V. R. DOUGLAS DELEGATION OETI BHV Meets -Little Eneonaareinn Hk Its . ' Schemes.- ) (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, May 17. (Speotal;Te Doug las delegation, la down-here-ihtfuH .imtc ioalghk. , goodly . adVaiKievolJ name., on the morning train and the rest by spe cial this evening. They have been trying tefy hara toitjpreBS upon every one h tnaatim9ifhlf Victory at the primer lasfweek and that they are "If In ever eni or tho-word. The first propositi?? the? undertook to urge was that the actlbn,1 of the State committee designating Howard H. Baldridge temporary chairman shoila be nullified because Baldridge .was not '4 member of the successful delegtSpn. whlth claimed all the prerequisites attaching -to the county..' When they found, ;tlat no en couragement was offered' they Insisted that at any rate Mr. Baldridge should not be permanent chairman and they were scarcely pacified with the answer that there never was any Intention of making the temporary chairman the permanent chair man also. It had practically been settled that the position of permanent chairman should be ottered to Judge William M. Robertson of Norfolk, who at one time aspired to the gubernatorial, nomination, and this Information mollified them some. The next thing the bell wethers of the Douglas delegation proposed was that the members of the state committee for Doug las county who had been elected last year for a term of two years should be1. ousted In order to make - way for 'successors of their choice. It was explained.'. that the state committee had been, organised five years ago on a plan of permanent! mem bership, whereby ' only : half., of the' mem bers retired each year, .and that to accom plish their object they w6uld have to upset the whole system . of state ' organisation, but this did not dismay them. They were ready to discharge the whole state com mittee In order to get a chance at the three Douglas county "memberships.' 80 far, however, no one has been able to dis cover any considerable headway - made among the delegates from the outside coun ties in behalf of this scheme. The other counties have factional fights of their own, but they do not see the necessity of changing the whole state committee' every time the balance of ponVr shifts In one small district. . . -."''".

Sample of Reform. One member of the delegation comrllne(' to ire bitterly of the arbitrary work of the steering committee. When I asked him what he supposed the delegation would do In the state convention he replied: "1 don't know; how should I know? We have all .been bound hand and foot ahd. gagged to boot, and handed over to the steering committee to be planted wherever they wish. Talk about machines, this Is the worst I ever bumped Into. We are go ing 'to be nothing but pawns moved around at the whim of a few self-constituted lead ers. There Is no more Independence for a member of this delegation than there Is for a member of the chain gasg. I do'n't know how long we will stand for It An other thing, this trading business makes in tired. We are supposed to represent the reform element and our whole effort In local politics hss been to institute prim ary reforms that will give the people a choice In the selection of their officers and to do away with the barter and kale that disgraced the old convention system. But here we are, 'a reform delegation upon the auction counter for trade to the highest bidder." ... . Chairman VanDisen of the delegation says that nothing will be done In the con gressional convention tomorrow morning further than to select the delegates nnd alternatea -to Chicago from the Second dls' trlct. In other words, that no chflnge will be made In the makeup of the congressional committee or the Identity of its chnlrman. The position of Chairman Blackburn, how ever, In favor of holding oft the convention to nominate a candidate to run against Congressman Hitchcock until September Is known to be antagonised, by, most of tho congressional aspirants, and It-4a barely possible that something may be done in tho convention in the form of Instructions to the congressional committee to call Its con vention in June or July. Clement Chase wants to be honored by being cllowed to sit on the platform as presiding officer .In the congressional convention, and he may be indulged. 'It Is probable also that the name f J. C. Hoblhson of Waterloo wljl bo advahcod for alternate to the national con vention, if not from the district from the state at large. V. R. . TWO CONTESTS ARE TO BE SETTLED Cnmlnar and Scotte -Bluff Conntlee ' Have Double Delegations. (From a BtafI Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 17. tSpeclal.) The first thing tomorrow's convention will be up against the settlement of two contest cases, one from Scott's Bluff county and one from Cuming county, although both of them to-gether-lnvolve only eighteen Votes and do not directly concern any special issue or candidacy before the convention, but they present some Interesting points. The case from Scott's Bluff county turns on the recognition of one of two conflicting county organlsatins. Although one of the smallest counties in -the state in point of representation in the ' convention, Bcott'e Bluff county Is blessed with two separate and distinct .county committees, one known as the Weaterfelt committee and the other as the Thornton committee. It seems that last year the county convention that named the delegates to the state conven tion . apolnted a county committee with Weaterfelt- at its - head. This com nlttee later called another convention -to nominate county officers and although It failed to provide In the call -for- any-other business,, the coawetitlowi'-after rt met proceeded to elecj another ' committee' whifch .carried Ton jibe;, campaign, notwithstanding . the fact the old committee refused to vacate' and 'persisted,. In asserting Its claims. This year both committees undertook to send dele gates to the state convention- and' their respective pleas for recognition wlll.be urged before the credential committee. In cidentally It may be remarked that rivalry between different towns for county seat honors Is supposed to be at the bottom of the contest In Cuming county the conflict is between a delegation appointed by the county com mlttee regularly constituted and another delegation named by a convention sum moned unofficially In response to a . call signed by Individual republicans. The com mittee In Cuming county assumed to name delegates to both the state and congres sional conventions without calling a con vention or consulting the party rank and flleln any way. The recalcitrant call is supposed to be a protest against what was termed' an act of usurpation and Is said, to have been .Instigated bp- ex-Senator A. R. Oleson. The funny part about It Is that Oleson himself had control of the county committee only a year or two ago and when he was In control assumed to appoint , delegates In the same manner which Is now denounced as odious In his opponents. The' explanation is also vouchsafed that the corttest In Cuming represents the an tagonism between the friends and oppon ents of Governor Mickey and was cooked up at the time the fiht on the guberna torial -nomination was expected. The ap pointed delegates are said to be the Mickey delegation and the convention delegates the antl-Mlckey delegation. Inquiry develops that there are no rules or established precedents by which the contests are to be-determined. In other states when contests are filed they are usually heard informally by the state com mittee or a committee of the same, charged with making up the temporary roll. It has been some years since a republican state convention has been bothered with contests of this kind. "We ought to have some rules governing contests," declared Chairman Lindsay to day, "and we ought to have some authority to pass upon them preliminary to the con vention. As it is, however, we will have to pass them up to the convention and Its credentials committee. It's a good sign, however, to find seats In a republican state convention valued so- highly as to cause people to fight for them." Another member of the committee an swered It as a rough guess that the con vention . would seat all of the contesting delegates with proportionate votes for each.
