Introduction. For years Rosewater has
fought the railroad and other corporation
interests. No one can deny that he has
strong qualities and would be able to DO
much for the state II he was in the United
states senate. Norris Brown has also been
prominently mentioned for several months
past In connection with the senatorship
and in fighting the railroads in the rail-
road tax cases he has won signal victory
and during the time he has been in public
life has shown himself coura geous and vic
torious 1t seems almost too bad that these
two men should aspire for this position at
the same time as they both represent so
nearly the same principles. Certain It is
whichever Of these two men Is chosen for
the position, we will have a senator who
will do much for the state.

Not Playing TO the Gallery.
BRYAN Rlada (renN

II II is the will OF the republican party
to honor a man that has always fought
graft railroads and trusts. Mr. Rosewater
will be the republican nominee for United
states senator. OF course, one can say,
Rosewater has fought republican candi-
dates; we don't know but what II was
the right thing TO do. Better always elect
good man regardless Of which party he
belongs than man that has nothing to
recommend him but loyalty 10 party. Our
way OF thinking. Rosewater will make a
senator that will ably represent Nebra ska
and not play TO the gallery.
