HIRAM LOOSENS
WRATH ON THOSE
WHOJESERTED
Defeated Candidate Will
"Brand Scoundrels Who
Broke Forth at Chicago,"
He Writes Harrison.
Hiram Johnson nuintr.ins his
imtnimy-like silence on his defeat
in Chicago as the wheels rlick un
!fr him on tlic Overland Limited
which is carrying him to his home
in California.
That is, he maintains a public
silence.
But within his lireast burns the
fire of hate and in his brain little
demons are at work planning re
venue and death, political!-,- speak
ing, to those he considers responsi
ble for his defcrtt.
Frank A. Harrison of Lincoln,
manager of Johnson's campaign in
Nebraska, spilled the beans yester
day when he made public a letter he
received from the Cahfornian as he
sped across Xebraska on his wav
home from the Chicago battlefield.
Here's the Letter.
"I was hoping to see you this
morning at Omaha for two rea
sons." wrote Hiram, as he sat in the
Overland Limited last Monday.
"First. I wanted to thank you
personally fur your unwavering
kindness to me.
"Secondly, I wanted your advice
as to the best method of procedure
with those who broke" faith at Chi
cago. "I wish to explain to vour people
jut what they did. and t. bold them
up to deserved public obloquy and
scorn.
"I am going to do this in every
state where flic like crime was com
mitted, so that people may be pro
tected in the future when they ex
press their choice for president.
"Saw Nebraska Slipping."
'To be frank with you, after the
first information which came to me,
I never doubted what the Nebraska
delegation would do. but I knew vou
were exerting yourself to the utmost
to prevent the betrayal, and I did
not wish, therefore, to disturb you
IM.I.UiV.
"Let's make it imnossible, by
branding these scoundrels, to have
a recurrence of such treachery.
"Please write me and tell me how
best I can aid. At any rate, send
me such detailed information as vou
ti ink I may need, so I can write
for eneral publication a letter
brandm;;- the traitors.
"HIRAM V. JOHNSON."

Sheep Market Slumps
As Demand for Wool
And Pelts Is Small
No demand for wool and the
clothing trade dull with money
scarce is the reason given by sev
eral live stock commission men at
the Omaha stock yards for the
slump in the sheep market the past
few days.
"The recent decline in sheep and
lambs may be attributed to the very
sluggish demand for pelts at lower
prices and the fact that live mutton
had become so high that its meat
product was selling out of line with
beef and pork," Oakley C. Willis,
general manager of the local Ar
mour plant, said Wednesday.
Continuing, Mr. Willis said the
trade was due for a downward re
vision of values and that he doubted
that the importation of mutton from
New Zealand was responsible for
the drop in prices.
'"Sheep pelts are not wanted at
this time and as much of our reve
nue on sheep comes from the wool
pulleries it is no more than natural
that sheep and lamb prices should
fall. About a month ago the local
plant of Armour & Co. sold over
15,000 wooled pelts at $4.25 and
$4.35 and these same pelts today are
hard to move at $3 and less.
"Recently we billed a fw pelts to
our own woolery at Katv.as City'
and they were credited to us at $3,
but this figure must be considered
an extreme outside price orf the
open market. Sheared pelts taken (
from shorn lambs are worth only
