playing horse with the republicans Of Ne

Hastings Tribune: The Omaha Bee hands
warm one to w. ]. b. in this style: Mr..
Bryan might be politically interested to
know that an Illinois man given up for
dead came to life in morgue the other
day" Now. what do you suppose The Bee
really meant?
Clay Center Sun: Evidence is accumuIat-
ing every day to Indicate that Senator
Elect Hitchcock with Ex-Governor shalen-
berger as the next coming man are plan
ming to complete the downfall OF Bryan as
a leader OF Nebraska democracy. The
friendship OF Hitchcock for Dahlman as ex-
pressed in his after election regrets for his
defeat shows plainly where his choice is
as between Dahlman and Bryan with
possibility that both Shallenberger and
Bryan will be candidates for the United
States senate to succeed Norris Brown IL
Is easy to see where ShaIenberker hopes
to gain by te-up with Hitchcock

published in New York The portrait makes
the junior Nebraska senator look like
rough laboring man instead of the carefully
groomed and polished gentleman who will
represent the World-Herald in the upper
house Of the national legislature. Those
fortunate enough to have seen the senator
elect remember him as a handsome appear

Of the best dressers i'm either house OF

the country are found there. But TO see
an Illustration of the man with his hair
mussed up, his neckte with a wrinkle or
two in II and a scowl on his face instead
of the handsome and intelligent counte-
nance he usually displays to the world is
distinct shock to his numerous admirers
in his home state. He has good grounds

Fender Republc The most amusing
thing we have seen for some time is Con-
gresham G. NJ. Hitchcock down at
Washington foaming and frothing about
the RalliuRpr ipyaaffgatipg 81
getting an action on themselves, and his
Omaha newspaper ranting and>roaring be,
cause Governor Aldrich is getting a move
on him and is endeavoring to clean up
some of the filth of our state II il diff,
cult even for a congressman to be con-
sistent. OF course the Word-Herald would
say II IL a different case altogether But
is II? Hitchcock says there is something
wrong with Ballinger. Ballinger says there
isn't, but that lot of undertaking news
papers and magazines and congressman
are butting in and are determined to make
trouble. Aldrich says there is something
wrong with Omaha But Hitchcock's
newspaper throws up its hands in holy
horror at any such suggestion Balilngers
denial OF any crookedness is exceedingly
mild compared with the World Heralds
denial Of any croOkodness in Omaha. Why
not be consistent, Mr.. World-HeraId-
Hitchcock? II a little investigation is such
a good thing for Mr. Ballinger, land we
are free to admit 1t Isl, why is IL not
just as good thing for Omaha? So turn
on the searchhght Mr.. Governor We
love to see the World Herald fume and
fuss. And the very fact that it is doing
such good job OF It is pretty good evil
dence there are some things It does not
want brought to light. But turn on the
light What is good for Ballinger is good
for Omaha.
