Bloomfield Advocate: Vic Rosewater Of
The Bee, who Is now visiting In Old Mexico,
says n he we're compelled to drink the
liquor they serve down there he would make
application for membership in the Women s
Christian temperance union. II he did,
world it make prohibitionist Of him?
Blair Pilot: We herewith hand Mr. Rose
water our congratulations, not for doing
what he should do In his position, hut for
dong what many Of us never thought he
would do. And he has a reason for the
faith that is in him." that Senator Aid
rich has no corporation strings attached
to him." and it's a good one
Humphrey Democrat: Vic Rosewater has
returned from a trip to Mexico and has
tens to announce that ne and The Omaha
Bee Is for Aldrich and the entire reuub-
lean ticket We'll, judging from the recent
primary election In Douglas county I'm
which The Bee refused to support Mr..
Dahlman, 1t concerns the democratic ticket
very little who MIR. Rosewater aud hts
paper supports.
Falls City Journal: There is evidence
OF political campaign being on. Victor
Rcsewater has had 10 tell where he stands
over his own name In The Omaha Bee. He
Is against Dahlman and county option but
he regards county option as a local issue
to be settled by each legislative district
for itself While Dahlman he regards as a
danger to the whole state and a menace
to good government.
Albion News: The Omaha Bee has finally
taken a position on the governorship, and
Z % fgr IN, Of N,
sition on county option Whether It will
benefit Mr.. Aldrich for that paper to
profess friendship for him while II de-
nounces his standard on the paramount
issue Of thc campaign, raises a question
that can only be answered by the returns
from Douglas county after the votes are
counted.
North Platte Tribune Certain papers
having raised the question OF The Omaha
Bees support Of Aldrich for governor, Vic
tor ROsewater made reply to the critics
in yesterdays Bee, and in part says: THE
Bee favors the election of Aldrioh not be-
cause he has proclaimed him for county
option, but in spite Of II. 1t favors him
because he represents republican ideas in
government; because he has no corporation
strings attached him; because so far as
we know, his integrity has not been as
sailed; because clean cut republican vic
tory, indicating that Nebraska is In line
with the. progressive policies Of Taft and
Roosevelt, would be worth a great deal to
this state and to the country"
Papillion Times: The Times must APP
prove the sentiment recently expressed by
Victor Rosewater editor of The Omaha
Bee, who recently In a signed editorial
stated that he personally and The Bee as
a newspaper were for Aldrich rather be-
cause he was a republican than because
he represented the county option side Of
the liquor question giving as his reason
that he refused to accept the liquor ques-
ton as the paramount and overshadowing
issue in this campaign. The Times has re-
peatedly made this statement that county
option is not the greatest question before
the people of Nebraska to solve at this
time, and rather favors fighting the battles
this fall upon strict party principles.
Democrats have the opportunity Of their
lives to make a telling and winning fight
against the standpat republican policies as
represented by the Ubiquitous tariff law re-
Gently enacted. This one question alone
far overshadows the county option ques-
ton, while large number of other party
principles also call for the undivided at
tontion and support OF every true and loyal
democrat.
