PROMISE TO MAKE IT GREAT SUCCESS
Necessary Buildings and Arrange
ments Could BE Provided at Cost
of Not More Than Thirty
Thousand Dollars.

Parties returned from the Chicago Live
Stock show say that the proposed shST
at Omaha met with the unqualified sup
port Of a large number of the members
and officers Of the Hereford and
Shorthorn Breeders associations. OF
all. the men in the work prob
ably one Of the most enthusiastic over
the proposed Omaha show is Thomas Nor
timer, manager of the Marshall Field in
terests in the Stanton breeding farm near
Stanton, Neb. Mr.. Mortimer is a men,
Der of the Board OF Directors in the Here
ford association. Speaking OF the shows
in general, he said that the interests OF
the breeders of thoroughbred stock is in the
north and west and that a larger proper
tion OF the active buyers OF fine stock
could be- reached at Omaha than at any
other point in the west, probably, as the
demand for these animals now comes from
Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming and Colo
RADIO, states which are practically tribu-
tary to this city.
Mr.. Mortimer said that the necessary
buildings and arrangements could be pro-
vided at an expenditure OF not to exceed
$50. 900 and that the resulting attendance
would be more than the expenditure Of a
similar amount in any other way could
bring 10 the city the NlblLOfs all DelnB
men who would spend much more money
than the average visitors 10 the city.
1t is said that the directors of the asso-
Citations at their meeting In Chicago Thurs
day evening appropriated the sun Of $4,000
each to be used as premiums during the
next year in extending the work in the
northwest. The regular premiums in the
various grades are offered directly by the
associations, the citizens taking no part
in subscribing these premiums. The local
promoters are expected to offer special
premiums. which usually bear the names OF
the donors. The date settled upon tenta-
lively for the Omaha show is just before
the Kansas City show. which is held in Oc-
tober. Members of the board of directors
familiar with the local conditions said that
Ak-Sar-Ben week would be the date prob
ably decided upon, as at that time no heat
would be necessary in the buildings.
Big Tent is Proposed.
These men also said that for judging the
animals a ring In a tent is better than one
In a frame or brick building, as the light
is more even and the conditions nearer
those OF the open air.
A large number OF the western breeders
were enthusiastic and Il was understood 10

OF the Omaha people a large number would

Judge Quarles' Views.

When asked by a representative OF the
Capital News as to his views on the nom.
ination of a candidate for the United
States senate by the Pocatello convention
in view of the fact that his home county, /,
1-emhi, had declared against II, Judge
Quarles said
"At the beginning Of the present year
IL Was my opinion that the party should
nominate . candidate tor the senate in
state convention, for the reason that the
election Of senators by direct vote Of the
people is a democratic tenet, and the
selection Of the candidate in convention
Is the nearest approach under the law as
il exists to such an election. hut, since
then, l have carefully investigated the
conditions, am firmly convinced that
such nomination would create SO much
disappointment. bitterness and soreness.
notwithstanding who might be nomi.
mated, that good politics, wisdom and ex.
pediency make it necessary, in the in
terests of the party success, to leave such
selection to the democratic Legislative
caucus. The principal argument in IA.
vor Of making such nomination in con.
vention is that il would prevent along
drawn out deadlock in the Legislature
which would absorb interest and obstruct
public business. There is much force in
this argument But the evil st,UUestetl
can be easily avoided by the action oi
the convention without making . con.
vertion nomination. IF the conve ntion
will pass a resolution directing all demo
cratic members Of the legislature to &c
into caucus and there select democratic
candidate for the senate, and that all
democratic members shall thereafter sup.
port the caucus nominee. there will be
no deadlock in the legislature. Even

escaped from the Jail at Leesburg Satur-
day night. He had been exercising in
the Jail yard, which is surrounded by a
high brick wall. He remained in the
yard when the prisoners were locked up
for the night Investigation shows that
the escape was not only premeditated
but that Leigh tried to get another
prisoner to go with him.
