SENATORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

Grand Island Independent: Editor Rose
water would come more nearly. and much
more nearly, representing all of the people
Of the state than any man from Douglas
county yet mentioned.
Wakefield Republican: Edward Rose
water OF Omaha is getting considerable
favorable comment for the ONCE OF United
States senator. Mr.. Rosewater Is GER
tainly we'll qualified for the position.
Bancroft Blade: The republican state
convention will this year again endorse
candidate for the United States senate
which means the saving of considerable
money. II an Omaha man is to be
dorsed, by all means let 1t be Rosewater.
Utica sun: The sun would like to see
Editor Rosewater Of The Omaha Bee be-
come candidate for United sttaes sem
ator because II believes that no better
man could be selected than he is to sue
coed Senator MilIard. II it IL TO be a re-
publican he would be great credit to the
party which he represents.
Humboldt Leader: The name of f. Rose
water Of Omaha is being prominently men
toned in connection with the United States
senatorship and II must be admitted that
he would be great improvement over
some who have pretended to represent Ne
braeka in the upper branch in the past
He would at least be doing something"
Oakland Independent: Omaha republicans
are undecided whether to put forward
Senator Willard, John l.. Webster or Ed
ward Rosewater as candidate for senator.
whichever is supposed to be the strongest
competitor in the race against Norris
Brown will receive the boost. The repub-
date
Wahoo New Era: The sentiment among
the rank and file of the republican voters
of this state in favor of E. Rosewater
for senator is constantly increasing, so
much 30 that by convention time 1t will be
an irresistible force, brushing aside corpora
ton Eroomed and literary bureau candi-
dates. Rosewater is no unknown quality
or quantity nor pig in poke"
Nelson Gazette: Edward Rosewater OF
Omaha is again mentioned in connection
with the United States senatorship. We
doubt II there il a more capable man in
the state for the place nor a closer friend
to the rights of the common masses, but
it is doubtful IL he can run the gauntlet
of the politicians, who, in the case of this
particular ONCE. are decidedly II.
OF corporation newspapers OF the state are
having conniption fits over the fact that
Norris Brown appears to be gaining a
strong hold on the hearts of the people
Notwithstanding the pantlnKs of these rail-
road ridden publications, the people will be
heard from at the proper time, and Norris
Brown or some other fearless advocate of
their cause will be named as Mr.. Millard's
successor.
Norfolk Press: John l.. Webster has been
formally placed in the field as another
Omaha candidate for United States sena-
tor. Just where Willard leaves of and
Webster begins in Douglas county remains
to be seen, and will be developed in the
near future. In the meantime Douglas
county republicans may as well make up
their minds that the only Omaha candidate
who can command respectable following
out in the state Is Edward Rosewater.
Emerson Enterprise: John L. Webster's
boom for United States senator was form
ally launched by his Omaha friends a few
days ago. Omaha now has three announced
candidates Senator Millard, q. w. Wat
ties and John L. Webster. Editor Edward
Rosewater, who is not an avowed candi-
date, is receiving much favorable mention.
In order to be strong in the senatorial
contest, the metropolis should unite on
its best man. for It looks now as though
| Il would be Omaha against the state.
Tskamah Journal: Underneath all there
| is the idea prevalent in the minds Of two
thirds OF the republicans OF the state that
in the person of Edward Rosewater one
can find ali the elements necessary to make
an ideal candidate for Nebraska repub-
licans to unite upon, And It would not be
surprising or unexpected II that idea should
be formulated into a demand for his candi-
dacy ere the state convention shall cease
it's labors, not withstanding press bureau
politics and railroad trading stock candi-
| dates.
