We soon learned that Postum does not

Thompson and shallenberger have friends
on the delegation. Fusion was. effected
without any scramble or contention. There
were no fights for nominations and each
party was willing to concede to the other
anything they wanted. The difficulty Of

candidates, but to find candidates who
would make the race. The following ticket

LINCOLN. Aug. 12.-Cspecial.) -while
some of the Lincoln democrats think there
will be big fight in the democratic state
convention next Wednesday over the nomi-
nation of a governor. others, who are
watching the trend Of things. believe George
w. Beree will land the nomination on the
fret ballot with little or no friction. The
overwhelming sentiment for him in the
Lancaster county convention held yester-
day was a complete surprise to those demo-
Gratis who have been running things and
who thought because Berge was a popuist
he was merely a passing fad. admit this
morning that Berge is a candidate to be
reckoned with.
The fact that the Hitchcock end of the
democratic party in Omaha is In control
OF the delegation and the delegation Is
partly composed of democrats who nave
fought Bryan in the past no doubt strength
ened Berge here yesterday and many who
were lukowarm at first are now red hot
for him.
The democrats here and those who, have
visited Lincoln recently want to hand
Jolt to Hitchcock and they don't seem to
care just how the jolt will come. One
democrat said:
Hitchcock is tied up with Shallenberger
and thinks such combination will land
him In the United States senate. 1t won't
not by whole lot. Hitchcock Will be
fought by the democrats to the bitter end.
He used to overawe the democrats with
his paper. but that time has passed. Too
many democrats have found him out and
too many Of us realize we can get along
just as well without the World-Herald as
with IT, He has double-crossed every candi-
date who ever expected help from him and
now the time. has come to sit down upon
him, and we will do IT.

brought to a successful close will be the
greatest surprise ever given Hitchcock, but
just at this time It cannot be made public
