Op Baturday afternoon Rev. Harry

fixing to leave the state at once for In

lc the office of Treasurer Guile of the

Just a quorum. Mr. Hill then proposed
issuing a circular to the voters, but was
opposed by Treasurer Ouile, who urged
tliat the league Is a nonpartisan organisa
tion and should not take any stand in
favor of either party. Guile's protest was
of no avail, and although he voted against
it, the circular proposed by Kev. Hill was
adopted by a vote of t to 1. Following Is

Bound to React.
The action of three members of the
Anti-Saloon league In sending out the cir
cular will doubtless react on the fusion

worked the three ministers to do the work,
That the circular was not authorised or
sanctioned by the, league la proven by eev

of the meeting or the circular until they
received one. Governor Mickey, ' whose
nime appears' on' the letter head upon
which the circular is printed as a member
of the leHgue, said:
"I know nothing about the meeting or
the circular. I was not told that such
rutlon was contemplated. I am for Judge
liarncs and have known him for years,
and I know him to be a man of the highest
type of good citizenship, I do not indorse
this circular."
As to how the scheme was worked Gov.
ernor Mickey said: "Mr. Guile, at whose
oftlce the three ministers met, told me
that they had proposed the action and that
he had voted against It because he did
not believe such action was necessary.
Those present at the meeting were Rev.
Hill of Omaha, Rev. Hilton of Bethany and
E. E. Boyd."
At the republican headquarters a busy
day was spent In giving out last notices
and Instructions to party organisers and
disseminating information. The anti-saloon
protest fake caused little disturbance and
its repudiation by Governor Mickey and
Mr. Guile, the latter being present at the
meeting, was at once sent out over the j
state.
Th populists were busy shaking hands
with each other because of the wet weather,
they pretending to believe that such would
help their cause. At the republican head
quarters the weather is cutting no figure.
Chairman Lindsay of the republican state
committee said:
"I feel confident that the republican ticket
Wt'l win. The party is well organised and
I feel sure that a good party vote will be
polled. Judge Barnes will hava a good
majority."
Chairman Weber of the populist commit
tee snld: -
"We are Jubilant -over the prospects of
the re-election ot Judge Sullivan. We will
poll big vote in Omaha among the busi
ness men and the Indications are that he
will pollwhe full vote out in the west sec
tion ef the state. Wet weather will help

KRUGER DOES NOT DESPAIR
Former President of Transvaal Say
Ho Still Ha Faith la
Cod.
MENTONE. France, Nov. t-Paul Kru-
ger, the former president of the Transvaal
republic, replying today to the gift of a
I statu from subscriber to the Patrle, said:
I do not despair. A man of my age has
no further earthly exDectatioss. but I have
confidence In the justice of God. The
younger generation will witness the trl-
umpn or tins justice ana will see tne reali
sation of our experience and patience.
Thank you for all you have dona for the
cause of the Boers and thank you for not
forgetting me in my gnei.
Mr. Kruger la described aa being con
stantly occupied In reading the bible, as
desiring Isolation and as maintaining i
dignified bearing. But he Is calmly re
signed to the events in South Africa.
The Patrle asserts that an unwritten
chapter will appear later, disclosing the
fact that the Boers relied on the promises
of Germany, but that Great Britain sue
ceeded in gaining German neutrality. It
will also be shown, the Patrle adds, that
the Boer had planned to cripple British
commerce by the fitting out of , privateea,
"which Mr. Kruger prevented, not wish.
Ing to have to reaort to such a supreme
remedy,"!
