Kennedy for Senator.

with the expiration Of the time for filings,
Il is now definitely settled that we are TO have
only two competitors for the republican nomina-
ton for United States senator in the impending
Nebraska primary. Next to the presidential
standard bearer. the senatorshp is by far the
most important place on the ticket 10 be filled
most important in the high character and
wide influence OF the office and also most I'M
portant in determining the ease or ditneuly
with which republican success will be won IN
the November election.
Gauged by any or all OF the tests that may
be applied, the candidacy Of John L. KENNEDY
carries an appeal to republicans who want TO
see this state again represented in the United
States senate by a republican which must be un-
answerable. Mr.. Kennedy has been identified
with the upbuilding Of Nebraska since his early
manhood. He has been successful In the practice
OF his profession, in which be holds an enviaoie
rank He has been a leader and not lagsard
IN reform movements, and help and not
hindrance in all the public enterprises under
taken by the city or state. He has had the con-
gressionai experience 10 fit him for the senator
ship and he has not only subscribed to the re-
publican principles, but has been an active
party worker, doing his full share TO make
these principles effective in our government
His patriotism is unflinching and his public
spirit never lacking
II Is not enough for Nebraska republicans to
win back the senatorship. We must at the same
time give Nebraska a man for senator who will
measure up to the position, who will perform
the duties courageously, conscientiously and
creditably. BY making Mr.. Kennedy the party
nominee, we can offer the voters as e whole. a
candidate who can command their confidence
and help insure a republican victory.

its general arrangements possibly the
idea II worth consideration.
While he states II ought TO be 900 feet
square and twelve stories high. with Six
teenth street running through II and with
an inside court 800 feet square. he is not
clear az to the location OF this structure
In relation 20 Jackson street. II II is in
tended that this building stradde the
Sixteenth street viaduct somewhere in
the middle. II would be a mistake to do
so. for the reason thai the smoke and
noise from the constant moving OF en-
gines and trains. the confusion and un-
sanitary features OF this situation would
be most uncomfortable indeed.
II. however. the structure faced on
Jackson street the difficulties would be
lessened. for the reason that all the
traffic would be on one side.
As 10 converting the building into a
dual office building AMI railway station.
II would be a mistake. and as a matter
OF fact II should cater TO railway business
only.
The Sixteenth street vladuct should be-
come a part OF the architectural design
OF the station, the east end of this sta
tion on jackson street would then be-
come the commencement Of the Union
Pacific freight station. Sll Of which could
be finished in keeping with the general
scheme. The depot as a whole would
then extend from Sixteenth street to
Eighth street, all facing Jackson street
with a viaduct from Tenth to Sixteenth
street about Pierce street all the old
South Omaha district could be discharged
onto the Sixteenth street thoroughfare
greatly TO the benefit Of all concerned
Thus all viaducts aud grade crossings
would be abolished in the district.
