STATE POLITICS BUBBLING.

Sutton News: Don't forget that George
L. Rouse of Hall county will be a factor
in the gubernatorial nomination that will
have to be reckoned with.
Grand Island Independent There is moth
ing constitutional in the way of Hon. Peter
Mortensen for railroad commissioner. No
better selection as one OF the commits
sloners could be made.
Syracuse Journal: II George Sheldon
should receive the republican nomination
for governor he would sweep the state
with a genuine Roosevelt wave and on its
crest would be seen a majority of the
democratic votes of his home county
Weeping Water Herald: State Senator
George i. Sheldon announces himself
candidate for governor of Nebraska. We
believe Mr.. Sheldon will make strong
race for the nomination as he represents
the principles of the republicans of the
state
Blue Springs Sentinel: Our present lieu
tenant governor has taken a tumble to
himself and will not be a candidate for
governor. This was what you might term
a happy tumble for McGilton. Had ne
persisted in being candidate his real tum-
BILE might have hurt him.
Plattsmouth Journal (dem.): The mem
ton OF Senator Sheldon's name in connec-
ton with the candidacy for governor has
the hearty support of the Fremont Tribune
and many of the leading republican papers
OF the state. Senator Sheldon is said to be
an ideal citizen and a man with back
bone. The governors ONCE has long been
in need of such an occupant.
Fremont Tribune: Some of the political
romancers connected with the corporation
wing are trying to brighten Senator Burk-
EFT away from the support of George Shell
dor for governor lest the latter gentleman
loom up as a possible opponent of Mr.
Burkett four years hence. They are not
likely TO thus set these two men by the
ears, which is the plain purpose.
Bruning Courier: We hear a good many
complimentary remarks about J. NJ Both
well as Thayer county's candidate for state
treasurer. His qualifications in a business
way are undisputed, he has proven his abil-
ity and integrity by serving as county
treasurer two terms, where he gave the
most perfect satisfaction to all regardless
of party affiliation. and not a breath of
scandal or suggestion of wrong-doing is
even limited at. Mr. Boutwell, is a gentle
man whom the republicans of Thayer can
bring forward before the state convention
with confidence and honest pride.
Falls City Journal: Hon. George L.
Sheldon of Cass county has announced
that he is a candidate for the Office of
governor at the hands of the republican
party. Mr. Sheldon is a young man of
marked ability and his candidacy will be
supported solidly by the entire southeastern
corner of the state. He filled the office
Of senator from Cass county during the
last legislature with credit to himself and
HIS party and II elected governor will rep
resent the entire people and not a few
bosses or politicians. When the convention
meets Richardson county will be there
with solid delegation for Mr.. Sheldon for
governor.
Fremont Tribune: Senator George Shell
don of Cass county has announced his can
didacy for the governorship and it is an
important contribution to the political sit
uation. He is a farmer and stock grower
and has made a pronounced success Of the
business. He is a native OF Nebraska and
II he should be nominated and elected he
would be the first Nebraska born governor.
He is a graduate Of the State university
and of Harvard. He was a captain in the
spanish-American war. Senator Sheldon is
an ideal candidate for governor. The Trib-
une has no axe TO grind. 1t wishes only
to deal fairly and justly between the peo-
pie and the candidates. It is acquainted
witB all those who aspire to the governor
ship. With no disparagement for others II
is free TO state II as its own opinion that
Senator Sheldon is the best one OF them
all for the governorship Of Nebraska
