Douglas county has given Its assurance to Roosevelt next year In the most substantial way that Is, by every leader of avery faction uniting for A splendid victory for the whole stats and county ticket this fall. When men like Webster and Green. Rosewater and Cur ley, Moores and Van Dusen. speak elo quently for ths republican ticket from ths same rostrum, It means that a strong pace Is set for republicanism throughout the state. It means that they all see that Roosevelt will bs triumphant and ths great west will have a large part In making him so. and that the man or faction that sulks In ths tent this year will not be heard in council next year. Douglas county made the test. The result of pri mary and convention Is sufficient warrant for republican support, and that Is good doctrine In Fillmore county, where every candidate Is a clean man and was nom inated In a fair convention struggle. It Is certainly gratifying to be generally as sured that Fillmore leadors are not to be outdone by those of Douglas. Geneva Signal: A few weeks ago a lane harmony meeting was held In Omaha at which were gathered the representatives of the various factions of the republican party In Douglas county. This was before the county convention. It was freely pre dicted that the harmony would not last beyond the county convention.
