NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

Springfield Monitor: Stay in Nebraska
is a slogan that Is bound to be heard all
over the state as soon as the leaven a lot
OF patriotic boosters are injecting begins
to work thoroughly. And they will stay
ord Journal: Mike Harrington AYERS his
firm allegiance to Mr.. shallenberger, but
the lstter's friends point TO the unoourteous
attack Of the railroad record Of c. E. Har-
man and wonder how that exposure can re-
dound to the credit Of the former governor.
Fool friends have defeated many worthy
men for offices
Grand Island Independent; The World
Herald states that Mr.. Bryan bases his
criticism Of other democrats upon informa
ton that Is not reliable. Mr. Bryan states
that the world-Hersld is the source Of his
information. Again MIR. Bryan admits that
the World Herald is unreliable and-wen,
figure 1t out yourself.
Bridgeport News Blade: Governor Aid
rich announces that he is willing to go to
the United States senate any time the vot-
ers OF Nebraska see fit to send him. Wen.
that disposition is an improvement on the
attitude of some other fellows who persist
in boosting themselves for the senate
whether the voters want them or not.
Kearney Hub: Ak-Ser-B Ben does not pro-
pose to be outdone by the Nebraska state
fair management. The latter has secured
Secretary Wilson for a speech on reel
procity, and the king is going right hSrd
after President Taft for a real Ak-sar-
Ben attraction, speech or no speech. II is
to be hoped that the president can arrange
to accept the preferred hospitality.
Blue Springs Sentinel: The price Of beef
has again been raised In the east This
| time the cause Is asserted to be due TO
drouth conditions in the west, which has
also caused shortage Of good beef cattle.
How easily the farmers of Nebraska could
fool them by cutting up the entire crop
of corn fodder and SLIDING II and what
juicy steaks would result
Fremont Tribune: Mike Harrington was
not half as anxious to get into libel suit
as he said he was 1t will be noticed, in
fact, that neither Harrington nor Hartman,
both of whom are lawyers, were overly de-
sirous Of trying the law suit method OF
settling it. They were content with a lot
of bluffing through the newspapers, but
as slick lawyers, avoided legal proceed
ings.
Alma Record: The peerless w. j. Bryan,
| WHO mas Deen OUT WIFI a ydIu-sliCh
uring presidential timber by asking thirteen
| questions that are framed as to shut
out all the candidates but himself, has
thirteen questions fired at him that will
keep him busy for some time II he an
swers any one of them. These interroga-
tories came from the well known editor OF
the Jeffersonian, Tom Watson, who is All
inquiring man himself.
| O'Neill Frontier: Jim Dahlman is a
bigger man in the democratic party today
than before he went down to overwhelming
defeat at the hands of the voters of Ne
braska at the last election. A year age
Jim could not have prevented a democratic
state convention from lauding w. j. Bryan
| in its platform, but at the recent state con-
vention he was successful in preventing
any mention of the name of the boy orator
Of the Platte. This seems to be convincing
proof of his power.
Grand Island Free Press: The last and
