MITCHELL, a t., Aug. 5.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) At a meeting of the democratic
state central committee this morning. It
was decided to -change -the plan of getting
the nominees of the Rapid City convention
on (he ballot under the head of tha demo
cratic column. The committee deolded to
tender the names of the candidates to the
secrttaryof state arid if he refuses to place
the names . under the democratic ..column
the case will be submitted to the supreme
court for an Immediate decision. The pri
mary law provides for the nomination of
candidates at the county-convention to sup-"
ply vacancies on the county ticket, but
omits any reference to the state ticket in
eases of vacancies.
There was . a good representa
tion of the democratlo candidates on the
state ticket and members of the state
central committee In the city to
select a chairman for the state; centra!
committee. What opposition thore was to
Dick Lyon of Vermillion at . the Rapid
City convention faded away at the meeting
and he was unanimously i elected . to
"run the democratlo campaign this year.
Hs will name his secretary and treasurer
later, and In the, course of ten days will
appoint the executive committee, which
is to consist of a member from each of
the nine judicial districts. ...
The ork of the state . convention in
Rapid City, so fur as It pertained to the
nomination of the greater part of the ticket,
was all for naught, as was decided by the
attorneys present at the committee meet
ing. They held' that, the nomination of
treasurer, secretary of state, auditor, om-
miB0ner of school and pu'bllo landa, at
torney general, superintendent of public
instruction and railroad commission were
not In conformity with the stats primary
law.
The nomination of Andrew Olson for oon
tresa at . the convention upon the tele
graphed realisation of C. J. B. Hants of
Yankton will not stand either. Mr. Harris,
however, will tender ' his ' resignation In
writing to the secretary of state, and ths
state central committee win appoint Mr,
Olson to the vacancy. .' : .
The democrats are going to make an
exceedingly warm campaign for the .elec
tion of Judge W. W. Soule for ths short
term of congress, and they allege that the
republicans are not going to put up a hard
fight for the place for Martin, tha repub
lican nominee. This evening Judge Boule,
ex-Uuvernor Lee and others are addressing
a meeting of the Bryan and Leo clubs.

W. A, GEOEQE H01IE FE031 OHIO
Broken Saw Man Wit Helped Notify
Next President Tells of tho Tre
saengons Demonstration .
at Claclaoatl.
"Members of the notification committee,
who told William Howard Taft that he
was the choice of the republicans for
president, have taken a solemn oath to
gather at Washington. March 4. next and
attend the Inauguration ceremonies," said
W. A. George of Broken' Bow,. the Ne
braska member of the committee, who la
In Omaha e route to his home after
spending a month in the east.
"The demonstration which the ' elttaene
of Oho, of Cincinnati and of Kentucky
gave the republican nominee, ' would not
have been greater nor more Impressive,
had It been In celebration to Mr. Taft's
election to the presidency.
"And the demonstrstlon was glvsn by
the Ohloani, as Mr. Taft remarked, after
he had been absent from the state for
eight years. He said he felt as though
he had returned home after a long absence
and the demonstration was very gratifying
to him.
"Then the Kentucky demonstration was
remarkable. As the members of the com
mittee on reception, the notification com.
mlttee and Mr. Taft with his guests sailed
up the Ohio liver after the notification
ceremonies, Cincinnati burned thousands
of dollars worth of fire works, the illumina
tions by the cltlsens all along the river
were brilliant. But Ohio had a rival.
Across the .river In Kenturky there wore
about as many fireworks used and ths
illuminations were not secondary by any
rresns.
Blae Grass Enthnslasm. '
"Speaking of this with the mayor of
Cincinnati, I learned ' that Kentucky had
not been Invited to participate In any way
and the Ohtoans had nothing to do with
the sending up of thousands of rockets on
ths Kentucky shore. It was spontaneous
enthusiasm, volunteered In the Blue Grass
state."
. Mr. George said he had learned sines that
It was at the suggestion of Mr. Taft that
the committee went to the home where tho
notification ceremonies were held In their
business suits and refused to recognise a
plug hat or full dress with having any
thing to do with ths occasion.
"Polloe kept the crowds outside ths Iron
fence, surrounding the Taft home, until
the candidate arose to speak, when he made
a big hit by saying that he would like to
see all the men and boys In the city on the
lawn, if it was possible to get them there,
but as it was not, he would like to have as
many as could get In and fill up tho lawn.
Mr. George was particularly impressed
with the Illumination of the old home of
Mr. Taft, and the' playing of the band,
while on ths boat, and said the candidate
wss almost overcome by emotion as he
spoke to the members of the committees
and guests on board ths ship.
"I sinoerely appreciate the honor ths re
publicans of Nebraska have done me,"
said Mr. George. "I believe the ceremonies
at Cincinnati laat Tuesday impressed ms
more than any stngls event In my Ufa.
That was also ths experience of others
present and I feel more confident than ever
that William H. Taft will bs our nsxt presi
dent." '
GROUND - .NOT FATALLY DRY
oil Needs Rain, hat Corn Is Still tn
Goon Condition In Ne
braska. While the ground of Nebraska Is some
what dry It Is not seriously so except on tho
Kansas branches of ths McCook division
of the Burlington, according to the crop
and soil report of the Burlington railroad.
Corn mads good progress last week, except
west of McCook, and on the Kansas
branches, where it does not amount to
much of the total crop. The estimate on
the Lincoln division for corn Is still at 10$
per Cent in comparison with an average
crop, on the McCook division 89 per cent
and on the Wymore division 81 per cent,
which is t per cent better than the report
of the week. A rain would be a great
tha corn.
The we?k was most favorable for stack
ing and threshing so that about all that
part of the wheat crop which has not been
threshed has been stacked.
Oata are turning out to be an average
crop In Nebraska and of good quality. Po
tatoes also will make an average crop. The
Lyon branch west of Denver had several
good rains last week, and the sugar beets.

Street Commissioner Flynn sent a long
eommunlcaUon to ths city counoll Tuesday
evening asking that something be dons this
year toward procuring street cleaning ma
chinery for next year Instead sf putting it
off until too late. City Clerk BuUer forgot
about tbs communication, however, and no
action wag taksn.
Tbs street commissioner says U lg utterly
foolish to attempt to keep clean ths 110
miles of pavsd streets with ths four dilapi
dated sweepers which have been In com
mission ten years. He aaks for seven
sweepers. Three flushers snd three pickup
wagons, and says with that equipment It
would bs possible t keep a crew on ths
downtown streets all ths time and another
crew ' la ths residence districts. ' Dsnvsr.
held neut model of cleanliness, la cited.
It haa $40,000 invested In street cleaning
machinery. . tba. equipment consisting of
fourteen sweepers, twenty dump wagons,
forty brush hands, three flushers and two
sprinklers. Ths sum ot ISO. 000 Is expended
annually by the street cleaning department.
Mr. Flynn also calls attention to ths error
In the street sprinkling method In vogue In
Omaha. Tho streets ars sprinkled by pri
vate parties, paid by private concerns. If
a business man refuses te contribute the
street Is not sprinkled In front of his place
of business. Ths street commissioner be
lieves that the city should attend to ths
street sprinkling and then all the streets
would bs sprinkled and no dry spots left.

far Cora.
Almost 600,000 bushels more wheat, ar
rived on the Omaha market during July
Just passed than during the same month
last year, while the receipts of corn
amounted to 116,700 bushels more than dur
ing July. 1907.
Good prices were the electro-magnets
which drew both corn snd wheat out pf the
country, especially the corn. Reports that
there wss no corn in the country to send
to msrket were discredited each time t)ie
price got ground the 75-cent mark4(and
farmers sent In a string of cars, i- .
Wheat receipts were helped by the rush
ing to market of many carloads of new
wheat. But July Is the first month when
the Grain exchange has Issued a good re
port practically elnce laat December. The
receipts for the first six months of 1!
show a decrease of $,7$8,$0O bushels la all
grains as compared to the first six months
of 1907. ......
The receipts for July mean two ..things,
according to the grain dealers: The farm
ers have confidence In the .Coming, corn
crop and are sending their old corn to mar
ket; they already know what tbe wheat
crop la going to be and are. sending in
grain as early as possible to secure prices
which will not be maintained when It is
known how large the yield of wheat will
be In Nebraska and Kansas.
