stromsburg News: We understand thai
Bryan can not be elected president, but ",
also understand that IL the High links n
the new special session set him mad enough
he can do some believing that had better
not be done II democracy expects to hold
together.
Tecumseh JournaI-Tribuno. II has been
runored that friends Of Governor Aldrief
intend launching q boom for that gentle
man as candidate Of the republicans for
the office Of vice president. Taft and AID
rich would be about a. strong a ticket a.
the republicans are liable to nominate.
Blair Tribune: The Lincoln State Journal
Is out now with q post card straw vote fol
the coming presidential election. II they
have the luck with this affair that they
had with the boose question its barely pos.
siole that dark horse like Billy Bryan OF
Postmaster Thomas win be elected.
o'Neill Frontier: Despite the hot weather
w. J.fBryan is busy making speeches n
tho southern states. It would seem to Q
man up a tree a. IL the only w. J. was
getting himself in shape to so after the
democratic presidential nomination In 1p12
despite his haIf-hearted declarations that
he would not again be q candidate.
Aurora Republican: When the people OF
the Third congressional district Of Ne
braska conclude that they desire a real
representative In congress to replace Latta
they could do themselves and the state
credit by sending either Editor Taylor OF
Central City, Editor Ladd Of Albion, or
Editor VanDeusen OF Blair. Mther one
OF these three men would soon place the
Third district on the map again were he
In Latta's shoes.
Pierce Leader: The Leader understands
that Attorney Fred H. Free OF Plainviev
would not decline the democratic nomina-
fion FOR congressman to succeed ]. p. Latta
IN case the latter refuses to run again. The
nomination of Mr.. Free wouldn't be a bad
move He IL man of much ability and un-
doubleday could be found fighting the bat
ties OF the common people at all times. The
election Of such a mantwould be a credit to
the Third Nebraska district.
Blair Pilot: The name Of ex-senator
Burkett, just the name. got into the WASH
ington dispatches Sunday In connection
with the Sugar trust Investigation. II was
claimed he changed his mind and voted
to retain the Infamous dutch standard
because OF a promise OF q new beet sugar
factory out at Scots Bluff. The state
ment wasn't established by the testimony
but the vote for the dutch standard was
baf enough without any bribery or scandal
being attached.
Tekamah Journal: Consistency, thou art
jeweP' ought to be learned by Brother
VanDeusen Of the Blair Pilot He claims
to be an insurgent Of the rare kind, one
from principle only. Only last week he
says In his paper that he will do all in
his power to down King Caucus, when he
gets to congress-a calamity which we
would deplore And yet he was one Of
three or four who tried to get up a little
caucus during the late meeting Of the
press association. 1t was caucus Of only
his kind and, of course. no one else wanted
to attend, but It was just the same old
thing, getting together of kindred feel
ings for united action. Be consistent
Brother yanDeusen. or stop your preach
ing.
