PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Feb Judge a.
\. Sullivan think the interests OF the
state and OF the republican party are ad-
versely affected by the deadlock. The re-
publican legislature ought to settle this In
caucus at the earliest possible moment
Hon. S. NJ. Chapman-Our representatives
werO sent up" to attend to that matter So
long as the failure 10 elect does not inter-
fere with healthy legislation no harm
In hghting 1t out. II deadlock Is necessary
TO give the state frst-cla men to repre-
sent us at Washington see no impropriety
in making haste slowly"
Hon. X. b. Wndham-The interests Of tn .
state demand that the deadlock at Lincoln
be broken. 1t Is folly for members, as
many are doing, to be casting their votes
for men who have no following. The votes
should be concentrated upon those men who
are the logical candidates. and two Of them
nominated. Some personal preferences will
have to be sacrificed, and that soon II the
interests OF the state are TO be considered.
Important legislation is demanded. which
will be neglected II the senatorial deadlock
continues. In my judgment Omaha should
have one OF the new senator's: she is the
great commercial center OF the state and a
prominent mark among the cities OF the
nation. Mr.. Rosewater may be Objectionable,
TO a large political element in the state. bu
no one doubts his equipment for this ex
allied position or his courage to do wha
he believes would be for the best interests
of the state. Judge Crounse and Mr.. Meikle
john are both men who have been oftei
tried. and either would please the people.
Is always safer to take man who has
record than to pick up someone and lift hr
from the bottom to the topmost round o
the ladder and take chances OF being dsap
pointed.

Il. c. Kerr-I think the time has con,
for the republican members OF the legislo
