
Albion Times: M. P. Kinkaid served the
people of this district for fourteen years
on the judicial bench faithfully, ably and
we'll and now after a few years rest they
are going to promote him to a higher
ONCE by sending him to congress, where
his abilities will shine as pronounced and
as resplendent in a legislative body as
they did in his judicial capacity.
Pender Republic: J. ]. Mccarthy met
with the old settlers here at their second
annual picnic Wednesday and renewed old
acquaintance with many of them and
formed new acquaintance with many
others. Both old and new acquaintances
Join with those Emerson democrats in say
ing that Mccarthy is the man for con-
gress and will give him hearty support.
Wood River interests: Judge George
Norris, republican candidate for congress
in this district. is causing the fusion lead
ers much anxiety lest he down their cham
pion, Shallenberger, at the coming cleo
ton. Starting as a poor boy on the farm,
Judge Norris has climbed the ladder till
he is a successful lawyer and a very popu-
lar jurist. Although in a strongly fusion
district he has been twice elected to the
district judgeship, which position he still
holds. His popularity with the people and
his aggressive campaign may we'll cause
the other fellows much u~neasIness.
Falls City Journal: Hon. e. ]. Burkett
has been in congress long enough to ao-
qpire familiarity with the duties Of a
member Thereof, and, having thus become
acquainted with the details, he is in much
better position to look after the interests
Of his constituents than any man can be
h yet has these things to learn. The
value OF experience in the house OF rep
resentatives is something that is Just be-
ginning to be appreciated In this western
country, although the east has long
profted by 1t. The people OF this district
cannot afford to lose the benefits of Mr..
Burkett's experience.
Norfolk News: The democrats will ex-
ert their best endeavors this fall to have
the people elect a congress Of that faith,
ana, II successful, two years hence they
will present the argument that now they
have the congress they Will need the presi-
dent In order to accomplish anything.
Such a scheme will not go with the
people, however. The thought that they
will have another ~do-nothing congress for
the coming two years will cause many
voters to cast their ballot for the repub-
lican ticket. The republicans have the
president and will be given the congress
II the people desire activity regarding ma
tional affairs. Vote for Mccarthy.
Sutton Advertiser News: Remember
Judge Norris is the coming congressman
and the people Of this district will con.
graduate themselves upon their choice.
He will be in political accord with the best

abled to do much good work for the dis
trict. Make up your mind now that he is
your choice and thus place yourself along
with the hopeful element. There is now
no occasion for holding calamity notions
or for voting for men who base their
expectations on calamity conditions. This
is an era of good times and is right for
every voter to get away from any poIlti-
cal combination that is not in line with
the best thought of the age.
Holdrege Citizen: More and more younR
men are taking an important part in the
different walks of life and in politics. Judge
Norris belongs to that large class Of young
men who are capable. self-rellant and are
always pushing to the front. In what
ever sphere he has been placed he has
proved himself worthy Of trust and has
proved equal to the duties imposed upor
him. From a careful study Of the men, we
are convinced that he would be a most ca
pable public servant and that the people o.
the Fifth congressional district would have
abundant reason to be proud Of their con.
gresham, II he was elected, and that they
might expect to gain some benefit by having
a man like him in congress.

Mr.. Stark ever claims to have done has
been to get more pensions, whereas the
traditional idea of the democratic party
has always been fewer pensions. Demo.

The democratic voice is not being lifted
in enthusiastic plaudits over Mr.. Stark

How many pensions would Stark get FOL

Beatrice Express; The people of thi
congressional district should be weary b.
this time OF sending representatives Il
congress who, being at outs with the ad
ministrattion and members Of a hopeless
minority. can accomplish nothing for thei
constituents. It is believed and hoped tina
Nebraska will send no democratic or popu

and 1t is pretty certain that Mr.. Hin
shaw will be elected by ar emphatic ma
jority in this district. Mr.. Hinshaw is 4
