The Republican Legislative Candidates
In the nomination of candidates for the'
legislative ticket the republicans have pro-'
scnted to the voters of Douglas county one1
of the best tlckctti which has been mado
In the history of the stute. Every person !
who has secured a placo on this ticket Is a
representative citizen nml one whose abil
ity Is appreciated by those who huvo been
most Intlmato with hitn, as the expression
of many of those people show. Hero ore a
iew imervicwii irom men wno speaK from
personal knowledge l orn from Intlmato ro
tations In a business nnd social way;
j Howard H, Baldrigo
Judgo Fawcett of the district court: "1
regard Howard nnldrlgc ob onr of the most
painstaking nnd nblo attorneys at tho
Douglas county bar and as n gentleman of
unquestioned Integrity. Ills record as
county attorney was of t,ho very best. 1
havo never heard brought Into qucstlcn his
ability, Integrity or faithfulness In the
discharge of the duties of that office,
neither could they be questioned. I be
Hove that ho will niaka un able nnd con.
indentions member of the senate. Ho Is
one man who has tho rouraKO of his con
Meltons, and I am satisfied that ho could
not bo useil by any man or set of men for
any Improper purpose. To sum It up In
a popular phrase, Howard llaldrlge Is 'all
wool and n yard wide.' "
E. 11. Duffle, ex-Judge of tho district
court: "As n man I think a great deal of
Howard llaldrlge, but I havo no use for
his brand of politics. Ho Is n good lawyer
and a good fellow straightforward and In
corruptible."
A. N. Ferguson, ox-dlstrlct Judge: "J
havo always had an udmlratlou for Howard
llaldrlge, Hu tried Important cases before
mo whllo I was on tho bench and I always
looked upon him as a superior man both
as a man and as a lawyer. Ho Is a man
of tho highest Integrity nnd n careful law
yer. In court his cases were prepared
with great care and he thoroughly under
stood the matter In hand beforo ho pre
sented It. As an Illustration ot what I
mean, I will clto the rase of Douglas
county against Adam Snyder, which was
won by Mr. Daldrtge whllo he was county
nttorney. Tho case was remarkably well
prepared and the county got a verdict In a
hotly contested suit, duo to the Intelligence
and ability of Howard llaldrlge."
C. E. Herring: "I have known Howard
fluldrlgc slnco I havo been In tho city and
know him as a lawyer to bo a mun of ex
ceptional ability a man whoso word In
connection with any business transaction Is
s good as his bond. If Howard Ualdrlgo
says ho will do a thing you don't hnvo to
ask him to put It In writing. He Is
especially well qualified for tho position ot
legislator, ns I know from my own personal
knowledge. Ha has taken an Interest In nnd
mado a ppcclul study of a number of Im
portant matters that will demand the at
tention of tho coming legislature. Tho
rights of litigants rtt the present time arc In
a mcasuro defeated owing to tho falluro of
pust legislatures to remedy glaring defects
nnd no man Is better qualified to know these
defects and to apply tho remedy than Mr.
llaldrlge. The people of Douglas county will
make no mlstnko In entrusting tholr welfare
to Howard Ualdrlgo In this position."
A. W. Jcffcrls: "After an association of
Ibreo or four years In the ofllce of county
attorney with H. H. Daldrlgo 1 ncqulrcd n
high appreciation of bis ability In different
branches of tho law. I also became
acquainted with his sterling character as a
man, and I think that Howard Daldrlgo Is
ono of tho cleanest gentlemen In every
particular a man whoso character Is beyond
reproach. He will tnko to the legislature
the same qualities he exhibited In other
nffalrs, and he Is peculiarly fitted for tho
legislature becauso ot his study ot laws
and thelr.cffccts."

Albert J. Goleson
T. 0. Northwall: "I believe I know Al
bort J. Coleson ns well as any other man
In tho city. Ho came to Omaha about
twolvo years ago nnd came to our firm ns
soon as bo graduated from business col
lego. At Urst ho was on tho road for me
and for the Tb.omp.iou Manufacturing com
pany. Ho then took charge of tho books
and collections of tho T. G. Northwall
Co. (flockford, III.) house, which then
had a branch In Omaha. Upon tho Incor
poration of tho T. 0. Northwall Co.
In 1S9G he became secretary of the corpora
tion, which position ho has slnco filled. He
Is a man of unlimited determination, In
every way absolutely tiustworthy and con
versant with buslnoss In evory detail. His
experience In business has glvon htm an
acquaintance throughout the stato which
Is very valuable to hlni and which will In
crcaso his ability as a member of tho sen
ate. Hu will mako a valuable member ot
that body, as hn understands tho business
necessities of tho state from all stand
points." P. E. Flodman: "Albort Coleson? You
ncvor hnd n better man on n representative
ticket In Nebraska. He's an honest man, a
flrstrato man. Ho doesn't say very much,
but what ho does say he means. I havo
known him for twolvo or thirteen years
and havo seldom known u man I admire
inoro."
15. F. llratley, with N. P. Swnnson, cor

Ho stands high with tho Swedes and with

good buslns3s representative, for ho is one
of those quiet, steady, thoughtful fellows
who always get Ht the bottom of everything
beforo they blud themselves to any posi

ster Co,: "I have known Albert J.
Coleson for eight years. Ho is a thorough
business man, who stands as high In the
ostlmutlon of the Swedes of tho state as any
other man In the state. This Is tho first
time ho has taken active part in politics
and accepted tho nomination only at the
request of a committee of 100 Swedish voters
of the city. Ho Is a man of convictions and
tbero is nothing false about him. Ho will
mke a No. 1 senator."
John H. lloxton, grand chancellor of tho
If Bilious
use
Knights of Pythias "I think that A. J.
Coleton would make a good senator. Ho Is
a first-class buflness man. I havo known
him ever slnco ho has been In Omaha and I
think ho Is a fine fellow. He Is broad
minded enough to protect every stato In
terest and his word can be absolutely de
pended upon."
Dr. A. Johnson, Sixteenth aud Capitol
nvcnile: "I've known Mr. Coleson for about
teu years. During all of that time ho has
been connected with the T. 0. Northwall
Co. and I havo como Into very cIojo
touch with him. I have always found him
to bo honorable, upright and straight
forward In every respect. Ho Is a man
fully qualified to perform tho duties of any
orflco to which ho may bo elected. He has
never been actlvo In politics, but Is very
popular with the people who know him."
Dr. J. C. Mooro: "I have known A. J.
Colctson for eleven years nnd consider him n
strictly honest business man who will make
a good ofllccr. More than that I can say
for no one."

It. V. Miskovsky, editor Pokrok Zapadu:
"I havo known Vaclav Uuresh for the last
twelve years nnd havo always found him
upright and honest In all of his dealings.
He Is well liked by all who come In con
tact with him and ho stands especially well
with the Uohomlans ot the city and stato.
He Is now prosldcnt of tho Uobemlnu
Turner society, which position ho has held
for two years. Ho has always taken part
In all educational enterprises started
among the Ilohomlans, and because of his
superior education has been a leader In
those affairs. Ho Is also very popular
among tho Polish voters ot tho Seventh
ward, as he has Identified himself with
tholr Interests and has assisted thom in
many ways, always being found on the
right side of every question which affects
either Bohemian or Pole. I might say that
no roan could have been nominated who Is
so well liked as Mr. Buresh among those
who know htm. Ho Is an able man, a
graduate of the Stato University of Iowa,
and aa a representative will not only have
a desire to advnnca the Interests of the
state and its people, but has a knowledge
of the means nocessary to accomplish tho
results ho desires."
Anton Kmcnt: "Vaclav Buresh Is one
ot tho most popular Bohemians In the city,
nnd especially so among bis compatriots,
for tho reason that ho has devoted much
of his time and ability to assisting them
In every way. As a merchant ho was well
liked by them nnd was doing a good busi
ness until tho failure of an Omaha bauk
forced him to the wall. Since that ttroo he
has held Bcveral places In public nnd
private offices where he was In a posltlort
to show what kind of a man he Is, and
he has always been found to be tho right
man In the right place. Ho Is a quiet and
effective worker, who generally accom
plishes his purpose, and for that reason
wilt mako an excellent member of the leg
islature." A. C. Ilayiner, hardwaro dealer: "I have
known Vaclav Buresh over since ho worked
for mo In South Omaha several years ago.
I always found htm a 'first-class man, and
take great pleasure in testifying to his
honesty and Integrity. Ho had my unlim
ited confidence while In my employ, and I
havo had no reason since, to chnngo my
opinion."
C. W. Halter, attorney: "I first knew
Vaclav Buresh while wo wero both attend
ing the Iowa college. He was a fine fellow
In school, quiet and unobtrusive a good
sterling man. When I next met him he
was In South Omahn with A, C. Ilayraer,
and lator was In business tor himself on
Thirteenth street. Thon ho was In the
county treasurer's offlco and while thero
was a model public servant. I havo n
great daal of confidence In him and think
ho will make as good a representative na
any man on the tlckot,"
A. It. Hennlngs, city treasurer: "I havo
known Vatlav Buresh for sixteen years.
Ho Is a No, 1 man. In the office of city
treasurer, In charge of the special tux col
lections, he demonstrated high ability as it
competent and attentive workman. Ho will
make a good representative and will cer
tainly be elected, as ho Is u man who Is
popular with all classes."
George Helmrod. former county treas
urer: "I hnvo known Mr. Buresh for tho
past twelve years, first whllo ho was my
neighbor In a commercial way on South
Thirteenth street. Slnco then we have
been associated more or less Intimately.
When I was elected county treasurer five
years ago I appointed him as one of my
deputies. I found that In Mr. Buresh I had
secured a competent, trestworthy snd loyal
man. I consider him a man of excellent
Judgment, ot fine education and great force
of character. In my opinion he wilt make
one of the best members ot tho tcglslnturo
ever sent from-Douglas county."
Samuel A. Corneer
J. A. Sunderland of Sunderland Bros.:
"Wo have dono business with S. A. Corneer
for five or six years. We regard him as a

hie bills and that Is the best that can bo
said ot any manufacturer."
H. T. Lcralst of C. B. Havens St Co.:
"I have known S. A. Corneer for several
years. Ho Is a man of high standing In
the business world strictly honorable and
straightforward."
Luther Drake, cashier Merchants' Na
tional Lank: "I have known Samuel A.
Corneer for ten years. When I first knew
him ho was a Journeyman bricklayer; now
he la an employer of labor. I think that
this shows well for his ability. He Is clear
headed and practical; a good man, and 1
think ho will mnko a good officer."
It. J. Altchlson, Union Fuel company: "I

Mel Hoerner, clerk of county board: "I
bcliovo I know Mol Uhl better than any
other man In Omaha, for I brought him
to this city. Beforo I camo to Omaha Mol
worked for mo In a book Btore In Crete,
and then I began to know and appreciate
in the boy tho high qualities which havo
slnco grown nud developed in tho man.
After I came to Omaha Mol wroto to mo
nnd told ire he wonted to come here. I
got work for him and ho camo here. Ha
didn't rcrrnln long In the plnco I had se
cured for him. as he was soon given 11 bet
ter thing, He kept at work, always doing
well that which camo to his hand, until
now he Is ono of tho best known and beat
liked of tho young business men of tho city,
Ho Is a fine man and one that can bo de
ponded upon. Ho will mako a good legis
lator and Omnha can do no better than
send him- to Lincoln by n large majority."
R. S. Wilcox, muuacer of Browning. King
& Co.: "Mel Uhl Is as uptight aa they
make thcm--ono of tho best men that thty
could put up for tho legislature. Ho Is
conscientious anu able, strong and fearless.
He Is ono of God's nobleraou nnd I wish
there wero moro like htm on earth,"
F ' Paffenrath, manager for Nlcoll tho
Tailor: "I have known Met Uhl for a long
W. C. Turner, fqreman of Burkley Print
ing company: "Fred M. Youngs Is a good
man. I have been associated with him In
tho Central Labor union and found him al
ways clear-headed aud of sound Judgment.
In all of tho places ho has held his work
haa been always In tho Interest of labor.
On tho board of directors of tho Trnnsmls-"
slsslppl Exposition ho often displeased other
dlroctors by his uncompromising nttitudo
on questions affecting tho Interests of labor.
Ho as a union man will recelvo my voto
and the votes of all whom I can Influence"
E. A Willis of the Pressmen's union:
"I havo known Fred M. Youngs for twenty
yenrs, nnd a better follow I never knew.
Ho has always been n prominent trades
unionist and tho pressmen's uulou owes
much to blm. Aa a membor of tho Central
Labor union ho has added strength to that
organization. He Is a deep thinker, a man
who nlways understands a subject beforo
ho expresses an opinion, nnd becauso ot
that fact ho la a safe man In any capacity.
Ho la a good, clean man, a perfect gentle
man, who, whllo upholding tho rights of
laboring mon, wins tho confidence nnd np
provnl of tho employers. As a legislator
tho interests of labor would bo safe In his
I hands, and I was pleased to sco him nomi
nated for tho office."
W. H. Bell, business manager of tho
Painters' union: "I havo known Fred M.
Youngs for a long time, and, although 1
am uot a republican, havo no reason to
talto bnck what I said about hlra while
ho was n cnndldnto for president o't
tho Pressmen's International union," At
that tlmo Mr. Bell wroto: "I am reliably
Informed that my friend, townsman and
1 fellow unionist. Fred M. Youngs, has flung
! life banner to tho breeze and declared hlm
tsrlf .1 candidate frr tho presidency of tho In
ternatlonul Printing Pressmen and Assist
ants' union. This la Indeed cheering news,
nnd I congratulate the members of your
noblo organization upon tho opportunity
thus afforded to elect ono of tho best men
In tho labor movemont to this responsible
position. Tho writer hns known Mr.
Youngs' long and intimately; na a citizen
ho enjoys tho confidence and respect of all
who know htm ; his standing with tho bust
ness und professional fraternity of thla
vicinity Is of the highest character; In the
local labor movement ho Is without n peer;
as a member of his home union, aa a dele
gate to the Central Labor union of thla city
for many yearB, aa tho president' of tho
latter body, and, aa n director, representing
labor on tho directory of tho Transmls
slsslppl and International Exposition, ho
discharged every duty with honor aud
fidelity, with pallenco and courago, with
conservative wisdom and marked ublllty.
Fred Youngs Is a manly man. Ho novor
plays to the 'grandstand,' nor can hn be
sworved from tho path of duty by tho noisy
clamor of friend or foe, unflinching and
rigid In tho application of tho laws and
rules as ho finds them, yet kindly nnd
conservative withal In his dealings with
those who nro over prone to malign nnd
criticise. Mr. Youngs Is essentially a enfo
man as a leader ot labor. Ho is not a
chaser of 'rainbows;' not addicted to the
encouragement of tho radical Msma' that
all too frequently chase themselves In end
less variety, though, Or rather nthwart,
tho visions of tho so-called leaders. He
fills nny position ho ocruples with unos
tentatious dignity, and exacts for himself
and his clientage In full mcasuro the snmo
respect ho accords to others, Ho can b
trusted to probe everything to tho bottom
that comes before him, and when a con
clusion Is arrived at, It can bo depended
upon that the decision will bo based on
what Is right and not what Is popular,"

Laborer: "I havo known Frod Youngs for a
long tlmo and havo been Intimately con
nected with him In labor affairs. I havo
never mot a 'squaror' or more reliable man
lu labor's ranks. Ho has always hewed to
the line, In fact, I sometimes considered
him too straight, us thero aro times when It
Ih Judicious to bo a llttlo clastic In order to
reconcllo ronlllctlng elements, but Fred
Youngs would always be right first nnd
consider compromise afterward. Ho hns beon
a hard worker for labor's material nnd In
tellectual advancement nnd has never been
sparing ot bis time In Its service, though
having few leisure hours from tho nuturo
of his dally employment, but such us hi
had has always been cheerfully ami freely
given to Improvo the conditions of his fel
low workers, skilled und unskilled. I con
sider tho worklngmon under obligations to
Frod Youngs and they would provo them
selves Ingratcs did thoy not cast their votes
for him on election day. I believe, how
ever, that they will do so and that Fred
Youngs will bo elected to tho legislature at
tho bead ot his ticket, and this is tho
opinion of tabor men generally as far as I
have been ablo to Investigate tholr feollnga
on tho subject."
