Politicians Are Satisfied.
While there is general satisfaction
throughout the state house over the work
of the state committee last night. there
Is especial rejoicing in some quarters Of
the city-the hotel quarters. One Lincoln
paper last night said It would cost Lin
coin thousands OF dollars to lose the con-
vention, and this had a very depressing
effect on one hotel man who operates
the hosiery in which the headquarters
lie located. His rejoicing this morning is
unbounded.
In the matter of the date of the con-
vention. the endorsement OF a candidate
for the senate TO be in the call and the
accommodation regarding the instruc-
ton Of delegates on the matter of the
railway commission amendment to the
constitution seems to have met with the
general approval of all the Lancaster pol
iticians.
Some OF the one-time so-called machine
men down here wanted the endorsement
OF q senatorial candidate left out OF the
call. now that Lancaster has no candi-
date for that place, but they expressed
themselves as being well satisfied with
the call as adopted, and whatever griev-
ance they may have will come out at the
state convention.
Naturally most of the state officers
wanted the convention held in Lincoln,
because they live here and will not have
to be away from home at convention time.
The date also seems to satisfy all the
candidates here. though state officers had
previously said they would be satisfied with
whatever the committee did.
The Official call may not be issued for
some time yet. as there is no great hurry
for this TO be put out All OF the commit
tee members left town during the early
hours OF the day or just as quick as they
could get trains back home. Paddy Miles
was here this morning and was about
the last TO leave, getting out IN time tc
avoid getting mixed up in the meeting OF
Pollards congressional committee tonight
In the meantime there has been no new
candidates sprung for the senate or fol
governor during the last twenty-four
hours by the Lancaster statesmen.
After the Automobile Men.
Secretary Of State Galusha is in receipt
OF information that the county attorneys
of Douglas and Lancaster counties are per.
hitting owners of automobiles to SNORT
around over the streets OF Omaha and
Lincoln which have not been registered
enacted by the last legislature. In Lincoln
