LINCOLN. April 18. PoHtlcul tongue
have been set going In Lincoln by the ad-,
vent of Rnea Hammond of Fremont Into
the race Tor , the Elmer Btephenson Job,
as it was generally understood herfe that
Mr. Hammond wanted no political Job, but
rather he wanted to be viewed In the light
of working reform for reform sake only.
The other avowed candidate for the. place
is W. B. Rose, the Norrls Brown political
manager and chairman of the republican
state committee. He has the support of
Senator Brown, publicly acknowledged by
the Junior senator, while it come straight
that Senator Burkett, while feeling
fxiendiy to Rose, likes Hammond the bet
ter. While Senator Brown owes much of
his success to the good advice and the
able manner in which Mr. Rose looked
after his political Interests, he hi also In
debted to Roea Hammond for supporting
him, the politicians say, at the proper
time to the scrap. The political guesaers
down here have lined up to watch the
contest, believing It may develop into a
nice one. The advent of Mr. Hammond
came, ( It Is said, after R. B. Schneider
and the senators concluded they could not
land former United States Marshal Me th
ews. Some of the guessers are saying
Schneider may be playing a fine game In
order to get in his man Mathews as a
compromise.
Mr. Hammond was In Lincoln yesterday
and acquainted his friends with the fact
that he wants the place. Senators Burkett
and Brown are not talking of the matter
at all, except to say both men are after
the place and that nothing will come up
in the fight to Jar the pleasant relations
now existing between them. In the mean
time Elmer Stephenson will probably be
allowed to hold on peacefully until next
January, when he Is willing to retire and
might, perhape, be persuaded to stay awhile
longer to keep peace to the political fam
ily. Illinois Central Rallca.
