Nebraska Political Comment

Fremont Tribune: The Bee scores good
point against Senator Hitchcock when ii revives
his attitude toward the presidents action in re-
gional bank legislation. Senator Hitchcock then
resented the interference OF the president in leg
islative matters as a usurpation OF legislative
authority. Now the senator is warmly approving
the presidents action brow-beating congress into
passing law demanded by the railway brother
hoods. The senator's claim to independence
doesn't look so good when you get all the
slants of 1t.
Grand Island Independent; Il is noticeable
that the latest issue OF The Commoner leads
away with very eulogistic editorial on the
eleven remedial measures passed by congress;
that il has highly commendatory comments on
President Wilson's address OF acceptance; that
il warmly endorses the candidacy Of Congress
man Jones Of Virginia; that Senate Leader Kern
should be reelected; that Speaker Clark should
be given splendid endorsement; that Thomas
R. Marshall should be handsomely reelected, and

no floating debt to provide for. Simply because
this amount has been reduced for the lol5-l6
