REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

Der OF the NeDTASkA leklhlhluIes ueCause ne
considered this measure for the best i'm
terests OF the people Of the state. There is
no sense in saloon keepers making a fight
on him as a candidate for governor.
Kearney Hub: The theory OF the political
enemies OF J. II. Mickey that a man may
be too clean and circumspect in his per-
sonsl character and habits for the gov
ernorship OF Nebraska is something quite
new in our politics. still the novelty Of
the proposition does not commend Il to the
sensible voter.
Kimball Observer. The republican oandi-
dates on the state ticket. except ]. II.
Mickey. are up for reelection, and during
the present term have proven efficient and
popular ~oflcials and are Justly entitled to a
second term. J. II. Mickey is the man
who should be elected governor. He will
give the state a clean and able administra-
ton.
Humboldt Leader: State Superintendent
w. X. Fowler is without doubt the most
energetic worker who has filled the ONCE.
He is an educator OF ripe experience and
has placed the schools OF the state on a
higher plane than ever and has made
friends of every section OF the state. There
is no doubt az to his reelection IL friends
Of education do their duty.
Plainview Republican: Mickey came to
Nebraska and grew up with the country.
He toiled on the farm early and late and
endured all the hardships Of the pioneer
days. That such a man should be called
n corporation tool seems strange until we
consider the motive behind the accusation.
Like many other men of strong convic-
tions. he has INSCRIPTIONS enemies, who do
not hesitate to slander him for political
effect.
Ainsworth Star-JournaI: ]. H. Mickey,
republican candidate for governor, repre-
sents all that is pure and good in politics.
He is an absolutely clean man in both
public and private life, and is free and
untrammeled by any pledge or promise
made to secure his election. He is a safe
man for the once of governor to which he
will be elected 0s surely as the 4th day of
November comes. Don't forget that state
ment.
York Times: Not a word has been said
by the opposition against Marsh, Weston,
Prout, Follmer or Fowler. They would not
hesitate to say it IL there was anything to
say. The state has been faithfully and
efficiently served by these men and they
deserve the endorsement they are sure to
get at the polls. II honesty and efficiency
are not appreciated there is not much en-
couragement for that way OF discharging
a public trust.
Fsirbury Gazette: In the last election
Judge Sedgwick had 5000 majority. Every
body knows this was largely composed OF
populists who were formerly republicans
and did not propose to become a tail to the
democratic kite. This should be increased
this time by the addition Of a very much
larger number Of populists OF republican an
tecedents. If they do come home, where
they naturally belong, Mickey's majority
for governor should not fall below Q 1000.
st. Edward Sun: Have you noticed that
nearly every charge that is made by those
that oppose ]. H. Mickey OF Osceola for
governor are those who borrowed money
at his bank and gave a note for payment
and when II fell due they had feelings
toward the management of the bank, be-
cause they seem to get the idea into their
heads that the bank should not ask for the
money back again. We have investigated
some OF these charges made against Mr..
Mickey and we find the bank was very
~lenient, but was forced to use strong meas
ures to get It's money back.
Ainsworth Star Journai: Every person
in Nebraska at all interested in educa-
tional work must recognize the good work
Of State Superintendent w. X. Fowler.
He is honest, conscientious, obliging and
approaohable and an indefatigable worker.
His methods are up-to-date and the in
terest he manifests is inspiring. 1t is not
a question of his reelection but of the
size OF his majority. Every voter who
values education and desires to see his
own and his neighbor's children have the
best possible advantages should vote for
W. X. Fowler irrespective OF politics.
Loup Valley Queen: The fusionists over
the state have been tearing their finger
nails off during the campaign in an at
tempt to dig up something corrupt against
our mar Mickey, but SO far they have been
unable to unearth anything worse than
the fact that he is a church member and
a teetotaler. The writer has talked with
men who are personally acquainted with
Mr.. Mickey, and who have known him for
years, and they speak in the highest terms
Of hin, and say that he is the only man
to place at the head OF our state govern
ment. Kindly remember this next Tues
day, and cast your ballot for Mickey for
governor.
Ainsworth Sta~r-Journal: Nothing can de-
feat the republican party in Nebraska this
fall except republican apathy and over
confidence. The fusionists are trying to
move heaven and hell to get out their
Iuii NOto anu are engaged IN a most Btren-
uous still hunt for that purpose all over
the state. Every f~usionist is a politician
and every mothers son Of 'em constitutes
himself a COMMITTEES OF one to see that
every other fusionist Is at the polls. Let
every republican voter go to the polls
November 4 and register his approval Of
President Roosevelt's administration and
the splendid republican policies OF pro-
erosion and prosperity, and thereby sci
their seal of disapproval on the antediluvia1
or untenable policies of the mixed crowd.
