To the Editor of The News: In recent years a prominent factor in 'most every movement in our state looking to its mater ial welfare is the inspiring watch words, "Stand Up for Nebraska."

A Road InHpertion Engine The old B. & M. eneiue Xso. 8 is in the shops here where it will be com pletely rebuilt and changed into an in spection engine for the officers. . The cab will extend - over in front for General Manderson not merely as a conipl: ment. however, but for business and as a matter of state pride. General Mandersou's ability, or qualifications for the exalted posit ion, are not questioned, and those who are personally acquainted with him will not be candid in charging him with insincerity in permitting his name to be used. We are firm in the belief that should the exigencies of the repub lican national convention make it impossible either to nominate McKinley, Reed or Allison that Charles F. Manderson stands a better show than any of the other men mentioned. You may put us down in this matter as unconditionally for Nebraska. Respectfully, R. 13. indham. They Captured a Wolf.
