Plalnview News: Senator Millard's re-
cent announcement that he would be q
candidate before the coming legislature for
re-electioh is all hot air. He might be a
candidate. but his chances 20 defeat Nor
ris Brown are worse than hundred to
one shot. We're through with Millard.
Go way back. etc.
Minden News: Before the recent nu-
nicipal election in Omaha did you notice
the number OF reforms the democrats
promised IL they be given the oficesf
Since their election have you noticed how
their promises have been fulhlled4 Abor
nit. Whenever the democrats promise you
anything you may be sure that history
will repeat itself every time whether 1t
be in city. state or national politics.
Norfolk Press: Herbert s. Daniel, a
Norfolkborn young man. is the new city
prosecutor OF Omaha. and the Press 10
very sorry to see that one OF his first
official acts was to dismiss the cases
against the Ice trust At this distance
Il looks as IL the ice dealers of Omaha
were pursuing methods worthy OF band
OF highway robbers. and there ought to
be some way to lay the heavy hand OF
the law on them.
Lincoln Country Merchant: Secretary
Written OF the Commercial club is re-
ported to have said the conference IL
closed so far as the proposition from
Chicago parties to establish a denatured
alcohol plant In Lincoln, as he seems
to conclude from a talk with them re-
Gently that the promoters have abandoned
the idea and It's up to someone else to
locate a plant here. Why not the state
OF Nebraska install a denatured alcohol
plant at the penitentiary?
Silver Creek Sand: At the senatorial
convention at Clarks last Saturday,
Charles Wooster was defeated for sena-
tor and A. Edgington of Fullerton was
nominated. wr, Wooster felt confident
of receiving the nomination and made no
enort to get 1t. II would seem from Mr.
Wooster's talk that there was 'nigger
In the wood pile" in the shape OF thu
Union Pacific Railroad company, with Bill
Rose OF Fullerton as their representative
Sand don't know, but is willing to let
them fight It out Wen bet on Wooster.
Central City Republican: Republicans
generally would feel much better satisfied
II the Lincoln State formal was muxzied
and kept in the background during this
campaign. For the past quarter OF a CEN
fury the Journal has been the brazen advo-
cate and defender of everything bad in
Nebraska politics. and it's derelictions, like
the other articles" at the end of a sale
BILL have been too numerous to mention.
The old timer in this state cannot by any
stretch of the imagination separate the
name of the Journal from all forms OF
graft and ring rule, and the claim that It

raises a laugh.
Schuyler Free Lance: There are republic
cans oil over the state who count up into
the thousands who will not vote for J. A.
Williams. one of the republican candidates
for railroad commissioner, because he
turned traitor to Edward Rosewater in
the republican state convention. He went
as a delegate from Pierce county under in
structions to vote itst, last and all the
time for Rosewater for senator. but he
entered into deal with the Norris Brown
forces to change from the Rosewater to
the Norris Brown column at a critical
time and in turn get the Brown,support for
railroad commissioner. On the sixth ballot.
after Rosewater had steadily gained and
1t looked as IL Brown could not possibly
increase his lead and lost out. Williams
swung. BrownXwas nominated and I'm turn
helped Williams to his coveted place on
the ticket. 1t seems that IL will gain him
nothing for the friends of Rosewater and
the republicans who have no use for that
sort OF a fellow will not vote for will
liarns and he will be defeated. He surely
Will be defeated IL those republicans cast
their vote for the same one of the demo-
cratic nominees and not scatter them
among the three. In Colfax county there
are many republicans who will not vote
for Williams and we ask all such to vote
for George Horst Of Polk county who Is a
clean man and man OF honor. This
editor knows him through his several terms
I'm the legislature. where he proved alright
and will make a good railroad commits
