Norris Fights Losing Battle. Six months ago Norris was ad mittedly unbeatable; today his sup porter* me fighting a losing battle. This Is Thn honest and unbiased opinion of ono who has tried to get at the facts. Influential republican newspapers throughout the state have departed from the traditional attitude of rieailng impartially with( c 11 candidates before the primaries, and have announced themselves open ly for Scan for senator. When newspapers like the Norfolk Daily News, the Fremont Tribune, the Cen tral City Republican, the Geneva Sig nal, the Fairmont Chronicale, the ("ay Center Sun, the Fairbury News, the Scottsbluff Republican, and scores of others do this, it may be taken ns an index of the. trend of political thought. One hears hut little of the guber natorial don test. It is generally ad mitted that Governor Bryan will be nominated. Mathers and McMullen each have great strength, and the outcome seems to depend upon which one Gustafson draws the most votes from. But on this long trip, now covering the belter part of two weeks, your correspondent has not heard one single word said about any candidate on either state ticket be low the office of governor. This shows the apathy of the people. Thomas a Favorite. It seems tn be pretty generally con ceded that Thomas will be the demo cratic nominee for senator, but It Is only when one talks with lawyers that either he or McDonald Is htard mentioned. The outcome of the primary is the sheerest guesswork. One man’s guess is as good as any other man’s. Because this is true the following guess is submitted: Coolidge will get the Nebraska dele gation hands down. Sloan will l>e the nominee for senator, and McMullen will he the nomirye for governor. The democratic delegation to the na tional convention will be the personal 'appanage of Governor Bryan, who will he renominated, and John J. Thomas will he the senatorial nomi nee. Further than that deponent sayeth not. Men Who Are Making Omaha • _j\ AVe are now going to make public a carefully guarded secret, liis full name is Beniamin Stanton Baker, but to the multitude lie Is just "Ben.” Iowa is his native state, and lie was graduated frorh the university at Iowa City In )871. Mis first activity after leaving school was as a teacher, but' later he returned to the university and took a course in law. In 1874 he began the practice of law, and in 1878 he found that Fairbury, Neb., was a far more inviting field than any Iowa could offer. Of course he went in for polities, of the republican-variety, and in 1888, he was a delegate to the convention that nominated Benjamin Harrison for .president, also was elected a mem ber of the Nebraska legislature. The president, knowing that a lawyer named Benjamin was a good man to tie to, made Mr. Baker'1'nited States district attorney for Nebraska, and thus he came to Omaha in 1890 to make one of the best officials who ever filled the important Job. Next he was elected district judge by the voters of Omaha. He presided over the trial of Pat Crowe, when that worthy finally was brought to face the court on a charge of kidnaping 1-lddie Cudahy.

Thousands who have seen Jesus in the light of super-naturalism and who now see him in the light of the sublimely human testify from experience that they find the latter to be spiritually the more sat isfying view'. Out of such a personal experience will come the sermon, “Good News About Jesus,” to be given at the First Unitarian Church, "114 Harney street, Sunday at 11:00 a. m., by the Minister, Rev. Ralph E. Bailey. This message will be the fourth of a series of discussions ot the timely subject, “The Good News of Liberal Christianity.
