Emerson Enterprise: Chairman William
P. Warner favors late republican state
convention and short snappy campaign.
Chairman Warmers head is level.
Chappell Register: The state committee
is being importuned by some to call an
early convention and by others late one.
Two years ago the state convention was
called in May and as a result had con-
vention from May until September. After
the state came the senatorial and repre-
sentative and then the county and every
body was tired of conventions and politics.
II we have a late convention delegates can
be selected to all the different conventions
at the same time and a short, crisp cam
paign would be more satisfactory to every
body except a few who would like to pull
the candidates leg more than once.
l. Crete Vidette-Hera 1t looks as though
there would be no dearth of republican
candidates for governor this fall And the
beauty of the thing is the excellence Of
the timber from which the state convention
will make a choice. Among the posslbili-
ties are Mickey, Mortenson, Dempster,
Steele, Rouse, Sheldon and Weston. II the
convention will delegate the power of selec-
ton to the Vidette-Herald 1t will accept
the responsibility and unhesitatingly pre-
sent the ndIlt VI Dutlubl VI NdSa
county. We have not the pleasure OF his
personal acquaintance, hut through his
service as state senator We became very
favorably impressed with his straight
forward frankness. his energy and ability
and his desire to do the right thing at the
right time. The state would be honored
with such an executive.
Albion News "a. w. Ladd): The editor
OF this paper appreciates the compliment
Cor ioke) perpetrated by several news
papers in Nebraska in mentioning him
a candidate for governor. For fear that
silence on our part might lead some to
think that we had a political bee in our
bonnet, we run the risk of being con-
sidered presumptuous in referring to the
matter. We have no political aspirations
whatever. We know as do those who are
acquainted with us. that we severa
sizes too small to fill the Office of COVER
nor OF a great state like Nebraska. Such
a presumptuous idea never found Judgment
in our mind. In making this statement,
however, we do not desire to be considered
so lacking in self esteem as to admit that
in comparison with some men who have
held this high Office we would be total
eclipse We hope the day of small calibre
governors in Nebraska has passed, as we
nave so many DTdlnyi DEodu-ulhueu shen
within our borders.
McCook Republican,: Since the announce
ment of Attorney General Norris Brown
that he will not be a candidate for re-
nomination for that ONCE there has been
suggestions Of candidate for that place
