FOR THE STATE TICKET.

Norfolk News: Among the numerous
suggestions of candidates for state ONCE
on the republican ticket is the name of II
8. Beck Of Pierce. The Plainview Repub-
lican thinks that Mr.. Beck would at into
the state treasurer's ONCE nicely.
Wayne Republican: Wayne county
would certainly Join Stanton in a good, full
delegation for a state treasurer of the
Axen caliber. We don't want to have to
apologize for any one OF the nominees this
fall and with Axen on the ticket one OF
the two important places will be provided
for. Count on twenty counties Of this part
Of the state solid for Axen.
Wausa Eagle-Herald: S. Saunders OF
Bloomfield has many friends in this part
Of the country who are urging him to be-
come a candidate for the republican nom
ination Of state treasurer. Mr.. Saunders
represented this district in the state SEN
ate in the winter of 1856 and to say the
least he done honor to himself and his con-
stituents. Mr.. Saunders will be a strong
candidate and We should be pleased to see
him receive the nomination.
st. Paul Republican: The Burwell
Tribune presents the name of Peter Nor
Jensen of Ord for state treasurer. Mr..
Mortensen made the race in 1898, running
we'll with his ticket, but sharing the gen.
eral defeat Of republican candidates. He
Is well known to many Howard county
Danish-Americans, with whom he shared
the hardships of pioneer life, and is uni
versslly esteemed by them as an honest,
able man. His nomination would be in
strict harmony with the general desire for
a ticket composed OF clean candidates.
Fender Times: The Times believes that
the present state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction, Mr.. William X. Fowler
yes, a republicans the right man In the
right place. He is a thorough school man
and seems to have the ability to fill the
responsible position he holds as did none
Of his immediate predecessors. 1t is a dis
grace that politics should enter into the
selection Of school officers. whether 1t be
a member of the local board or the state
superintendent. Men should get those posi-
tions on their worth and not their ability
to corral votes.
Stanton Pickett: The Wayne Republican
insists that Agge Axen is a candidate for
state treasurer. Perhaps he is. We have
heard the statement made before, but have
no direct knowledge Of his being a candi-
date. This is probably due to the fact, as
alleged to have been stated by Mr.. Axen
shortly after his first election as county
treasurer, L0dL ne ulu nut luluh muCh "a
newspaper notoriety and that 1.-The Picket
did not elect him. l elected myself" Let
this be as 1t may. Mr.. Axen made an ac-
ceptable county treasurer, Is a home man,
and for these reasons If for none other the
Picket believes the delegation from the
county should be instructed to use all hon
orable means to secure his nomination.
Osmond Republican: 1t is with great
pleasure that we hear the name OF Hon.
H. s. Beck Of Pierce mentioned in connec-
ton with the ofice of state treasurer. II
the republican party of the state Of Ne
braska desires a candidate for treasurer
who can be elected and one who is entirely
worthy of the honor 1t can do no wiser
thing than name Mr.. Beck as its choice.
Years Of experience in practical banking
and close study of public finances have
made Mr.. Beck master OF his class In the
roll of men able to assume the trust and
perform the duties Of any public ofice.
We think Mr.. Beck is peculiarly fitted for
the high ONCE and we feel assured that
should his party name him as its candidate
his campaign would be a strong one. His
business ability, coupled with his pleasant
manner, would make him a popular can
didate. The Republican will gladly sup
port his candidacy.
