DEMOCRATS KOT PLENTIFUL

CFrom a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Aug. 28.-(8peclal.) An inves
tigation of the "Personal Rights league
after the departure of Mayor Dahlman
this morning showed that none of the can
didates for the democratic and populist
nominations for governor will get much ot
a vote from Its membership. The reason
is simple. Most ot the members have been
registered as republicans and therefore
will not vote In the democratic primary.
Those who are registered as democrats
will Tote for the candidate they think Is
the atrongest, and Just at this time it
looks as though Dahlman will get most
of that vote. Dahlman Is the only one of
the three wfcho has come out against county
option, and therefore he has the sympathy
of most of the democratic members of the
league In this city.
George W. Berge, ef course, will get the
majority of the democratic vote here and
probably ail the . members of the anti
saloon league who are registered as dem
ocrats. Bhallenberger will get some of the
old-line democrats here. But as a matter
of fact the democratic vote will be so
small In this county at the primary, that
none ot the candidates will be materially
helped.
Berae's Friends Sore.
Friends of George W. Berge are put out
because their candidate cannot break Into
print through the medium of the alleged
party organ at Omaha. Notwithstanding
Berge has been making a campaign, his
friends have been unable to make the
Omaha paper see It, and they have failed
absolutely to get his speeches or even ex
cerpts published. They lay It sll to a desire
on the part of Congressman Hitchcock to
nominate A. C. Bhallenberger. The attitude
of the World-Herald has brought Dahlman
and Berge closer together than ever and
they are saying nice things about each
other. What they said about Bhallenberger
and what they are going to say about the
Harlan county man indicates that he will
get little comfort at any time from either.
Democratic Headquarters Quiet.
Democratic state headquarters at the Lin
coln hotel Is about as busy looking as a
tired horse under a shade tree. Tom Allen
drops In occasionally because he Is chair
man and one girl stenographer Is kept fairly
busy answering Inqdlries for the where
abouts of the chairman. 80 far as the eye
could detect there are no other ethnog
raphers employed except the one who an
swers the telephone.
Warm Tim at Primary.
The primary campaign In Lancaster
county is winding up at a blood heat tem-
ptrature. Both the county option advo
cates and the anti-county option advo
cates have named slates and both are

county option have ben classed by th? ad
herents of county option as ''saloon men"
and other such terms. The. one standard
by which candidates are Judged is county
option. Past, present and future has been
lost sight of by the pr6Mbltlonlsts. It tne
candidate Is for county option he Is sup
ported by this element. If opposed, or If
be refuses to say he favors county option,
he Is opposed. That is the one question
asked. On the other hand, the other side
Is just as bad. If the candidate la for
county option, he will not do. Any other
qualifications are not necessary In Lan
caster this year. Party lines will cut no
Ice with either side In Ihe election cither,
so they say.

clal.) Gilbert Hanks, who Is sinking a deep

cluded to go at least SuO feet further, and
in this he has been Joined by his neighbors.
At that depth he has encountered several
traces of oil and two good veins of coal.

will strike either a large volume of oil or
gas. There has been encountered a heavy
flow of artesian mater, which he shut off
with steel casing, and now has a dry well
to go further down. If anything is struck
at this well, the other well in this city,
which Is down to the depth of 1,000 feet,

successful will sink another about a mile
west, which will be s larger hole and go
down 1.800 feet
