CALL HIM THE BOSS OF BOSSES Proved to Have Carefully Mapped Out Program In Mind and Did .ot Preside with Idea of Promoting Harmon'. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 31. (Special.) Busi ness was at a standstill practically, ex- ccpt with the clerks, at the state house this afternoon. Everybody was talking poltles and the split In the republican ' convention yesterday. Jt Is the general ; opinion among the state house people , and shared by the governor's appointees ! that he made the mistake of his life ! yesterday in accepting the chairmanship .of the convention. "Had the governor taken that chair manship with the Idea of trying to get harmony," said one man this morning, "he might have been Justified In it, but ihe seemed to take pleasure In running .'the steam roller over the Taft people land seemed to enjoy the situation when 'the Taft delegates, falling to receive j recognition at the hands of the conven tion, left the convention hall." "We have heard a great deal In the ;last two days," said a republican this morning, "about the work of the bosses, but when I saw the governor, as chair .'man of that convention, pull a type writ 1 ten program, prepared by a committee I of self constituted leaders from his pocket and run the convention according jto the line laid out therein, I rather feel jthat all of the bosses are not to be found ; in the ranks of the Taft crowd." Among those who lingered In Uncolri today after participating In the conven tions yesterday were N. P. McDonald and Professor Thomas of Kearney. "I lam fully In accord with the work of the Taft convention yesterday and am for president Taft. I expect to do all I can for his election. He Is the regular nomi nee of the republican party and there ls 'no other," said Mr. McDonald. Speaker (or Moouc John O. Sprecher the Schuyler states man, was a caller at the office of General , Phelps this morning. Senator Sprecher Is here to attend the third party of bull mose convention todHy, but at noon had ot been able to locate the man who ctAied the convention or find where It was to be held. . "I did not attend the . republican convention yesterday," said the senator, but from what I have read in the- papers I think that the Taft men are In the right Mr. Taft Is the only candidate of the republican party and men who cannot support him have no right to the term republican. The five Roosevelt electors should get off of the ticket and let their places be filled By men who will vote for President Taft if he should carry the state." The men who ran the strain roller yes terday are very quiet today. They do not seem to be nearjy as Jubilant as yesterday and are beginning to see the position they have placed themselves In F. P. Corrlck refused to talk and re ferred all questtons to some one else. As Corrlck was one of the committee who put up the Job yesterday, his silence this morning is suggestive of possible future disappointment. It seems to be the general opinion that the prayer of the governor's record clerk ' at the opening of the convention for a "square deal," and a "harmonious 'aa'hering" must have been steam rol- lered before It reached even the ears of ; the prospective chairman of the convention. Six Bootlegger Pay Fines at Fairbury FAIRBURY, Neb., July 31.-Special.)- Six bootleggers were arrested yesterday at Diller, fourteen miles east of Fair- bury, by Sheriff Ed Hughes and his deputy, Pat Shea, and brought to Fair bury.

All paid their fines and were released It is asserted that the unlawful selling of liquor has been existing in Diller for some time and a number of Diller citi zens finally filed complaints. Loaded Wagon Runs Over Boy's Head HARTINGTON. Neb., July Sl.-(Spe- cial.)-Edward Dendtnger, the 12-year-old son of C. C. Dendinger, narrowly escaped death Monday afternoon by being run over by a load of hay. The boy was on top of the load when in some way he fell off and rolled down in front of the wagon, striking one of the horses as he fell and startins the team.
