RaiIroad Campaign pefeated.

Looking back over the campaign the
growth of sentiment favoring conven-
tfon nomination. is plainly seen. 1t is
notorious that the railroads started out on
the one proposition OF preventing any nomi-
nation of senator and undertook TO bring
this about by preventing instructions with
the idea that the whole thing could be
handled through the uninstructed delega-
tions. They not only fell down in several
places on this program. but as soon as their
hand was clearly seen the friends OF
convention nomination began a move In
counter faction by resolutions adopted in the
different counties approving the action Of
the state committee In inserting the sena-
torship in the call and instructing their
delegates TO uphold the, call In the state
convention even though not instructed to
vote for any particular candidate for
senator.
During the last week these resolutions
came thick and fast in all parts OF the
state The railroad politicians evidently
cluns tenaciously to their no nomination
idea to the. very end, and some OF them
still cling to It, but the chances are that
they will suffer a rude awakening II they
ever try TO precipitate the matter for a
vote on the floor.
