STATE REPUBLICANS MEET Nebraska Committee Holds Harmo ' ' nious Session in Omaha. CONVENTION CALLED IN LINCOLN Twenty-Seven Committeemen At- tend and' Sentiment Among Them , Appears for United Effort for Party. ' : ; ' i The republican state convention, set for July SO is to be held at Lincoln by- the unanimous decision of the state central committee in its meeting at. the Millard hotel Tuesday. Twenty-seven of the thirty-three members of the. committee were represented either in person -or by proxy. The meeting was harmonious through out. The doaen or more committeemen and candidates who were called upon to speak, proceeded cautiously and mostly closed their, speechea, after, less. 'than a dozen well- guarded words. The name of Theodore Roosevelt was not mentioned, and only once during the evening was the name of President Taft mentioned. , E. M. Pollard of Nehawka when called to the floor said that in his opinion the republicans of the state had the least excuse of any state in the union for undertaking to form a new party. He said that so far as he was concerned he intended to support the republican ticket from President Taft down, and he hoped that the republicans of the state would all stand by their colors and do the same thing.- The men tion of Taft's name was applauded. Reunited Effort Suggested. Dr. F. Wilcox of Hubbell suggested that the republicans forget they held a con vention . in Chicago . and now get their sLoulders to the wheel, and do business for the republican party. R. B. Howell, the new national republican committee man, was present and spoke a very few words. E. R. Guerney of Fremont urged har mony In the party and called attention to the fact, that there had been some evidence of a difference of opinion among republicans of the rural districts and others. M. T. Harrison of Dunbar an swered him by saying that the farmers are a live, thinking lot of men and that they no longer allow anyone to do their thinking for them. Adjournment followed Immediately upon this very mild tilt and as a whole the committeemen said It was one of the most harmonious meetings they had ever' seen. Committee Names Chairman. The executive- committee was em powered to recomend the temporary chairman for the coming convention. Some discussion arose over the point in the call for the convention, that states the "credentials of the delegates to the convention should be filed with . the secretary of the state committee at least five days before the date of the state convention." Committeemen from some of the western districts held that to get credentials fo the secretary that soon from their sections was very dif ficult In view of the fact that some of the county conventions were held a very short time before the state convention. As. the phrase read "should be filled Instead of "shall be filed," however, it was allowed to stand. Resolutions were adopted in regard to the death of Committeeman S. W. Burn ham of Lincoln, deploring the passing of a valiant worker in the republican cause. Those , Who Attended. Committeemen present were: Edgar Ferneau, Auburn; M. T. Harrison, Dun bar; E. F.

McConaughy, Holdrege; D. C Johns, Burwell; J. R. McCarl, McCook; J. M. Lynch, Bridgeport F. A. Marsh of Seward has removed from the state, and S. W. Burnham of Lincoln died during the last year. J. M. Elwell of Springfield served as - proxy for B. Hendricks of Wahoo for the third district; John M. Mc Allaster of Neligb for George Coupland of Elgin for the Ninth; J. D. Killen of Beatrice for A.-D. Spencer of Barnston for the Fourteenth; Nels P. Hansen of Lincoln for H. JG. Thomas of Harvard for Nineteenth; C. II. Gregg for M. P.
