NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

Fremont Tribune: The Omaha Bee quite
aptly says that nepotism in public office
is not confined to any party, and that the
only way to stop it is to prohibit 1t by
law
South Omaha Democrat: Would be candl-
dates for United States senator are still in
the air and probably will be until Bryan
comes back and indicates what he is going
to do Too bad the democrats have to be
stalled and sidetracked every time there is
an opportunity to win.
Madison Chronicle: Meanwhile, to Judge
by the tone of some of our democratic
exchanges, not all are in favor Of county
option, notwithstanding the "declarements'
OF the peerless one" Time was not long
since when to oppose him in any way was
rank heresy, but it seems to be different
now.
Albion News: Some of the daily papers
speak of Doug Shawvan's candidacy for
the United States senate as a joke. They
don't know the Boone county man who had
the courage to defy the mighty Bryan
alone and unsupported. If he concludes to
enter the democratic senatorial race, he
will make the jokers think another thunk
wausa Gazette; What just reason is
there that the people Of this district should
re-elect and send James P. Latta to con-
gress. Is there anyone who has noticed
that he has made any showing there dur
ing the two years which he has held the
office Let us try to send a man there who
will be heard from, at least once, while
he is there.
Holbrook Observer: The fact that Super
intendent Pouson and Dr. Ludden both
political wire pullers and trimmers are
at the head of the Anti-Saloon league in
Nebraska, is not going to have any bene-
ficial effect so far as the success of that
organization is concerned. The Observer
Is strongly in favort of a county option
law but not through the influence of such
political grating bunch as these two
have proven themselves to be. In play
ing into the hands of these kind of fellows
the league is bound to curtail its influence
and lose the respect of all right minded
and right thinking people, just as 1t has
In the past, by being made eoafs paw
for cunning and designing politicians.
Madison Reporter: We have heard many
democrats and republicans, too, who ex-
press themselves as sorely disappointed in
Governor Shallenberger in not having the
courage to come out openly for county
option, but getting around the issue by
saying he will abide by the party's action
on this matter. The governor could have
clnched the nomination If he had done So
but he will now have the fight of mis- life
on his hands, and If George Berge should
now come out for governor on a county
option platform, Dahlman will have
walk away for the nomination. The pros
poets of electing a republican governor
this year grow brighter every day, espe-
cially If good, strong candidate can be
found
