The Republican has stated before that
personally there is no other man whom 1t
would rather see elected United States
senator from Nebraska than e. 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 con-
sistent champion OF the people In nghting
their battles, and many times expendlng
much money. as we'll as time and energy.
without even taking thought OF reim-
bursement. The great state Of Nebraska
owes much to the influence exerted by e.
Rosewater and now will have another OPP
portunity TO do him honor in recognition Of
his efforts to advance the welfare Of the
whole state.

OF late We have been hearing a great
deal in the east about western senti-
ment, the demands of the west. The
cowboy president is sometimes criti-
cised in the east as having imbibed
too much OF this western sentiment in
his early years; when we begin to an
alize the terms to find what is meant
by western sentiment, the demand of
the west, and such like phrases, ind
that it means those ideas which for
thirty or forty years, and do not know
how many more, Mr.. Rosewater has
advocated. (Applause)
The eastern statesman wanting to
post himself in regard to western SEN
timent and western ideas and west
ern aspirations gets his ideas from
what Mr.. Rosewater has written and
spoken His paper has been the rep
resentative OF our typical western
ideas. I do not wish TO speak dipar-
agingly Of other papers In the west,
but nearly all of them have found
their instruction and financial assist

headquarters In the east and have
never correctly spoken the ideas OF

The Frontier has repeatedly stated its
belief that Editor Rosewater was the best

the party takes. its endorsement Of the
national administration and demand for ma

other than a candidate OF the Rosewater

Of as having great influence through

thing which the west particularly
needs, he is our natural and logical
representative. There has not been
any movement calculated to upbuild
Nebraska that he has not been in, in
the inception. the organization and the
application of that work. The ideas

today become the accepted ideas of
