JUS oid record OF Eoing ottef fepoOucon
oficeseekers whom Il does not think NJ to
serve the people in a public capacity.
Beatrice Sun: The Omaha Bee is op-
posing the candidacy OF williams OF Pierce
county. for railroad commissioner, upon
the grounds Of dishonesty. That objection
ought 10 be good.
Springfield Monitor Cdem): In nomlnst-
ing W. r. Patrick for ioat senator on the
democratic ticket at Papillion last Saturday
the convention put a load upon the ticket
which the Monitor believes can not be car
ried. There is such strong sentiment
against Patrick that II would be impossible
to elect him even II there was no pop can
didate. but with Cone Of wshoo In the
field. Alex Laverty or whoever the repub-
lican candidate may be, will have no diff
ficulty in being elected.
Valentine Republican: Although this
paper was a warm admirer of Edward
Rosewater and earnestly desired his nomi-
nation for United States senator. II can
very cheerfully support Norris Brown, the
successful candidate for the nomination.
Brown is an able and popular man and has
made good record as attorney general
He is also a poor man and cannot be
suspected OF buying the senatorial nomina-
other young senator. Elmer Burkett and
we feel sure will represent Nebraska in "A
creditable and perhaps brilliant manner.
Weeping Water Herald: Wanted. two
good candidates for representative. not In
trust, not affiliated with railroads. with
good reputation that will bear newspaper
investigation. Apply to chairman repub-
llcan county central committee. or attend
the county convention and bring references.
Schuyler Free Lance; The delegation OF
democrats which went from Nebraska TO
welcome Bryan at New York certainly were
written up in ridiculous style sufficient to
please the rankest seeker after notoriety in
the bunch. We read and then wonder IL
Mr.. Bryan was proud of the home folks"
Perhaps IL was unjust?
Fremont Tribune: An Omaha statesman
conceived the plan of standing for a legis-
lative nomination on the platform that he
would not abide by the action Of the re-
publican state convention in nominating
senator, but that he would vote for an
Omaha man II elected. This statesman, Il
Is noticed In the published results OF the
primaries, did not pull through, which is
evidence that political treachery Is below
par even in Omaha. There has been a good
deal said by the fusionists about what
Omaha was going to do to Norris Brown.
but Omaha knows II Il begins a fight Of
that kind 1t will have the state on it's back
like a thousand OF bricks and the state
could play even with Omaha at every mark
In the road. The fusionists have also NOM
mated a candidate outside Of Omaha. 1t is
plain, therefore. that Omaha is compelled
to be good. whatever its instincts may be.
Schuyler Free Lance: The Norris Brown
forces did not do a great Job when they
nominated j. A. williams OF Pierce, for
the office Of railroad commissioner. Will
liams was on the delegation to the republi-
can state convention from Pierce county
which was instructed for Rosewater for
senator and he had made II UP with the
Brown forces to swing his delegation to
them at a critical time and In turn get
the nomination for railroad commissioner
He told his delegation and appealed to
them to do him the favor and they did,
although the other delegates were sorry
afterwards when they realized what II all
meant, But Williams may not realize on
his deal and he may be defeated, as he
should be. He is one-horse lawyer OF
Pierce who was county Judge in that re-
publican county. but was defeated for re-
election by q big majority. SO It shows that
his sLdnulub 10 not Tic pcst Ut Houic. Ihe
is mighty poor timber for such an inn
portant position ss railroad commissioner.
Friend Telegraph; The State Journal Is
able TO notice evidences abroad In this
state OF hostility towards the State uni
versity. In the past the people Of this
state have poured money into the State
university without stint or hindrance and
there has nothing been withheld from that
institution which money would purchase.
After trial Of over thirty-seven years the
time has arrived when the people are be-
ginning to desire something like adequate
returns for this outlay. Looking over the
grounds both at the campus and farm, II
is evident that the ground outside. on
which to erect buildings must be purchased
or the great work of education. as we
have been able to see II. at the university,
must soon cease. There are a few minds
at our university who have lent tone to It
as an educational institution. but among
the great mass who are drawing good
salaries the feeling has gone out over the
state that the people were not receiving
adequate returns for the money expended. |
Upon the regents OF this institution rests |
the responsibility of wedding out those |
who are not up to standard and who are
not lending anything towards the good |
standing OF this institution beyond that |
of drawing their salaries and aiding TO |
soak up the money paid in taxes.
