'Washington , March 7 , ( Spe cial. ) Representative Kinkaid of Nebraska today declared that be has every reason to beleive that'hewill , be renominated and re-elected. His belief , he said , is baded on the numerous lettcrb he re'ceives dailyfrom , the voters in his district urging him to run again and' pledging him their support. Speakitfg of reports that his interest in Alaska coal lands are proving harmful , Mr Kmkaid 'said that his transac tions in connection with .the- acquisition of land in the Green group were ' open and above board. ' ' ' ' „ "I have never felt it necessary to defend myself in this connect ion , " , said.MMr. Kinkaid. " 1 point with pride tto the sworn testimony of Louis R. Glavis , the witness' who brought the charges against Secretary Ball- iriger. He has , s'worn , that m ) cpnnection with the Alaska coul lands was in no way improper , and Mr. Brandeis has expressed a > similar opinion. I have nothing ing'Id 'be ashamed of in regard to my purchase of Alaska coal land. " tMr. . Kinkaid ridiculed the sug gestions which are being made in. Nebraska * that his health is poor and for that reason he . , should retire. . < "I am , better \n health today * than at any time since I have been a member of congress , " ' said. Mr , Kinkaid. MMy friends ' in' Nebraska need not worry on ' that score. " In support -of his statement that his constituents uare pre- 1 pared to send him back to con gress , Mr. Kinkaid gaveout | .the > fallowing statement : "Hon. M. P. Kinkaid , Wash ington , "B.C.

" This is signed by central com- mitfjse of one county. Ajx extract from a letter writ ten tjy a prominent Sixth district republican to * another inquiring of hin ] whether Mr , Kinkaid * will be a/candidate for congress again "But it is my judgment he will be. As to conditions in this county , all the republicans are , , fur Kinkaid. Every leader , every . , worker of the p.irty and the rank and file are with and for him. Kinkaid can be re.elcclcdjf Dom inated and Ib , HJve ( that'if he is a candidate that he will secure the nomination. I think it uu- wise to talk anv other candidate than Mr. Kinkaid this year. " Washington News l.ct'er ' Washington , NHirch 16,1910 Judge W. F- Norris , formerly of 'McCobkNcbr. . , ' Who For a number of years' 'represented the United Statts"ih a judicial ca pacity in the bench in the Philip pine Islands , was the principal speaker at the monthly meeting of the Nebraska Ass'n held ut "Neighborhood House" in this city last week. "Neighborhood House" is in all essentials a settlement House , and is under the charge of former Nebraskans , Mr. and Mrs. Neligh Mr. Neligh being for many years a resident of West Point , They have been settlement workers for many years. It has been but recently that "Neighborhood House , " which , is located in southw.est Washington , amid squalor .and want , has came to the front as an institution which has changed conditions inmuas- utably in a neighborhood bound ed on one side by the. Potomac river , , on another side , by stables , and still on another side by a garbage plant , the fourth side open to dumping grounds , government storage places and the like. Judge Norris faced a hundred or more Nebraskans , and he was accorded close attention in his heart to heart talk about con ditions i" the Philippines. While the address , seemingly was ex temporaneous , it showed careful preparation , close analysis and a statesmanlikci arraignment of conditions as he found them dur ing his seven years on the-Philip- pine bench. Summed up , it was a complete endorsement of the policies of resident Taft , whom he regard ed as one of the greatest-mission aries who had ever carried , nbt only religion , but the flag , to a people who seemed ready to re ceive enlighttnent , and who he believed regarded the Stars and Stripes as the beason standing for Square dealing tn the Orient ; and that around the emblem of the states the nations of the world would foregather at the close of the present century. Almost every county in Ne braska was represented at the meeting , and it looked like "Old Settlers' Day" in Nebraska to see the number of well known and familiar people present. Senator Isidor Raynor , of Maryland , in his answer to the speech of Senator Burkett , has taken occasion to use such thoughts presented'by the senior senator from Nebraska on the Poatal Savings Bank 'bill , by heafing his speech in the Con gress Record as follows : "A Few Obituary Observations Up on the Constitution. " It will be recalled that > Senator-Burkct < paid his compliments to the senior senator from Maryland , who is a strict obstructionist of the constitution , by stating.that Senator Haynor , if he had been a great musician would have al ways insisted upon singing--re- queims ; that if he had been a preacher he would always have been found delivering homilies for the departed. Rayuor came back the other day with a vitri olic attack upon Senator Burkett , forgetful of his. position , as , con stitutional lawyer ( self-appoi.nt- ed ) and really .rijade , a Jaughing stock of himself in his answer to Burkett's closely prepared speech. Raynor w s'undoubtedly mad all " ' "the way through'when he made his reply to Burkett ; and while it pqnvul.s d the senators and interested the galleries , the con census of opinion is that Burkett not only had the best ofit , but thatjiis refusal to reply to Sena itor JRaynor showed farther renchinR1 knowledge of the situation than Ranor ; for the Postal Bank bill was passed by every republican voting for it , and . . .every democrat voting against it , save , one. Tha was . Burkett's triumph. * ) County Board Proceedings * Broi.cn How , March 8 , 1910.
