Visitor Who Sees Things Imagines Circular Insanity Following a queer experience Tuesday nittht, R. C. Mandell of Papilllon wants to know whether a man has circular In sanity when he "see things." Mandell stood at the corner of Fourteenth and Farr.am streets directing a terrified gaxe upon a peaceful cat when he first came to no'ice. "What's the matter, partner?" Policeman ' Carney asked him as the officer came upon th scene. "Say. friend." Mandell whispered huskily, grasping Carney by the arm as though for aid. "Is that a cat walking across the street there? I'O you see it?" "Sure that's a cat. It's a black rat and it's got fuur leva, and, I guess, four paws. Wouldn't surprise me if It had a ounch of sharp teeth. Move along now, or I'll show you a set of pretty little stars." Carney made a move to swing the stranger right RECOUNTING UP TO EACH COUNTY State Board Decides Local Bodies Are Proper Agents tor worn in a cordance witnCourt Decisions. GOVERNOR'S REQUEST DENIED Shallenbereer's Demand Disposed of So Far as State is Concerned. M'COWIN DECLARED WINNER Populist Senatorial Nomination is Settled by Lot in Twenty-Ninth. EACH RECEIVED BUT ONE VOTE Ilrqacat of W. J. Taylor to Delay An. uonncinsi Result of Democratic llace In Sixth District la Granted. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Sept. '.(Special Telegram. ) The State Canvassing board decided thus morning that any candidate for office whose vote.-j are canvassed by this board may secure a recount in any county he deslrea br filing a request with the stale board within three days after the final canvass. The recounting Is to be done by the county boards.- The state board de cided this because of the holding by at least two ceurts that the county canvass ing boards are the proper beards to' do tho recounting: The action disposes of the governor's' request for a recount of the state so far as the state board is con cerned. , ' W. H. McCowln of Frontier county waa declared the winner of the .populist sena torial nomination in the. Twenty-ninth dis trict. This selection was made by lot, four candidates having received one vote each, their names belog written in. George D. Sayer, who received sixteen votes as a populist, did not push his case, as his name has been printed on the dem ocratic ballot and under the law It could not be legally written on any other ballot. So the attorney for Mr. Sayer sent word to the board that instead of going Into the courts he would endeavor to get the popu list nominee to withdraw. '. ' W. J. Taylor, democratic candidate for congress in the Sixth district, asked that the board declare no candidate a winfler until he had tried out his mandamus suit In the courts. Taylor is asking that sev eral ballots which were thrown out by the county canvassing board of Custer county be counted for him. For technical reasons tha board refused to count about half a dosen ballots. The majority of Judgo Dean In the district is only three votea, he hav ing lost two by the recount In Custer and Buffalo counties. The request was granted. The poard took a recess Indefinitely. Tarlor'a Affidavit. W. J, Taylor. In his affidavit filed with tha board, set out that ha intends to peti tion the courts for a mandamus to com pel the canvassing board of Custer county to reconvene and count several ballots fcr him, which were thrown out. He alleges that he was defeated by five votes for the democratic nomination for congress in the Sixth district, but that the recount In Custer and Buffalo counties had re duced the majority of J. R. Dean, his competitor . to three votes. In Custer county he sets out that two parties voted the straight democratic ticket except on the proposed constitutional amendment On this question the voters marked in the re publican column. Another ballot he said was not counted because the voter had marked a cross after his name In both the democratic and peoples' independent columns. Another ballot waa thrown out because the voter had marked a cross af ter the name of Walker, a candidate on both the populist and democratic tickets in both columns. In all these cases the voters, Mr. Taylor said, have con fined themselves to the democratic ballot except as Indicated. One ballot waa thrown out because the voter had marked the cross after the name of Dean and after Taylor, though it was evident, the affi davit said, that the voter Intended and tried to erase the mark after the name of Dean. First Huruianlous Session. The board decided that Inasmuch as the Douglas county district court had held In favor of the recount by the county board, this action should govern the board. Consequently the board decided that If the application is filed within three days after It makes its cajnvass, then a recount will be granted, but the work will be done by the county board. The state board holds that no candidate running in more than one county can have know ledge of his vote until the state board acts, so under the law as Interpreted, the application If made three days after the state board completea Its work la within the law. For the, first time tha board held a har monious meeting and every vote was unanimous. DAHLMAN GETS TWO MORE VOTES Iteronnt of Thirteen Precincts Give Mayor Advantage.

"Please don't get acre officer, but take a look up at that sign down there, then take a look up at this one up here." Mandell's words guided Carney's gtae toward an electric sign whose letters spelled "Rug Eater." "That's the Krug theater," said Carney, "only we ain't standing right to see It all." Looking at the other slim Carney read "He haw." "That's the Hen snaw, friend." the policeman announced, "you're all right, only you hit town on an off night."

ROOSEVELT IN MILWAUKEE "" r Mayor Scidl Charges Him with Creat ing Falsa Impression of Socialism. COLONEL REFUSES TO REPLY Says Mo Has Mot Talked fartlsnu Politics on This Trip and Will 1 Kot Do So Guest of the I'reaa Club. MILWAUKEE, Sept. 7. Shortly after Colonel Roosevelt arrived here today and before he rat down to breakfast at the Pfvister hotel he found himself Involved In a controversy with Emil Seldel, tho so cialist, mayor, who had declined to act on the reception committee which welcomed the colonel to Milwaukee. In a contribution to the "Big Stick," a newspaper published by the Milwaukee Press club for this occasion, Mayor Seidel stated that "If Mr. Roosevelt comes to Milwaukee holding the same Ideas which he expressed in his magazine article of March 0, W09, it Is clear that he cannot serve the cause of honesty and decency In American political life." "It Is possible that I haye misunderstood the article," stated Mayor Seldel, "but in asmuch . as I am a socialist and he has designated socialism a a thing which Is against morals and religion, abhorent," 'revolting' which would 'replace the fam ily and home life by a glorious state of free lunch counter and a state foundling asylum' I am sure that he will be pleased that I am not personally connected with his reception in the city." Charging the colonel "with a cunning and deliberate purpose to create a false im pression," he declared that the visitor "could lay no claim to the right of preach ing either morality, religion or civic right eousness." , " "In the speaking tour of Mr. Roosevelt through the west," said Mayor Seldel, "I fall to see anything of Importance beyond political playa and designs. As such, of course, it Is of no special service to the present city administration. The problems that now confront our city are of much the same nature as those the nation faces." ' Roosevelt Kefuaea to Reply. On being shown this statement Colonel Roosevelt promptly said: "On this trip I have made no partisan political speeches, and of course shall not breatc through the rule now by dlscuslng either state party mailers or municipal umiieis. ji present, ol course, (.no dominant municipal party In Milwaukee Is the socialist party. "if anyone wishes to know my views on what !s usually called socialism they will find them set out In such fashion that It Is Impossible to misinterpret them or mis understand them in the magazine articles to which the ' mayor In hfs letter refers, and I advise them to read the articles themselves and not what tha mayor says of them." Tho Press club's special publication, "The Rig Stick." especially disavowed respon sibility for the mayor's utterance, saying ilia. "Mr. Roosevelt will understand that Milwaukee's welcome Is nonetheless wholehearted-hardly the less unanlmouH-be-caus the mayor has seen fit to voice a so cialistic) dislike for the former president of the nation." Strenuous Proirram Cut Donn, In spite of the failure of the mayor to Join In welcoming Colonel Roosevelt, the Press club had prepared a most strenuous rrogram. Including half a dozen speeches between breayfast and luncheon time. Realising that this program was Impos sible of execution they cut It down so that the morning hours will Include only visits to the boys' and girls' trade schools, the colonel making It plain before he started to Inspect them that lis visit would be purely one of education for himself and (Continued on Page Tn RESOLUTION TO OUST BALLINGElv Joint Inquiry Corr.mitttc of Congress Gets Into Parliamentary Tangle at Minneapolis.
