I publican national convention
week will have the most Import
ant mission ever entrusted to the
representatives from this state the presen
tation of a candidate for vice president.
Hon. John Lee Webster has been put for
ward by the state as a fit and proper man
for the second place on the ticket, on which
the first place Is conceded to President
Roosevelt, and on the delegation from this
state will devolve the management of the
Webster interests In the convention. With
the unanimous endorsement of the state
convention and the enthusiastic support
of .the republicans of the state, Mr. Web
ster can confidently approach the conven
tion with the knowledge that his own state
Is ardently behind him In hia effort to se
cure the high place. Four years ago a
Nebraska man was selected to present the
name of Iowa's candidate for the office,
Hon. J. P. Dol liver, but the speech pre
pared for that occasion was lost In the
rush that set In when the convention was
stampeded In favor of Theodore Roosevelt
of New York. Who will present Mr. Web
ster's name to the republican convention
has not yet been given out.
An effort to secure photographs of all
the delegates from Nebraska has been but
partially successful. Two of the gentle
men, John F. Piper of Lyons, and Alex
ander Campbell of McCook, write that they
have not been before a camera In more
years than they care to state, and conse
quently have no photographs . they would
like to see published at this time. Frank
Williams of Boone county was not heard
from. This leaves the list lacking one of
the delegates-at-large, one delegate from
the Third congressional district and on
from the Fifth.
The delegation from Nebraska to Chicago
will be composed of the following:
Delegates-at-Large E. M. F. Leflang,
Dawson county; H. C. Brome, Douglas; C. B.
Dempster, Oage; John F. Piper, Burt. Mr
Brome has been chosen chairman of the)
delegation.
First District Frank E. Helvey, Otoe; Wi
J. Crandall, Lancaster.
Second District Gurdon W. Wattles,
Douglas; Herman Aye, Washington.
Third District 8. E. Nelson, Knox; Frank
Williams, Boone.
Fourth District F. I. Foss, Saline; H. M.
Childs, York.
Fifth District Adam Breeds, Adams; Al
exander Campbell, Rod Willow.
Slxih District William P. Miles, Chey
enne; E. C. Harris, Dawes.
