LINCOLN, March 6.-(8peclal.)-"Most
any republican will be r-bcl to defeat Con
gressman Dan Stephens If he gets the
nomination In our district," said A. K.
Donovan, editor of the Madison Star-
Mall, at the state house this morning.
Mr. Donovan Is emphatic In his declara
tion that Mr. Stephens has queered him
self with the democrats In tho Third con
gressional district and will not be able
to pull another nomination across, and
If he docs, It will bo practically easy for
a republican to defeat him.
Ills action In dodging the proposition of
appointing postmasters In the' good old
fashioned -way Istho causa of the discon
tent, according to Mr. Donovan, and tho
result of the postofflce primary In Mad
ison, where party workers were turned
down and a man selected by republican
voters for the appointment has left sore
spots which cannot bo healed.
VNobody woujd have kicked very
much," If any of our democratic workers
had been selected for tho place, hut when
you take Into consideration that a re
publican called tho primary and re
publicans voted at that primary and
wero responsible for the choice of the
men selected It Is not a fair shake and
Mr. Stephens will find It out If ho per

davit that he affiliates with both parties.
While making a personal finding In
both cases his democratic filing Is backed
tip by a petition signed by several demo
crats. It Is noted that In his letter ac
companying the filings he. uses, the name
of the "people's Independent" party "first,
though Mr. Pearson has always been a

'According- to Chairman aroavenm it
Is believed that many tax officials of this

thorities in solving the tax nroblem of
their stute.
"The centralization of tax authnritv in
a state tax commission operating In di

of the state' Is a change -which, the Ne
