TIPS ON THE POLITICAL TRACK.

Blue Springs Sentinel: The name OF
Hon. c. B, Dempster of Beatrice, for gov
ernor meets with favor everywhere
throughout the state. He is the man of
the people,
West Point Republican: A. d. Beemer
is being suggested as a likely candidate
for the Office of state treasurer. The
suggestion is a good one, but as a candi-
date for governor he would be still better.
He is able and fearless and wears ordi-
nary linen collars. other kinds never
did At him.
Falls City Journal: Ernest NJ. Pollard
is asking for a second term as congress-
man and, according to all presidents, he
is entitled to 1t. He has made his short
term count for the farmers Of his dis
trict. and from his efforts they may ex-
pect that a reasonable time in the house
will enable him to do great things for
them 1t will depend upon the farmers
of the district to see that he gets the
nomination.
Silver Creek Sand; With Peter Morten-
sen out Of the race for governor the sem
tlment OF the ant-corporation element of
the republican patry seems to be centering
in favor OF George l.. Sheldon of Cass
county. One thing can be said of Mr..
Sheldon, and that he has made an enviable
reputation in the state legislature, and
a Nebraskan who has been right for two
terms in that trying position, must have
something good about him.
Tekamah journal: Judge Boyd of Me-
liRh, was in Tekamah Tuesday getting a
better acquaintance with the republicans
of the town. Judge Boyd says he has
been around the third congressional dis
trict and he has been given assurances
of good support in his candidacy for the
republican nomination for congress. He
is practically assured Of having the sup
port of his judicial district. This alone
is a following any candidate might be
delighted to possess. The Journal editor
was pleased to again meet Judge Boyd.
And we do not hesitate in saying that the
district would make no blunder IL 1t
should send him to congress.
West Point Republican: Republicans of
all shades OF opinions are looking for
ward with hope that the next head of the
state ticket will be a man who is capa-
BILE of rejecting credit on himself and
the commonwealth Hon. II. H. Wilson
of Lincoln, profound student in law, an
eloquent speaker on the stump, and
citizen we'll and favorably known through
out the state, would be a candidate TO
meet the fee in any kind of an inter-
estinE campaign--the fiercer the combat
the better it would suit him-and his
great personal strength could be relied
on to add prestige to local republicanism
in the eyes of national leaders
Hildreth Telescope: A paper down at
Red Cloud has been trying to work up
small boom for Ike Shephardson of Riv-
erton, for congressman of this district
but the papers in this and surrounding
counties are treating 1t as joke. Mr..
Stephenson is an excellent citizen but
the chances are ten to one he wouldn't
accent the nomination II he could get II,
and the chances are not even that good
that he coull get It If he did want 1t.
The people of this district are perfectly
satisfied with the work of Congressman
Norris, who stands with the people on
all important questions and who will be
renominated and reelected without
trouble.
Howells journal: Edgar Howard has
got p. e. McKillip nominated, elected and
all but seated In the lower house OF con-
gress and all that the dear people will
have to do is to carry out the program
as he has arranged II. There Is
where the trouble is coming in. The peo-
pie Of this district have been long suffer-
ing and exceedingly patient, but there IL q
limit to all things and they can't be ex-
pected to go into spasms of delight over
a candidate whose sole claims for recog-
milton consist of a head OF foot ball hair
and a good bank account Howard can
continue to paint McKillip as great
statesman. but the pictures will fool no
one who knows the man. It is not pleas
ant to talk thus of a prospective candi-
date, but It is high time to raise kick
We have had one McKillip campaign and
it IL enough.
