"The republican party In Nebraska la In splendid shape," said Senator Brown," and Its candidates will receive the majority of the vote this fall.

Reanhllean PlMfertltt, Addltleas Are Bains Made to Raaka Constantly. HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. 6 (Special.) As Chairman Hayward proceeds on his conference trip by which he Is meeting the republican county chairmen of the state in a series of conference on the political situation tn Nebraska, the slogan adopted by the chairman earlier la the cemDala-n. "Nebraska for Taft, seems more and more to express ths real condi tion in Nebraska. The third conference of ths series, which was held here today, waa attended by chairmen of ten counties of this sec tion of the state, Adams, Nuckolls, uos ner. Perkins, Clsy. Webster, Harlan, Franklin. Phelps and Kearney. During the day the county chairmen met Chair man Hayward at the Bostwlck hotel, glv Ing him a concrete Idea of the political pulse of their respective counties. The Nebraska system of conducting political campaigns, which waa adopted at Colo rado Springs by NattonatChalrman Hitch cock, was discussed fully, with the re sult that a clearer comprehension of this famous system of campaign management was gained and which will further result In a more efficiently organised fight on the enemy this fall. The county chairmen here today were each reasonably optimistic of the out come In their counties this fall, ths con sensus of opinion being that the republi can strength Is experiencing a healthy growth and that no republican disaffec tion appears In the ranks of the party In 'the counties represented here today. While the county chairmen held' these cheerful views on the situation in this section, the large attendance at the con ference Indicated that the chiefs of the party here are keenly alive to the neces sity of an aggressive and unyielding fight for Taft and Sherman and ths republican state ticket. Among those present were; 3. H. Flem ing, Hastings; Dan M. Nettleton, Fair field; J. C. Baylor, Red Cloud; J. Frank Lents, HUdreth; A. C. Chrlstensen, Mln den: F. A. Dean, Holdrege; J. H.

Last evening the large court room was comfort ably filled with cltlsens and farmers who came to hear Charles Sloan of Geneva de liver an address before the York Republi can Taft club. Never In many years has so much Interest been aroused as In tho present campaign and the speech of Mr. Sloan has set the old and young republican workers to work. The campaign in York county promises to be one of the best in years. Republicans have been making a canvass of wards and townships and have made a moat thorough search for republicans whom democrats claim will vote for Bryan.

Inviting Roosevelt republi cans to attend. The record of the Roose velt republican Is that In former campaigns he stumped the county in which he lived for Bryan. The Republican Taft club is making ar rangements for campaign rooms and pro poses to push the campaign from now on and declare that up to date they have con verts to Taft and propose to make the re publican majority in York county the larg est in Its history.

Aug. 6.-(8peclal.) CHIxens are greatly stirred up over the action the city council took a week or so ago In the matter of real estate assess ment In the town. This body took it upon themselves to go over the assessor's books and recommend that about 20) pieces of property be assessed higher, and recom mended that the county board make the raise. The owners of the property In ques tion made a strenuous kick, and the out come has been a net lowering of assessed value of real estate In the city. The council acted In evident good faith in the matter, but there Is considerable criticism as to the method they used. The property owners say they would not object to a certain per cent raise on all property, but they think the council did wrong to recommend certain pieces to be assessed higher. It seems to be the prevailing opln ion that there is more need of equalizing personal than there is of equalising real estate. Saloon Attached for Debt. NEBRASKA CITY, Aug. 6. (Special.)
