NEBRASKA POLITICS.

York Republican: A man who could not
be tolerated In the worst day Of Texas
will hardly do for governor Of Nebraska
at this late stage IN the proceedings.
shelton clipper. Had Il occurred to any
one that with Bryan against him Dahlman
stands a mighty good show Of being
elected Bryan Is pretty much Of a
hoodoO
FurnAs County Democrat: The sarcastic
observation OF General Grant. you can
always depend upon a democrat doing the
wrong thing at the right time" may need
apply to the open primary law passed by
the late state legislature.
Edgar Post; Dshlman doesn't like
preachers or farmers. At Beatrice he
called preachers retailers OF hot air" and
at Syracuse he wanted to know what bust
ness the blanked farmers have to Inter
fers" In the affairs OF a town or village.
Kearney Democrat; Colonel Bryan still
neglects to tell his Commoner readers why
he refuses TO support the democratic can
didate for governor Of Nebraska. Hasn't
the colonel q good enough reason to let
the democracy In other states hear of Il?
Beaver City Times Tribune: The Bryan
letter that was sent TO the managers OF
the democratic banquet in Beaver City
was suppressed in the interests OF Dahl
man and the anu-Bryan gang. Do you
remember who suppressed the letter? Have
you heard his remarks about Norris? Bah!
ONeil Frontier; The republican ticket
is deserving the support Of all republicans.
While some OF the candidates were not the
first choice Of many OF us, the ticket is
composed Of good men who are worthy
the support Of all members Of the party
and those from other parties who believe
in the policies Of good government.
Pender Republics Mayor Dahlman says
whatever may be his own faults and mis-
doings he has a wife and some daughters
who are pious and respectable folks. That
is doubtless true. II always was a puzzle
how some OF us old degenerates managed
to tweedle good women into marrying us.
But we do and Dahlman Is doubtless
guilty along with the balance Of U.S.
Hastings Republicans Edgar Howard says
Bryan cannot consistently bolt Dahlman
and support Hitchcock for the United
States senate. Howard contends that
DahlmRn stands for the (home) brewers
and Hitchcock represents the National
Brewers association which the Columbus
editor takes exception to In the following
words: when II comes to making q
choice in that direction. l am for the Ne
braska brewers every time as against the
National Brewery association. stand up
for Nebraska"
Broken Bow Republican: The democratic
candidates for office find themselves in
rather an embarrassing position politically.
They are politically under obligations to
support the party nominees from the least
to the greatest But there is the rub. They
are afraid TO declare themselves for Dahl
man, their candidate for governor, for fear
OF losing votes among the anti-DahlmAn
crowd. Upon the other hand should they
declare themselves against Dahlman they
fear that his supporters will not support
them. In fact there does not seem to be
any excuse for a democratic candidate in
this campaign.
Alma Record: The Record does not ap-
prove OF the methods Of few good peo-
pie who brand as boozers, buns and brew
eryhirelings every voter who does not
espouse prohibition or county option, for
the reason that We believe every man has
right to his opinion without being called
a big hard name. Such methods IL con-
tinued will create a big silent vote in
favor Of the opposing candidate The Rec
ord favors the election OF Aldrich because
he represents republican ideas in govern
ment and the county option question is
merely local ISSUE that will be settled
by the people in the senatorial and rep
resentative districts, As usual the demo-
cratic ticket is the corporation ticket, while
the republican ticket is free from any
corporation dictation.
Hastings Republican (dem): A certain
bartender well known in Hastings SAYS
he will not vote for Dahlman. He gave
the reason for this decision that In his
opinion the election OF the Omaha mayor
would preoipitate a campaign for state
wide prohibition and that In his estimation
II would be safer for every saloonkeeper
in Nebraska to take chances on Aldrich
and county option rather than to elect
Dshlman with ell his rGdicalism on the
liquor question. This bartender is also a
democrat and he thinks the only sane
course for the democratic party in Ne
braska is to turn DGhlman down and the
members OF the party make a strenuous
effort to elect the congressman and turn
their votes on governor to Aldrich His
logic Is that defeat of the party on gov
ernor would in the long run prove a VIC
tory for the party for it is his belief that
II Dahlman Is elected the party would be
put out OF commission In this state for
years to come. We give these facts as
presented by this bartender to show the
variety of opinions on the gubernatorial
situation, ~
