SENATORIAL SUGGESTIONS.


st. Paul Republican: Every railroad cap
per and apologist in the state is unalter-
ably opposed to the idea of sending Norris
Brown TO the senate. This is one of the
strong points i'm his favor
Alnsworth Star-Journal; Norris Brown,
II elected might make very acceptable
United States senator, but there is no need
OF tearing ones shirt either for or against
him just now. nor yet any call to climb
into the band wagon, IL anyone sees such
vehicle on the horizon. There are lots
of men in the state capable of filling that
position.
Fremont Tribune: The Bee is printing all
the nice things said about its editor in
connection with the senatorship. Perhaps
when the editor returns from his tour
abroad his son will have a boom worked
up for him. Mr.. Rosewater has always
given willing ear to senatorial talk In his
behalf He has never been known to dis
courage overtures Of that kind.
Friend Telegraph: Attempts to bring out
other North Platte men in opposition 10
Norris Brown are failing Ross Hammond
Of the Fremont Tribune has withdrawn his
name and is supporting Brown and Con-
gresham Kinkaid of the Sixth announces
that he will support Brown. while Omaha
does not seem to be giving Senator Willard
that support which it might be supposed
that he would receive from them
Tekamah Journal: No matter how Tabdly
the Lincoln State Journal Press associa-
ton may work Norris Browns candidacy
for United States senator there seems to be
silent demand over the state that the
honor shall go to an Omaha man. The
feeling Is that in Mr. Rosewater the editor
of The Omaha Bee, republicans would find
an ideal man for the position, one who has
always used his paper to advance Nebraska
and Nebraskas interests.
Atkinson Graphic: The republicans of
Buffalo county, the home of Norris Brown.
held a mass meeting at Kearney on the
February Is and pledged him their hearty
support in his candidacy for United States
senator. Such expressions from his friends
and neighbors which pay tribute to him
as a man strengthens the growing senti-
ment over the state that he is a good man
to tie to and would faithfully represent
the people in the United States senate.
Ansley Argosy: The Custer County Re
publican is wasting considerable space in
booming Norris Brown for the United
States senate. If the attorney general is
"bona-fide' trust smasher. let him show

trust. Nothing would tend more to the
growth of Nebraska than lumber at fair
prices Renters would become property
owners and the sod house would soon be a
thing of the past. Stock that is now forced
from necessity TO winter in the open would
be comfortably housed. NebraslSans de-

ally understood that the corporation tools
will make a desperate effort to control the
meeting of the republican state committee
! and baIk, If possible, the recommendation
/ OF a candidate for United States senator. If
/ the state central committee desires TO see
the party go down I'm defeat this fall, no
better means could be employed by them TO
accomplish that end than to take this back
/ ward step and fail to make this recon-
! mendation A word to the wise should be
sufficient.
! Central City Nonpareil: The railroad ma
| chine is said to be determined that the state
central committee shall not recommend
that United States senator be nominated
at the state convention. This method of
selecting senator grants more free ON and
power to the voters then the railroads deem
safe. There's no telling whom the fool
people will elect II they take the matter out
OF the hands of the eountrys guardians.
But the question is up to the state commit
tee and II the members Of that body have
any regard for the opinion of the majority
they will follow the precedent established
with such success last year,
Crete Yidette-Herald: Since Mr.. Rose
water has given up all his ambition to serve
his state in the United States senate and
has left the country to participate in the
postal congress at Rome, numerous papers
are throwing huge bouquets at him and are
actually urging his election to the senate.
When Mr. Rosewater departs from this
vale Of tears" his euloglsts will be numer-
Gus and profuse. II reminds one Of the
bosom friends and admirers, in these later
days of Abraham Lincoln. II old ABE"
could return to life from the grave he
would not be able TO recognize one out of
a thousand of these modern admirers. In
fact, about nine out of ten of them were
members of the knights Of the Golden Cir
Gle, and old Abe was commandments
OF a different kind of an army.
osmond Republican, A great many neys-
papers In the state have been crying out
Justify over the pass evil and are demand
ing that the next United States senator
be a man who is strong I'm the anu-pass
faith. The Republican is strongly in SYM
pathy with the anti-pass, anti-railroad
domination in Nebraska politics. and be-
lieves that the next senator should be a
man in sympathy with the growing de-
mands along these lines. There is one
man in Nebraska who has worked hard
ever since 1871 against railroad domina-
tion and control, who. to our mind should
be given the senatorial toga, and that man
is Edward Rosewater Of Omaha. The peo-
pie OF Nebraska know just where TO find
Rosewater on all these needed reforms, foI
he has spent his life so far in pointing
out the evils Of the railroad lobby and is
not an eleventh hour convert to the new
doctrine The Republican, would be pleased
