SIOUX FALLS, a L . Dec. SO. (Special)
It haa been learned that a great many
farmers living in the vicinity of Valley
Springs, thl county, are being victimised
by a swindler who ha adopted a new
method of fleecing hie victim. Recently
the stranger visited th homes of a number
of farmer and offered for sal different
kinds of medicines and salve. Sum pur.
chased and other did not. Now an ar
receiving bills for vario ja amounts from a
Sioux Fall attorney, who evidently haa
been engaged to collect sums which ar
not' due. Farmers who did not patronise
the auaa aa well as those who did are being
daring that the time had come when it is
entitled to ask recognition fmm the na
tional party organization and assume its
share In the handling of national affairs.
Consistent and hearty support of republican
principles for years assured the member
of the party In the state the right, he said.
He pointed out the Interdependence of the
east with the west and asserted that in his
view the people of the two sections should
shake hand with "New Tork on the one
side and Nebraska on the other
Cioveraer Voices Beatlaieat.
Governor Mickey said that the repub
licans ot Nebraska are In happy accord
concerning the future interests of the
party. Nebraska, hs declared, had become
an Important factor In the nation, not alone
In feeding it but an Important factor In
political affair.
rseoraska and tne nation, said the gov
ernor, "are irrevocably for Theodore Roose
velt for president and John L. Webster for
vice president." and th utterance met with
prolonged applause.
Jhariea J. Greene said:
"I wa surprised to ream this morning by
reading one of our state journal that I
had had a row with Governor Mickey on
the question of what the state should do
about th candidacies) for president and vice
president. The reporter exercised a great
deal of liberty In writing hi versron of th
feeling supposed to exist, and I desire to
announce here and now what my senti
ments are.
In the first place I recognize that at
least In the west the. sentiment is over
whelmingly for President Roosevelt (ap
plause). I recognise another fact In that
in all thl broad land there 1 no other
candidate for that office: The only other
gentleman who has been mentioned is Mr.
II anna of Ohio, a stalwart republican and
as close to the hearts of the people and
representing the highest and best in the
country as any of our statesmen (applause).
He has in' personal conversations, letters
and Interviews for the past two years de
clared that he would not be a candidate for
the presidency and Is for Roosevelt. I
am not prepared to believe ' that Hanna
doe not mean what he saya, and I doTl't
see who else can even hope to measure
strength with Roosevelt . in the coming
campaign. , ,

"No Interest can organise the people of
the (tate against Roosevelt. I am a re
publican and Relieve in rule by the people
and by majorities and not by any interest
wherever located. If the early democratic
Ideals of thia nation are to be preserved.
let republican see that the people dominate
at conventions and direct their own af
faire. Regardless of any opinion or judg
ment of Roosevelt, It Is a fact thai
he. represents the aspiration of' th
people of thl country, and to discredit
him la to discredit all w cheerish. The
logical course makes it plain that Roose
velt will be nominated by a unanimous con
vention. "Such a story that thia movement ia
planned for the express purpose of being a
cloak to screen an aritl-Rooeevelt move
ment in the west reflects upon the intelli
gence of this gathering and all concerned la
it. We cannot hope or expect to make
any headway against Roosevelt in the west
and If we Intend tomake John L. Web
ster Tic president it Is foolish to suppose
that It can be done In thl manner."
Mr. Greene pointed to the Influence and
strength of Iowa, Kansas and other states,
and said they were great because they
believed in their own men and stood by
them. Nebraska would make no threats
at the convention, he asserted, but would
Insist that tt represents the heart of the
country, though the east may claim Its
share of th brains and commercial prow

A. W. Jefferi spoke of the glory of the
nation and the part Nebraska ahould play
in it Ha aald Mr. Webater ahould be
nominated and elected to ahow the people
of th country that Nebraska la not loade.1
down with Bryan and Bryanism.
E. M. Pollard of Nehawka said that the
Webster alee presidential nomination la
just the thing the state needs at present
to enable It to take its proper place among
the states of the republic. C. F. Reavis
of Falls City declared that the movement
aa in the logical nature of events, and
pointed to Mr. Webater, who, he aald, was
fully representative of the culture, refine
ment, ability and vigor of the west.
Senator Warner of Dakota county de
clared the Webster sentiment strong in
every section of the state. George W.
Dorsey of Fremont told how he had drawn
Senator Quay's attention to Mr. Webster's
candidacy, and that it had 'been favorably
received by the Prnnsylvsnian. as well a
