The senator would be pleased to hear from
YOU Yours truly, J. b. HAYNES,
Secretary.
The action of Wayne instructing its dele
CATION for Mr. Rosewater indicated that
the plan to retain Willard through unin-
structed delegations did not find much favor
there.
Two Hot Fights for Congress.
Good, stin fights are on the boards in two
congressional districts. the First and the
third. In the first it is a straightaway be-
tween Judge lessen and Congressman Pol
lard. Pollard already has instructed dele
cations from Cass and Lancaster counties,
and needs only some support from one ad-
ditional county to give him the necessary
majority. On the other hand, the appor-
tionment has been made so that IL the fve
outside counties unite they can control, and
lessen Is extremely popular in these coun-
ties while Pollard has suffered a severe
setback by the exposure Of his unearned
salary grab. The first OF these five coun-
ties to have its convention will be Nemaha.
II Pollard wins, 1t will be all over but the
shouting, but If Jessens friends are on top
the lessen boom will get big start. Pol
lard hitched up with the Brown boosters in
Lancaster and is working the Brown end
OF II through the district, which also serves
TO complicate things considerably.
In the Third district, Congressman Nc
Carthy is encountering opposition in the
form of the candidacy of Judge j. F. Boyd
of Neigh and former state Senator w. w.
Young Of Stanton. Boyd has already cap
tured instructed delegations from Antelope,
Madison and Wayne, while Boone and
Cedar. the other two counties whose dele
cations have been named. are uninstructed.
The contest between Mccarthy and Boyd is
acute in several places especially In Dodge
county, where Ross Hammond is champion
ing Mccarthy and L. D. Richards and C. E.
Abbott opposing him. Should Mccarthy
lose in Dodge county 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 a compro-
mise candidate. 1t may take the congress
sional convention, which meets in Fremont
August Is, to settle the question.
The last of the congressional conventions
was called for the Sixth district, whose
committee met last week and set IL for
Kearney, August q. The convention is TO
be called 20 order at O'Clock in the morn
Ing so as to enable delegates who want to
do so to give Congressman Kinkaid another
certificate OF nomination and catch the
| trains in time TO reach the state convention
