Papillion Republican. The selection Of
Victor Rosewater, editor of The Bee, as
national committeeman for Nebraska, was
an honor worthily bestowed and will meet
with the approval of the rank and file Of

republican national committee from Ne

by Senator Norris Brown, who has not

election Of Victor Rosewater was a good
thing for the party, and then, again, per-
haps It wasn't. Time will tell.

Fremont Tribune: There are very many
republicans in Nebraska who will not en-
