Omaha Bee: In the Third district
Congressman Mccarthy is encounter.
ing opposition in the form of the can
didacy of Judge j. F. Boyd of Neigh
and former State Senator w. w
Young of Stanton. Boyd has already
captured instructed delegations from
Antelope, Madison and Wayne, while
Boone and Cedar, the other two coun-
ties whose delegations have been
named, are uninstructed. The contest
between Mccarthy and Boyd is acute
in several places, especially in Dodge
county, where Ross Hammond is
championing Mccarthy and l.. D. Rich
ards and c. e. Abbott opposing him.
Should Mccarthy lose in Dodge coun-
ty he could hardly hope to win his
denomination, although even a victory
there would not make it certain.
Young's hope is to come in as COM
promise candidate. 1t may take the
congressional convention, which meets
in Fremont August 16, to settle the
question.
