Lincoln. Neb June 1I.-Repubcans Of the
state are gathering thickIy for the convention
tomorrow. at which a full State ticket will be
selected. On every hand are expressions OF the
certainty that the convention will have a ma
+ionaI significance though the real inspiration
for these expressions is not apparent 1t Is
fact that two names. one of which has not mere
tofore been mentioned for so high position, are
frequently spoken of. These names are Marcus
A. Hanna, for President; Senator Charles n
Dietrich of Nebraska, for Fice-Presiden'.
Coupled with these names is a we'll authentlcat-
ed ranort that an attempt will be made in the
coming convention to deal a blow at president
Roosevelt. This will be accomplished, If the
rreeAnt nIans are carried out. by the presenta-
tion and adoption of resolutions commencing
tho actions of Senators Dietrich and Millard in
stnading bv the beet sugar interests In the
struggle over the Cuban tariff. not yet ended
in Congress.
NiIlard and Dietrich are foremost among the
so-called insurgents" who are preventing the
carving out of the reciprocity plans, and their
position especially in view Of the close rrleno-
shin existing between Dietrich and Hanna
would be a slap at Roosevelt or no uncertain
character.
of course the friends of Roosevelt are up IN
arms against such proposition, but the sup
to-nipht that such a resolution will be pro
nosed in behalf Of the two Nebraska Senators
