Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-09-18

St. Paul Republican; What's the matter
with organising a George L. Sheldon club
composed OF Ncbraska-born voters1 The
native Nebrsskan ever given a place on the
republican nominee for governor is the fret
state ticket.
WILDER Republican; The two democratic
sheets which WILDER Is blessed with are
tumbllng over each other IN their efforts to
show how Shallenberger will slam II TO the
railroads when he gets to be governor.
Doubtless that Is the reason the railroad
wing OF the democratic party nominated
him and turned down Berge. They wanted
somebody in that would slam It to them
and they were afraid Berge wouldn't do
good Job OF II.
Columbus Journals To secure the right
kind of rate law next winter one that
will be just to shipper and railroad alike.
will require a high order OF ability on
the part OF the next legislature. 1t will be
just as dangerous to send a railroad enemy
to Lincoln as to send a railroad tool
Sanity, common sense, broad mindedness.
honesty and a lot of hard work will be re-
quired to give the people the relief they
want. The republican press is In a position
to perform an invaluable service to the
people Of Nebraska by entering now upon
campaign Of education on the subject OF
rate regulation under the commission sys-
tern.
Aurora Republican,: The republicans are
charged with stealing the popuiist prin-
ciples. Politics are evolutionary. The re-
publicans found themselves at the place
where they could consistently advocate
some OF the very things the old time popu-
lists contended for. The difference is that
with the pops the reforms proved to be
only shams and once in power they for
sock their platforms and forgot their party
promises in the greed Of Office holding and
favor seeking. The republicans have come
to the present reforms gradually and the
change Of sentiment has come from within
the party and not without. II the popullsts
still hold TO the doctrines which they claim
the republicans have appropriated they are
at liberty to assist us in electing to office
this fall some candidates who will put these
principles in real practice.
Beatrice Sun: The Omaha Bee has be-
come great newspaper because II stands
for something. BY this we mean that there
Is an individuality that Is not possessed by
the party organ that endorses without cues
ton everything and anything that a con-
vention presents, regardless of the makeup
of that convention. This is the only true
course for newspaper. The party organ
has seen its day. The people want to know
who the candidates are and they will de-
eide whether they are worthy of support
or not, without instructions from party
bosses or party newspapers. For thirty
years The Bee has been a consistent OBJ
ponent CT monopoly. II mattered not
whether the candidate was a republican or
wore some other party brand, II he was
not sound upon the one great question he
has not received the support OF The Bee.
At the present time The Bee stands for
the people and against the corporations,
and the candidate for the legislature who
receives the support Of The Bee will have
to show clear title, or deceive the editor
OF that paper. The people want TO know
where every candidate stands at this time.
