Democrats Are Hopeful.
W. II. Thompson Of Grand Island, lead
ing democrat Of the state, thus expresses
himself on the coming campaign:
The democrats will go into the campaign
with splendid organization and they have
a good chance to elect a state ticket and
members Of the next legislature. l do not
know whether the convention will endorse
a candidate for the United States senate
or not. That is a matter of politics and II
will depend upon conditions at that time"
II has been generally talked that Mr..
Thompson would be a candidate before the
convention for the senatorial endorsement.
but the Grand Island man does not discuss
this for publication. 1t is understood
though. that w. J. Bryan would not ac-
cept the endorsement Of the convention. and
neither would he accept the office were It
rendered to him by the legislature.
Chairman Allen of the democratic state
committee says
I'VE will have our meeting in Lincoln
during the first part of March and at that
| meeting we will perfect an organization
capable OF winning a victory in the coming
election. II is my impression that we will
| endorse a candidate for the senate, though,
of course, cannot speak for the conven-
| ton. We have not set the date OF the meet
ing because we are trying to get some out
side speakers, and we will fix the time to
suit them. We expect to have Governor
Folk of Missouri with us that day"
