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:

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.

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.
