LINCOLN, July 3.-(Special)-August l
has been set for the hearing on the protest
filed by Victor Rosewater against the
democratic candidates for elector filing also
as members OF the popullst party. The
hearing will be before Secretary of state
Junkin at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Tom Allen, chairman of the democratic
state committee, who fixed up the scheme
to turn the populists over to the demo-
cratic nominee, expects to beat out the
protests by holding his action is in line
with a decision Of the supreme court. This
decision was filed last year when objec-
ton was made to democratic candidates
for state offices filing also as populist can
didates. The decision upheld the action
Of the democrats. That decision, however
had to do only with candidates for state
officers. The present case, It is commended
Is Of a different nature entirely. The popu-
list delegates to the st. Louis convention
who had been selected by a convention
manipulated by democrats, withdrew from
that convention when 1t nominated Watson
for president. This, It is contended, de-
prived Ia delegation Of the use OF the name
peoples independent party.
The filing Of the protest caused consider
able talk around the state house today and
the practically unanimous opinion is that
Tom Allen Is simply trying 70 beat the
regular populists out Of their right 20 vote
for the nominee of the national populist
convention. 1t is expected that whoever
loses out in the preliminary fight before
Secretary Of State Junkin will take the case
into the courts.
LINCOLN, July 25.-(SpeciaI)-Th demo-
cratic leaders have been successful in
holding off candidates for state offices.
So far only one man has filed for each
OF the state officers, save governor, sec
rotary of state and state auditor. Mayor
Jim announced that he had filed for gov
crnor, but late today his papers had not
reached the office Of the secretary of
state, and that is where they have to be
fled. Nc democrat has yet filed for audi
tor, and secretary of state, and these are
probably held to offer as a sop to the
populists. n. c. Abbott, who filed as a
candidate for superintendent, has not yet
secured his po2ulist petition and neither
has f.. o. Garrett, who said he would file
a petition later. The other democratic
candidates have filed also as populists.
