tion of the 1,200 delegate, accredited were
among the absent. M. F. Harrington was
made temporary chairman, making hit ac
ceptance of the position with a character
istic speech, arraigning the republicans for
corporation subserviency. He referred to
the anti-monopoly republicans as out of
place ln tbelr party. Every hit at the
opposition was greeted with laughter and
pplause. He dwelt particularly on the
question of railroad taxation. He ad
mitted that the task before the popullsta
la not an easy one, but asserted that with
upectflo tax and freight-rate planks In
tbelr platform they might win. He wanted
a candidate who would say to Mr. Mickey: I
"I will Increase the railroad taxes In Ne- 1
braska 60 per cent, will you Increase the .
taxe on railroads 60 per cent?"
An effort to adjourn to an outdoor park ,

ex-Mayor A. H. Weir of Lincoln vice chair
man, and the secretaries already chosen. In

nent chairman wa cordially received. His
brief remarks were pertinent to the busi
ness of the convention and an appeal for
candidate and principles that can win.
