(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 14.-(Special.)-Again
has the sting of Ingratitude shown Itself
i the progressive movement. Again has
the hydra-headed monster of "treachery"
lifted Its "unwelcome head' and colled Its
ugly arms about a perspiring patriot and
lie has gone down to defeat in the house
of his seeming friends. -
i Last night when' the state committee if
Jm Teddycan wing' of the republican
party began to gather In the coiridor of
the Llndell hotel In this city It was evi
dent thai something might come about
which would not bear the Inspection of
the public eye. Frank P. Corrick, who
had been slated for the chairmanship of
'the committee, wore a troubled air-and
his frequent conferences with friends de
moted that he feared that something was
going to drop and that it might' be him
self. ' ; '
It- was- nearly 1 9 " o'clock before the
schemers had pulled the wires far enough
ifio that ' they were sure of success and
could call the meeting to order.., After
the newspapermen who were' present had
"been fired a motion was made that the
.committee 'proceed to elect a' chairman
knd an informal vote was taken, result-
ng as foilowa : F. P. Corrick, .10; Nels
arisen, 3, and A. P. Epperson, 16. A for
mal vote was taken, the three Hansen
votes going to Epperson, giving him 19
and Mr., Corrick. the same: 10-
Husenetter, , Bee . and Bohrer.were ap
pointed, to "break the news" to the Judge
and escort him to the meeting, which was
Bone, and Mr: Epperson delivered a short
address. Among other things he said
hat be believed that theTaft .men should
le given a chance to vote for their can
1 Hidate just the same as the Roosevelt
men would have a chance to vote for the
I man they preferred. He , said that he
hought the chance would be given them
o do so. " - , ;
Johnson Speaks His Mind.
Allen Johnson, the' delegate on the
National ticket with the peculiar ideas,
was present in the meeting and said a
ifew . things which- were ' not on the pro
gram. John O.' Yelser, seeing Mr.' John-
eon ,in the room,- suggested, that he. be
Invited to speak and explain his peculiar
position. Chairman Bushnell objected to
Mr. "Johnson ' making any explanation at
all and said that he had' a legal title to ,
his job ' as . elector and the boys ought
not to embarrass' him by asking him
quest Ions. Paul. Clark agreed with Bush
nell that the best thing 'to do . Was to
keep quiet." This seemed to strike Mr.
I Johnson lit the wrong place and he pro
ceeded to say things,
"1 want to say that I am ashamed of
you fellows," shouted Mr. Johnson.'. "You
Invited me to come here and after throw
ing out the' reporters you are afraid to
let me. say anying. The1 Chicago conven
tion was a rotten affair, but this meeting
Is Just as bad." Mr Johhsott. then , stated
Ills position. He said that the repub
licans of the state' had twice decided in
favor of Mr. Roosevelt and he proposed
to vote' for "him 'regardless of what the
committee wanted., ',"1 don't care what
you do," shouted . the gentleman, "I am
on the ticket and. I am going to stay
there and cast my, vote for Roosevelt,
and you can't get me off. I came down
here to get some advice, but I see I don't
Iwant, and you don't want mine either."
The chairman was given the right to
pelect his secretary and ' treasurer and
also to appoint a vice -- chairman from
ch of , the -congressional districts and
one at large, uncoin was we unanimous
choice of the meeting for state headquar
ters.
. Just to show that, his ."election as chair
inan of the state committee was a com
wlete surprise, Jud.ge Epperson announced.
Bust before ' the , meeting adjourned that
lion, which he had intended to give out,
.but would withhold it till later.

The executive committee was empow
ered to select a stato chairman and all

.Mr. Meeker of Chase county aid that
he understood that "our brethren on the

and If so and they were willing to give
us a chance to; vote .for our electors

Peddlers in Autos
! Must Pay License
j (From a Staff Correspondent.)
' LINCOLN, Aug. H.-(Special.)-M. . F.
Stanley, county attorney of Hamilton
county, called at the office of the at
torney general yesterday regarding the
construction ofthe la w'pertainlg to ped
dlers. The law says that peddlers and
like venders shall pay a county license
of $25 where they carry a pack, 50 for
vehicles drawn by one horse and $75 when
drawn by two or more horses. It seems
that some Individual in that county has
been doing business with an automobile
and refused to pay the license because the
law did not say anything about canvass
ing with an automobile.
Mr. Stanley construed the law to be
that' an automobile was driven by power
designated as so ' much horsepower and
therefore would be classed the same as
any other vehicle and informed the seller
that he would haVeto pay the limit
of $T6 for two or more horsepower.
Assessment Board
Finishes Its Hearing;
; Many Protests Made
(Frem a Staff Correspdondent.
: LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. H.-(Speclal.)-The
state board of assessment finished
Its hearing at noon today. Assessors and
county attorneys made pleas-before the
board that their own counties might be
lowered or that other counties adjoining
them might be brought up to the flgurea
which eauallze the two. ...
. That there were Inequalities in the as
sessments, the board was willing to admit,-hut
could not agree with many of
the men who appeared that the counties
they represented were too low. . '"'
Just before adjournment,. Frank G.
Odell, J secretary of the rural life com
mission appeared before the - board ' on
Inequality of assessment of personal
property as compared with real estate.
He showed figures to show that in Doug
las and'' Lancaster counties the amount
of "money loaned" was entirely out of
proportion to the ' real condlt o s and
while the board admitted his statements
to be probably true, It held that under
the present law there was no remedy as
far as the present board was concerned.
Mr. Odell'was told by Governor Aldhlch
that while his contention was true, the
legislature was the place for him to ap
pear with his statements, as the board
had no power to change the law. '
There were fifty-one counties .In the
state that the board had notified that
land would be raised and seven that it
would be lowered to make an equitable
assessment throughout the Ctate. This
brought to Lincoln 100 or more individ
uals Interested.
. Governor Aldrlch informed those ap
pearing in behalf of their counties that
the state board must raise enough reve
nue to pay- the running expenses of the
state according to appropriations made
by the legislature and that the county
boards must look after the heeJs of
counties and school districts. , i
n automobile In the hope of saving his
life, but he died next day. An damna
tion showed that his liver had. been torn
loose by the accident' and that, e had
suffered other terrible Internal' Injrles.
The body was brought home for burial. .
