n hue today , so far as the action of

corned.
Ben Chamberlain , secretary to Unit
ed States Senator Pomercnc , cnmo
with credentials sulllclent to Insure
his Identity. Although his presence
In the city was not generally known
until Into last night , his arrival was
not too late to create n furore among
the lenders who had nrrlved nnd hnd
not yet retired.
When It became known cnrly todny
that Chamberlain was In the city In
the Interest of Gov. Harmon , his pres
ence was the solo subject of discus-
Hlon In hotel lobbies. Harmon head

attention fioiu friends nnd opponents

Kates agreed to permit the chairman

tion regardless of how many of the
delegntcs were present In person.
After nnmlng n committee on reso
lutions the convention took n recess
to 2:30 : o'clock. /

The resolution which I. D. Evans at
tempted to read nnd introduce from
the floor was as follows :
"Whereas , the state primary law
provides for n direct vote of the pee
pie on the selection of nil candidates
and provides the endorsement of can

In Deadlock Over Taft.
At 3:30 : o'clock , nn hour after tin
delegntes had reassembled , the rest
lutlons committee was deadlocks
over the question of an endorsemen
of President Taft. D. M. Nettletoi
and W. A. Seeleck refused , It wn
said , to agree to such endorsement.
Tied Up On Taft.
The Lancaster delegation held i
caucus before the convention openei
nnd the question of a united vote wn
proposed by one of the members. Ol
jectlon was nppnrent nnd the matte
was not pursued further. It was aj
parent , however , that the delegatlo :
which came from Mr. Bryan's horn
was not unanimous on some question
that were expected to come before th
convention.
The delegates began assembling a
the theater shortly after the nee
hour. While every leader declare
himself for pence , nn undercurrent e
doubt was apparent and when the coi
ventlon was called to order there wa
n noticeable nervousness among th
delegates and an apparent fear the
some person might precipitate a strui
Ble when the principal business of th
convention , the formation of a pla
form , was laid before the body.
Omaha Carries Harmon Banners.
The Douglns county delegation , 12
strong , came In early and paraded th
town with the two Harmon banner
The Lancaster delegation also arrive
early. Nearly every delegntlon wr
In caucus during the early part of tl
day.
An Air of Harmony.
There was an air of hnrmony whe
the delegntes got into the hotel lo
bles this morning and their lendi
was an apostle of peace. The Dou
las county delegation , which is credl
ed with pushing the Harmon booi
went into caucus at once when it a
rived , but only routine business wi
transacted. No mention was mat
of any proposed action endorsing
presidential candidate. It was stati
that Gov. Harmon's representati'
counselled peace and against any c
tion which might lead to dlesensU
within the party ranks in Nebrask
As the day progressed it appean
probable that the convention wou
pass off without any disturbing qu <
tions being brought up and that tl
gathering would confine its declai
tlon to national and state issues ov
V which there was no party difference.
Following the conference participat
ed in by former Gov. tihallonborger ,
Tempornry Chairman M. F. Harring
ton nnd Charles W. Bryan , the state
ment was given out that "party princi
ples" and not loaders would receive
the principal attention of the dele-
gntos.
It was 2:20 : o'clock when Chnlrmnn
Byrnes ot the state democratic com
mittee called the delegntes to order.
Rev. W. H. Buss Invoked divine bless-
lug.
Chairman Byrnes declared that
tlioso who hnd como to the convention
looking for dissension should have
gone to Lincoln. Mayor Wolz wns
then Introduced nnd welcomed the con
vention to the city.
Bryan's Name Cheered.
M. F. Harrington of O'Neill wns In
troduced as temporary chairman of
the convention. Ills mention of the
names of Mr. Bryan and Champ Clark
brought the convention to n rousing
steer , no greater than that which
greeted the name of Senator Hitch
cock. The governor of Ohio was cas
ually referred to by the speaker and
brought out a hearty response.
Harrington Permanent Chairman.
'At the conclusion of Chairman Har
rington's address , the temporary or
ganization wns mnde permanent. The
naming of n committee on resolutions
wns disposed of without a contest , all
of the delegations being given repre
sentation. The convention then , at
3:20 : p. m. , recessed to wait the re
port of the resolutions committee. ,
M , F .Harrington's Speech.
Temporary Chairman M. F. Harrlng
ton began with the remark that "foi
once In seventeen years wo are as'
scmblcd In convention nt n tlmo wher
wo have control of even one branch ol
congress.
"During all thnt long nnd drcarj
period there have been , " be said , "nt
loaves and fishes to divide ; there has
not been cither the sustnlnng inllu
ence of patronage or the cohesive pow
er of public plunder held out as an In
ducement to any democrat. The onlj
renson why the party has remained together
gother , undismayed by successive de
feats is because of the conviction 01
its members thnt In standing for Jef
fersonian democracy they were stand
ing for that which was eternally right
"During those seventeen years then
wns much of division and discord it
our rnnks. In every election then
was disunion. Neither Mr. Bryan no :
Judge Parker received the support o
a united party. Finally the turmol
seemed to cease , the democratic ml
norlty in the house of representative !
gave evidence of such good sense
such n patriotic sense of duty , thn
grent Independent newspnpers nm
magazines paid tribute to the spier
did service that this democratic ml
nority was rendering to the people o
the United States. Differences ther <
were even In congress , but under tin
splendid leadership of Champ Clarl
this straggling minority became :
magnificent lighting force.
"Tho securing of the house of rer
resentatives has been to us of inestlrr
able value. It was the boast of 01
ganized greed , acting through repul
llcan politicians nnd newspapers , tha
the democratic party was Incapable o
legislating or governing. The demc
cratlc house of representatives ha
met and disproved thnt accusation.
"For forty years republican fn.-ser
had been deluded by the notion tha
the protective tariff wns of benefit t
them. Those who studied the ques
tion from an economic and not n pol
ttcal standpoint , knew that this sc
called protection was a mere means c
deceiving the republican farmers an
getting his vote for those Industrie
that robbed the many for the benef
of the few.
"The fraud became so transparer
that even a republican president e
the most standpat character refuse
to stand for it longer. He well kne-
that If the American farmer had an
competition it was the Canadian farn
er and with knowledge of this fact th
president proposed a law admlttin
the principal agricultural products e
Canada to our markets on n free trad
basis. By this measure the America
farmer is subjected to competltlo
with his only real competitor.
Says Tariff Is Doomed. *
"Instantly the republican politician
began to clamor ngninst the nction (
their own president They present n
legitimate arguments against the ? rec
procity bill , but the shrewd one
among them realize that as soon f
the farmer has the wool pulled froi
over his eyes , as soon as he can se
that ho has to sell all his products o
a free trade basis , that he will hel
tear down the entire tariff wall.
All Is Ready for Race Meet.
All Is ready for the Norfolk ra <
meet next week as far as the loc ;

ce EXTEND TO CARTER1
ceh
: h
ne Actual Construction Likely to be Sta
p-1 ed In Less Than Sixty Days.
Jn j Dallas News : Information comes
al this paper from an authentic sour
se that the Northwestern people ha
definitely decided to let ( he contract
this fall for the extension of the road
to Carter and that the expectation
now Is to begin work on the grade
within sixty days.
While It IB mure conjecture as to
whether the company may have any
desire to get Into Carter ahead of the
filing , It Is sure that the road will bo
In there In time to handle the bulk of
the actual homestead business per
sons moving out to establish residence
on their claims. This arrangement
will glvo Carter the moat material fea
tures of the rush.
Those who lived In Dallas previous
to the settling of Trlpp county realize
that It is when the settlers begin to
move In , and after they have estab
lished residence , that the terminal ad
vantages are really apparent. If Car
ter gets the railroad by next fall and
holds the terminus for a couple of
years the people of that city will eto-
Joy practically all of the advantages
that they had previously anticipated.
It Is easy to observe on all sides
that the past year has been one of
extreme conservatism In the matter of
railroad extension and it has been no
easy task to coax the Northwestern
out through Tripp county. However ,
the work has been completed to Win
ner and within a very few months
those In the western part of the coun
ty will enjoy the advantages of dally
railroad service.
In addition to the reliable source of
the Information relating to this exten
sion , various local circumstances tend
to confirm the project. It is known
that orders had been given to move
the roundhouse from Dallas to Winner
and that a countermand of that order
was Issued last week. Further than
that the force operating In the mate
rial yard received a rush order to pro
cure an Immediate Inventory of all
available construction material at this
place. Storekeeper Fitzpatrlck had
expected to return east as soon as the
line was completed to Winner , but his
force has been ordered to Winner , In
dicating the opening of operations
from that point in a very short time.
Kllllans Buy Store In Iowa.
Killian of Wahoo have bought a store
at Cedar Rapids , la. , in which all members -
bers of the A. L. Killian company will
own an interest. Edward Killian of
Wahoo will move to Cedar Rapids and
take the management of the new en
terprise.
The Norfolk store and the Cedar
Rapids store will be associate enter
prises , the two being linked togethei
in the matter of buying stocks and in
every other way in which combinatlor
will work to the advantage of both.
Ceftar ttaplds is a city or 33,000 pee
pie and one of the most progressive
towns in Iowa. The store which the
Kllllans have Just bought is the Johr
H. Taft store and is one of the lead
ing mercantile establishments in Ce
dar Rapids. A. L. Killian , who re
mains In Norfolk , will leave tomorrow
for Cedar Rapids to help invoice th (
new store and from there will go tt
market accompanied by Edward Kil
Han.
Han.The
The Killians are very much pleasei
at having secured a store at Cedai
Rapids and the people of Cedar Rap
ids may well congratulate themselvei
upon the acquisition of so enterpris
ing and progressive a firm as the Kil
Hans , who are recognized as one o
the very foremost mercantile firms li
Nebraska. Their stores at Wahoo am
Norfolk are among the most beautifu
In the state and would be a credit t <
any city regardless of size , so tha
Cedar Rapids may well feel pleased a
having added to its business popula
tlon a firm of the Killian calibre.
