' .
The PUtte eoanty republicaa coarea-
tion which met Iat Thoreday aad pra
snmed to take apon iteelf so dignified a
political daty as the presentment of 'a
republican candidate for United States
Senator, probably stands' 'unique'in the
history of .the republican county con
ventions of Nebraska in its -otter stupi
dity and effrontery toward every princi
ple that, makes republicanism worth
while.
The convention -not only failed to pass
a single republican resolution, 'even a
resolution endorsing -President Roose
velt, but the leaders who controlled the
convention, with premiditation- opposed
the introduction of such reeolntions and
threatened to vote them down should
they be introduced. To make certain
the death of their resolutions, tire leadi
era secured the election of a" chairman
who knew taeir program, .omitted the
nomination of a committee .on resolu
tions and hurried the proceedings
throngh so rapidlly that the motion to
adjourn was 'passed before a delegate
could get the floor to make the proper
motion.
This was not all that marked the
Platte county republican convention as
unique in convention history. The
slate of delegations bad been fixed up
the night before and typewritten on
slips of paper which were distributed
before the convention. Such a specta
cle could be expected only in Russia
where the Czar hands out typewritten
instructions to his enslaved ministers
like fodder to cattle. But the delegates
stood for it because they didn't seem to
know what else to do, and they forgot
for the time being that they were free-
l born American citizens and members ot
tho political party that had torn the
shackles from several million slaves and
is strong today because it stands for the
the liberty of the individual, for fair
play and for the square deal.
The Platte county republican conven
tion was also unique in that it contain
ed eleven delegates from one Columbus
ward who were elected in the primary
on a pledge to support Congressman J.
-J. McCarthy for a renomination, but
who when the votewas announced on a
motion to instruct for McCarthy, voted
nine against and only two for. Such
treachery has been known in the South
American Republics but it has seldom
been seen in conventions of the party
whose very name is a guarantee of the
eacrednete of a pledge.
The Platte county republican conven
tion was unique also in the fact that
nine out of ten of the delegates present,
departed, after the convention, in dis-
Kiist, trying in vain to recall a single
republican feature in the entire conven
tion, outside of the speeohes made by
several of the candidates.
A good many of the delegations came
in on Wednesday night and by Thurs
day morning it was evident that a ma
jority had come pledged to support Dr.
C. D. Evans for United States senator.
Such was the showing that W. A. Mc
Allister, who had a small but earnest
following for railroad commissioner,
decided not to have his name presented
to the convention.
There was general good feeling among
the delegates before the convention.
They had rome Tilled with the enthu
siasm bred of the accomplishments of
Theodore Roosevelt and a republican
congress and were ready and eager to
give sanction by fitting resolutions to
the principles at the basis of those ac
complishments. They were.ignornnt of
the slate that had been fixed up tue night
before and nine out of een of them were
enthusiastic McCarthy men.
Early in the day the matter of fitting
resolutions had come up but was op
posed by Edwin Hoare the chairman of
the county central committee who
thought that to raise the pass question
in the convention would deprive the re
publican party of support necessary to
a successful campaign and by E. H.
Chambers who looked upon anti-pass
resolutions as buncombe. Resolutions
were prepared and shown to C. C. Gray,
Carl Kramer, Bruce Webb. R. W. Ho
bart, Tnad Stevens, S. T. Fleming and
Wm. Jackson, all of whom approved the
idea but no one desired to take the re
sponsibility of introducing them in face
of the known opposition until Mr. Jack
son of the Creston delegation consented
to introduce them. Mr. Jackson's ex
cuse for not introducing the resoluions,
given in his own words, was: ''Things
were hurried through so that I had no
chance." Mr. Jackson's resolutions
were as follows:
We, the republicans of Platte county
in convention assembled, reaffirm our
allegiance to the principles of the re
publican party as expressed in the na
tional republican ''platform and the
last state republican platform, and
we heartily endorse the adminstratiou
of President Roosevelt, whom we look
upon as the greatest friend of the
common people since the time of Lin
coln, especially commending his fear
less execution of the anti-tmst laws,
his courageous attack upon dishones
ty and corruption in high .places as
well as low regardless of party con
siderations, and his masterful work
in securing the passage of a rate re
gulation bill as weU as other meas
ures looking toward the promotion of
justice and equality before the law ;
We also endorse the present economi
cal state administration.
We especially approve the anti-pass
and direct primary declarations of
the last state republican platform
and recommend to the next legisla
ture the paaaage of a law that will
abolish .the free pass system includ
ing the advertising mileage contract;
the attorneys pass contract and other
service contracts not made on cash
basis, except in the case of railroad
employees.
We favor the adpotioa of the con
stitutional amendment submitted by
the last legislature, providing for a
railroad ooramiarioa) and the enact
ment of laws to clothe this oommis-

The convention was called to order in
the court room by Chairman Ed. Hoare.
B. R. Cowdery of Humphrey elected
chairman and Mr. Franklin of Monroe,
secretary. On account of the crowded
condition of the room the convention
adjourned to Maennerchor hall where,
upon motion, the work was taken up
according to call, the delegations and
committees being filled so rapidly from
typewritten slips which had been pre
pared tne night before, that it was
difficult for the secretary to keep np and
Roy Clark of Woodville and Frank
Wordeman of Sherman with consider
able sarcasm arose during the proceed
ings to move that the ''next little slip"
betaken up.
The delegation to the state convention
was instructed to support Col. Carroll
D. Evans for United States Senator,
the McAllister delegates all voting "no"
on the motion. CoL Evans responded
in a brief speech, thanking the conven
tion for the honor conferred and paying
a tribute to the leadership of President
Roosevelt.
C. N McEIfresh was nominated for
county attorney, W. M. Cornelius and
Judge Reeder both supporting bis candi
dacy by speeches highly complimentary
to the young attorney. Mr. McKlfresb
responded with, a brief speech in which
he declared that he stood with the re
publican party on all questions. He
made an excellent impression and hie
remarks were warmly applauded.
Ed. Lneechen of Creston was nomi
nated for representative but be was not
present and it is said he will refuse the
nomination.
K W. Hobart introduced a resolution
instructing' for J. J. McCarthy but al
though nearly every delegate in the con
vention was for him, the leaders had
given out the word to defeat it and it
was lost by a vote 84 to 32, nine of the
eleven Third Wanl delegates who had
been elected because they had printed
on their tickets a McCarthy pledge, be
ing voted against the resolution. Three
of the eleven were out of their seats and
were vo!od without their consent. It
was explained, however, that the vote
was against tnn principle of an instruc
tion and not against McCnrty and that
the entire delegation would support
him at Fremont next week.
C. O. Gray was elected chairman of
the county central committee for the en
suing year without opposition and the
choice gave general satisfaction.
' W. W. Young of Stanton made a ring
ing republican speech of thirty minutes
and the convention adjourned.
Notwithstanding the coarse work of
the convention as a whole, 'republicans
are not discouraged or inclined t-i look
upon results with personal resentment.
They feel more that it was a case of
power run mad and that in the end the
party will profit by the rude awakening
it has received. No disposition is mani
fested to read anybody out of the party
but republicans will insist in the future
that leaders must not forget, even in a
moment of great victory, to lead in a
spirit of fairness and in accordance
with republican principles.
