Trenton Republicau-Leader rep.).
There is no question but that Mr.. Rose
water is the intellectual peer Of any man
yet spoken OF in connection with senatorial
honors, and It is in accord with the eternal
fitness OF things that there should be but
a step from the editorial desk to the senate
chamber. The molder Of public opinion is
certainly well qualified to make laws, which
are. after all, only the condensed express
sion OF the opinions and will of the people.

with Roosevelt on Big Questions.
Belden Progress (rep).

Edward Rosewater OF The Omaha Bee has
come out as a candidate for United States
senator. The Progress believes he would be
a good man for the place and would receive
the support Of the party II nominated. He
has spent most of his life fighting the cor
porations, and is, we believe, In a better
position TO know what should or should not
be done than any man in the party. He is
with Roosevelt on all questions Of Inn
portance and his vote would always be for
the right II he is nominated he will make
good, and graft will be suppressed where II
is in his power TO suppress 1t. The dele
gates to the state convention would act
wisely In giving him the nomination.

that the president has and would work

Fearless Defender of the People.
Verdi1re Citizen (renl

The writer has known Mr.. Rosewater ever
since he established The Bee and in all
these years we have never known him to be
anything but fearless and consistent de-
fender Of the people OF Nebraska The state
has been so poorly represented in the upper
house OF congress for SO many years that
the people. and not the. corporations. should
see that Rosewater is sent to the United
States senate for the next Fix years at least.
The Citizen is in favor of Edward Rose

Position on Corporations Established.
Bairmount Chronicle (rep).

F. Rosswater has been prominent in Ne
braska politics for over thirty years. and
in that time has made many enemies and
done numerous things for which he is cor
daily hated. However, the men with
whom he differed are frank to admit that
in ability, experience. fearlessness and
energy he ranks first in the land. and as
United States senator would take and
hold a prominent position among the lead
ers of the nations capital. His anti
corporation principles are we'll established
and we predict that Rosewater will cut
much ice in settlement Of the senatorial
contest in Nebraska

Mullen Tribune (rep).

Norris Brown Is prominently before the
people for the senatorship, all right, but
we want Il understood that the Tribune
did not contribute one line toward putting
him there Although our Office has been
flooded with 'stuff' ground out at party
headquarters' in Lincoln saying many
nice things about Mr.. Brown we refrained
from biting. There is no honor in that
sort Of politics and for that reason, after
careful consideration, the Tribune hereby
tenders its warm support to Edward Rose
water.

Osmond Republican.

Elsewhere in this issue we reproduce
the announcement of Edward Rosewater
OF Omaha for United States senator. This
move on the part of the pioneer reformer
Is the best thing that has happened to Ne
braska politics for years. Rosewater is
not an unknown quantity, and II we can
elect him senator the state will have a
representative that will stand we'll at the
head of prominent and able men Of the
nation. We trust Pierce county will send
delegation to the state convention that
will aid Mr.. Rosewater in his candidacy.

Candidacy a Gall to Duty.
Lyons sun CrepJ.

The formal announcement of Edward
Rosewater's candidacy for United States
senator will meet the approval and sup
port, not only of his personal friends and
admirers in the state, but also of the think
ing, substantial citizens, who, regardless
of past differences, recognize in him the
qualifications so necessary at this time for
immediate usefulness and service in the
senate. His candidacy seems q call to duty
and In the best interests of the entire state.

NtNsIs
Edward Rosewater of The Bee has an
nounced himself as a candidate for the
United States senate. While It is generally
admitted throughout the state that Rose
water would make a No. / senator, we
doubt very much whether his candidacy
will be taken seriously. At this time the
chances are very much against an Omaha
man capturing that ONCE for the next six
years. But II it should be Rosewater the
common people will have a representative.

Leading Exponent of Principles.

Edward Rosewater Of The Omaha Bee will
rbe candidate for the United States sena-
torship before the coming Legislature. Mr..
Rosewater has been for many years the
leading exponent of those principles which
now seem dominant in the party. Unless
these principles secure such readjustment
OF political forces to bring the populist
democracy into the saddle it would only be
a fitting tribute to Mr.. Rosewater to mako

Hastings Tribune (repD.

Edward Rosewater's candidacy for seat
in the upper house of the United States
congress is meeting with the very best Of
encouragement. In Omaha the Rosewater
sentiment is unusually strong and 1t is the
consensus of opinion that Edward Rose
water is in every sense well fitted to NIL
that high ONCE with due credit to himself
and to the state of Nebraska The same
feeling is much in evidence throughout the

80 far as ability Is concerned, Mr.. Rose
water IL head and shoulders above any
one who has been mentioned up-to-date.
His experience of many years fits him for
the place. The past twenty years Of po-
litical warfare by him would seem 70 make
his election impossible, although It would
be preferable to be represented by men
like Rosewater than by some weaking.
