Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-09-20

Lincoln journal: While thinking hard
things about Jim Dshlman, just remember
that Aldrich is as worthy as his opponent
is unworthy 1t will be an honor and
pleasure TO vote for him.
Fremont Tribune: Some OF the papers
that do not have a personal acquaintance
with Mayor Dahlmsn are scoring him for
the company he keeps. what do the may
ors good friends think OF that?
Grand Island Independent: In the state
convention Mr.. Bryan declared that county
option was paramount to all else. He has
already backed down as to the legislature.
what will he do as to governor and when
will he do it2
Blue Springs Sentinel: Governor shallen-
berger officially died about as hard as
any man who ever stepped up and took
hold OF the political bat He kicked on the
score and umpire both and refused to even
be comforted by the popunsts.
Fremont Tribune: The st. Paul Repub-
lican Is authority for the statement that
Mayor Dahlman has decided not to push
the capital removal proposition. on sec
ond thought Lincoln and Lancaster county
look pretty good to the Omaha candidate.
Beatrice Express Candidate Dshlman's
promise that he will not interfere with the
submission of the Initiative and referendum
amendment is entirely superfluous. The
necessary joint resolution by the legislature
TO submit the amendment does not require
the governors signature.
Fairbury News: One thing is morally
certain and admits OF no contradiction
and that is that the open primary was
responsible for the nomination of both Aid
rich and Dahlman, and the result of the
coming election will determine whether
its influences are good or bad
Blair Pilot: 1t may seem psradoxical,
but the only way for the democrats TO save
the good name of their party in Nebraska
this year is 40 vote for Aldrich for COVER
nor and thus make sure that democracy
and decency have Joined hands" as Cover
nor Shallenberger once said they had.
Howells journal: The attempt 90 Jim
Dahlman to hedge on the eight o clock clos
ing law will deceive no one. Too many
of the voters of Nebraska have heard
Dahlman and his friends on this subject
in language more expressive than elegant
to be fooled by any later attempt to square
their position with the democratic state
platform.
York Republican: A canvass among York
democrats finds most OF them opposed TO
the election OF Mr.. Dahlman. They don't
consider him the nominee OF any party, his
success being the result of the action of the
Third ward In Omaha. Those democrats
will be heard from in no uncertain way be-
| fore long. 1t is case of Nebraska against
the Third ward OF Omaha.
York Times Governor Shallenberger says
he will not accept the popuist nomination
unless he has the democratic nomination
which he has not Like the rest of the
democrats who run the populist party, the
governor Is a popuist only to catch the
vote. Perhaps it was the coalition between
the democratic and popullst parties that he
referred to when he declared democracy
and decency had Joined hands"
| Plattsmouth Journal: When the recount
of Douglas county is finished and II is Of
ficially declared who Is the democratic
nominee for governor, everything In the
democratic ranks will be smoothly con
Quoted to the end of the campaign. Too
much stress has already been puS upon the
recount muddle and the local candidates
are the ones to suffer from It. To hades
with primary elections in the future. The
law should be repealed this winter.
Lexington Pioneer: The present primary
election law, passed by a democratic legis-
Iature and endorsed by Governor Shallen-
berger, is condemned by the latter as vic
since 1t resulted in Shallenberger's defeat
as a candidate for governor. II he had
been nominated II would have been one of
the best primary laws ever enacted. some
men die hard and shall appears to be
one of that class.
Falls City Journal The county optionlsts
and prohlbitionists who voted for Dahlman
al the primaries to reduce the !soue be
tween the candidates at the general cleo
ton to the simplest terms, will not be long
, in placing the Xxx opposite the name OF
the other fellow when they get into the
election booth next time The law foolishly
gave them the right to help nominate
Dahlman, but 1t exacted of them no prom
| Use to support him later
Custer County Republican: In his speech
at the state fair last Wednesday, Mayor
Dahlman publicly declared that no one
should vote for him for governor II they
do not believe with him on the liquor ques-
ton. He reiterated his determination that
II elected governor and II a county OPP
ton law is passed by the legislature he
would veto IT. He claims his right TO veto
the will of the majority because he lie
, making that issue his platform.
, Lynch Journal: We heard a good demo-
1 crat blaming the republicans for the nomi-
nation of Jim Dahlman the other even
ing. Nothing is further from the facts. We
believe that few thousand republicans did
) vote for him at the last primary. but a
4 far greater number OF democrats stayed al
home and let the nomination take care OF
= Itself and II did. II even few hundred
! Shsllenberger democrats had went to the
; primary conditions would have been differ
e ent. Again 1t was democratic legislatur
and democratic governor that amended
! the primary law in such way as TO let
e republican slip into the democratic fold
and impose a Dahlman on that party.
