THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Emerson Enterprise: John S. Robinson
Is a very nice man, but in his three terms
in congress he has not been able to ac>
compltsh much, not even to secure rural
free delivery routes from Emerson. What
we want is a good energetic man like John
J. Mccarthy. who is in accord with the
administration and who is right on all
great questions.
Wayne Herald: A gentleman Of opposite
political faith remarked the other day that
that man Mccarthy was one Of the pleas
ATTEST fellows he ever met and, by George,
he believed be would have to vote for him
this fall because he was a splendid citizen
and an able gentleman. even though their
politics were dnerent."
McCook Tribune: Keep your good right
optic peeled for the returns from the Four
teenth judicial district, wherein Judge Nor
ris is best known, and you will see that
old saw. "a prophet is not without honor,
save in his own country smashed. He
will get a rousing complimentary vote in
his district, which will come In very handy
In swelling his plurality in the Fifth con-
gressional district.
Minden Gazette: Judge Norris is get
ting around over the Fifth district and
making friends wherever he goes. People
are satisfied with the policy OF Roosevelts
administrator and will express their APP
proval Of II by the election OF . congress-
man in this district in touch with the ad-
ministration, and who will assist in the
execution OF legislation along the lines OF
the presidents policy rather than one who
would be an obstructionist for the sake OF
politics. Judge Norris will be elected.
Beatrice Express: When Congressman
Hinshaw goes to Washington TO assume
the duties Of his ONCE he will do more than
draw his salary. Being a republican, he
will have the opportunity to do more, and
will certainly take advantage Of 1t. There
Is a very good prospect that all the con-
gressional districts of this state will send
republican representatives to Washington
this year. Voters who have seen the fu-
tility Of sending pops and democrats to the
national capital are Just about resolved
that it doesn't pay.
Stanton Picket: The man who thinks
that ]. ]. Mccarthy is not going to show
Long John his heels when the score is
crossed in November has not had his
trained ear to the ground listening to the
sounds which emanate from Mes home
corner Of the district. Northeast Ne
braska, by which we mean the northeast
counties Of this Third congressional dis
trict, are enthusiastic In his support. II

admired, and from his home county and the
counties bordering thereon he will receive
big mRjorities.
Wausa Gazette: The way ]. ]. MeCar-
thy is being received by voters all over the
district is causing Madison John consider
able worry and he is every day coming to a
more full realization Of the fact that he
has allowed his name on the fusion ticket
once too many. The people OF the Third
congressional district are a prosperous
and progressive people and are determined
to be represented in the next congress by
a man who stands for prosperity and
progresL and they are awake to the fact
hat thu republican candidate, ]. J. Nc
Carthy, nils the bill.
Falls City Journal: The attempt to
elect Howard H. Hanks to congress cannot
succeed. It is impossible, because our
people won't have 1t that way. Two years
ago tha2 realized that Hon. e. ]. Burkett
was a yuccess as a congressman. They
realized that their interests had never been
better looked after at Washington. AS an
evidenca Of their appreciation they re-
elected NJ. Burkett by 5000 majority. The
record Of Mr.. Burkett during his second
term he's confirmed the good Judgment OF
the voturn. Hanks is a young man. full
of ambieidn and unuttered speech, but that
is not whit the First congressional district
Of Nebraska needs.
Bayard Transcript: Hon. Moses P. Kin
kaid, candidate for congress, Hon. John
Reese Of Broken Bow and Captain w. H.
\ Corbin u Alliance will be among the hon
ored guests Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public reunion a couple Of days. We are
glad to snnounce this, as we wish every
voter in the district to meet our candidate
for congressional honors, Judge Kinkaid.
The Judge is one OF the best and most
pleasant gentlemen Of our acquaintance and
we want our people to know him person
ally. While the judge is not a brilliant
orator, he is honest, true and loyal, a good
friend, and will make for the Big Sixth a
capable aud honored representative.
Bradshaw Republican: Our fusion edi-
tors all over the Fourth congressional dis
trict are making great claims for Congress-
man Stark's ability to secure special pen
sion legislation for the old soldiers Of this
district. Just for argument sake we are
going to admit that Mr.. Stark has done
fairly we'll along this line, but In all can
dor we are going to ask our fusion brethren
to answer this most relevant question on
the special pension bill matter, and trust
they will not entirely ignore our question,
but will give us a clear and concise answer,
setting forth their reasons, etc. How many
special pension bills do you think Con-
gresham Stark could have succeeded In
landing had he been representing this dis
trict from March 4. 1898, to March 4, 1897?
We claim this question is relevant in this
case, and demand a straightforward an
swer. Our fusion brethren seem only to
see Stark in this good work, never taking
into consideration that a republican admin-
i~stration has had more to do with this
work Of special pensions than the doty
congressman could have done under an ad-
ministratLon Of his own party, which as a
party in the whole, dare not deny that
they are antagonistic to the pension sys-
