Result Is a Disruption Of the Party.
Ainsworth, Neb, Sept. Especial to
The News: There Is some little dis
satisfaction here over the way the
west end didn't play fair with their
votes. 1t was generally conceded that
one candidate should come from the
east and one from the west end. But
the west enders tried to hog the whole
business and succeeded as well as
their numerical strength would permit.
There are even those who say that a
nomination is not always an election,
and that that lesson should be taught
to the greedy west enders.
