NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.


Central city Nonpareil: Joe BARLEY an
nounces that he cannot support Norris
Brown. and the fusion press halls his sup
port OF their candidate with glad acclaim
BARLEY feels perfectly az home with the
railroad gang that IL directing the demo-
cratic campaign.
Kearney Hub: John A. Creighton, at
three and a half score. makes another sitt
OF s400.O0O to endow the Creighton institu-
tions I'm Omaha on which he has already
expended a round 81 ,OoOOoo. The quality Of
John A. Creighton's munihcent philan-
thropy. like Gods mercy. is not restrained.
Hastings Tribune: Shallenberger IL
fighting Sheldon because the latter once
rode on "a pass. Everybody knows what
Shallenberger's pass record is Therefore
is II almost useless to mention IL. But,
by the way. II Shallenherger is such q
deadly enemy to the railroads how docs
il happen that the railroads are not tear
ing their shirt trying to defeat him?
Emerson Enterprise: The Omaha Bee
says the republican legislative candidates
from Douglas county are in honor bound,
II elected. to vote for Norris Brown for
United States senator. Republicans will he
pleased at the position taken by The Bee.
1t Is strictly correct When an omaha
man gets the nomination the republicans
of the state should give him the same
united support.
Hayes Center Times Tribune: How are
you going 10 vote on the proposed consti-
tutional amendment There is no sensible
reason for opposing It, and we think you
will agree with us after investigating the
proposed amendment. A copy is published
in this newspaper for that purpose and VIC
urge our readers to give it careful con-
alteration. Both political parties ratified
1t at their state conventions. and straight
vote for either the principal parties is a
vote for it. Nebraska will have a railway
commission after the election.
Valentine Republican: The republicans
of this state are somewhat handicapped in
the present campaign by several unfor-
tunate nominations. One OF our candidates
for railroad commissioner has a record
that needs too much explaining; our can
didate for congress in the First district
grabbed a bunch of salary that didn't be-
long to him-and he hasn't put 1t back;
and our candidate i'm the Fourth congress
sional district is accused of sending an
automobile from Washington to his homo
on express company frank, that is, a
free pass. The mass of republicans will
not stand for such grating as is alleged
in these cases. and good deal of indie
pendent voting will be caused by it.
Butte Gazette: Referring to a recent
editorial in The Bee, the position taken
by that paper in regard to the acceptance
OF the nomination of Norris Brown is Ger
tainly commendable. Under the past and
present circumstances it must take d good
deal of stamina to support the man who
was the rival of the late editor of The
Bee, but surely this shows the proper
spirit, policy and politics. Norris Brown
was the choice OF the republican party in
convention, and in voting for HIM you
sanction that choice. II the work now in
progress relating to trusts. railroads. pure
food, the building OF the canal and much
more already started by Roosevelt is to
be completed, it can only be done by q
republican Legislature. See to it that Ne
braslSa sends to Washington its fun quota,
two republican senators and in this way
help hold up the hands of Roosevelt.
