HEADIAYJN STATE
Efforts to Foment Trouble in
Nebraska Delegation Meet
Little Success.
DEMOCRATS BECOMING ALARMED
(From a 8tff Corraaponilant. )
Lincoln, May 20. (Special.)
Sentiment appear to be growing fast
round Lincoln that Charles E.
Hughes will be the nominee of the
republican national convention.
Those interested in trying to foment
criticism of the Nebraska republican
delegation because some of them
have expressed,a sentiment in favor
of going to Hughes after a compli
mentary vote has been cast for Cum
mings, do not appear to be getting
very far, for the almost universal feel
ing that Hughes is the logical man
counteracts any criticism of the dele
gation, mose who would have the
delegation vote for Cummins to the
end are not for Cummins, but for or
still some other candidate or have a
selfish end in view.
The amusing part of the whoje
thing comes from the fact that the
chief criticism comes from a derm
cratic source and is used for the very
reason that democrats around Lin
coln admit that with Hughes the
nominee, the prospects will be poor
for President Wilson to succeed him
self. A well known democrat residing in
Lincoln received a leter this morn
ing from a prominent democrat at
Washington who has been in close
touch with situation, in which he
said that there was little doubt but
that Hughes would be nominee. With
such a feeling existing around Wash
ington, the opinion is becoming more
common here that the Nebraska dele
Ration would be foolish to stick by
Cummins after t was demonstrated
he had no possible chance to win.

SERIOUSLY DENIED
Rumors That He Will Bolt Part of
Detnocrat Ticket .Now
Fill Air.
HE SAYS TO WAIT AND SEE
(From a Staff rorraapondent.)
Lincoln, May 20. (Special) The
campaign for the passage of the dry
amendment to the constitution may
now be said to bef ully launched, two
banquets attended by those interested
in the amendment being held at the
Lindell hotel last night.
Both banquets were In charge of
W. T. Thompson, manager of the dry
federation league; H. C. Carson, sup
erintendent of the state anti-saloon
league, and A. G. Wolfenharger, who
for years has been the attorney for the
temperance forces.
Mayor Bryan of Lincoln was toast
master at one banquet, and hinted
that he might bolt a portion of the
democratic ticket. To the Bee today
Mr. Bryan said that the papers had
bren a little hasty in taking this view.
"Many of us in Nebraska have long
been hitched to stakes," said Mr.
Bryan, "but we are going to pull some
stakes this fall; this is no time for
gentlemen's agreements; I expect to
stay in the fight until the state and
nation go dry; the democratic party is
drying out."
When the question was put to him
point blank whether he intended to
support the entire democratic state
ticket, the mayor said when he had
something to say along that line he
would issue a statement.
Speakers at the banquet were Sen
ator E. J. Burkett, candidate for the
republican nomination for the vice
presidency: A. L. Sutton, republican
candidate for governor; H. I. Shum
way, republican candidate for lieuten
ant governor; Elmer E. Thomas of
Omaha, Judge Hand of Kearney and
a dozen others.
