SENATORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

Lincoln Politician: Sentiment over the
state is growing more pronounced for Rose
water.
Fremont Tribune: Senator Willard has
come home to Nebraska 20 decide whether
he wants to enter the race for another
term. Our disinterested. impartial and
friendly advice would be, Don't do 1t.
Fender Republic: one good thing about
Senator Willard is that he goes about his
business with his mouth shut. instead of
always foaming at the muzzle for the pur-
pose OF attracting attention from the gall
lerles.
Ansley Chronicle: Our favorite son for
United States senator is Hon +. NJ. Cur
RE. Mr.. Currie is the most logical candi-
date in our estimation. 1t is true he is
not a politician, but he has every quail
fication to make a representative at our
national capital in whom Nebraska would
have reason to feel proud.
Harrington Herald Hon. w. p. Warner
Of Dakota City has no bureau of publicity
looking after his interests, but neverthe-
less there is a growing feeling that he is
senatorial size, and this feeling emanates
from the farms and is a sincere regard for
a man whom the people believe to be right
on the questions of the day.
Norfolk Press: Edward Rosewater might
have been United States senator long ago
IL he had not been fought by Omaha re-
publicans and defeated i'm his aspirations
He never can get united support from
Omaha, and it is all folly to talk of him
as candidate A newspaper man who has
the courage of his convictions may as well
bid goodbye to all political aspirations,
and the sooner he does the better newspa-
per man he will Be.
Fremont Herald: The Herald believes
that even at this late date Edward Rose
water could win the senatorial nomination
| at the hands Of the state convention. 1t is
true that he has many enemies in every
section of the state, but 1t is also true that
no republican now seeking the nomination
| has as many admirers in Nebraska. The
masses of republicans believe in Rose.

monopolist. II he should at this time make
personal appeal to his friends to send

! win with ease.
Tekamah Herald: Hon. Norris Brown as
candidate for the United States senate neet

republican state convention He is the

Lincoln Journal: The Fremont Tribun
interprets the shelving Of Victor Rose

season as meaning the final retirement o
the senior Rosewater from the senatorial
struggle. This does not necessarily fol
