The legislative influence OF railroad and

has been singled out for defeat above all
other aspirants.
Men with high views Of the opportunities

make constitution in keeping with the

(From a STAFF Correspondent)
LINCOLN, June H.-(Special THE poll
ticians are expecting developments to be-
gin now IN the lineup for the republican
state convention. Word came from Cedar
county today that the convention there had
instructed for Edward Rosewater for SEN
ator, which. gives him the prestige Of hav-
ing the first instructed votes. Four other
counties--valley,, HAL, Adams, and Boone
have already chosen their delegates, but in
each case they were put. up for a favorite
son for one OF the state offices
The political program for this week in
icludes conventions Friday in Buffalo and
Sherman counties and a primary in York
county. Buffalo county liz the home of Nor
-ris Brown and is naturally expected to
give him big sendoff with an instructed
delegation. All Is not smooth sailing there,
however, according to reports, and there is
a possibility OF friction over the question
of allowing Brown to name his own dele
gates and shut out some ambitious states
men who are not personally beholden to
him. couple of years ago Frank Bee
man, leading Kearney republican, wanted
the Buffalo county delegation to promote
his candidacy for congress and a resolu-
ton was introduced to permit him TO name
the delegates, but this resolution was Wig
Brown himself. who denounced It as un-
republican and unprecedented, and insisted
that the county convention was fully able
to select the delegates itself. Should the
Brown people ask that their candidate be
permitted TO name the delegates this time

upon himself against the proposition, al
though no objection is likely TO be entered

OPEN SHOP LABOR
FOR STANFORD.
Board of Trustees Tells
Unions 1t Will Never
Question Its Employees
II EW PRESIDENT T

stanford University is TO be rebuilt
by men working on the open shop prin-
ciple The board of trustees decided
yesterday that it would not accede to
the demands of the striking workmen
that all of the employees be unionized.
The trustees declare that men will be
employed who can do the work and
that they will not be Disseminated
against because they do not belong to
organized labor. The board will never
question it's men, The board says that
the work on the buildings necessary for
carrying on the university classes wl4l
be finished by the opening day of the
fall semester.
This open shop attitude was taken
by the board of trustees in answer to
the demands of the striking unionists
that all the workmen about the uni
versity be unionized. The commission
of professors in charge of the rebuild
ing was instructed to go ahead with
the work and employ any union or nom
union workmen who could be found.
1t is probable that a number of stu
dents will be employed. even though it
was the presence of these non-union
students that caused the strike
Judge s. F. Leib retired as presf-
dent of the board of trustees after eight
years service at it's head. He was
unanimously reelected. but refused to
serve again because Of the pressure of
private business. Horace Davis was
elected in his stead, Timothy Hopkins
was chosen vice president, Charles G.
Lathrop treasurer and business man
ager of the university and George z.
Crothers secretary and assistant treas
urer.
The members of the board denied en-
phatically that the report of their en-
gineers showed that there had been
any dishonest construction in the uni
yersity buildings. They say that the
defects which were present were caused
by haste to get the buildings done on
time and by unprotected features added
to the original plans.

DEFENDS POSITION

The Board of Supervisors met yester-
day as board of equalization for the
purpose of examining property holders
with a view to assessing the insurance
received by them on property destroyed

number of firms and companies who
were insured in the dollar for dollar
companies Assessor Dodge was pres
ent 10 oppose any change in his assess
ment roll of sS750Oo00o.
n Liebes of H. Liebes & Co., which
was insured for $157,5Oo, was the first
to be examined
Dodge objected with some spirit to a
question Supervisor Wilson asked
Liebes as to whether the latter did not
think the assessment of $4,000 on his
stock was too low.
Il do not propose to be put in a
false position by the Supervisor" said
Assessor Dodge, nor do ! propose 10

was not aDpTl5Gu VI lttiS iilGSllHs. nor
did I know that the board Of equaliZa-
tion had met to pass resolution citing
these people to appear and show cause
why their assessments should not be
increased"
THE board is OF the opinion" said
Supervisor Gallagher, that the prop
erty that was assesSable on the first
Monday in March was not destroyed
until April 1S, and therefore should ap-
pear on the roll"
L want to say right here" said
Dodge, that | did not assess any in
surance on the advice of some eminent
attorneys If you assessed insurance
you would have to tax 10000 or more
people who had insurance on their lit
tie homes, many of whom have not re-
ceived any money yet"
We'll" replied Gallagher, I'VE want
to find out those that have received in
surance."
Dodge explained that the Assessor is
compelled to assess property which he
finds between the first Monday of
March and the first Monday in July.
Wilson held that If it were not for
the fire the city would have had an
assessment roll of $500, 900. 900. and the
city was being defrauded of it's just
taxes.
you are evidently taking the part
of Mr. Liebes," said Wilson to Dodge.
Il am taking the part of every tax
payer who is unjustly accused by this
board of having been assessed too
low" said Dodge. Il will admit that
there are plenty OF errors and omis-
sions in the roll. as the records were
destroyed. I think. though, this is the
time for leniency.
Dodge said he had followed the plan
of the fire adjusters by assessing such
buildings as the St Francis Hotel and
& E,vC1ancp a One-third of
the amount of last years assessments.
