REESE CLUB IS PROSPEROUS
Efforts of the HOlcomb Crowd to
Break Up the University Organ
ization Utterly Fail.

LINCOLN, Oct. 12.-(Special THE at
tempts Of the populist state central commit
tee and the friends OF Holcomb to break
up the University Reese club, a nonpartisan
organization comprised of students of all
colleges of the State university, have not
only resulted unsuccessfuly, but have en-
couraged the young men of the institution
in their work in behalf of the republican
nomiuee for supreme judge. This club held
its first meeting in the law college room
in the main university building tonight,
and from point of attendance it was a most
successful affair. The membership of the
organization is restricted to regularly reg
istered students, the only requirement being
allegiance to Dean Reese in his candidacy
for supreme Judge. At the meeting this
evening speeches were delivered by Roscoe
Pound, T. F. A. Williams, E. l.. Brown,
c. E. Pinkerton and several others, repre-
senting both the student body and alumni
Of the institution.
The University Reese club is the result
Of spontaneous and voluntary action on the
part Of the students, those of the law college
being the most active in its organization.
The chagriu of the Holcomb men at the
success of the organization was shown last
week on the night of the election OF officers
for the Reese club. At the instance OF the
populist central committee the officers OF
the University Bimetallic club called he
few Holcomb students together half an hour
before the Reese club meeting, formed an
independent organization and adjourned
without selecting a name for themselves.
Several of the enthusiastic young Holcomb
men then ran at full speed to the populi5t
headquarters a few blocks away and told
how the Reese men were outwitted. The
next day the local popocratc organ told
how mass meeting Of students had been
called for the purpose of organizing a Reese
club and how under this call the Holcomb
men formed an organization Of their own
by outnumberng the Reese men. Several Of
the young men who participated in this

The fusion county ticket is receiving very
| little atte0tion in and around Lincoln. The
success of the entire republican ticket il
| conceded, even by soCne OF the fusion nom-
| inees, and consequently there is no active
| opposition from the fusionists The only
| fight is on the county judgeship. There
| have been numerous Withdrawals from the
| fusion ticket since the conventions, but a
| full ticket has finally been agreed upon by
committees representing the three popocratic
| parties. Two conventions indorsed II. c.
| Reddick of Bethany and the other William
| Highberger OF this city, for county clerk.
Highberger has been forced off the ticket
and Reddick is now the nominee.

NEW YORK Oct. 13.-Sandy Hook at
a. M reports thick fog and no wind. The
weather bureau predicts light wind for to-
day. The prospect of race today is not
good.
NEW YORK, Oct. PA blanket OF fog
over the course and the utter absence OF
wind caused the fifth successive tizzle when
another attempt was made today to sail the
first of the Columbia Shamrock series for
the international trophy. The yachts will
try again tomorrow.
The repeated failures have had most
discouraging effect on the general public
and there was a great falling off in the num-
ber Of excursion boats, as well as in the
passengers, when the fleet gathered around
Sandy Hooks lightship today.
The heavy fog made navigation not only
dangerous but exceedingly difficult. The
ships that did brave the fog merely crawled
out, with double looks and continuous fog
whistle. II was impossible to see fifty feet
ahead and it was an uncanny spectacle to
have big ghostike hull loom up ahead.
Down in the lower bay the fog was not
quite so thick and about 10 o'clock light
land breeze from the west gave faint hope
that it would send the fog to sea and fur
nish racing conditions later on. So the
for the starting line. They set their sails
and drifted about rocking in the gentle
ground swell. But the haze did not lift
and the breeze died away altogether. When
the time came to signal tho course, Tie
weathervane at the masthead of the COM
mittee boat lay limp and listless. The COM
mittee boat hoisted the letter "R' on the
triatc stay, meaning: Race is off,"
The sails were lowered and the tenders
took the two yachts back to the Horseshoe,
while the excursionists again sailed dis
consolately homeward.
Mr.. Iselins interview in this morning S
papers protesting against the savage crit
icism OF the Columbia, which has been lib
orally INDUCED in by some of the news
papers, and appealing for support for the
Yankee boat and its crew until the series
is completed evidently touched a patriotic
chord for on the way back every excursion
steamer in the fleet sailed alongside and
saluted while the passengers gave the
white beauty three rousing cheers and a
tiger.
The repeated flukes off Sandy Hook have
led to some agitation for n course at New
port, where there is usually breeze, or to
Marblehead, off the Massachusetts, coast
where no difficulty would be experienced in
getting plenty of wind but 1t is hardly
likely that any change will be made. The
regatta committee argues that this sort OF
weather cannot last at this time OF the

to medium sized audience composed
mostly OF women and children. Mrs. Cougar
was billed to speak in the afternoon to

upon Imperialism and lambasted the ad-
