"Will Open Joint QunrtprM.
The domocratic and populist cam
paign malingers have practically de
cided to establish joint headquarters
in Lincoln. The offices of tho two
committees will be side by side in the
same building and if the plans of
Chairman Hall and De Franco are
carried out tho campaign work will
be arranged so that there will be no
duplication. Each chairman will
maintain supervision over his own or
ganization, but they will proceed
jointly nnd under a distinct under
standing with each other. Heretofore
the two committees have acted in
dependently and as a consequenco
there has been much confusion in tho
campaign work, especially when ono
hnd its headquarters at Lincoln and
tho other in Omaha. Chairmen Hall
and Do Franco have arrived at an
agreement relative to the location nnd
