State Capital.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 15. (Special.) The
Third ward of Lincoln haa taken the In
itiative In the matter of endorsement of
candidates for delegates-at-large to the
national convention by declaring for I.
M. Raymond at a meeting held last night.
A Roosevelt club was organised and reso
lutions were adopted endorsing the candl-.
dacy of President Roosevelt and pledging
the members of the club for the renoml
natlon and election of Governor Mickey,
and commending his administration of af
fairs. When the meeting was called to
order Webster Eaton Introduced a resolu
tion endorsing the candidacy of President
Roosevelt and declaring the opposition of
the ward to the candidacy of any Ne
braska candidate for vice president. 8ome
of the leaders of the party thought It
unwise to antagonise any candidate at this
time and said so, with the result that the
resolution was declared out of order, be
cause the club had not organized. Later
a compromise was effected by the adoption
of a resolution favoring delegates to the
national convention who were pronounced
supporters of President Roosevelt.
Based on a conversation to which Mr.
Webster was a party yesterday and the
movement started last night, there will
certainly be a fight In the next state con
vention over the Webster candidacy. Mr.
Webster was asked if he would consent
to the naming of a delegation to the na
tional convention that was for Roosevelt
first, last and all the time, and that would
be for him as long as there was hopes
of his being nominated for vice president
Mr. Webster Is quoted as saying that he
would not consent to any such Instruct
tlons, but that the delegation must be
pledged also for him first, last and all
the time. This means, of course, that
Mr. Webster will demand endorsement
and when he, does that the Lancaster part
of the convention will certainly oppose
him.
Forming Roosevelt Clobs.
Word comes to Lincoln ' that Roosevelt
clubs are being formed all over the state
and much enthusiasm for the president is
being manifested at the meetings. J. L.
McBrlen, deputy superintendent, and Nor
rls Brown, deputy attorney general, of
ficiated as speakers at a Roosevelt club
organization at Orleans last night and re
port that part of the state being In the
Roosevelt band wagon to stay. When the
signing of the roll began several popu
lists who have been prominent In the doings
of their party signed with the republicans
and announced that they would support
the candidacy of the president Mr. Me
Brlen Is also In receipt of several letters
from men who were heretofore affiliated
with the fusion cause announcing that they
Intended to support the republican nominee
Dlscnssln Appointments.
In the meantime there are one or two
appointive places at the disposal of the
republican party that will require some
nice engineering to settle to the satisfac
tion of and to the best Interests of the
party. In the first place the delay In nam'
Ing a successor to Lee Herdman, clerk of
the supreme' court. Is likely soon to cause
some agitation. It looks as though Harry
Lindsay could have the place for the ask
ing and some republicans are anxious for
him to do the asking and get this, settled
Mr. Lindsay, It is said, has already en
dorsed another candidate for this place
and It Is beginning to be talked down here
that he should either speak for the place
at once or state that he will not accept It
and thus get out of the way.
The naming of a successor to W. 8. Sum
mers. United States district attorney. Is
being talked of considerably, and while the
sentiment Is strong for a change down
here at least no one Is being strongly urged
for the place.
D. E. Thompson, who has already set sail
for home, but who Is not expected for some
weeks, may surprise his friends by drop
ping In In time to attend the meeting of
the state committee on the 20th. His fol
lowing here Is certainly anxious that he
come as soon as possible. And while this
Is going on sentiment seems to be chrystal
Using for Just one convention and very
shortly after that Is announced a state
ticket will take shape, and probably not
before.
Test of Scavenger Law.

missioners of Douglas county from col
