In the proteat filed by Victor Jtosewster against the name of Snphus Neble going on the balldt from Douglaa county, as a popu sVat, because the populists failed to cast 1 yer cent of the vote. Mr. Junkln Is not sure at he t her the vote should be taken as cast at the primary or at the last election as a basis. The section of the law about which Mr. Junkln Is undecided reads as follows: Section 14. No person shall be entitled to or allowed to file a nomination certificate as provided for In this act, or to have his name plaoed upon a primary election ballot for any prvimary election to be held, un- iiiiicai party wnun ne stales in Information concerning the operation of the aw in Nebraska and for copies of the sw. H. -T. Clarke, who fathered the bill In the house, today sent the senator some literature on the question.

Haaly at state Haae. Governor Manly of Indiana and Gover nor Hovh of Kansaa called at the stste house this morning and later took lunch with flnvernor and Mrs. Sheldon.

Land Com missioner Eaton and Secretary of Slate Junkln. Governor Haoly spoke at the as sembly tonight and Governor Hoch passed on to a date of his owa. "Judge" Julius S.

Believing the decision of tha secre tsry of state would be against fusion, they were afraid not to file the namea and so they were filed. Had they known the de cision would favor fualon they no doubt figured the strslght populist electors could be appeased, as there would be little chance fof them to secure the nomination. roraaratlas Fight Over Assessment. BEATRICE. Neb.. Aug. 7. (Special.) (The Board of Equalisation put In the er.tire day yesterday hearing the case against the Beatrice Electric and Gas companies In regard to the proper assessment of their plants. The gam company contends that while It spent over linn.nno In Beatrice. Its plant Is worth or.ly llS.mO. An Issue of t.. OflO In bords had been authorised, but only one-fourth of this amount has been disposed of. The gas company has filed a protest against the assessment of the electric com pany's property. It contends that the elee- trlo company's rjet earnings will pay Inter- the po said affidavit he affiliates with polled at the last election before the primary elec tion to be held, at least 1 per cent of the entire vote In the state, county or subdi vision or district for which he seeks the nomination for office In. A telegram was received by Secretary of State Junkln today from Victor Roeewater, republican national committeeman, calllrsr his attention to the fact that the peoples Independent party hsd failed to poll 1 per cent of the vote In the First, Second and Third congressional districts at the last election. Tha telegram also stated that 1 per cent of the vote was cast by tha peo ples Independent party only In the follow ing counties In these districts: Lancaster, Nemaha, Antelope, Boone, Burt, Knox. Merrick and Nance. In eaoh of the districts mentioned Tom Allen hss filed a bunch of democrats who ara Candidates for election on the peoples Independent party. "In hie telegram M." iflosewater set out that in his opinion it was not tha duty 'of the secretary of state to assume that the parties Hied had a right to go on the ticket, but that It was the duty of the candidates to convince the sec retary they were entitled to go on, the Uset. Jaakln Makes ?fo Derlstoa. On this question Mr. Junkln has reached no conclusion, though Attorney General Thompson has advised him that the posi tion taken by Mr. Roeewater Is correct and legal. Neither Is Mr. Junkln sure whether the terminal tax Idea is growing In Iowa and may be an Issue In the com ing campaign ever there. Senator Dolllver of Iowa has written to the reference de partment of the legislature asking for all few hatters of business." The Judge paid ;Mt Upon an Investment of $300,000 and asks that Its assessment be Increased from $50. 000 to $130,000. R. H. Graham, superin tendent of schools of Wymore, startled the board by asking that his assessment be In creased 1200, making It $1,100, as recom mended by the city council. Councilman McQutnn made a statement to the board and declared that. If It were pos sible.! he should like to have the whole city of Wymore reassessed. He declared the assessment was very unjust, that some of the property was given far below Its value, and In some cases the assessment was greatly out of proportion. He denounced what he termed "a ring of money sharks" who embarrass the city financially ao that Ha warrants will fall below par and draw interest. his respects to Governor Sheldon and then called at the supreme court rooms. While gaslng at the pictures of former supreme Judges he remarked: "I never had a client sent to the penitentiary who paid me to defend him." Allen's Artlea Analysed. An analysis of the action of Tom Allen and his army of legal talent and bangers on, at the conclusion of the hearing on Victor Resewater's protest against his at tempt to steal the Watson votes for Brysn, gives a conclusion that Allen attempted to double-cross populists who really de sired to file as candidates for electors. The fact thst the names of the populist candi dates were really filed Is taken as evidence that Allen got cold feet over his contem plated action and permitted the names to be filed by the secretary of the populist state committee. Here are the facts on which the conclu sion Is based I At the conclusion of the hearing Allen asked for an immediate decision from the secretary of state, giving as a reason for the hsste that If the decision was against fusion, there would be no time to file popu list candidates, ss Saturday wss the last day for filing. It was suggested that the names of can didates for elector could be filed then aid lster withdrawn, should the decision be fsvorable to fusion. To this Allen de murred. About o'clock thst night, however, he reappeared with his army of legal talent. Secretary Wairath of the populist state committee, and applications for seven populist electors were filed. Each applica tion wss signed by the person making It. The signatures seem to be bona fide. The electors live In widely separated parts of the state, from O'Neill to Omaha. From o'clock until 9 o'clock It would have been Impossible to have seen these men snd secured their signatures to the applications. Consequently the applications must hsve been In the pocket of Mr. Allen or Mr. Wairath before the hearing began. It was to the Interest of Mr. Allen that these applications be not filed.' He Is try ing to steal the Watson vote to give it to Bryan. If populist electors go on the ticket as straight populists he will be frustrated. Therefore' the conclusion Is reached that Fraternal ricnle at Teeomseh. TECUMSEH. Neb., Aug. 7. (Special.) The preliminaries of the big fraternal picnic to be held In Tccumseh on August 26 are belr carefully attended to. Already the Highlanders, Modern Woodmen, Woodmen of the World and Degree of Honor have signified their Intention of taking part In the picnic and It la beleved the other orders of the cty wlH follow suit as soon as they hold meetings to decide.
