tha converftlofi. ' Puffed up with a victory
at the primaries, the demand was mado
for tha scalp tf the committeemen of tho
state committed, who had been chosen the
year before foava two-year' term and who
had been offended by being allied . with
tha other republican faction. To satisfy
this demand, the Van Dusen resolution
contemplated upsetting the entire plan of
the organization of the state committee.
Wtjen asked for an explanation for his
course, Chairman Van Dusen gave vent to
a splenetic arraignment of the, opposition
at hdtne, 'Jfrecting ..hlhtaelr chiefly at Jo
seph Houtsky. whom, he said, had refused
to let him vote until tnandamused to do
ao, unless ho would r.swer whether he
had voted i6r. ffrack Koutsky for mayor
six weekf'hefoca;.', -He insisted' that the,
preseejAmbr ofi the committee from
Dougiaa county did not represent the re
publicans there and that this delegation
was entitled to the privilege of replacing
them -and Insisted on having what belonged
to them.
,,When tha motion to table was voted it
,waa clear that the delegates remaining In
i the hall and casting vote for their de
parted associates -.did' not understand the
taltuatlon and as. one of th committeemen
Involved, Victor Rose water, who was pres
ent, asked permission to address the con
vention before It should vote on the mo
tion to oust htm. . lie gaye the facta as
.to the selection of tha members of the
.committee from Dougiaa county and the
Reason for the feud between Van Dusen
.and Koutsky, calling attention also to the
.recent advent In Omaha of 8. 'A. Searle,
i,who had Indulged In bitter crimination.
The debate waxed warm even after this,
in spite of the labyrinth of points ef order
And an appeal to sober sans by ex-Ben-'tor
Toung of Stanton, and finally reached
& climax when Senator Howell propounded
,-h question to Victor Roewter whether
' h would support the next republican nom
Jxiee for congress no matter who he might
.be.
,Hn response to persistent calls, Mr. Rose
water; arose again and aald he Owould

the delegation, , Mr. Van Dusen, whether
The voted for the republican nominee for

Omaha?"
-f."I will answer that," shouted Mr. Van
tOueen In reply. "I did not vote for Frank
Voutaky, but I Voted for all the rest of

fiid not vote for Frank Koutsky because he
did tot represent the decent republicans of

Roaewater never got a chance, because
point of order was sustained, to ask hi
second question, which would have been
directed at Senator Howell and would have
inquired-whether tie would have aupported
and voted for the republican nominee for
mayor Iff Wi 'lst-election in Omaha. The
convention had enough of it and refused
to interfere further or to listen to further
controversy, so the two members of the
state commijteei objectionable to the Doug

The convention was regaled by a num

tha. occasion and won the
audience by ita good delivery, eloquent
tribute to Roosevelt and pointed pokes at

ment, "we are doing tolerably well now,"
and ills new eulogy of the flag took tu
multously. Senator Millard, Dave Mer
cer, John I. Webster, W.. F. Qurley and
a number of other leaders sat on the stage,
i but none of them were urged sufficiently to
speak and when the resolutions 'were pre
sented and adopted Instructing the delega
tion to Chicago for Mr. Webster for vice
president, Mr. Webster was absent from
the hall and missed hll opportunity to make
acknowledgments.
Judge, Robertson did fairly.. well as pre
siding officer, although he became tangled
up once or twice In the meshes of ' parlia
mentary sharp practice.
Who the Candidate Are.
Only a few words are needed about tho
candidates who are new 'to the ticket.
Norrls Brown, for attorney general, is
the present popular deputy. He practiced
law at Kearney and once made an unsuc
cessful race for congress in the Sixth dis
trict. . For secretary of state, A. Oalusha, is a
merchant at Red Cloud, until recently , a
traveljng man, and actively identified, with
tho Ancient Order of United Workmen. .
For auditor, E-. M. Searle, Jr., is now one
of the county treasury examiners under
Auditor Weston. He has held local office
In Keith county, where he resides and
where he and his father have large cattle
interests.
For land commissioner, "H. M. Eaton, is
the present deputy. He halls from Dodge
county, and. had the backing of hla chief,
Mr. Follmer, who shares with him the
credit of the successful administration of
his office.
For superintendent, 3. L McBrlen, Is also
the present .deputy. He stands high among
school men, having formerly been in school
work in Fillmore county.
Call Convention to Order.
The convention waa called to order at
2:16. It was' opened by prayer by Rev.
J. H. Presson, who had been chosen for
that purpose. , Chairman Lindsay then In
troduced Howard H Baldrlg a eniporary

- I am keenly appreciative of the honor
conferred upon me by calling me to pre
sloe over tins great convention. P.epuutl
can convention nave come to be very
important oouies In this country, tor they
are now tne oracle of its poiiciea, iha
seminaries or Its, laws, and the nominators
of its rulers. Eutrenclied In power, the
republican party meets In convention to
do things; tne democratic party meets in
convention to raise an organised howl
about thing done. f
Glory ( Achievement.
The republican party enters thla cam
paign glorious In its past achievements,
cunndeiu of Us future success. " It haw
wlnely conironted every national 'problem
and auccesr.iuily Uvcu it. It has given
ua a aound and stable currency,, aud saved
u rrom the wreck and ruin that the free
silver fanatics would have brought upon
ua. It has opened up, the principal mar
kets of the world to our merchant and
manulacturera, and enacted lawa which
will unite the great ocean through the
Panama canal and make us the greatest
commercial nation in the world. It ha
given confidence . to capital-and to labor
an Opportunity for a full day s work at a
full wage. It has brought to our doors
a plethoric plenty and a fullnea and a
fatness that has gladdened the heart
and made us the -most prosperous nation
on earth. It has established a -foreign
policy that has increased our prestige
abroad and made ua the object of admira
tion, If not of envy, of the great power
of the world.
But the republican party cannot live In
the glory of Its past. It must act wisely
for the present. Its political creed mut
be made for present conditions, it muat
solve old problems, and It muat legislate
to meet new conditions that r ever Brin
ing under our complex civilisation. The
administration ha taken a firm position
on the trust' question. It should maintain
It. -There ahould be free and healthful
competition In all branches of trade and
commerce. , but lawa thould not be passed
so radical as to paralyse our. Industrie
or give A staggering blow fb' capital. The
weak should be protected from the un
lawful aggression of the strong, and no
agarefratlon of capital or men should be
sufTloiently strong to defy the law with
Impunity. The strength and bone and
sinew of the republican party has always
been with the masses. It does not now
yield and never haa yielded the champion
ship, of their cause ' to the - democratic
power. The party of Rooaevelt M a Jal-

Fat Repudiate Democrats.
Wbat has the democratic party to offer
to the people as an Inducement to change
administrations? What Isue can It pre
sent with any confldi nee m Its .accep
tance? The vey current of event ha
tmphatloaliy repudiated eveiy position the
democratic party hao taken on evtry quea
tlon during the last half century. The
stern logic of facts revenled by the march
of time has proved the falsity of Ita
tenets, the fatuity of Its leaders and the
folly of Its hopes.' The issue of Imperial
ism, Injected into the last campaign by
the democratic psrty. the horrible night
mare of those sell-choren guardians of
the constitution and the ljeclarat:on of In
dependence, has beno wlely and so
beneficently settled by the republican party
that It ran not even be referred to by
the opposition during the coming campaign
without loss of adnerents.
The bugaboo of . free silver has lost Its
terrors even to he unihinklrurt It has been
consigned to the tomb of buried Issues,
and only the political shade of William
Jennings Bryan, playing the role of resur
rection anael keens the vlcll and hovers
o'er Its resting place. But It's dead too
dead to smell and even the Idiocy of the
democratic party always to be depended
on to do the wrong thing Is not Idlotlu
noueh tn resurrect It.
And the tariff: well, the tariff Is like the
Soor it Is always with us. It has been
rawn Into every campaign by the demo
cratic party, when all other issues have
failed it, and the Same old creature In
the same old garb may be drawn out again
during thla campaign for the amusement
If not . for the Instruction of the people,
but the tariff cannot be mado an Issue
between the parties during this campaign.
Nrt line of cleavase can be drawn now be
tween the parties along this question. Too
manv of the thinking democrat are with
us on this question. The old democratic
doctrine of free trade has been repudiated
time and again by the people, and it is as
dead as free stiver.
The democratic party dare not reaffirm
In Its St. Louis platform a single yltal
Issue upon which It has heretofore fought
Its hattles. Thev have nil been repudiated
utterly repudiated with the Indelible
stigma of public abhorrence.
Its dearth of leaders Is as great as Its
desrth of Issues It dare not nominate Ita
former standard bearer, twice defeated, nor
Its other former standard bearer, twice
elected. It ranks disorganized and shat
tered. It has few to champion and none
to lead. And we have the sad spectacle
Of a once glorious democracy approaching
a campaign, torn by Internal dissensions,
dejected, dispirited, without an Issue or a
loader, not knowing what to do. but Ml-cawber-llke.
waiting for romething to turn
up at St. Inils in July, rnly to be turned
down by the people In November.
Ita Record la It Platform.
At the threehhold of the campaign, our
party Is harmonious In Its adherence to the
principles which have made this country
freat and In Its choice or standard bearer,
t movea forward to this great political
battle a compact and well-marshaled army,
united and strong in It advocacy of truth,
led by Its brave and matchless leader.
His record haa become the pride and
heritage of his country. It I a platform
In Itself on which the party can stand in
the full consciousness of victory. Our im
pregnable position in power today Is largely
due to hla leadership.
He has thrown his Intense personality
Into every branch of administrative serv
ice. With the highest Ideals of honesty
and efficiency in public otflce, he haa pur
sued relentlessly through the Postofflce de
partment those dishonest officials of his
own political faith who placed pelf above
public aervlce, and personal perquisites
above principle. Under his instructions, his
able attorney general ha attacked and
defeated in the courts the greatest of the
great combinations of capital that tended
to restrict railroad competition, and by the
tearless enforcement of the trust laws has
incurred the odium of those who seek to
defy the laws of the nation.
H administration has attained such re
spect abroad that the dictum of his great
secretary of state, uttered at critical times,
has almost the binding force of interna
tional law among the great family of na
tions. Theodore Roosevelt has always had high
Ideals of public service and he has always
tried to maintain, them- .Hla administra
tion ha been clean, capable,, efficient and
patriotic ' - -
, We of Nebraska think, the great middle
west"! entitled this year to a place on
the national ticket, we art fortunate in
(laving wlth(n our border a man. whose
name would honor and strengthen ; the
ticket. He needs no euloglum from me be
fore this convention. . He haa long been
one of the foremoBt headers of political
thought. He has a broad and comprehen
sive grasp of economic and political sub
ject. He is a great conetltutlonal lawyer.
The state will honor Itself In honorinfrhlm
by presenting the name of John L. Web
ster to the national convention as our Can
dida for vice president.
'..Start on Business.
Secretary Allen read the call, after which
Mr.. Lindsay announced thl temporary

McKSon of Lancaster raised a point
of order and wa overruled. The vote was
on the amendment ' and It was carried.
Senator Thuraton waa recognised upon
the platform and wa given an ovation.
He wa Invited to speak and he did so.
He told the convention how glad he wa
to be In Nebraska and in a Nebraska re
publican r.onventlon. He said the republi
can. party wa a party of achievement and
that it bad no apology to make for it
pst. He spoke of the prosperity of the
country and euloglxed the president. He
waa frequently cheered. - Following thla

Chairman Robertaon ruled that It wa
within th province of th convention 'to

it ahould com.
Raker Start Something.
Stephenson of Lancaster spoke In favor
of the chalr'a ruling. During the tur
moil Raker of Sarpy moved that E. J.
Burkett b nominated by acclamation
under a suspension of the rules. This
brought forth a bedlam of ayes and naya
and a dosen men at one shouted for recog
nition. McPheeley of Kearney vnouted
that th convention should proceed under
th call. A lull for a moment allowed the
credential committee to report In favor
of th Weaterfelt delegation from Scott'
Bluff county.
Bedlam again broke loose and Harrison
got the floor and kept it until h said what
th temporary organisation had dona wa
not binding upon th permanent organisa
tion. .
Raker's motion wa thuf put and th
division seemed equal. No reult w an
nounced In the excitement 'and "Mile
moved that the nam of W.. E. Andrew be
substituted for "that of Buritett.
Hammond Poar Oil.
Ross Hammond threw but a. llttl oil
and said he did not want a senator nomi
nated in the way the convention wa go
ing, and asked for t-almness.
Then Mile wanted to' know if th n
vcntlon had decided to nominate a sen
ator. Before he .was snswered, Paul Jessen
addressed the delegates. He pleaded with
the convention not to be stampeded. H
sked that the delegate discuss th mat
ter like republican. '"Otoe county I for
Burkett. but every delegate must have a
vote. There must be no gag rule," he
concluded.
Raker then withdrew his motion and
Jessen moved a roll call and that each
county vote for It choice for senator.
, McPheeley tried to talk and was drowned
out. Vlnsonhaler of Douglas moved that
the motion be laid on the table. Miles
moved that the convention decide whether
it wanted to nominate.
Ludden started to call the roll and wa
stopped by Harrison, who moved a vot
as to whether the roll should be called.
.A vote wa finally taken on Jessen'
motion for a .-holce and the aye and noea
wer even. .
A vote was then taken on whether the
convention ahould nominate and It was
carried . by a vot. of 74 to 302.
A vote was started ,for, choice and before
proceeding far was stopped by Miles of
Adams, who stated that Adams county
had no candidate and moved that Burkett's
nomination be made by acclamation. This
was don.
Mr. Burkett was found at the Llndell by
a committee and escorted to the chair,
where ha thanked the convention in a
short speech, - .
Borkett Thank Convention.
Mr. Burkett said:. ," .
I am glad to meet you today and upon
thl occasion. I thank you for the honor
that you hava conferred -upon me by your
endorsement to t,he ltlulaiur of my eleo
tlon a United States senator. It ex
presses your confidence in me as compe
tent and worthy, -and that la th greatest
honor that could come to any man. 1 de
sire to thank all the republicans of the
stat and the ores for their kindly sup
port .during the month . preceding thl
convention, and whether I shall be elected
a senator or not I hope always to retain
the confidence and friendship of the people
of Nebraska . which thl nomination ex
presses. 1 realize that with thl honor
there cornea something of duty and some
thing of responsibility. 1 am also mindful
of tne honor that -Jt will be to represent
this proud and magnificent young common
wealth in the upper branch of the na
tional legislature. Nebraska challenges tha
world for Intelligence and honesty, and ro
briety. and character, and energy, and
everything that goea trf make up a high
class citizenship. There la no spot where
the man, and the highest type of man, I
more In control and Where Individualism
count Tor more than It doe in Ne
braska, -j -
I am glad that we are republicans; it Is
a mighty good symptom. Today the re
publican party inhabits the state house
and every branch of the state government
is under republican control. Five of our
six congressmen and toth semi tor are re
publicans. Nebraska lias been doing It
share in the work ot in nation. Nebraska
has been voting "yes", upon the question
of advancement and progress that are be
fore the American people. Let us take no
backward atep. In the coming election let
republicanism redeem that one district now
temporarily out of the fold and send a
solid delegation to Washington to Uphold
republican principle and sustain the -arm
of President Roosevelt. Let us elect every
one of the splendid" gentltmeri that you
will nominate today. The delegates that
we will elect today will go to Chicago and
will Join the delegates from every other
atate In the union and will vnanlmouly
nominate for orealdent Theodore Roose
velt. They will do It. at the command of
every republican' In th state of Nebraska,
and some democrats,-" They will" help make
a platform thai, roost any, of ua could writ
flow, becauae we .all know . what repub
Icnri poltoles- are., 'There Is not any ques
tion about where the republican party is
going to stand irflort'-the money question
or. the tariff - niemioar,' :br the .Philippine
question, or -auy ptber question.' The re
publican party always takes the right eld
of a que Hon' and then sticks to It. Our
democratic brethren are little concerned
with what -side they take, - because they
never expect to stick to It. You know
what our platform will be, and whan our
candidate are nominated 'and our plat
form Is made we are all coming homo and
work together, every on of us, for the

At the conclusion of Mr: Burkett'

Th convention cut It short by acclamation.

The original candidate wer Eaton of

The fight for places ns delegates-at-large

At this stage of the proceedings, when
five-sixth of the delegate had already
gone home, Chairman Van Dusen of the
Dougiaa delegation injected his resolution
to unseat the member of the state com
mittee from Douglas, although their terms
had Btill a year to run, and f'low the an
ting delegation to name success rs. Tho
resolution at 'first provided that the dels
gate in all senatorial district should have
the privilege of making such changes In
their stats committee repreentatlon as
they might e nt. Pressed to th corner,
it author admitted that it wa Intended
simply to apply to Dougla county and ac
cepted an amendment to let It read merely
to permit Dougiaa county to change It
state committeeman. A motion to table
the vresolu tlon went a far a a roll call,
the motion being, voted down, and finally.
after amendment and points cf order
galore, the whole resolution was ruled out
of order.
In the meantime, however, a large tup-
ply of fireworks were shot off In a debate
participated in by Van Dusen, B. A. Starl
and Victor Jtosewater of Douglas, Paul
