USE NAME WITHOUT AUTHORITY
M~ercerites In sixth ward Attempt to
Float Delegation Under
Pratt COIoFs.

In the Sixth ward there is to be a pc
culiar contest over the congressional ticket
Nelson C.. Pratt, it is conceded, has the
ward solid, but the Mercer forces are en-
deavoring to parade under the name Of
Pratt to secure a delegation which, while
ostensibly for the Sixth ward candidate, is
really for Mercer. Mr.. Pratt filed his
delegation Monday. Sunday John Long,
MERGERS colored messenger at Washington,
was circulating a petition among the voters
Of the ward for signatures. saying that It
was the Pratt delegation Mr.. Pratt had
nothing to do with the selection Of that
delegation and was rather indignant when
he heard his name was being used in con-
nection with it, as he has personally Sc
lected his own delegation.
Yesterday MI. Pratt said that he would
soon issue a circular to the voters Of the
Sixth ward announcing that the only delega-
tion in which he Is interested is the one
headed by A. s.. Atkinson, and that II the
other delegation should by any accident be
successful at the polls he would abso-
lutely refuse to let his name go before the
congressional convention.

WEST POINT, Neb., Sept. 16,-(special)
The funeral OF Ludwig Rosenthal, the
late cashier Of the Nebraska State bank,
who expired at his desk in the bank on
Saturday without a moments warning, took
place today under tho auspices Of the Ma
sons, OF whose lodge here the deceased
was worshipful master. The ceremonies
were elaborate and very impressive, all
classes of citizens alike doing honor to the
deceased. The floral offerings were very
abundant. A large number Of Masons from
adjoining towns were present at the OBJ
sequies and every mark of respect known
to the ritual OF the order was extended.
The body was inferred in the public GEM
etery, at the side OF his father, who died
some years ago. The funeral was one Of
the most impressive and largely at
tended of any in this county for many
years. His wide acquaintance and sterling
character, together with the tragic manner
Of his death, invested the ceremony with
more than usual interest. The deceased
leaves an aged widowed mother and two
sisters, Mrs. H.. d. Calland Of Deadwood.
s. D., and Mrs. r. F. Kloke, the wife OF
the president OF The bank, in which the de-
ceased was cashier.

QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES
League is Putting Nominees on
Record on Initiative and
Referendum.

The Allied Referendum league, a political
society composed of a number Of Omaha
voters, the majority Of whom are associated
with the populist and socialist parties, has
issued a circular which is being sent TO all
candidates for state ONCE on all tickets,
asking them to define their position on
the subject OF the initiative and referendum
system OF ~law-making. Three questions are
asked: Are you in favor Of majority rule?
VIII you, II elected, use the power and
influence OF your ONCE to execute the will
OF your constituency in procuring direct
legislation through the initiative and
referendum with the imperative mandate?
II elected as a member OF a legislative
body, state or municipal, will you endeavor
to have adopted and incorporated into the
rules Of procedure that when the will OF
the majority OF your constituency Is SO as
certained 1t will be carried into effect?
These questions have been propounded to
the nominees on the state tickets OF the
republican and democratic parties. Replies
have been received only from the democratic
candidates for governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, auditor Of public accounts and super
intendent Of education. In each case the
reply has been in the Affirmative to all
of the questions. The secretary Of the

HARD PRESSED FOR DELEGATES
Mercer People Put Two Names on
sixth ward Tickets without
Authority.

With the filing Of the delegations Of the
Sixth ward the psucity OF the Mercer ele-
ment was made plain in at least two in
stances. When the list was printed Joseph
Christensen saw for the first time that he
was a candidate for delegate to the county
convention and that he was on the Mercer
delegation. AS soon as he could, Mr..
Christensen wrote notices to the secretary
Of the county central committee requesting
him to lake the name from the list, saying
that it was placed thereon without his
knowledge or consent. At the same time
he sent a notice to the chairman OF the
printing committee Of the county central
committee, notifying him Of the way in
which his name came to be used and asking
that II be stricken from the list Of dele
gates as 1t will be printed.
DR.. w. H. Christie heads the Mercer
delegation in tine Sixth ward. He signed
the petition for the delegation selected by
N. c. Pratt and told the Sixth ward can
didate that his name was placed upon
the Mercer delegation without his knowl-
edge. He has not, however. withdrawn
from that delegation at this time.
As the Mercer delegation originally APP
peared, IL contained the name Of Gu Hollo
a member of the Machinists's union. When
he found that the Mercer contingent had
taken liberties with him Hollo went tc
them and demanded that his name be re-
moved from the delegation This was done
and another name substituted. Hollo Later
went on tn Pratt delegation.

Absolutely no objection to this arose.
Next came another resolution by Mr.. Potter,
providing for the use of white ballots, uni
form in size and shane, in the country pre-
cincts where printed ballots were used.
This was altered to a recommendation, in
view Of the fact that the county commit
tee had decided not to furnish any printed
ballots to country precincts itself, and as
such was adopted. 1t was said collaterally
that the candidates In those precincts often
got up different colored ballots, so there
