srArE PREss OPINION.

Bradshaw Republican: "Get-ths-s-Quick
trains are nearly as hazardous as Est-rich-
quick schemes" says The Omaha Bee
why not add the -efucay7n-q-ick
fad also. az most dangerous and hazardous
Norfolk Press: Is there a lawyer IN
Nebraska with brains enough % be Judge
% the supreme court who hasn't ridden on
a pass Wen. hardly. The conventions
will simply have % pat the boys on pro
baton and make them promise 20 be good.
Blue Springs Sentinel: While the supreme
court cid not concur with the last session
% the state legislature on Tire biennial cleo
ton laws as % their constitutioualty they
did definitely settle one question. and that
f. state associations ot county officers will
not need % be charged any farther with
the purchasing Of votes for the passing
Of another act as long as we have the
present constitution.
Lincoln Journal: For information % the
voters Of the First congressional district
It can be stated that the republicans Of
Lancaster county are standing up for Pol
lard Just as soldly as they could II he
lived here. They had a good deal to do
with his nomination. as everybody knows
and IL will be matter Of pride with them
to give the nominee a handsome majority
state.
Fremont Tribune: II looks very much
as though Senator Willard was trying 70
duck in the matter Of that Dakota CITY
Homer & Southwestern deal 10 obstruct
the crossing Of the winnebago reservation
by the Great Northern road. He can
scarcely hope to get the Dodge county
delegs don in the next state convention
TO support him for denomination II he beats
US out OF the new road upon which we
have set our hearts.
Wayne Herald: A non-partisan organiza-
ton for the purpose OF controlling affairs
Of state IN Nebraska with such men as
Bryan Hitchcock, Mike Harrington, W. V
Allen. Silas HOlcomb and Edgar Howard
as chief moguls and expounders would in
deed be a daisy. These gentlemen are all
good enough in their way, but to call them
or anything they associate in O.. with for
political purposes non-partisan is A long
stretch Of Imagination. II the fellows who
are suggesting this combination to lead a
non-partisan movement had included Gov
ernor Mickey, Rube SCHNEIDER, Ross Ham
mond, Robertson Of Norfolk and a few
others we could name then surely they
would have some cause for saying nom
partisan
Grand Island Independent: The repub-
lcans Of Nebraska will within a few
months have the opportunity to go on
record In line with the republicans Of the
First congressional district and they should
do 50 emphaucally. Three state officers
are TO be named-and this statement is
precise, because there is hardly any ques-
ton, II the party acts wisely, that its
ticket will be elected Before they are
named they should be pledged not to ac-
cept pass, nor any other valuable thing.
nor any courtesy from any corporation, and
the convention itself should heartily, en-
phatically and unequivocally declare itself
Tor the presidents policy OF extending the
power to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion to regulate and fix railroad rates
The republicans Of every precinct in the
state should now be exhorted to take the
matter up and 10 attend their caucuses
whenever these shall have been called. In
order that the demand for such declaration
be definite and certain. II that be done
there Will be no doubt as 10 the result in
the state, and it will have the tendency
to strengthen the president even with the
senate committee which has the investIRa-
ton In charge, and OF which Senator MIL
lard is a member.
