Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-07-15

United states senator. was severely de-
nounced by a group Of democrats AZ the
LindeIl hotel last night and those who
most vigorously expressed their opposition
TO him were two Omaha democrats who do
things. Said one OF these Omaha demo-
Gratis:
Hitchcock may get the nomination for
congress in Omaha, but he viii never be
elected will do everything l can for
him and vote for him and at the same
time l viii bet $500 he is not elected.
He is the most cold blooded double
crosser I ever saw in politics. He refused
to support Dshlman for mayor until he
was forced into Il and then he did him
as much harm as good Now he is Jealous
OF Dahlman because he is afraid Dahlman
may want TO be governor or senator.
He double-crossed w. II. Thompson.
too, when the latter was the democratic
minute the democrats Of this state will
stand for him for senator he Is badly
fooled.
I'VE have investigated few of the pre-
cinct votes cast in the election OF dele
gates 70 the state convention and we have
found where Hitchcock and his followers
knitted Dahlman. You can put II down In
black and white not a one OF those fell
lows will have anything to say about the
legislative ticket. Wait until the official
democratic vote is published and you can
see where Mr.. Hitchcock ran way behind
Mayor Dahlman. though the world-Herald
published that they got practically the
same vote"
The other Omaha democrats voiced the
sentiment that out in the state Hitchcock
was the most unpopular alleged democrat
In Nebraska.
No Hearing on Price Protest.
Insurance Deputy Pierce has refused to
grant a hearing TO w. b. Price, who filed
a protest against the Columbia Accident In
surance company doing business in Ne
braska. In a letter written to Mr.. Price
today Mr.. Pierce said he had been in
formed by the attorney general that II is
not within the province of this department
to revoke the charter Of any company and
that It is a matter for the courts. Such
being the case I do not see what action
can be taken by the auditor on this COM
plant and protest"

Nicholson Wants More Time.
Governor Mickey received a letter this
morning from Assistant Physician Nichol-
son Of the Norfolk asylum asking for more
time in which to consider the governors
orders for him TO get out OF the institution.
In his letter DR.. Nicholson suggests that
the governor could appoint him to another
position in some other state institution and
then he would be willing to resign and stop
any legal proceedings. The governor gave
out the impression that such a suggestion
would not be acted upon. but that Dr..
Nicholson would have to get out anyway
as soon as the matters could be brought
to the attention of the courts.
