A CORPORATION MAN SELECTED AS CHAIRMAN !
When the campaign for norai
nations opened in this judicial dis
trict it was openly charged b ;
more than one republican candi
date for the nomination that th
railroad of this district were en
deavoring to secure the nominatioi
of James A. Douglas of Kocl
county , who , as a member of th
legislature had supported ever ;
measure favored by the railroads
and had opposed every measur
demanded by the people. Hi
Work as a railroad lobbyist wa
so open and notorious last winte
during the legislative session tha
such republican papers as thi
Omaha Bee charged him with be
ing a corporation capper and lob
byist. By bringing out sevei
candidates for nominations , whei
only two nominations could bi
made , they succeeded in so divid
ing the anti-corporation vote ' ii
the district that their candidati
Douglas slipped through and se
cured the nomination for the easl
end of the district. One Danie
B. Jencks of Chadron was at the
same time selected as the candidate
for the west end. Jencks was sc
little known in the district and hac
attracted so little notice during
the primary campaign that his
nomination came as a complete
surprise. It was not understood
how an attorney , scarcely hearc
of before , had beaten live wel
known lawyers and secured the
nomination. Of course , everyone
knew that Douglas had the sup
port of the railroads and that their
undivided support had won him
the place , but not until after the
primaries was it discovered that
Mr. Jencks also had the support
of the railroads and that the same
influence had nominated both.
They were both on the same
slate and were both slipped through
by inducing five other attorneys
to enter the race , and while they
were dividing the rank and file of
jhe party vote , the - corporation
cappers were working for the
slate.
Now , that the nominations have
3een secured , the railroads are
coming out in the open and taking
charge of the campaign. First ,
Jouglas and Jenokes are found at
Norfolk holding a conference with
Supt. Reynolds of the Xorthwest-
* rn railroad. Then they journeyed
together to Valentine and spent a
kry in conference with C. II.
Cornell , president of the First
National Bank. Then it is given
out that Mr. Cornell has been se
lected as chairman of their com
mittee , and , a few days later , Can-
ilidates Douglas and Jenckes , and
Ra R. Dixon , the railroad attorney
at O'Neill , and N. D. Jaoksotf ,
the railroad attorney at Xeligh ,
and B. T. White , of Omaha , the
general attorney for the North
western system , all met at Bas-
sett. Of course the public was
not invited to that conference at
I3a > sett. Wo do not know what
was said and done. Probably the
public will be told that they were
called there on legal business.
\Vhatever explanation may ba
made the fact remains that they
were all there in conference to
gether.
Along with all this conies the
information that Jenckes is the

7 4 A\DKEW M , MOKIHSSEY ,
old attorney for the road at Chad
ron. When these circumstance
are all taken together could then
be stronger proof that both Doug
las and Jenckes are the candidate :
of the railroads of this district
Douglas is denounced by the Orna
ha Bee as a railroad lobbyist
Jenckes is admitted to be tin
former attorney for the road , and
since his nomination , is founc
caucusing with a coterie of rail
road attorneys and politicians.
Just think what a spectacle it
was ! the two candidates for dis
trict judges in this district caucus
ing with B. T. White , the gener
al attorney for the railroad , anc
Railrord Dixon and N. D. Jack
son , two of his under attorneys ,
and the political bosses of their
respective counties. Then , con
sider the choice of chairman :
Mr. Cornell was electee ! to the
senate from this district some 20
years ago , and , from the day he
took his seat in the senate until
the passage of the anti-pass law
by the last legislature , he carried
a free pass over the road. During
all this time he has been the po
litical manager for the railroad in
this county the one man to whom
the president and general manag
er of the road look for favors-
political and otherwise. Himself
and the railroad managers have
worked together for a good many
years , and , now , when they are
especially interested in getting
hold of the district bench , he is
the man they select to lead their
candidates out of the wilderness.
You will be getting letters and
literature on the judicial situation
later on , and , when you get those
letters and circulars , take a care
ful look at the signature and see
if it is not C. H. Cornell's the
same name chat has been on the
railroad company's list of free
pass-holders for 20 years. Then
cast your mind's eye back 20years
if you have lived in the county that
longand see if he is not the man
who has always been called in and
consulted whenthe railroads wanted
anything in this part of Nebraska.
You may wonder why the rail
roads are taking such an interest
in our judicial district this year ,
but you will not have to look far
for an explanation Heretofore they
have had control of the supreme
court and they did not care who
sat on the district bench , for , if
decisions did not go to suit them ,
they would be reversed in the
supreme court. This year there
was a revolt against their much
pampered supreme court and
Judge Sedgwick , their candidate
in the republican primaries , was
turned down and Judge Keese was
nominated as an anti-railroad can
didate on the republican ticket ,
ind Judge Loomis was nominated
< *
is an anti-railroae ] candidate on
the democratic ticket. With two
inti-railroad candidates in the Meld
for supreme judge , they are driven
bo seek shelter in the district court ,
[ f they can get control of the dis
trict courts of the state they can
surrender control of the supreme
ourt , for their friends in the dis
trict court will protect them. They
Snd their hold loosening on the
supreme court and they are grasp
ing at the lower courts ,
