Tefft, where .tonight 1e will . deliver a
political speech. .
"The republican party In Nebraska la In
splendid shape," said Senator Brown," and
Its candidates will receive the majority of
the vote this fall. I have received numer-
ous reports from various parts of the
state and these reports are to the effect
. that the peope are satisfied with conditions
as the vexlst. . In fact many of the farm
ers have aald they are actually mnd that
Mr. Bryan Is again a candidate. My In-
( formation Is that the farmers will vote
the republican ticket. They ire prosperous
and can see no reason to risk a change."
Senator Brown expects to make a cam
paign of the state this summer under the
direction of w tho republican state com
mittee. Populist Will Vote for Taft.

change. " i
"I get the same reports from different
parts of the district," said Mr. Barnard,
"and It would not surprise mo to see the

feated In thla state worse than ever b

GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Aug. 4 (Special

the feature of the Chautauqua program to

races. .t
The chaatauqua manasment, father than
o further from me city, locaieo us
grounds adjacent to the previously selected
race track and the race enthusiasm Inter
fered greatly at frequent intervals,
This Is the first time." said the senator,
upon the first wave of cheering from the
race track grandstand not a hundred feet
away, "that I have ever run In competition
with a horse race, but. I want to compli
ment the people of Grand Island upon the
fact that many of them care more for
their government and, their country than
they do for a horse race."
At another Interruption, the cheering be
ing- so loud that the senator had to wait
until It subsided, the spesker said that if
he had the management of the Chautauqua
he would get It away from a race track
tomorrow or not have It. Despite the fact
that It was difficult for the speaker and
fur the audience, a large assembly heard

THIRD CONFERENCE AT HASTINGS
Chairmen Report that Iaeteaa !
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

SLOAX TALKS TO TAFT CLUB
York County Republicans Ronsed by
Address ot Geneva Man.
TORK, Neb., Aug. 6. (Special.) 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. They
claim It Is Impossible to find any republi
can voter who has changed and that all
this talk ot the democrats Is baseless. A
number of populists and Independent voters
are indignant over the way Tom Allen Is
trying' to capture their Votef for Bryan and
they declare that under no conditions will
they vote for Bryan,
The fualonlsts are advertising a local cltl
sen as a Roosevelt republican who will ad-
ress a meeting. 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.

RAIX BREAKS HOT WEATHER
Central Portion of Nebraska Visited
sir Fin Showers.
rAIRRT-RT. Neb.. Au. 1 8peclal An
Inch of fain fell during last nleht. breaking
the hot spell. Corn has not suffered es yet,
but one or two days more with the tempera
ture at t8 degrees would have resulted In
damage. The Indication are for more rain.
HARVARD, Neb.. Aug. (.-(Special.)
After several days of excessive heat, with
no rain since Saturday night, July 26. when
a light rain fell, during a heavy electric
storm this morning moisture to the amount
of three-quarters of an Inch fell. This will
be of much value to corn and other farm
Interests, as the top of the ground was
''baked" and corn, with the heavy rains,
wss shallow rooted In many places, and
for this reason more easily dried out.
NEHAWKA, Neb., Aug. S. (Special. ) An
Inch of rain fell last night, which will be
of great benefit to corn and paMures. as
there has been no rain since July 6. The
corn was not Injured by the dry weather,
as the last rain was a fine inch rain, which
thoroughly soaked the ground.,, ;
CLAT CENTER. Neb.. Aug. Special.)
One-half Inch of rain fell here this morn
ing to the great delight of the farmers,
who for the last three days have feared
for the com crop.
Assessment Can sea Tronble.
WTMORE, Neb.. 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.)
