QUESTION OF DESIGNATION Labor Commissioner Gar Deride Visit Lands In State Sabject to Homestead Entry to Answer Questions More Fall?. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 24.-Special.)-Seera tary of State Walt has received a letter from X. E. Mowery of Thedford. In Thomaa county, asking for information regarding the rights of a candidate nom Inated by petition since the primary to appear on the regular ballot, both as petition candidate and the regular can' dldate of a party. The party In question since the primary has been placed in nomination by a petition circulated by friends who now wish to have htm . en' dorsed as the regular nominee of the party. The letter does not state in what way he is to become the regular nom ince. It is presumed, however, that l vacancy exists and that the committee desires to fill it. The secretary of state Is of the opinion that he Cannot go on the ticket in the way desired, though he is as yet unable to find any authority exactly catering that point. The board of public lands and buildings purchased a spiral fire escape for the Beatrice Institution this morning at cost of J355. Barton Makes Rnlina. Auditor Barton has received a letter from the insurance commissioner of Iowa regarding an agreement between the Western Union, an Insurance organlza tlon, and the Western Insurance bureau, another organization of the same kind, relative to doing business in this state. Mr. Barton is of the opinion that the point in question would be an Infraction of the Junkin law of the state and will take no action In the matter until he has looked up the law thoroughly. Republicans Stand Firm. The political pilgrims who have re- turned from the Chicago convention are beginning to take up their usual line of work In the state house. Some of them do not care to talk about the convention very much, while others seem pretty well satisfied wtlh the nominations made. Some have come back greatly disap pointed that "Teddy" did not develop greater strength In the convention and deplore the fact that he Is engineering a bolt and the formation of a new party. Most of the disappointed ones say most emphatically that they will not talk for publication, but some of them feel that a new party Is not the right solution of the problem. One man who has been one of the strongest supporters that Mr. Roosevelt has had in the ' state house says that it would be foolish to leave the republican party and form a third party. He thinks that it is only a question of time when the progressives in the party will win, but cannot do it by going out side. "I am a republican," said he, "and shall vote for President Taft. We went into the fight and lost. Four years from now there is. no doubt but that we will win., i If we bolt the party now, or assist in theelect'ion of a democrat It means that the democrats will gain control and it will be all the harder to put this na tion under the progressive form of gov ernment. We must win the republican fight this year. It is our only hope to elect a progressive president four years from now." - Cozad Canal Case, Argument before the railway commis sion was had this morning in the Cozad canal matter over the jurisdiction of the railway commission to regulate service of Irrigation companies.

After having gone over the land I shall then answer all correspondence so that in this manner every questioner wlil get the same Information at the same time. "Many are making inquiry concerning the location of the small tracts of Doug las, Burt, Cuming, Howard, Knox, Madl son, Hall and Boone counties. I am not In possession of the Information concern ing such tracts and I am informed that the land offices are not in possession of the exact location of such tracts, a survey being necessary as a means of locating the same. "The law recently signed by the presi dent reduces the term of actual settle ment from five to three years' residence, allowing five months' absence in each year. It is not possible to commute under this law. "I shall leave Lincoln on Tuesday morn ing for a ten days' trip over this section of our state.
