Barton & Co., Plattsmouth, Neb. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVEN TION AT LINCOLN No Prohibition Endorsement, But Straddle on Railroad Control for Primary Change. Lincoln, Neb., July 25. The Rose water allies, aided and abetted by the torrid weather and the inability of Chairman E. R. Gurney to find the end of his speech, wore all the fight out of the republican state conven tion here today. Ex-Governor Aldrich, who in the cool of the morning had said that not a republican could be elected in Ne braska unless the convention repudi ate the national platform declaration for exclusive federal control of rail road rates, grew calm and docile un der the heat of the sun and the Gur ney's hour and forty minutes speech. E. L. King of Osceola, who had said that Nebraska republicans should never indorse so repugnant a prin ciple, grew quiet and peaceful under the insistence of party leaders that Nebraska could expect no help from the national ticket or committee if it slapped the national platform in the face. And so, working together, the standpatters, the heat anl the length of Gurney's speech controlled the con vention. By the time the platform was reported at 5:15 p. m., only about GO per cent of the delegates were in the hall to approve the draft, their principal business. They did it per- funtorily and unanimously, without cheers or enthusiasm. Then they ad journed. Many Straddlers. The platform committee had iu delayed in vain. Out of its long de liberations had come a platform which must excite admiration bv its innocuousness. It indorsed the pri mary as a principle, but declared the need of amendments to remedy glar ing imperfections. It spoke naught of prohibition, de spite the overwhelming dry sentiment of delegates, but it pledged its candi dates to enforce bv statute and execu tive act any constitutional amend ments he people may adopt, on any subjct whatsoever. It approved the entire national platform, including the troublesome railroad plank, and then qualified this by a paragraph which appears to mean that the original indorsement is to be taken with a grain of salt or i not, just as individual republicans may Unci expedient under varying conditions.
