Pollard of Newhawka, who was vis iting here yesterday. Mr. Pollard said that he has been over a considerable part of the state and has received reports from nearly all of the counties and he added that he was warranted in saying that re publicans of Nebraska are as en thusiastic over his candidacy now as they were when they demanded that he should accept the filing they made, in his behalf a few months ago. "I have been assured by leading republicans of the state that mem bers of the party are concentrating the vote in my lehalf," he said, "and I find that is particularly true of all except a few counties in the are east of a north and south line through Custer county and extend ing to the Missouri river. This sit uation" gratifies me very much, be cause it indicates that my chances for'nomination are good." ' 1 Mr. Pollard expressed confidence that he would receive a large vote 5n Donglas county. He submitted the following excerpt from a letter re ceived this week from I. A. Rcheau of Broken Bow as typical of many letters he is receiving: "We believe that all of the other candidates should getout of the way and do it at once. This does not mean that they are not all good men. We here will vote for any one of them rather than for ' the present governor. But we know this,, that they are practically unknown and it is absolutely impossible for them to be put forward and win at this late date. I know Mr. Hall and Mr. Mc Mullen very well and under 'normal conditions would not hesitate to give either of them my personal support. I am now, and have at all times since the string has been tightened, been a believer that yon are the logical candidate and the only man who can sway the state and wrench it from the grasp of Mr. McKelvie."

Bramhall, special assistant to the attorney general of the United States, was in the United States court in Omaha today representing the government in the case of he United States against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad company.

United States army on June 23, 19,17. while he was guarding the Union Pacific bridge in Omaha.

' Omaha Retail Grocers ' Against Sunday Opening The majority of . Omaha retail grocers are against opening their places of business on Sunday, Mayor Smith announced yesterday. In an open letter to Qty Prose cutor Thomas B. Murray he s'tated his recent request for an expression of opinion from grocer regarding proposed repeal of the Sunday clos ing ordinance had resulted nv "an almost universal response in favor of the present ordinance and against any modification."
