WAR IN THE THIRD.

Stanton Register; 1t is whispered around
town that Attorney W. w. Young will
be a candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for congress. And why not? He is
more capable than Mccarthy.
Lynch Journal: We believe the Norfolk
News will succeed in making Congressman
Mccarthy sorry he did not make clean
campaign when he first ran for congress.
Then all the lawsuits and hard feelings
would have been avoided. We believe Mr..
Huse is right in his stand
Center Register: After reading Congress-
man McCarthy's answer to Mr.. Huse's
open letter. it will be hard matter for
the News editor to make a whole lot Of
people believe there wasn't something more
than friendship for the plaintiff back OF
his settlement of that libel suit.
Tilden Citizen: Since the announcement
OF the candidacy Of Judge Boyd for con-
gress, he is receiving very encouraging
mention throughout the Third district His
record as judge is we'll known and il is
very generally conceded that he possesses
all the attributes and qualifications for a
representative who will represent the
whole, instead of a part of his constitu-
ency at Washington.
Wayne Herald: II is reported that w.
W. Young of Stanton will be in the field
as candidate for nomination to succeed
j. ]. Mccarthy as congressman from the
Third Nebraska district. This congressional
fight is surely getting interesting with Nc
earthly, Boyd and Young in the field and
several counties yet to hear from. We
were assured a short time ago that Nc
Carthy would have no opposition for the
nomination. How easy it is for a fellow
TO be mistaken in his political guesses.
Burt County Herald: We have occasion
to make a great long mark because we are
In receipt of the first scratch OF a pen
from our congressman. Hon. J. j. McCRr-
thy since he first entered congress Not
even a package OF garden seeds or any
public document of any kind was ever re-
ceived until now. The enclosure contained
column of matter in his own defense
in the matter of the Norfolk News In a
private note to us he says; II write you
simply to apprise you OF the fact that I
am not, and never nave been, unfriendly
10 newspapers, and whenever possible /
have tried to give them the best of II,
| simply because thought they deserved IT,"
We are not from Missouri, but stu we
would like to be shown, how, when and
where the newspapers got the best OF IL,
unless II was the honor and privilege OF
defending him in two campaigns without
fee or hope Of reward. We are not dis.
appointed In Mccarthy, we never asked
| him for favor, nor never expect any.
We realize that he compares favorably
with the average politician In using the
newspaper as a door mat to wipe his feet
/ on TO get once. When a campaign Is on
or a defense Of a candidate Is TO be made
the newspaper is expected TO devote col
umns OF space gratis. AS far as the Her
aid is concerned that practice will not
continue. II will always be ready and
willing to advocate party principles free
/ but when Il comes 10 defending the pri-
vate character OF party candidate, II
/ will draw the line and make the charge
| regular rates over the signature of the
( contributor: cash must Invariably accom-
pany the copy; also an indemnifying bond
{ TO protect US against damage suits thai
may be brought against the paper for
giving publicity 10 the article, Mccarthy
/ will ind that his troubles about getting
third term will gather add run as fast
as water down hill. Outside Of drawing
his salary McCarthy's record Is a blank
| Why not try some other candidate, any
body can do a. well, the chance Is IN
favor Of a changer
