THERE PROMISES IB BE A LIVELY
CAMPAIGN FOR COHGRESSMAH?
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
The Republican Ring of the State Capital are Trying Hard to Fix
Up Some Plan to Defeat Congressman Maguire.
White no democrats can be
found who admit knowing: any
thing about it, some of the repub
lican politicians of Lincoln are
hinting that Congressman John
A. Maguire may find a lion in his
path when it comes to seeking a
renomination next year. About
all they seem to have to base this
.on is the fact that there arc
several democrats in the district
who are looking with longing eyes
on the honors that John is carry
ing about, and who think that they
would better grace the position
than does the present congress
man. They say that friends of
some of these men have been
around trying to find out if there
isn't some anti-third term senti
ment existent among democrats.
While a rumpus over the demo
cratic nomination might excite
joyous comment among repub
licans who would like to see the
First district recaptured, there is
little chance that anybody could
beat Maguire out of a renomina
tion. Making no pretense to or
atorical pre-eminence, Maguire
has been busy the last three years
making a lot of staunch friends
among the democrats of the dis
trict. The primary system, too,
gives the man who is in a decided
advantage over the man who is
out trying to get in. It might be
different if the convention system
Ktill prevailed.
There is a certain analogy be
tween the careers of Bryan and
Maguire that is interesting. Bryan
came to Nebraska in 1887, and
immediately proceeded to speech
making. Hi) excellence as an
orator soon gave him a following
among the younger democrats, a
popularity that was not at all
pleasing to the older leaders, like
Miller, Morton, Boyd and North.
In 1888 Morton made a strong
tight to be elected to congress
from the First district, but was
beaten by Connell. When, two
years later, young Mr. Hryan ask
ed for the nomination the older
chaps gladly handed it over to
him, feeling confident that where
Morton had failed Bryan cold not
win and a good, sound licking
would put him back in the ranks
where they thought he belonged.
Instead of that Bryan had the
audacity to win, and has ever
since been the big man in state
politics. Maguire was never the
menace to the political hopes of
latter-day leaders that Bryan was
in 1800, but when three years ago,
there was a chance to run as a
democratic candidate for con
gress, his request was gladly
granted, it being figured that
when men of the standing and
acquaintance in the district of
Brown, Doyle, Hanks, Lamaster,
Berge and Manahan could not
make it, Maguire was welcome to
try. The rest is history. Rome
of those who have seen hope long
deferred still further deferred by
the twin successes of Maguire
may be looking around to see if
there is any opening to get in, but
it would be a brave man who
would make the trial.
Republicans who have kept tab
on the aspirations of First dis
trict men are of the opinion that
Clark will have little opposition
for the nomination. Lincoln
