NEBRASKA POLITICAL POINTERS.

Blue Springs Sentinel: A little boomle,
/ has been started BY the populists for
George w Berge Of Lincoln for governor.
The trouble with Berge Is the democrats
Will not vote for him on account OF the
numerous compliments he has paid them.
Stockville Republican Faber: The Lin
coin State Journal is sending out cards 10
Nebraska editors asking questions in re-
gard TO Taft and the Coming presidential
election. We hope the Journal win be as
successful in getting the exact sentiment
OF the people a. II was in the recent NUM-
cipal election In its home city.

but things seemed to have changed IN Ne
braska as well as In other states in this
regard the last few years
Kearney Hub: Senator Hitchcock Of Ne
braska flew to the defense of Governor
Harmon Of Ohio in a little TIT the other

Aurora sun: We sincerely trust that
Charley Pool will not try to become a
candidate for the governors office; that Is
not on the fusion ticket. II he does make
the trial. and II he wins we are strongly
OF the opinion that he would defeat the
party Editors who secretly believe ne Is
untitled for this office should saw so in
open meeting, that we may not have a
repetition Of the gubernatorial campaign
of 1910.
Teksmah Herald The recent investiea-
ton at Washington, d. c.. shows that
Il. j. Burkett, our defeated senator. was
owned body, soul and breeches by the
sugar trust. Then why should the voters
OF Nebraska cast their vote for Senator
BroWn' who is not half as loyal TO the
state as Burkett was. Brown is a traitor
ana coward to the best interests of the
state. He should be retired at the ex-
piration of his present term
Falls City Journal; The State Journal
and other mugwump papers seem inclined
10 woodrow Wilson because he favors n
lot OF old populistic fallacies of govern
ment In an academic way and has the
apllity to make lot OF nonsense appear
TO really have some vital force. But the
republicans will puncture his tire IL he is
entered In Re race against them Nothing
viii please the party organization better
than to have q visionary like Wilson put
up by the opposition.
Beatrice Express: The Omaha World
Herald hates straddler. That paper has
said that straddling cost Senator Burkett
his reelection, and says that Senator
Brown is of the same stripe. 1t believes in
coming out flat footed for policies or candi-
dates, and has criticized Senator Brown
because he has said he will not assume to
dictate who shall be the candidate of Ne
braska republicans for the presidency. So
Tar there are three democratic candidates
for the senate for next year, and the
World-Herald, editorially, comes out fiat
footed for its favor1te candidate thus
Nebraska democrats have warm places in
their hearts both for Thompson and
Shallenberger as a candidate for senator
Some will prefer one and some the other
still others prefer a third" Such a stand
is refreshing. 1t leaves not the slightest
doubt as TO which candidate the World
Herald stands for
