TALKING OF CANDIDATES.

Emerson Enterprise: Judge William p.
Warner Of Dakota City is receiving much
favorable mention for chairman OF the re-
publican state central committee. Mr.
Warner is level-headed and strenuous and
would put up winning campaign.
Norfolk Press The discovery has been
made that John II. Ames who wants to be
supreme Judge, is one OF Joe Bartley's
bondsmen. That will likely settle IT, The
BARLEY bondsmen can't run for ONCE any
faster than they settle with the state.
North Nebraska Eagle: The name Of
Judge William p Warner Of this place IL
being prominently mentioned throughout
the state for chairman OF the republican
state central committee. Mr.. Warner has
made a record in politics that any man
might feel proud Of Being honest, capable
and a willing worker the party would have
at its helm a man that would be a repre-
sentative Of the people.
winsde Tribune: 1t is early for any talk
about the next governor, but about the
most sensible suggestion as to the sue
cessor of the present nonentity yet made
is that John d. Haskell OF Wakefield be
drafted and forced to accept. While we
do not think Mr.. Haskell is acceptable to
the railroads, and hence is barred, yet II
lnls quiet bnTeWu llllle man was nOIll-
mated he would make one of the greatest
governors the state has ever had.
Lincoln Star: 1t is clear that John H.
Ames will have strong and formidable fol-
lowing in the republican state convention
for the nomination for Judge OF the SUI
preme court. His support Is not confined
to any locality. but his fitness for the place
Is generally recognized. Judge Ames' candi-
dacy started on firm ground with the unani-
nous Endorsement of the republicans of
Lancaster county. That unanlmity was
certified to the republicans of the state
by the action of the convention authorizing
him to name the delegates from the county
to the state convention, and It truly re-
hected the sentiment and VIII of the re-
publicans of Lancaster county.
Ashland Gazette: The Gazette desires to
suggest to the republican state convention
the name Of DR.. A. s. Won Mausfelde OF
this city as candidate for the Office of
regent Of the university. AS to the doctors
qualifications for the position, they are
above question. All through a long and
active professional career he has taken a
deep interest in the cause of higher educa-
ton. No one in the state has been more
loyal to our university, no one has It's
success more at heart, no one has gloried
In its power and prestige with more genuine
satisfaction. He has always entertained
high ideals for this great institution and
would bring to its business councils broad
! intelligence guided by a just pride In its
achievements and a fervent purpose to
make 1t more and more a bulwark of the
greatness Of our imperial state of Nebraska.
If DR.. Mansfelde should be chosen as a
member Of the Board of Regents no one in
the state would ever have occasion to re-
greet the choice.
Aurora Republican: Under the caption
Danger Ahead" the st. Paul Republican
sounds a timely note of warning. Editor
Perkins is one Of the far-seeing editors Of
the state press. He is a most consistent
and careful republican. And when he
| speaks against the nomination of ]. H.
Ames of Lincoln for the supreme bench It
| is well to give some heed to his remarks
| The qualifications of Judge Ames are not
| brought into question. Nor is his popu-
| larity or standing as a man deprecate ted.
! But there is a point made against the Lin
| coin man and that is that he was one OF
the signers of Bartley's bond. II such be
the case (and It has not been dlsputed) the
republicans of Nebraska cannot afford to
nominate Judge Ames. The BARLEY mat
ter has been the Jonah on the republican
| craft too long. 1t has defeated US when
we have deserved success To nominate
| Judge Ames, though he be the most COM
petent jurist the state has to offer on the
political altar, would be to tear open the
old sores and drag the BARLEY bugbear
out of its present hiding place into the
light of searching day. We dare not DO
this If we would elect a republican su-
preme judge this fall, We dare not depend
on such a candidate to head our ticket.
And we dare not go before the people ask
ing their support for a signer of the Bart
ley bond for supreme Judge when that I'M
fortunate matter is still unsettled before
the courts. There are other we'll qualified
and well known candidates who would
grace the ticket and insure It's certain
success. Let us make no mistake.
