PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE
As between several progressive
candidates for nomination for the
same office, the Herald prefers to
not take a too pronounced stand be
fore primaries. For the democratic
nomination ior president, there are
a number or candidates any or whom
would be acceptable to us. It will
be a pleasure to support Woodrow
Wilson ir nominated against a stand
pat republican candidate. The same
may be -said in regard to Champ
Clark, Governor Fobs and either or
several others whose names have
been mentioned as prospective can
didates ror the democratic nomination
There are three candidates for the
democrat Ic nomination for United
States senator from Nebraska to suc
ceed Senator Norris Brown, whose
recent seech In Indlpanapolls placed
him flat-footed where for a long time
we have believed he has belonged,
and that Is on the standpat platform.
Of the three candidates for the dem
ocratic nomination ror United States
senator, either If nominated and e
lected will, we believe, serve his
constituents faithfully. These three
men are all weltdcnown in Nebraska,
and we do not deem It necessary to
ay much before the primaries in re
gard to their respective qualifica
tions ror the orrice to which they as
pire, but we believe that we should
Invite our readers to an investigation
of the ability and merits or one or
these candidates, particularly ror the
reason that not much has been said

HON. WILLIS E. REED
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, FEB. 17
The Herald is In receipt or a let
ter from General Sunt. K. K Young,
or the C B. & Q. railroad, under
date ot Feb. IS, Informing us that
Prof. H. W. Campbell, of Campbell
soil culture fame, will be in Alliance
to' address fanners and all ut tiers in
tereeted in 4ie agricultural develop
ment of this part of the west, on
Saturday afternoon or this week The
address wtll be given in the district
court room at the court house g
2:30 o'clock. Following i Mr.
Young's letter:
"1 now have a message from Prof.
H. W. Campbell, that he will arrive
at Alliance on No. 44 Saturday, the
17th, and will be prepared to talk to
the fanners that afternoon.
"There Is no question but what
Mr. Campbell can do a lot of good
in this country, aud for that reason
I consider K important that as many
farmers as possible be present."
James Pntmeil brought his moth
er. Mrs. Kltbth Krejclk. who lives
with him. to Si Joseph's hospital at
Alliance Wednesday of last week
for an operation, wiiiiii was per
toriued Saturday moruiug We are
i, I. .l-.. i to note Ui.U Mr. Krejclk is
getting along nicely It is expected
that she will be sufficient ly recov
ered by next week to return home.
In this part of the state in regard to
his candidacy. We refer to Hon.
Willis E. Reed of Madison.
There has been no blowing of
trumpets in Mr. Reed's behalf, but
as his qualifications become better
known to the voters of the state,
his candidacy becomes stronger. He
is recognized by the legal fraternity
as one of the strongest constitutional
tamers In Nebraska, and should he
be elected to represent this state
In the United States senate, his le
gal lore will, without doubt, make
him a strong member of that body.
To be sure, there is not much of the
pyrotechnic about him as there is a
bout some other men in politics, but
his iiiflu, -mi is felt and leaves its
impress upon men with whom he associates.
Willis E. Reed is a .man of un
questioned integrity, whose sincerity
Is not doubted by his most intimate
acquaintances, whose talent and a
blllty are such as to commend him
to, and give h'.m a strong influence
with, a progressive democratic sen
ate, such as the United States will
probably have before the close of
the next six-year term, an influence
that with such a body of men would
be second to that of no other candi
date now before the voters or Ne
braska. Without any disparage
ment to any or the other candidates.
The Herald wishes to endorse Mr.
Reed ror the democratic nomination
ami shall be pleased to see him
nominated and elected.
Many or our readers will remember
that he delivered an address on the
subjeat or "Intersta.te Commerce"
before the Nebraska Stock-Growers
Association In Alliance last summer.
There was not much said about the
address at that time, except Uiat It
was published in The Herald, but
before long the attention or many
public men was called to this ad
dress, and upon reading it they pro
nounced it a most masterful hand
ling or a knotty problem Copies ot
tills speech may now be obtained in
circular form.
The Herald believes that a man
who has the ability to competently
handle the interstate commerce ques
tion, and who stands right on the
trust question aud the tartft ques
tion and direct legislation and other
subjects of such vital importance to
the Amu 1 1. .in people, should at least
receive an unprejudiced considera
tion from tiie voters of his common
wealth. LECTURE COURSE

We are pleased to present to Her
ald readers this week a half-tone
cut of (Ion. Richard L. Metcalfe,
candidal c for the democratic nomi
nation I r governor of Nebraska.
We have already expressed through
these 1 1 ' inns our endorsement of
Mr. M life as a candidate for gov
ernor, but we wish to repeat that he
is a thoroughly progressive candi
date Ln every sense or the word and
add that in our opinion he is the
only one or the candidates for the
democratic nomination ror governor
who can probably win out over Gov
ernor Aldrlch, who will no doubt be
renominated by the republicans. We
hope to see Mr. Metcalte receive
the democratic nomination.
