Omaha daily bee., 1906-05-17


Bancroft Blade; John L. webster's boom
for the United states senate seems TO have
born and died in the same night The
Fontanelle frost was certainly a killing
one.
Fender Republic: The republicans Of
Nebraska should take advanced ground on
the pass question. the railroad rate dues-
ton, the primary election law and the
trust question.
Norfolk News: Mr. Rosewater's success
in having gained an extra vote in the In
ternatlonal Postal congress for the United
States was an achievement In which Ne
braska may take satisfaction as a state.
Schuyler Free Lance: one regrets to see
a fellow like Jim Dahlman elected mayor
Of Omaha and the tough element behind
him win, but there Is satisfaction I'm the
fact that that Fontanele outfit is put to
sleep.
Beatrice Express: The press dispatches
indicate that Rosewater lined UP with the
delegates from Egypt in the postal con-
gress at Rome for cents postage. One
Of the youngest nations lined up with one
of the Oldest for a great reform.
Falls City Journal: John L. Webster of
Omaha had begun to pun wind into a little
boom for himself for United States sena-
tor, but the result of the election in Omaha
punctured the boom and tore it so badly
that it will not hold wind at ALL
Plattsmouth Journal: The Fontanelle
club of Omaha, which was instrumental in
securing the nomination of Benson for
mayor against the wishes of the rank and
file republicans, says it proposes to keep
on doing business at the old stand This
is certainly good news to the democrats Of
the metropolis
Sutherland Free Lance: 1t is only right
and just that Judge Kinkaid should be
returned to congress, for by his legisla-
tive acts he has not only served his con-
stituents well and faithfully, but the
American people in general recognize in
him one of the foremost factors in the
halls of congress.
Galloway Courier-Tribune: An evidence
that Rosewater does things comes from
Rome in the postal congress. He received
an additional vote in the congress to rep
resent Hawaii and the Philippines, but
when Great Britain comes in and asks an
additional one for the Boer republic in
Africa and New Zealand, its possessions,
1t was voted down and 1t failed to get it.
Sutton News: The Fontanelle warriors
of Omaha, who succeeded in encompassing
the crushing and inglorious defeat of their
candidate for mayor, have met before the
council fire, pounded the tom tom, smoked
the pipe they'll need more than a pipe to
bring them dreams of victory, made new
medicine and propose to interduct a can
didate into the gubernatorial race. AS a
republican hoodoo the Fontanelles have all
others beat to the sky line.
Stanton Picket The Picket is authorized
fully decided to stand as a candidate for
congress and will go before the conven-
ton asking the nomination. After can
vassing the situation and with the pledges
of assistance that have been rendered him
Mr.. Young feels that his chances for Sc
curing such nomination are very good. He
is backed by the unanimous and enthusiast
tic support of the republicans of Stanton
county. His candidacy, while aggressive,
will be strictly in his own interest and
not antagonistic to any other candidate.
Fremont Tribune: The World Herald
artist has produced the picture of bloody
dagger 1t says is Mr.. Rosewater's, hav-
ing several notches on the handle repre-
senting men It has stabbed. Among these
is the name of the editor of this paper
but II should not be on the handle OF the
deadly weapon The Tribune and Its edi-
tor have not always agreed with Mr.. Rose
water, but they are unaware that he ever
knitted either of them. Their differences
OF opinion and somewhat strained rela-
tions came about through an impression
that Mr.. Rosewater had not dealt fairly
with their old friend, L. d. Richards, when
he was defeated for governor sixteen years
ago-which is long time when you pause
to think Of 1t.
