Blair Democrats The Pilot says it is not
in favor OF terminal taxation and invites
Jahnel and Eller up to tell where they
stand on the issue. Williams threatens
TO support the democratic legislative nom

Norfolk News: II looks as though Judge

Nebraska City News: II all the World
Herald published concerning J. A. Will
lams. whom the republicans nominated for
railroad commissioner. Is true he is no
mere fitted for the position than is the
man. who is charged with all kinds Of
crimes. The Herald says his record is
malodorous and bungling as county judge
and many republicans papers-The Bee In
particular-have made the charges openly
that he voted the Pierce county delegates
for Norris Brown after they had been in
structed for Rosewater. on this point
there seems to be no dispute.
Springfield Monitor: The time has passed
when the editor OF the Monitor and many
others will vote for yellow dog just be-
cause he is on the ticket and stands for
some principles. by means Of which he
hopes to slide into Office. The editor OF

which is not very good endorsement:
Williams is like a weather vane. You
never know where TO find him. He goes
with the wind When he first came to Ne
brasl<a he tried to practice law in Omaha.
Then he moved into Pierce county. and
the next thing l heard he had given up
the law and was school teacher. Then
learned he had given up teaching school
and had gone back to prscticing law. lie

Judge. but understand he was badly de-
feated for reelection He is so changea-

York Republican: 1t is extremely doubt
are so far out OF politics as some of the
managers who have spoken on the subject
pretend. They were most thoroughly out
of the politics that shaped the course OF
the last republican state convention. They
were wise enough TO stand out from
under. But they are at work. where
ever there is a chance, to secure the
election of state senator's who either be-
long to them, or whom they hope to con-
troll, or hoodwink by reason OF their in
experience. The republicans of York and
Fillmore counties have placed in nomina-
ton a candidate who stands pledged to a
platform which is all that could be asked
or desired and this paper firmly believes
that he will carry into effect every
promise he has made. lie is able. and
vigorous, and will not be a tool in any
hands Give him the full party vote, and
! there will be no question of any magn
influence working the senator from our
own district, no matter what may he
accomplished in other districts in the
state.
