SOME DEMOCRATIC HARMONY Allen and Ifaher Go to Headquarters with Videl Different Stories. EQUALIZATION " BOARD TO TESTIFY Summoned la Semnha County Case to Tell Way They Raise tho Valna tloa Of that Coaaty Flvo ' Per Cont. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. . (Special.) Something Is doing In the democratic ranks. Chairman Allen. of the state, committee Is In Chicago looking up the situation and Colonel John Maher, who belongs to the anti-Bryan wing of the party. Is in, New York hobnobbing with the big guns Who are In control of the national democratlo committee. Allen went to Chicago first erul If Is supposed he went to get next to the financial situation of the party more than any other situation. Right on the heels of AJlenJa departure Colonel Maher saddled up. and started for New York. ' ' Whether there 4 anything significant about the visits of thess tw.o ..to confer with the head of the party at the same time will come out later , Mr. Allen probably would accept a little financial assistance from the -national . committee In carrying the legislature for M r. Bryan, while Colonel Maher would Just as soon tell the. treasurer of the committee that such assistance would not be appreciated by tha great majority of the party In Nebraska. It can easily be figured out that the national committee will soon be In receipt of two distinct re ports on conditions In Nebraska If the re ports have not already been made. Mr. Allen did not 'go -16 Chicago to secure speakers of national repute for Nebraska. This much was annbunced at headquarters, where It was stated that Allen merely went to look over the situation. Whatever the object of the two visits at about the sama time, this much is cer tain: Allen, the brotlW-ln-law of Bryan, will "knock" on Maher and the colonel will eertalnlv tell the eastern democrats what a disturbing element Is Allen and his back er Each will try to head off anything the other may try to do, and the odds are In favor of Maher, .because he and Judge Parker are such cronies to say nothing of Sheehan, Murph r and Hill. , whom Allen knows only by hearsay, with Bryan the sayer. , With these two out of town, however, the valiant pops are still' plugging nway. Up In the top story of the Royal hotel the chairman and a couple of girls and a clerk hold forth every hour during the day. working for Watson and Tlbblem nnd Berge. They are getting ont some literature, too, and the state Is being plnstered with the announcement of the "ox roast" t':at la to be pulled off nt Epworth League park Sep tember 17.

Tomorrow ,the menYbers of the State Board of Equalisation will be . hauled up to tell how and why they increased the valuation of .Nemaha, county 5. per, cent over the re turns of the county'assessox and the county board. This was decjded upon yesterday, when Deputy . Attccsejf . General Norrls" Brown went to Aubura to, Jry- the case. Mr. Brown will argue that the courts have no Jurisdiction In the- matter, but -that the work of the state board- is final, according to the statutes. . The decision will aJTect all of the counties whose valuations were changed by the state board. 'Judge Kelllger will come to Lincoln to take the testimony. Pierce Predicts Election of Kennedy. Insurance Deputy Pierce, who has been affiliated with the so-called antl-machlna wing of the republicans of Omaha, does not feel badly over the nomination ot John L. Kennedy for congress,, but, on the other hand, predicts his election, because of his eminent fitness to fill the place. "There Is no questicn about the election of Mr. Ken nedy' said Mr.- Pierce. . "He Is an able, clean man, capable of. doing something In congress. He has on former occasions been a candidate for the nomination, but he has never been known as a machine man nor an antl-machlna man. In fact, he has stood for what he believed was light, whether it was the platform of the machine or of the antls. For that reason he Is a candidate upon whom all the republicans In, the dis trict can unite, and they will unite on him." Thompson Goes West. D. E.
