Oni; thing favorable to locating

that several of them have agreed to
give special rates on this occasion.

for Hitchcock because lie is a gen

for the position. If this is not
enough there are a thousand other

Tuts paper favors Omaha as the

Nebraska Democrats.
Democratic prospects in Nebraska
for the next election appear good
and nominations for the various po
sitions to be filled will be in de
mand, says the Scribner News.
While none of the prospective can
didates have announced themselves,
enough has developed to indicate
that there will be a rivalry between
the followers of cx-Congressnian A
C. Shallenbarger and George V
Merge for the gubernatorial nomin
ation. Democrats throughout the
state feel that an old-line democrat
should once more head the ticket,
and this, coupled with their natur
al admiration for Mr. Shallenbar
ger, gives him a big prestige in the
race. At the same time democrats
realize that Mr. Derge's splendid
fight for good government two
years ago, and the excellent show
ing he made in the race, has put
the democracy of the state under
certain obligation to him. The
Journal believes the Fremont Her
aid some time ago took the correct
position when it suggested that Mr
Merge be given some place on the
ticket liesides the governorship
Why not nominate him for attorney
general? In the house cleaning
process which Nebraska must at no
distant day undergo, the position
of attorney general will be as im
portant, it not more so, than that
of governor. Mr. lterge's standing
as a clean, conscientious and incur
ruptible man, combined with hi
fine legal ability, would make him
an ideal candidate for the place
On the other hand, Mr. Shallenbar
ger's high standing as a business
man, and his brilliant attainments
in all matters which jiertain to pub
he life, make him the strongest
kind of timlier for chief executive
of the state. Such a combination
would add inestimably to the
strength of the democratic ticket.
