la not encumbered ith a long list of
candidates for county office.. The only
oncers to elect are legislators, county at
torney, county commissioner, assessors
and road supervisors In the cmntry pre
tlncts. Lancaster county li entitled to
rt,n renresentatlves In the legislature-
two senators and five representatives in the
hr.iup nd for these positions there are I
twenty-eight candidates. In all cases me
republican candidates are placed In the
lead on the ballot and following them are
the tuslonlsls. then the prohibitionists
and the candidates by petition. This ar
rangement Is tn keeping with the opinion
recently written by Attorney General
Smyth, who held that the fusion vote could
not be considered as the vote of one
party. Nearly all of the popocratlc county
clerks have disregarded this ofSelal con
struction of the law and have given th
fusion candidates a preferred portion on
tbe ballot.
For state senators the republican candi
dates are RlcTnard O'Neill and John
rrompen. Mr: O'Neill took an active part
In the campaign In this county last year.
John Trompen served two terms as county )

and T. J. Doyle, both ot whom are lawyers, j jae aaa after a couple cf lively campaign
Mr. Doyle was the fusion candidate for ' sonc, by the Tremont quartet he latro-
dlstrlct Judge last year, but was over-
-whelmlngly defeated. The prohibition can
dldates arc J. P. Kettelwell and E. E. White
and the mid-road candidates are Fred Her
man and J. C. Kucera.
Tbe republican candidates lor tbe flTe
representative position are Arthur W.
'ranV,"John II. Mockett. Jr.. Clifford Tefll.
E J. Shellborn and Charles J, AVarner, and
tbe fusion candidates for the same potl
tlona are Manning W. Cochrane, Henry
Scbaal. J. E. Miller, J. C Muggletcn and
"William Nelson.
For county attorney, James L. Caldwell,
the republican candidate, is meeting with
practically no opposition. His fusion op
ponent, F. D. Volkman ot Havelock, was
named only recin'.ly by the county fusion
committee and he Is not making a serious
effort to be elected. Mr. Caldwell has served
two terms as deputy attorney under Thomas
C. Munger. who Is now engineering the re
publican campaign In the First congressional
district for Congressman Burkett. Mr. Mun
gcr's administration has been above criti
cism and the voters of the county see no
reason for electing a man of opposite po
litical beliefs.
About .the sane one-tided condition exists'
in the race for county commissioner. George
Welton is the republican candidate. His
opponent, A. E, Sutherland, has no hope
whatever of succeeding. There are no can
didates against Newell A. Bacon, tne repub
lican nomlnet) for sanitary trustee.

From tbe appearance of the scene at the

populist national or state committees.
When the train stopped the people on the
platform gathered at tbe rear car and a
minute later Mr. Bryan, accompanied by
his wife, appeared and made their way
through the crowd. Vice Chairman Ud-

them to a carriage. On the train were
several newspaper corespondents -whs

today twenty-four hours late, with Its star

badly damaged. Statements ot different

cabin passengers and 24 ln the steerage.
