abatement.
(From a Staff Correspondent.
MNCOI.N, Jan. 14 (Special.) The next
Important act of the thirty-second session ,
of the Nebraska legislature Is to elect a '
I'nlted States senator. The old atylo hitter
fltsht and long drawn out dead lock will
undoubtedly be missing features this time"
as fully three-fourths of the members of i
the two liouaes have signed a pledge to
follow the Oregon plan and vole for the
candidate who secured the highest number
of votes Gilbert M. Hitchcock. There
' seems to be little doubt about the election
of Hitchcock on the first ballot.
The procedure of electing a senator Is
fixed by law and the first step will be
taken
In each house Independently. A
viva voce vote will lie taken on the candi
dates. This vote will be recorded on the
Journals and at noon Wednesday the
houses will meet In Joint session. The
records are then examined and If any one
candidate has received a majority vote
he will be declared elected without further
balloting, if not a Joint ballot will he used
until an election Is accomplished.
Action of Those IVot rirdared.
The only faction of the senate that Is I
not expected to full Into line without !
hesitation Is made of the twenty or more j
republicans divided between the bouses I
who never signed a promise to vote for the
choice of the people and are ostensibly not
In favor of a democratic candidate. They
are scheduled to meet Monday or Monday !
night and decide upon a concerted mode of !
art Ion.
As Mr. Hitchcock's personal representa- .
tlve In the field. Chris Gruenther Is
registered at a Lincoln hotel and will re- .
main until all the procedure Is safely over
and the election Is done with. Numerous '
questions have been asked as to the prob
ability of the candidate's personal attend
ance. He Is expected here Monday to
remain until the election Is over.
t'olton'a t'oaltlon.
In hl situation many republicans agree
with' Colton of 1'ork,; who said Saturday
afternoon, "I shall vote for Mr. Hitchcock,
although I am not under pledge because I
think It good politics to do so. We do not
know how soon an occasion may arise
when democrats mil be asked to vote for a
republican who has been the choice of the
people and we will be wise to establish the
right precedent. I think the republicans
ought to get together and vote for the
people's candidate without making any
Jectlons." '
ll would be Impossible to say how many
As to Statement o. I.
have algned the promise known an State
ment No. 1 and how many have not. It Is
a fact, however, that In some counties the
statements were not even presented to the
candidates for their consideration and In
qulrles have shown that some of them were
entirely Ignorant of their chance to go
upon record o nthls question.
Among the present members of the house
the following are reported to be free of
pledgea: Barclay of Tawnce, Haller ot
Washington, Nutsman of Cmbb, McGrew of
Kranklln. Housh of Antelope, Hersog of
Washington. R. R. Smith of Boone. HI ley
of Gage. Colton of York. Baker of York.
Kent of Sheridan, Moody of Custer, Rob-
rrts of Phelps and Clark of Cherry. Be-
.Ides these republicans there are four dem
ocrats, gcheuth of Platte, Regan of Platte
Undsey of Webster and Hagy of Saline.
The senate has one democrat, Alue;t of I
Platte, and five republicans, A. A. Smith j
ot Boone. Jansen of Gage. Reynolds of

Ideas for which the Land Eliow stands.
' The Western Development association
bids fair to become a most Important fac
tor among the forces which shape the
destiny of the great territory lying to Hie
west of the Missouri river. The popula
tion of the vast areas, now In Idle fruH
leesness. with an Industrious agricultural
people Is the mlHslon of the Omaha Land

may be ultimately depends. In large meas
