Pnt.iM Kept Every Pledge It Made and Made a Ciena Fight K. Roaewater trnnger Over the State In i Detent Tnaa Even Before (From a Btaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Aug. 14. (Special.) A large number of the oeiegatea to the republican state convention were unable to get out of Lincoln until this afternoon and It was a sorry looking, bedraggled bunch, us nearly all of them failed to get any sleep during the laat two nights. Bide talks with the delegates disclosed various opinions of the , ticket and the outcome and varloua explanations of how It happened, everyone agreed, however, that the Douglas delegation waa the best and cleanest set of men the big town ever sent to a, state convention. One delegate who had worked along with the Douglas delegation expressed the sentiment of hun dreds when he said: "Douglas county kept every pledge It made. Not once did it fall to do just what the steering committee bad agreed that it should do. The delegation waa composed of a bunch of the beat workers that ever came to the state convention and It was a pleasure to work with them. They inspired the respect of their, opponents for the able and clean fight that was made for their candldatea. H. H. Baldrlge. Robert Cowell and Victor Roaewater made more friends for Omaha and for themselves yesterday than any three men In the atate conven tion. These men, with the Douglas delega tion, have won the confidence of the stats and' Douglas county stands closer to the atate today than It ever did before." Just how Representative Caldwell feels about the double cross he received Is not known from Caldwell personally, but frienda of his believe the Clay county man went home In a bad humor, as he bad a right to do. Inasmuch aa he was led to believe the nomination for railroad com missioner was to be his on a silver platter. H. J. Wlnnett of Lancaster count..-, nominee for railroad commissioner, is glad Robert Cowell ia on the ticket with him. Inasmuch as Judge Froat expected to run rampant with the .tate, he and Dr. Wlnnett had quite a tilt over the dis tribution of the Lancaster vote for rail road commissioner. Wlnnett himself, sent word to the Douglas delegation tnat he would caat the Lancaster solid dele gation for an' Omaha man for commia sloner If any one would take the place. Thla morning Wlnnett said: Wlnnett Makes Explanation. "I did not know Omaha had a candidate when the first ballot was taken. On the second ballot I was told 1 the delegation had to make good on pledges and would not vote for the Douglas man. We got seventeen of the delegatea, however, and had I known Omaha had a candidate on the first ballot he certainly would huve received the solid vote. I feel very kindly toward Douglas county for what It did for me." Deputy Attorney General W. T. Thomp son expressed himself as follows this morn ing: "I certainly feel under obligations to Mr. Roaewater and Douglas county. )f the men who made the fight here for Mr. Roaewater ever want help of any kind. I will respond to any . call." Secretary of State Oalusha is taking h! defeat philosophically and has llttlo to say. Inasmuch, howeyer, as, Oalusha s delegation, broke to.Opwn -wrth six vote at the critical time., they believe "tho Webster county man was, badly nsoii by the victors In the convention. It whs Douglas county that put the fixing to Mr. Oalusha. It was also Douglas county that carried Mr. Brian through for treasurer over the opposition of Kyd and Goo'L each of whom relied on the Brown boosters to make good' on their promise to land them. A delegation of Boone county men. Including Mr. Brian, requested greetings be sent to Omaha and whatever Omaha wants Boone county will help fand it. The most talked of incident of the con vention waa the speech by Mr. Roaewater. The fp.ke reform sheets here had tried to make the people believe everything evil of the Douglas county candidate, but to day all over Linooln nothing but ex preaslona of commendation are heard for him. On the other hand the failure of Mr. Brown to even mention the Douglas county candidate, ia commented on. Judge Eng land who has been one of the great Brown boosters, said: "Mr. Rose water' s speech waa a gem. It waa one of the greatest speeches I ever heard In an'y convention. Never before have the hearts of the people of Nebraska beat so kindly for him. He Is without doubt the best qualified man in Nebraska." Bright Ontlook for Fnlr. Present indication are that., thla year's state f ulr will be a record breaker. The applications already received for space In the varloua departments exceed last year to a surprising degree. William R. Mellor, secretary of the state fair board, said Thursday morning that many applicants for space cannot be accommodated. The animal department this year will be an Interesting exhibition. For the draft horses, four barns with 166' stall each are provided, while there are 1 stalls for speed horses. Five hundred and fifteen ap plications for( cattle stalls have been re ceived, with only 450 stalls available at the present time. The swine pens were all assigned In March and SO applications re ceived since that time. Twenty-six counties at least will be repreaented with collective exhibits In the agricultural 'hall aa against twenty-one last year. This year's exhibit f farm machinery and vehicles will sur pass any previous ' year. An annex for the machinery department has been pro vided. In the speed department .there will be 101 harness horsea entered, last season's number being fifty-three. Secretary Mellor said the interest In thlp year's fair has been in keeping with the general proaperlty of the state and Is a good Index of general conditions. Normal Board Contracts.

Walker first operated In Des Moines, ac cording to the commercial agenoles, having In that city a fake drug concern in which he cleaned up a pile of money. Then' ha is said td have caught a lot of suckers in Minneapolis and Slcux- City.

While In Omaha Walker kept the money In his pocket, which he collected during -the week, and every Saturday went to Sioux City to deposit It.
