For a number of weeks there has been ! ton- more or less dlscusalon of Judge llos tetler as a possible candidate, the firat rumora coming from the eastern part of the state, and the subject being taken up by a number of hla fellow cltUene. The matter finally reached a head yesterday when he was called upon at his home In Kearney by a deputation of republicans who were desirous that he should be come a candidate. The matter was pre sented as strongly as possible, but no stronger than the sentiment that had been expressed by many citlsens durlnj the hurried canvass. Judge Hostetler stated In reply, that the use of his name ha been entirely without his knowledge: that he had neither Inspired or encouraged It, and he could not sec his way clear to becoma a candidate at this time, no matter how encouraging the outlook might be.

"There is really no such thing as a puie "Htrain In this country. We are a people of mixed blood. There la no loom In a democratic country for race snob bishness. The American Indian Is the only one who can lay claim to being a true American. "If was prbably the aristrocraty of property which caused the Quakers and riigrlros to become known as the first famill'ftH. Other races, other ancestors are quite as ood stock. But if It li tr.ie j that more boy babies are born during I war times, some of the "gold old names " should bo continued for some genera tions. They will have a splendid oppor tunity to spread the old American Ideals.
