This is taken by a number of politi cians to indicate how little value is being attached to a third oarty sen atorial nomination. Bigelow is known only as a labor lawyer in Omaha, with but only a casual acquaintance out in tb.e state, and the knowing boys say he would get nowhere in a race where two such well known men as Hitchcock and Howell or Jefferis were entered. Petitions in behalf of Bigelow have boen circulated at all of the third party congressional confer ences. His nomination Is what labor leaders are to get out of the combin ation with the farm leaders. J. L.
