REPORTED BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.
Herington Proud Of Dickinson's Next
REPRESENTATIVE.

Special TO the Reflector
HFRINGroS, Aug. g. When the
train bearing the delegations from the
Republican convention that nomin-
ated our fellow townsman, X. j. Ben
nett, for representative arrived at the
depot on Saturday evening there was
quite a crowd on the platform to re-
ceive them and congratulations and
hand shaking seemed to indicate that
the participants were pleased at the
result. The round house and several
locomotive whistles began all at once
to open up and the crowds Of people
came running down the streets look
ing for fire. They all seemed pleased
when they learned the cause Of the
disturbance for "Dick" Is popular
among all classes in the community
and the convention could not have
nominated a man who is held in high
er esteem by those who are personally
acquainted with him. A more sur
prised man than Mr.. Bennett, when
he was informed Of his nomination,
could not have been found In the
county as be was looking for nothing
OF the kind.

No Extortion Reported.

The sensational reports in the Kan
sas City Journal and Topeka Capital
that Abilene residents are robbing
delegates by high prices for rooms
are entirely unfounded. The Re-
FLEcroR interviewed large number
Of delegates this morning and found
no one that is paying more than 1925
a day for room and board. Most Of
them pay 81 which 1t seems is little
enough for anybody. The people of
Abilene have opened their homes to
the visitors and are caring for them
well and no misrepresentation should
be INDUCED in.

DRAG IN THE UNIVERSITY.
Douglass County Delegation Did MOI
Bolt.


The outside papers have made much
Of the alleged bolt Of the Douglass
delegation from Harris to Lewelling'
One paper says;
1t seems that Ed Martindale who
has been making fight on the man.
agement Of the State University, went
to Harris to pledge himself In advance
Of both nomination and election to
the removal Of the present faculty
and teachers at the institution. This
Harris refused to do. H. s. Clark,
one Of the members Of the board re.
gents residing in Lawrence, suggested
to MI. Harris that In the event the
Populists are successful at the CON-
Ing election the janitors and employees
Of that character now at the Univers-
ity, who work with Republicans in
campaigns, should be removed and
some Of the local Populists given a
show at the jobs. Harris declined 10
consider either proposition. Not
withstandlng the fact that the Doug.
lass county convention practically In
structed for Harris, the five Of the
seven delegates are shouting for Lew
elling's nomination. Harris declna-
ton to become entangled in any ante
election pledges for office hunters
caused the disatfection Of that dele
CATION.
As matter of fact the delegation
gave five votes to Harris and two to
Lewelling all the way through to the
last ballot.

CROWDS DID NOT COME.
Many Spectators Are Short on Their
Income

The crowds from Dickinson and
surrounding counties expected to be
with us today were not here. There
are not to exceed 1000 to 1900 peo-
pie including delegates in the city
and preparations had been made for
1000 or more. There are a score Of
spectators in lemonade stands and
those who have fitted up store rooms
with cots who have lost money be-
cause the expected crowds were not
on hand. 1t will be remembered that
the REFLECTOR cautioned against this
kind Of extravaganza but it seemed to
do little good. 1t is always thus
expectations run too high.
