TAMIL Y FIGHT IS GETTING HOT afetealfe Hip la rtank Pleda-laa; Farfy taltlatlv and Refer ta, the Wheel, torses Are Rampant. From a Ktaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. July 2X. Specll.)-The very Uncertain endorsement of Governor Shal lenheraer .n1 'the democratic legislature by the. democratic tate convention yester day was brought about only after three member! of the resolutions committee had begged and pleaded with the majority of the committee to he allowed to insert the plank In the platform. The paragraph that was allomed to be put In the platform was aecepted by the majority of the com mittee after several stronger ones had been rejected and then It was favored only by three members of the committee. Rich aid L Metcalfe, Harvey Newbranch and George C. Glllam. At ore Ume during the proceedings the eommlt'ee aaa given the information that unl.., It endorsed the administration. Gov ernor Fhkllcnberger would make a fijtht on Hie floor of tha convention for an en dorsement. Four members of the eonmtttee. Edgar Howard. W H. Thompson, Jui'ge Cowan and II J Ludl, favored the flKht. but Neahtar.ch. who held that regent's com mission safe in his pocket. Joined with Metcalfe and Glliam (n a plea not to dis grace th party "by refusing some crumb of satisfaction to the first democratic goveirfov Nerbaskn has had in years," and eo the majority consented to put In the p.ank One Plnnk a Surprise. The platform was strictly a Metcalfe affair, notwithstanding Chairman Loomls named a wet resolutions committee But the majority of the committee was asleep at the switch and Metcalfe threw In his initiative a and referendum plank and it waa voted for unainmously. The report of the committee was held back so long that many of the delegates had gone home without waiting for It and so when the initiative and referendum plank was read those in the hall who had been entrusted with the care of these matters permitted Metcalfe to put one over them. After the convention was over and some of the delegates discovered what had been done to them, they were free to express their dissatisfaction. Harry Hayward of Omaha and others did not mlnee matters In their denunciation of the initiative plan. Can didates for supreme Judge through their friends were put out because the platform was not limited to the endorsement of the nonpartisan judiciary and they discovered too lata that they had been out-generaled by an older hand at the business. A aotfcer Blow to Governor. But tha worst bomb of all that was thrown into the Shallenberger camp was tha declination of Chris. Gruenther of the position of chairman of the state com mittee. That many of the Dahlmanites knew Gruenther would not accept the place there la not the least doubt. Gruenther had expressed himself before the conven tion and his statement had been published in The Be. But Shallenberger. to make peace. Insisted that Gruenther should be named and the convention helped him out only to see the Job thrown Into the face of tha governor. The program for next year has already been mapped out by the opponents of the governor, and it includes the election of Chris. Gruenther for chairman and the nomination of Dahlman for governor, or his attempted nomination. 'The new viaduct on North Tenth street will be started Thursday.
