Reduced Train Service Opposed Mass Meeting at Albion Shows Citizens Unamious Against Plan of U. P. Albion, Neb., Feb. 8. (Special.) Vigorous protest was voiced at a mass meeting here against the cur tailment of trains on the Albion and Spaulding branches of the Union Pacific as proposed by the company. The .meeting asserted that it was relegating them back to the service of 30 or 40 years ago. The protest is general over Boone, Nance and Greeley counties. Large delegations vill attend the hearing of the state ' railway commission at Columbus February 9 to file protests. Every town on the branch will be represented, as 'will the Farmers unions and shippers' associations. At the mas meeting it was pointed out that under the proposed change it will require three days to go to Omaha from Albion and return. It is charged that business correspond ence will be delayed 24 hours. The plan of the railroad is to sub stitute a motor, car for the present passenger train. The motor will not carry mail or baggage. One freight train will also serve the branch. The feeling of indignation against the proposed charge is the most wide spread and unanimous ever voiced against any project. The people in sist i t is an insult to offer the pro posed service in view of the revenue received from the territory. Gooch Mercantile Company Incorporated at Lincoln Lincoln, Feb. 8.

Bryan Followers Say Ostennan Is Being Made'Goat'- Charze Made That Hitchcock and Mullen Seek to Obtain Delegation to Amend t Dry Law. Lincoln, Feb. 8. (Special.) The Bryan-for-governor camp here is openly charging the Mullen-Hitchcock faction with conniving to slaughter Theodore Osterman of Merrick county, politically, to keep Charles W. Bryan from getting the democratic nomination for governor and insure success of either former Governor Neville or former Governor Shallenberger. Bryan's friends say this is a repe tition of tactics pursued by the re actionary wing of the party in pat campaigns in which Hitchcock fol lowers urged progressive members of their party into a fight against Bryan in the primaries in order to insure nomination of a reactionary candi date to their liking. Norton Upsets Plans. J. N. Norton of Polk was the Mullen-Hitchcock choice at first, so the story goes. But Norton, a dry man. absolutely refused to align himself with the liquor element in his party led by Mullen and'Hitchcock. Osterman, not quite so strong or so well known, but sufficiently pro gressive in tendencies to pull votes from Bryan, was the second choice and last reports were to the effect Osterman was nibbling at the bait of the Omaha politicians. Nor is it believed Mullen and Hitchcock will lose much sleep if Norton goes into the third party, be lieving it will merely strengthen the reactionary democrats and draw still more progressive support from Bryan. Work for Shallenberger, That Hitchcock has asked Shallen berger to run for governor and is secretly behind a quiet Shallenberger boom in the state, while ostensibly pushing Osterman' candidacy, is a statement in circulation among Bryan democrats. The Bryan followers assert that Bryan in the coming campaign would be a pill - Hitchcock absolutely couldn't swallow, because it is known Bryan contemplates arraying dry democrats against the attempt of liquor interests to elect sufficient con gressmen and senators to insure overriding the Volstead act. And, Hitchcock, they say, is one of the men the wets are depending upon. Increase Reported in Farm Crop Exports Washington, Feb. 8.

Mr. Young said: "I am in sympathy with reduction of taxe and t am a taxpayer of this county, but I stand for constructive reduction and not destructive reduc tion. Since approximately 75 per cent of the taxe of thi county are paid by farmer and since aaricul- ture is the moot important industry in the county, I believe we should spend sotne money in the improve ment of thi industry in Dawson county.

Minn, League May Break New Party Slate Sorfiiftm Making Determined Kffort to Gain Endorse incut of Howell. Lincoln. Feb. (Special.) The likelihood of breaking the political slate of official leader of the new third party by the Nonpartisan league at its annual meeting here February is was under discussion today m political circle. That C A. Sorenson. Nonpartisan league attorney and staunch support er of K. B. Howell, may attempt to get the league to endorse the Howell candidacy, despite the official disap proval ot Howell by J. II. iMliniatoii, state chairman ot the third party, was looked upon a a possibility. From the first Sorenson disapprove ed of the third party movement and insisted that the league pursue its old tactic of endorsing candidate in the two old parties. Arthur G. Wray with Edgar How ard and other overrode Sorcnson's objections and Sorenson finally joined, half-heartedly, in the third party movement. Then at Grand Island came the capture of official positions in the third party by, oldtimc populists with Edmistou at the head and former Nonpartisan league leaders playing minor chords. As affairs stand at present, the old time populists have the appearance of controlling the machine, but the real machinery, the third party paper and the Nonpartisan mailing list, is in the ppssession of Sorenson. Sorenson made one unsuccessful attempt last week to get Howell on the third party ticket. As to whether he will lead a fight to get the league leaders to endorse Howell's candidacy, go into the primaries and demand re publican ballots to insure Howell's nomination is the question which the league meeting will answer.
