The friends of Senator Burkett in this city
have been especially active since the So
called progressive" movement started in
Lincoln. A membership roll for a Burkett
club has been prepared and is being circu-
lated. The paper is being signed almost
unanimously by republicans here, who seem
to be United as they have never been be-
fore. Up to this time but three republicans
have withheld their names, and they have
expressed no hostility to Nebraska's senior
senator.
