Former Congressman Dcoides to En
ter the Primary Race.
A. W. JEFFERIS IS NO'
Kennedy Announces 111
Upon Which lie Proposes to Pre
sent Ilia .Vnme for the
Ansuat Primaries.
A. W. Jefferis, prominent Omaha at
torney, has decided not to be a candidate
for congress on the republican tloket and
at the same time John L. Kennedy, at
torney and former congressman, has de
cided to make the race for the republi
can nomination at the primaries In
August
Mr. Jefferis declined In the following
letter to John L. Kennedy, dated May 23:
I am indeed most grateful to some 2,000
republican friends who have so kindly
signed petitions requesting mo to be a
candidate at the primary election In Au
gust for the republican nomination for
congress, and I appreciate your personal
Interest tor me In this matter most
highly.
It Is with reluctance that I decline the
"call" of tho petitioners and your urgent
demands that I become a candidate.
However, 1 was taught In my early lite
to say "no" on some occasions, and 1
feel that this Is one of them. I have
given tho matter much earnest thought,
considered conditions and my relations
thereto, and havo decided that under the
circumstances I cannot be a candidate.
Having come to this conclusion I feel
that I should apprise you and my friends
who have urged me to enter the race
of my decision.
No, John L-, I want to say to you that
many persons mentioned your name for
the republican nomination for congress
to me, and they are asking the question
if you would again become a candidate.
Ytjur record as congressman during the
Roosevelt administration, your activities
as chairman of the republican state com
mittee In 1911-12 and your qualifications
as a lawyer and business man mark you
as a man admirably qualified and ablo to
represent this district In conn-ess. I
know ot no one better qualified than
yourself for the position, then why not
enter the race yourself? It is said that
one good turn deserves another. You
have kindly insisted that I enter the
race, and I have concluded that I cannot
do so. Now In turn I urge you to become
a candidate for congress on the repub
lican ticket. Surely all of the good and
sufficient reasons expressed by you to
me as to why I should become a. candi
date will apply to yourself as well, and
the cause of tho republican party is
growing brighter with each day. If I
am not mistaken, you will find that this
is a republican year in Nebraska ana
this congressional district.
Now. John. I have decided not to be a
candidate, and It's up to you to get In

WASHINGTON, June 2,-Close restric
tions on the use of Injunctions In labor
disputes arc the feature of the section
of the Clayton anil-trust bill, reached
today In the house.
It also provides that no Injunction shall
prohibit strikes, peaceful picketing, peace
ful persuading of persons to work or
quit work, primary boycotts, the payment
of strike benefits, or peaceful onsemblago.
An amendment proposed by the Judiciary
committee and agreed upon by represen
tatives ot organized labor and administra
tion leaders, proposed:
"Nor shall any acts specified In this
paragraph be construed or held to be un
lawful." .
With this amendment, Representative
Henry of Texas declared that the pro
vision becamo "the bill of rights of Amer
ican organized labor."
Mann and Murdock got Into a wordy
exchange over talk of amalgamation ot
their parties.
"Do you think." asked Mr., Murdock,
"there Is any chance of amalgamation
betwen a set of men who want to go
forward and a set of men who want to
sidestep and dodge everything?" He said
Mr. Mann hart not consulted Colonel
Roosevelt enough and that the colonel
could not Justly be accused of dodging
anything. He asserted "the gentleman
from Yale," as he referred to Mr. Taft,
and the republican leader ot the house
and the "reactionaries -at the other end
of tho capltol," had blocked anti-trust
legislation.
"There has ben talk of amalgamation,"
replied Mr. Mann, "but the so-called pro
gressive are coming back Into the re
publican party. It Is not amalgamation,
but whatever the outcome, Mr. Murdock
will be left out In the cold for repudiating
the republican party which elected htm
to copgress."
The house adopted without a record
vote the AVebb amendment declaring that
none of the nets specified peaceable
strikes, ' boycotts and -picketing-shall "bo
constriled to be illegal. All other amend
ments were rejected and the whole section
covering the. Injunction questions was
adopted.

The Mexican delegates are reporting to
their government tho developments with i

the subject from the mediators.
The American delegates havo not fin

about the constitutionalists and are await

ite would ba resolved on constitutionalist
representation, though the mediators wsre
reported to be framing a reply to thn
last Carranza note.
The statement from Durango, giving Ihe
constitutionalist view of tho mediation
conference was regarded here likely
to delay rather than hurry tho negotia
tions. While no comment was obtainable
those of the conference who did express
themselves pointed to the statement as
concrete evidence ot the constitutional
ists misunderstanding of tho charnctfr
of the negotiations.
The statement, It was said, served to
show a lack ot Information on some of
the Important points being treated here,
especially as to Just what representation
In tho new provisional government the
conference bsd Intended for tho Carran-
xlstas. There Is eome reason to believe
that the conference has planned from

Panama-Pacific Dollar Day
Set Apart by the Governor
The temporary commission selected by
other state officers and myself to con
sider ways and, means for the procuring
of a Nebraska building at the Panama
Pacific exposition now reports a means
by which the money may be raised.
Bronze medallions or medals are being
made bearlnir on one side the great seal
(of the state of Nebraska, and upon the
other side the seal ot tho Pnnama-Paclflo
International exposition. Each contributor
of one dollar toward the Nebraska build
ing will receive one of thes medals.
This plan seums tp me to be most
feasible and expedient. It gives every
loyal Nebraskan an oportuntty to share
in this worthy enterprise, and places a
burden upon no one. Also this Is the first
time, to my knowledge, that the state
sua! will have been circulated In suoh
a movement.
1 am advised that forty states In tho
union and thirty-fix foreign countries
have already selected sites and have pro
vided funds with which to erect buildings
upon the exposition grounds. The states
touching Nebraska on every side are In
that list In states where the legislature
did not feel like Imposing a tax upon
the people for this purpose, the money
was raised by popular subscription.

CALL FOR EIGHTY-TWO ,
THOUSAND HARVESTERS
WASHINGTON, Jurto 2.-Kansas, Mis
sour! andiOklahoma raisers of wheat need
at 'least 82,000 more men to help In har
vesting their crops and the commissioners
of labor of these ' states have asked
Secretary of Labor Wilson to have his de
partment co-operate with' them In ob
taining tho necessary workers..
Tho men will be wanted by, June 16 and
the pay, It Is stated, will range from $2
to $3.60 a day. The period of employment
will be from three to five or six weeks,
Various local- organizations In the threA
states will arrartge for, distributing ths
men among the wheat farmers.
Because of this general response on
the part of other states and nations, tho
proposition comes up to Nebraska upon
a basis of state prestige and pride.
The fllte selected for the Nebraska
building Is one of the very best on tho
exposition grounds. Tho temporary com
mission has In mind erecting a bulldln?
of bungalow type, which will be more
In the nature of an exposition homo-a
place of comfort for Nebraskans, formsr
Ncbraskans and friends from other j
states. Also It will provide an audi-i
torium for tho exposition 'of moving pic- i
turee of Nebraska's resources, I
Therefore, In view of the Important
factors which emphasize the need for a !
Nebraska building at the Panama-Pacific
International exposition, I commend to
the people of Nebraska the raising of
this money through the plan above out
lined. I also proclaim June 17 as "Ne
braska Panama-Paclfle Dollar Day." and
upon that day Nebraskans who feel the 1
patriotic Impulses associated with the
movement may send one dollar to Lieu

Juurnmept ot congress.
The senstor ssld the west needed
crazing land1 law and a powef lav', Uul;
he conceded they would require much
time. Only a few hours was needed, lie
urged, to pass a bill to prold,e for tho
retention by settlers ot the early payi
ments on reclamation projects,
' Four or five years may he a short
tlma for us to pass legislation, but it Is
a long time to tho settler who Is bpn
tlosed out," ho said. "If this session
closes without the passage of this law it
will be an act of Injutlce and Inhumanity
to thousands on tho projects.'
Senator Jones proposed a filibuster to
get the reclamation legislation. To that
Senator Borah added there probably;
would be no river and harbor bill unlcii
the reclamation bill was added to It.
