Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1911-08-09
POLITICS IN NEBRASKA.


Aurora sun tdemD. A very large per
procity hill were democrats and very
large per cent OF the men that voted
against that bin were republicans. and
stlll The Omaha Bee has the effrontery TO
claim that the measure was essentially put
through by the republicans.
Grand Island Independent; Colonel Bxby
calls upon our distinguished townsmsn. w.
II. Thompson. to apologize for not having
mentioned the name OF W. ]. Bryan In
his speech. The Little Giant has never
been known as an early apologizer. Then,
too, the matter may all be a part OF the
game and be well understood by Godfather
Bryan.
Kearney Democrat: Congressman Norris
has announced his candidacy for United
States senator Senator Norris Brown can
now shape his campaign to meet the re-
quirements. II we have to have a repub-
lioan senator, we're In favor Of Norris
Brown, because, II he keeps on in his pres
ent path OF progression he will be a pretty
good democrat by the time the next session
convenes
Kearney Hub; The World Herald con-
tinues to whine about the democrats being
allowed to pay taxes. join the militia, and
do various other things. therefore should
be given q chance on the supreme court,
board of regents and railway commission.
Why not amend tho constitution then TO
permit partisan minority representation ?
That is the only way. The world-Hcrald
Is merely talking for present political eff
feet.
Tecumseh Journal-Tribune (dem.): The
republican convention held In Lincoln last
tKfna a. ~
Of President Tafts admirers-making It
plain that Col. Victor Rosewater OF the
Omaha Bee, assisted by Col. F. A. Shot
we'll, secretary OF the progressive repub-
lican league of this state knew what they
were talking about when they averred
some time ago that Mr.. Taft was the
choice Of Nebraska republicans for a sec
ond term.
Blair Pilot: It's quite evident that the
federal Brigade will be with Senator Brown
in his campaign for another term. But, If
we remember correctly. they were behind
Burkett to a man. so that isn't sure sign
OF victory by any means. What a senator
should do is to get the people enthusiast
cally behind him. The postmasters will
be behind him anyhow; they have to be to
hold their jobs. Such a combination would
spell victory, triumphant and overwhelm-
Ing. Witness Senator La Follette's sweep
ing victory In Wisconsin. What beats us
is that q man smart epough to be senator
can't see this.
Falls City Journal: Senator Buster"
Brown y for cheap things. Every note he
records is against the agricultural interests
of Nebraska He started In two years ago
by voting to put hides on the free list and
every chance he gets he slams his vote
where 1t will hurt the farmer the most
He hopes to be able 10 get the farmer
boys few suits OF shoddy clothing at
about half the price they have been paying
for tailor made suits. The farmer boys
are not OF the shoddy kind. Hence they
Will remember to vote against Brown when
II comes to choosing a senator to repre-
sent them at Washington.
McCook Tribune: 1t will be worth while
to determine just how genuinely progress
sive Nebraska is. The April election
VIII amount to show down, with the
Canadian reciprocity and presidential pref
erence we'll to the front. And a lively
United States senatorial incident to boot!
Nebraska City Press: Democratic news
pepers of the pro-Bryan faith say the re-
publican journals are talking altogether
too much about the erstwhile Peerless and
Beerless Leader Mr.. Bryan is such an
interesting and diversified character that
1t is indeed hard TO let him rest in peace
or pieces whichever way you view It,
