A Roo.ereIt Republican.


Edward Rosewater. editor Of The Omaha
Bee. Ia a candidate for United States sena-
tor from Nebraska. and the News hopes
he will be successful. Ever since the writer
has known anything Edward Rosewater has
been a republican who has been fighting
the corporations and trusts and standing
up for the common people. He has been
the greatest and hardest fighter Nebraska
has ever known. For his aggressiveness
he has been brutaliy assaulted time and
again: for the same reason he has known
what IL is to be sentenced to jail; he has
made an enemy of every ring politician in
Nebraska; his personal motives and char
acter have been traduced and maligned
but through It all they never could or can
read him out OF his party or stop his sup
port of good government or championship
of the common people. There is not a
single republican in Nebraska who is so
worthy of recognition by bis party. He L.
brainy and a man who does things. He is
a Roosevelt republican, who knows what
Nebraska needs, and IL the republicans are
wise they will make him a United States
senator; and IL so, Nebraska will have a
representative in the senate who can and
will accomplish something. He cannot get
up and make a rip-roaring, loud-mouthed
sneech, but no man in the United States
today can put him down or out when II
comes to facts and figures. He IL a bust
ness man, Nebraska man. all the time
and one who has risked his very life in
exposing fraud and corruption, and the
republican party of Nebraska is not giving
him SOY much as a pleasant smile for his
labors when they offer him the nomination
for United States senator.

He BIsued the Way.


Edward Rosewater is now actively In the
race for the United States senatorship to
succeed Senator Willard. This decision on
the part OF Mr.. Rosewater's friends has had
the effect of temporarily complicating mat
tera. for many Of the newspapers through
out the state, which have been saying COM
plimentary things about Attorney General
Brown, feel that they cannot consistently
desert HIS cause now and give support TO
the new candidate.
And yet the Times believes that Edward
Rosewater is entitled, not only to the en-
thusiastic support Of the republican press
OF the state. but also to the fraternaI god
speed" OF those OF opposite political faith
Those OF US who have spent years in the
editorial harness and have directed the
course OF newspapers In city and country
know that sound judgment without back
bone" viii not keep newspaper out of the
journalistic boneyard for any great length
OF time, even though backed by powerful
influences.
The newspaper which bears the stamp of
public approval and stands the test OF time
is the one that stands for the right at all
times. even though by loyalty TO that cause
the publisher sees his best friends drift
away from him and sacrifices his personal
interests.
The editor who would be successful must
be consistent, and II he is not willing 20
sink his individuality In the success OF his
newspaper he has mistaken his calling and
will never score a success in the field OF
journalism
We may have differed with Edward Rose
water in times past, we may have even
criticised him. but we know that he has
made the name OF The Omaha Bee known
In every town and hamlet in the United
states. and we know that he has ''blazed
the way" for nearly every reform that is
now being demanded by the people Of this
state. With q record Of twenty-five years
OF lighting for the peoples interest, and
tho reputation OF a great Newspaper in his
keeping the people OF Nebraska could max,
no mistake in sending Mr. Rosewater tc
the United States senate.

Edward Rosewater is surely elected

Gives Genuine satisfaction.


II was with genuine satisfaction that the
people of this part of the state received
the news in Mondays Omaha Bee that its
distinguished editor would be a candidate
for the republican nomination for United
States senator. When we say people were
pleased we mean the rank and ale Of the
party-the men who have at heart the vel
fare Of this state and the republican party
There never was just such time as this.
The nation IL enjoying unparalleled pros
perity, yet a great issue has arisen which
men seriously discuss in every hamlet. The
question IL, shall the government control
the corporations or shall the corporations
control the government? That struggle lie
now going on in the national congress. and
at the front in the contest for the govern
ment 70 control the corporation is Theo-
dore Roosevelt. II IL a great contest for
supremacy and the people know that the
corporations will exert every influence at
their command to check remedial legisla-
ton OF make ineffective what they cannot
check The republicans OF Nebraska can
do much 10 further or retsrd this contest
the president is making for the people by
the kind OF man they endorse for the
senate at the state convention in August.
Knowing the man through years and years
Of struggle against corporate influence
there Is throughout the state a growing
sentiment that Edward Rosewater be
chosen for this place. This sentiment
comes from a knowledge that he is a man
who can be depended upon In any sner-
gency. The people know where he stands
on every public question ana they have
confidence that as IN the past he would
keep at the forefront on every issue that
comes up In behalf OF the people. Not
only this. but his knowledge OF the needs
OF the people he would represent is broader
than most any other man in Nebraska. II

PersistentIy Against Corruption.

Valentine Republican Gep.).
The Republican has stated before that
personally there is no other man whom ii
would rather see elected United States
senator from Nebraska than r. Rosewater.
The main reasons for this opinion are
plainly set forth in the announcement.
Years ago he would have been elected
United States senator had he not made
political and corporate enemies by a con-
tinued and persistent effort upon corrup-
ton and domination OF corporation rule.
In the last thirty years he has been q con-
sistent champion OF the people in lighting
their battles. and many times expencing
much money. as we'll as time and energy,
without even taking a thought OF REIN
bursement. The great state OF Nebraska
owes much to the influence exerted by E.
Rosewater and now will have another op-
portunity to do him honor in recognition OF
his efforts TO advance the welfare Of the
whole state.

Has Accomplished Things.

Edward Rosewster, veteran editor of The
Omaha Bee, Is now IN the race for the
United States senate in earnest and pro-
poses to make vigorous contest for the
place Mr.. Rosewater's active CAREER as
editor OF Nebraska's leading daily paper
since 1871 has aroused opposition at one
time or another, and he will have string
of enemies TO contend against. Any strenu-
Gus life that has accomplished things meets
more or less antasonism. and that is the
case with Mr.. Rosewater. That he has al
ways fought to regulate corporations and
restrict the power Of wealth. and that he
would ably and fearleEsly represent the
state at Washington, people we'll know.
Whether he can secure the nomination or
not time will tell, He win at least put up
a fight that will make Norris Browns boom
less certain OF carrying the state by storm.

The Republican is unso BILE to see serious
objection to his candidacy. unless it he on
the score Of age. But, though he has
reached the allotted age, he is today at
the very zenith of his mental powers and
his friends assert with confidence that
years of active useful citizenship are still
before him. Edward Rosewater, through
out the many years Of his journalistic ac-
tivity, dealt many telling blows in behalf
of the republicans and republican princi-

placed upon him by the party at the close
OF his useful and honorable career, It would

captured by the brass band tactics OF the
press bureau which was booming Attorney
General Norris Brown for United States
senator. and many OF the independent
thinkers among the balance of the republi-
can editors are commenting favorably upon
the candidacy OF Editor Rosewster of The
Omaha Bee, who is now in ancient Rome
attending the International Postal congress.
A few years ago Rosewater was put down
as traitor to his party because he would
not support the entire republican ticket
but he has outlived that and today is ona

Fitting Tribute to Party Service.

The Frontier has repeatedly stated its
belief that Editor Rosewater was the best
equipped, all-around man in the state to
send to the senate and the logical candi-
date of the republican party. The position
the party takes, its endorsement Of the
national administration and demand for ma
tional control and limitation of corpora
lions, It cannot consistently nominate any
other than a candidate of the Rosewater
stripe And, inasmuch as he is admittedly
the ablest man in the bunch OF aspirants.
1t would be fitting tribute for long years
of service to the party and state to honor
Mr.. Rosewater with a seat in the senate.
