LINCOLN, Sept. 29-(Special 1.-THE county
campaign will open here October g. at
which time Senator Beveridge will speak at
- Oliver theater. The county committee,
hich has the meeting in charge. is adver-
Using extensively and II ls expected the
oliver will be ired. Immediately after this
meeting local candidates viii take the stump
and every schoolhouse I'm the county will
have at least one meeting. Captain p. j.
Cosgrove. at present police Judge. will de-
liver twenty speeches in the county before
the election. Judge Cosgrove IL recognized
as one Of the best speakers in the state and
will draw a big crowd wherever he talks.
He is TO be the big gun for the county com
nlittee. Two years ago two names were
submitted TO the national COMMITTEES from
Lincoln as available speakers for the ma
tional campaign. Judge Cosgrove was one
and II. II. Wilson the other.
The campaign in Lancaster this year Il
going to be hot one for the reason the
democrats are trying their best 10 land the
county attorney and one, and possibly two,
places on the legislative ticket. The dem
ocrats are laboring under the belief that
considerable scratching is going to be done
by the republicans over the trade In the
county convention. and just at this time the
prohibitionists are causing considerable un-
easiness to both parties. All the candidates.
or at least a number OF them. have been
called upon the carpet and asked to pledge
themselves to the county option bill. What
answers have been made no one on the out
side seems TO know Candidates interviewed
say they have made no pledges to the pro-
hibitionsts This party has quite an or
ganization in the county this year and is
daily receiving pledges from among Its
members that they will not vote for can
didate who is not pledged to vote for the
county option bill.
The democrats also are trying to stir UP
strife among the republicans and to this
end are pointing to the fact that the Even
ing News. the spokesman for the fake re-
formers. has had little or nothing to say In
favor of the Burlington machine candi-
dates for the legislature. They are trying
10 get the machine candidates TO bolt the
fake reform machines two candidates In re-
taIiation. Republicans, however say they
will be united and will, as usual, elect all
the officers.
OmciaIs Take I'm Carnival.
Auditor Searle and Secretary OF State
Galusha returned tonight from Omaha
where they looked at the carnival and saw
things. Both were greatly disappointed
that the high wind prevented the air ship
from taking it's daily fight and will go
again 20 the show before 1t is over.
''T'he carnival this year looks bigger than
IL ever did to me-" said Mr.. Searle. THE
streets were well filled and the people I saw
.-were not Omaha citizens, but were from
csIut In the state. II the weather keeps good
should think the attendance will be a
record breaker, as IL was at the state fair
I understand the shows on the carnival
grounds are the best ever. but owing to
the fact that the air ship did not made its
"trip ! did not go on the grounds"
Pierce Goes to Washington.
Insurance Deputy Pierce left today for
Washington, where he will attend the meet
ing of the insurance commissioners, at

Before leaving Mr.. Pierce said he was not
surprised that DIR. Spinney, head Of the
Bankers Union of the World, had left Ne
braska. Some time ago, II is said, Mr.
Pierce received information which was not
verified, that such a move was contem-
plated. The company was not granted a
