Blue Springs Sentinel: Bryan will run for
United States isenator next year ~ the
people want him To construe this prop
erly, IL the democrats get together and say
they want him, they are the only people,
and Bryan will run.
O'Neill Frontier: Holt county legal talent
has not been very successful in drafting
laws that will stand the scrutiny Of the
supreme court. Senator Donohoe's nom
partisan judiciary law first fell by the way
side and now Arthur Mullen's State Normal
board law has also been found defective.
Schuyler Free Lance: 1t makes a person
weary to hear q democrat complaining be-
cause republicans did not vote for Judge
Sullivan and yet at the same time that
complaining democrat voted for Judge
Dean. The republican who did vote for
Sullivan and the democrat who voted for
Dean are simply two Of a kind, only by
chance they happened to be in different
parties.
Kearney Hub: Governor shaIlenberger's
assertion in an Omaha interview that
county option will not be written in
the Nebraska democratic platform next
year, because 1t means prohibition" and
his taking issue with Citizen Bryan on that
subject may be taken as an advance note
Of the next campaign and an indication
that the governors bid for the temperance
vote will be the s o'clock closing law.
Plattsmouth News: If there is anything
that has a tendency to make the average
citizen weary # is to see some fellows
posing as republican editors when in fact
they are nothing but counterfeits. They
recognize the fact that IN order to have
any standing with the people they have
GOT 70 cn,tpfarfatf tho real th{ng De- -
usual they are a great deal like the latest
counterfeit IS bill, just two pieces stuck
together with nothing between.
Plattsmouth News; And the World
Herald is not saying anything any more
about that "nonpartisan" supreme court.
Can it be possible that it has got cold feet
on the proposition and that 1t is going to
let the people go to the everlasting bow
vows and stand calmly by and give up
the fight, Is not the "nonpartlsan" idea Of
as much consequence now as 1t was before
the election, or does the World-Herald pro-
pose to let the matter go for awhile and
rest up to get a new start.
st. Pau Republican: The late election
gave the fact emphasis that Nebraska is a
republican state. From almost every sec
tion there comes republican majorities, and
his, too. IN a light year, when the vote
would naturally follow the administration,
II IL ever did. This means that all the
republicans need do next year to win this
state and keep 1t is to nominate a good
candidate for governor, and let the record
of the two parties in management Of state
affairs speak for itself.
Grand Island Independent: The Anti
Saloon league of Omaha has filed charges
with Governor Shallenberger under the
Sackett law to the effect that Mayor
Dahlman, the chief of police Of Omaha and
the Board OF Fire and Police Commission
ers rave failed 10 enforce the S o'clock
closing law and have asked that they be
oUsted from office. The charges are made
through Elmer Thomas, Of letter writing
fame in the campaign OF 1gOS. The governor
will look into the matter first. Probably
a little suspicious Of Thomas?
York Times: Nebraska democrats who
toTship do not lind much consolation in MIR.
Bryan's declaTa alton that he will not be a
candidate for that office unless there Is
a demand Tor him 20 become a candi-
date" There is always a demand for him
TO run for office when he wants to run and
the demand will be as insistent as any one
could desire as soon as his admirers tumble
to the fact that he is looking for II. All
other democrats might as well stand aside
and clear the way for the great commoner.
He is coming down the pike and the odor
Of his gasoline will fiji the air for miles
around
