BROKEN BOW, Neb., July 27.-(Special.)
Now that the populists have their nomina-
lions made in this district the republicans
are preparing for the most vigorous cam
paign that they have ever made. There are
strong hopes with the division in the popu-
list ranks and the dissatisfaction over the
nominations of representatives and senator
that if clean, capable men are nominated by
the republicans at least two members of the
state legislature out Of the three can be
elected. TIL representative convention is to
be held her next Saturday and the senatorial
convention of the Fifteenth district will be
held at Arcadia, Valley county. August II,
at 2 o'clock. The counties composing the
district are Blaine, Custer, Loup and Valley.
There will be an effort made to induce Prof.
f, NJ. Cussie to accept the nomination, who
is regarded as a sure winner over Beal.
