Our Lincoln Letter.
( Special Correspondence. )
Extra session talk has been re-
vived by a letter sent out by W. J.
Bryan urging that an extra session
be called for the purpose of enact
ing an initiative and referendum
law. To be more exact , Mr. Bryan
urges that an extra session be called
for the purpose of submitting a
" 1\
constitutional amendment provid-
ing for the initiative and referen-
dum , the same to be voted on at the
coming general election. Mr. Bryan
has written to each democratic
member of the legislature asking
for a definite reply at to the mem-
ber's position on the question. At
the same time he has asked the Di-
rect Legistation League to sound
the republican members of the leg-
islature. An initiative and refer-
endum measure was before the last
legislature , but failed to pass for
the reason that many members who
are in favor of the bill refused to
vote for it or any other law until
the platform pledges were enacted
into law. The ' platform contained
no declaration on the initiative and
referendum. Taking this position
the bank guaranty bill was sup
ported , because it was a party
I
pledge , ' by democrats who were per-
sonally opposed to it.

Rumors of candidates for state
and congressional offices are grow-
ing more and more numerous : , now
that ; the sun is shining on both
sides of the fence. It may be in-
ieresting to know the names of men
nentioned for the various offices.
For governor the democratic can-
; .
- .
didates are Shallenberger and Dahl-
man , and the republican candidates
are Aldrich and Fries. .
For secretary of state the avowed
candidates are Pool , democrat ; and
\Vait , republican. Both of them
have filed.
For railroad commissioner the
republican candidates who have I
filed are Clark of Douglas , and Ewel
of Hall. For the democrats , Brooks
of Gage and Hayden of Lincoln
have filed , and Trenmore Cone of I
Saunders has been mentioned. I
I
For treasurer , George of Custer ,
republican , and : Sturdevant of Fur-
nas , democrat , have filed.
For Senator , \Vhedon of Lan-
caster and Burkett of Lancaster ,
both republicans , have filed. Gil-
bert M. Hitchcock has announced
his candidacy as a democrat , but he
has not yet filed."r. . B. Price of
Lancaster is also a democratic can-
didate.

"When is a lake not a lake ? "
Fish and Game Commissioner Geilus
would like to have an answer to
that conundrum. , - Recently be
prosecuted a couple of men for
seining in Jackson's lake , near
South Sioux City. The prosecuting
attorney and the county judge wepe I
in sympathy with the defendants :
Jackson's lake was formerly the bed
of the Missouri river , but today is
entirely surrounded by platted land I
that pays taxes to ' Nebraska. Once
in a while , when the river gets un
usually high , it overflows into the
lake. The county judge held that
this made it a part of the Missouri
river , and discharged the defendants.
- - o - .
Auditor Barton has announced
that he will issue a warrant in pay-
ment of the Falary claimed : by Sec.
Ludden unless enjoined from so do-
ing. * This is on ' the basis of an
opinion rendered by the attorney
general to the effect that the legis
lature cer.tamly did. not expect a
man to perform the work without
compensation. Yet the law dis-
tinctly states that the office shall
be unsalaried. Evidently , the ne
cessity , of having the Ludden voice
on tap at g. o. p. conventions is
thoroughly recogiiizacl.

i The democrats "of Southwestern
Nebraska will banquet at Beaver
City on May : 16 , and one . of the
greatest meetings in the history of
that section is anticipated. Gov.
Shallenberger , E. D. Sutherland
and others will speak.
I am anxious to taarn l the names . .
of all the farmers in Cherry coun-
ty who are practicing "clean sum-
mer fallowing , " which is the most
important. practice in connection
with the so-called "dry farming
methods , of which so much is be-
ing written at the present time.
There are fertile soils in the ex
treme western part of Nebraska
on which it is folly to use the
summer fallow , while there others
appearing much the same on the
surface and often not more
than one-half mile distant from
the former on which the summer-
fallow should be made use of. If
any are practicing clean summer
fallowing [ whether they call it this
or summer tillage , or summer
culture , or the Campbell system ,
I [ wish you would send me your
name and address.-F. J. Alway ,
