Fresoxt, Neb., Oct. 27.—[Special to Tnur Ber.]—The people of Dodge county, irre- spective of party, have been favorably dis posed toward Judge Post from the day of his uomination. Through his long servico on thebench in this district thoy huve learned to esteom him wost highly as a man and to regard him ns an exceptionally clean and able jurist. So when the democratic par managers decided to make no nomination in the place of Broady and later pulled their candidates for regents off the ticket they were compelled to go exther to Post or to Edgerton. They have been going in great numb to Post and when the ballots are counted he will be found to havea large majority over Edgerton 1 Dodge county, Nearly all the best kuown demourats of the county are giving Post their hearty suppo W. H. Munger, who is well known from Omaha to Ogullala, says “I am for Post because [ believe him to be an able and up- right man, whose ability is of a much higher order than that of his opponent.” KFred W, Vauhan, a democratic attorney whose practice in 1’0st's court has led him to admire the man, says ‘1 am satisfied that Post is tho ablest man of the two.” Otto Huette of the hardware firm of Theo- dore Huette & Son, has beon an enthusiastic Post man_ since the day Broady withdrew from the democratic ticket, Dr. N, H. Brown is another democrat who 1 an out-spoken friend of Post believe in Post,” said Mr. Brown. “Lknow him to bo o man excellently qualiied for the placo and I am well satisfied that his opponent is not, 1am also of the opinion thut Post bas been outrageously abused und misrepresented in the vile attacks which have veen made upon him and I do not believe in voting to endorse such violatious of decency, Post is a good enough candidato for me. J. (. Lee, for many years a democratic meuwber of the city council, is unqualitiedly for Post. “l1do vot think I wil be found voting for Edgerton,” said Mr. Lee. "My party has no candidate in the field und T feol at liberty to take my choice of the others and therefore I must vote for Post because I kuow him to be an excellent man for su- preme judge. 1 would never vote for Edge ton.” These are samples of expressions showing the democratic sentiment in Fremont. In other parts of the county the feelin is just as strong for Post. In the north part, where everything Is overwhelmingly democratic, Post will got a large majority, J. I. Smith is working for him, Johe M. Diels is betting money on Post. and so is Johu Ro nberg and hosts of other democratic leaders, whose ef forts will all assist in swelling Post's ma. jority on election day al.]1—The grand and Rev Warsaw's fousing Rally.
