METCALFE FOR GOVERNOR Enthusiastic Reception Given Candi dacy of Richard L. Metcalfe by Democratic, Populist and Republi can Press of the 8tafe. I nil would ay. wiy a democrat at A BROAD MINDED STATESMAN Thp Hornld makes tk rule, with very fpw ox'. ppUans, w hero there nn- a number of cnndldnlen for the nomination for any office, to not five one candidate the preference ov or the other before the primaries In fact, we make thta a ruk with no exceptions union there are very fipecial and mrong miaons for de clarinK our preference for one of the candidates for nomination. In the came of 4ie candidates for the democratic nomination for gov ernor at the primaries to be held next year, there are very special and wrong reaeone why Richard L, Met calfe should be the nominee. We amy this without casting the flllghtest reflection on the Integrity or ability of any of the other candidates for the nomination. Next year is the year that Metcalfe ought to he ad the democratic state ticket. We are bo thoroughly em v hi red of thta fact and so strongly of the opinion, that, with out waiting for the primaries to give him the nomination, whl h we believe he wHl receive by a large plurality vote, and probably by a large majority over all other candi dates, we wish to begin a campaign lor his election. It i evident, from the reception given his candidacy by democratic, republican and Independ ent nowtepapers, that If he receives the nomination he i alonwt sure of (election. Following are a few extract from Nebraska papers published since Mr. Metcalfe's candidacy was announced. We hope that every Nebraska read er of The Herald will read these quotations: HOLDRBGK PROGRESS (l nt. CINTRAti CITY NONI'AHIKt.

He is clean, proKrePHive and couragcou. with convictions that make him a natural leader. HO LB ROOK OHSR.RVKR lem.) Mr. Met -aire Is one of the bin demo cirals in Nebraska, ;ind oi.; of the cleanest and nhl"; tti'n In the slate. NM only Is Mr. Metcalfe a true blue detnotrat, but lie combines thos? principles which would make of him a most able and conscientious e 'u tlve, and of v. bom the state could well feel proud We believe. If Mr. Minfi" is nominated, lie could be elected by a good strong majority. AINSWORTH STAR JOURNAL (Rep.) In the opinion of the writer there Is no belter man in Nebraska than Metcalfe, nor one more capa ble, no matter to what position he may aspire. If the democrats nomi nate him they will do well do them selves honor. He is straight, hon est, honorable and capable. The writer speaks from a personal ac quaintance dating back to 1888. Per sonally the writer would much have preferred to see "Met" aspiring a gain to senatorial honors. Rut it he should get the democratic nomination and be elected Nebraska would al ways be proud of the admin latrti! irn he would give. LOUP CITY Tl MKS-IN I )K I 'UND ENT (Dem.)
