The Nebraska Insurgent Woodmen
won their case In the district court at
Hastings last week. Two Judges sat
In the trial of the case and they isened
an Injunction preventing tile bead
officers from enforcing the rates
levied at the last head camp. The la
junction holds until Maroh 1, 1914.
As the next head osmp meets in I9M
the chances are that the membership
In this styte will not be further
bothered with an attempt to taereaae
their rates until the meeting of the
next head camp.
There has been considerable talk
among local democrats during the
past week or ten days as to who would
be able to land the postoffioe plum
under the new administration. M. H.
McCarthy, who has for years been one
of the wheel horses of the party and
always supported the nominees of the
party, Is an active candidate for the
appointment as is also George A.
Miles of the Independent. We under
stand that D. A. Doyle, who served
the people of this elty as postmaster
under the last Cleveland adminis
tration and who was the chairman
of the Holt county delegation to the
last democratic state convention, will
also enter the race as a candidate.
Besides the above three we have beard
the names of half a dozen others
mentioned, some of whom are liable *
to get Into the race before the entries
close. The term of the present in
cumbent does not expire until De
cember, 1915,and if the administration
allows appointees to serve their full
term local democrats will have quite
a while to wait before they wlU be
able to get up to the pic saunter.
