9TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Call For Congressional Convention For
Sixth Nebraska District.

A republican congressional con
vention for the Sixth Congress
sional District of Nebraska will
be held in the City of Crawford
Neb., on Thursday, June II,
1902, at 100 o'clock p. M, for the
purpose of nominating a candi-
date for congress to be voted for
at the election to be held for said
purpose on November 4, 1902, and
the transaction of such other
business as may properly come
before said convention. The
several counties comprising said
district are entitled to send to
said convention one delegate at
large and one for each 100 votes
or major fraction thereof cast
therein for Hon. M. P. Kinkaid
for congress at the 1900 election,
as follows:

ed to the mountains from these
localities while all others prob
ably 10000 persisted.

The question as to who will be
the nominee for congress on the
republican ticket in the sixth
district has from present indica-
tions settled down to one of two
aspirants. They are F. M.
Currie and M. P. Kinkaid. A
close canvas of the situation puts
Kinkaid slightly in the lead with
not to exceed 90 votes of 207 or
Al short of the number necessary
to nominate. Senator Currie
may have from 2 to 7 less or 54
to 81 votes on the start. The
other votes will be divided be-
tween Judge Grimes, Frank
Beeman and A. E. Cady. Grimes
will lead the trio with 80 to 40
votes, Beeman second with prob
ably 80 and Cady with IS to 20.
The talked of combination of the
u. p. and Elk Horn rail roads
may be attempted, but we ques-
ton whether the leaders will be
able to deliver the goods. Sen
ator Currie has loyal friends in
several of the counties where the
U. P. and Elk Horn roads are ex-
pected to unite against what
they term the B. & M. Besides
both Judge Grimes and Judge
Kinkaid will have delegates, be-
cause of their Judicial associa-
tions that resided in the BE- M.
territory that will not be parties
to earring out any such rail road
combination against Senator
Currie. This being the case the
probabilities are that neither
Kinkaid nor Grimes will be able
to increase their strength, while
Senator Currie ought to be able
to draw from the strength OF
both. At best an interesting
convention will be held at Craw.
ford and should a dead lock-
ensue dark horse may prove
the winner.
