From present events their converse

recalled old days at West Point when
Howard was an instructor and had

They had discussed the Industrial

as to the needs and opportunities Of

SENATOR ELMER J. BURKETT,

SENATOR ELMER J. BURKETT,
of Nebraska,
tor Dietrich, and, of course, Republi.
can nominees for the legislature were
pledged to carry out the action Of the
state convention.
Hot Contest With Bryan.
William Jennings Bryan was the uni
versally accepted candidate against
Burkett, supported by the Democrats.
Populists and Free-Silver Republicans.
The fight was thus narrowed down to
one between Mr.. Burkett and Mr..
Bryan for control of the legislature.
Which one would be senator was de-
pendent upon the political complexion
Of that body. The campaign, extend
ing over period of about five months,
was exceedingly yirile, and there was
plenty Of uncertainty to make it inter-
-esting, and at times almost bitter.
Mr.. Burkett, like his distinguished
opponent, is of even temperament,
slow to anger and plenteous in that
brand of good nature that never wears
OF; and so whatever may have dis
turbed others, 1t can be said that moth
ing harsh or bitter ever passed be-
tween them personally.
Roosevelt's great popularity made
the state surely Republican, SO far as
the electoral ticket was concerned, but
Nh. Bryan's popularity and his force
- q campaigner made the outcome as
to the complexion Of the legislature
one Of doubt and uncertainty. Then,
too, there were local conditions that
were not advantageous to the Republi-
cans.
These were the conditions confront
ing Mr.. Burkett when the campaign
Of 1904 opened. Mr.. Bryan, brilliant,
shrewd and resourceful as he Is, took
advantage Of every mistake Of the Re-
publicans, and he went into the cam
paign determined to elect a Demo
cratic legislature. He strove nightly;
he held meetings in almost every dis
trict; he completely covered the state
with a special train, and made from
I'VE to eight rear.platform speeches a
day, arousing as he always does, great
enthusiasm. But Mr.. Burkett was also
over the state. He made as many
speeches as did his opponent, and he is
q convincer. and he visited every por.
ton Of the Commonwealth.
Genius for Organization.
Probably one Of Burkett's chief at
tributes in his genius for organization.
Az q result Of the marshaling Of his
forces, q legislature was elected with
every one Of the thirty.three members

nine Fusionists out Of one hundred

laturs met and In Just six minutes
