SENATORIAL SUGGESTIONS.


Beatrice Sun; with Rosewater in the
senate, Nebraska would at least be repre-
sented
Aurora Republican: A gentleman from
Kearney just at present seems TO have
lead over the field that puts all compeu-
ton out OF the running He isn't a dark
horse, though he's Brown.
Bradshaw Republican: The York Times
declares that it is for Willard, II it has
to stand alone. The Bradshaw Republican
is for Norris Brown because he is the
logical man. and because in doing so it
does not have to stand alone.
Trenton Republlcan-Leader: We believe
the western part Of the state is entitled to
recognition, but If the senatorship has to
go to Omaha, give us Edward Rosewater.
| He has views OF his own, and does not hest
tate to express them on any and all occa-
| sions
Central City Record: Mr.. George d.
Meiklejohn is back i'm Nebraska and would
| rather like to be United States senator. Mr.
| Meiklejohn is for the rate bill, favors the
| election of United States senators by the
people, believes in the nure food bill, in
short, he is strongly in favor of all the
reforms-at present.
Bancroft Blade: There is no doubt but
what Rosewater has enemies in every
| county in the state. but he is too broad a
man to take his spite out on the people,
and while he like any other being might
| square some personal grievances, the peo-
pie as a whole would not suffer. AS to his
ability, he has no equal in the state, fact
| that is admitted by his enemies, and COM
pared with Willard, Wattles, Greene and
Webster he is in a class all by himself
when it comes to representing the people.
Humphrey Democrat: After all the
| "hulabaloo" over the Nebraska senator
! ship, in which great halo has been built
! over the head OF Norris Brown, IL the
| republican party wishes to serve the party
| and state fairly, 1t will make Edward
Rosewater Of Omaha the successor OF
Senator Willard. Not particularly because
the honor is due Mr.. Rosewater by rea-
! son OF the long and untiring services rem
dered the party, but because OF his fitness
| for the place above the other candidates
| in the race.
| Neigh Leader: There is an apparent,
growing and strong sentiment favorable
/ to the selection of Hon Edward Rosewater
q. as United States senator to succeed Mil
lard. Regardless Of whatever else may
enter into the contest, and overshadowing
| ODleCUOnst IL lHe TACT llldl IL 10 QulNt ECu-
orally recognized that he would be able to
accomplish more for the state and rank
higher among his associates than any man
that has for years represented Nebraska in
the United States senate.
Waterloo Gazette: The Sioux City Jour
nal contains editorial reference in a recent
issue to the senatorial situation I'm Ne
! braska I'm which that paper points out
what appears to be a growing sentiment
in Nebraska for the selection by the re-
publican state convention Of Edward Rose
| water of The Bee for the partys pref
| erence for United States senator. 1t re-
views Mr.. Rosewater's fitness for the
duties of that position, his long service
to the state, his position upon public ques-
! tions now before the country, showing him
to have been advocating for many years
many of the policies now brought to the
front by President Roosevelt
St. Paul Republican: Although absent
from the state, being in attendance upon
the International postal congress in Rome,
| e. Rosewater is present in spirit and will
be heard from before the convention meets.
| There is no question but that the man has
lot Of friends all over Nebraska. Moth
ing is more natural than for the several
interests to combine against Brown, and
that combination must OF necessity be be-
hind an Omaha man and It might as well
be admitted right now that such an alli-
ance will be hard TO defeat. Therefore,
watch Omaha. And while you are about
it don't forget to glance frequently in the
direction of Edward Rosewater.
Arcadia Champion: without any attempt
or declaration TO the effect that he is a
candidate at all, Edward Rosewater is the
leading candidate for United States senator
from Nebraska. There are good many
reasons why this is true. In the first place
he is man who is well known throughout
the state and nation. Not as one who from
circumstances or accident has doomed be-
fore the public eye; not as one who is be-
