tor, with strong leaning toward the ex-
governor. although we admire greatly the

the right kind Of material.

move to eliminate Norris Brown" And
this is done in the name Of insurgency. too,

fruit one can pick off OF thistles, don't It,

Albion News: Nebraska democrats in
congress have decided that they are not
in favor OF free wool after all. AS long as
they were in the minority, and not respon-
sble for legislation, they necessarily
howled about the robbery Of the people in
being taxed on every suit of clothes for
the benefit Of the wool barons. It's very

Beatrice Sun: A United States senator
for Nebraska is to be elected next year.
Senator Hitchcock is from the part of the
state lying north Of the Platte. which used
to be political division that oldtime politi-
clans respected, and those senatorial candi-
dates who hale from the south Platte
country are pointing out that fact as an

States senator. Evidently the gentleman
has forgotten the double-cross hint which
the people gave him last summer when

Dahlman. AS statesman the former gov
ernor is of the peanut variety. Should the
republicans be so unfortunate as to lose the
senatorial primaries next year, democracy
could do but one thing to take the keen
edge from the diaster, and that would be
to do what should have beon done a year
ago, confer the toga upon w. j. Bryan
