LINCOLN, Jan. 15.-(Specal)-Th self
STYLED progressive insurgents Of Lincoln
ere liable to lose the meeting after all and
have 1t go down in history under the title
of demo-pop convention. The democrats
OF Lincoln are boosting the meeting just
as frantically in order to drum up a crowd
as are Frank Harrison and Paul Clark.
T. j. Doyle and others are advertising
the insurgent movement for all that's out,
and It will be no fault Of the democratic
leaders II that meeting is not about equally
divided between Bryan sympathizers and
would-be republican officeholders.
In the evening papers here yesterday
Mr. F1ansburg, who failed to land the
Job of federal judge, the place having been
given to Judge Munger, gave out for pub
lication some letters which he had re-
ceived, showing how the state had gone
clear wild over the efforts Of his crowd
TO save the country.
one of these letters was from DR.. Hal
lett Of McCool junction. The doctor was
very much interested and wrote a letter
of encouragement to the bunch, insisting
that the meeting would be the very thing
to save the government. The letter, of
course, was given out to the public under
the gulse Of having been written by re-
publican.
DR.. HaIIett for Bryan.
Those who know DR.. Hallett are not sur
prised that he endorsed the meeting. DR.
Hallett has been for Bryan for president
80 long that his oldest friends do not re-
call when he was for anyone else. In fact
the written documents show that awhile
back he predicted that a certain republican
would yet be boosting for Bryan"
Another letter from Mr.. Barton Of Uni
Versity Place, whooping up the meetinl
and urging all the people to insurge, was
also given publicity. Mr. Barton is an old
time populist He formerly lived at Cur
tbs. and from out there comes the informa
ton that Mr.. Barton can be counted on tC
insurge any old time the movement /!
against the republican party.
There are persons here who believe tina
some republicans have really written t
the committee in charge of the meeting
but SO far they have not been given pub
licity.
The manager of the affair has now salt
It is possible that the meeting will no
endorse any candidate for the senate ol
the republican ticket but will take 1t ou
in just insurging. Whether this wa
brought about by a split as to whethe
TO endorse a democrat or a republican
the management includes as many person
who voted for Bryan for president as
does those who voted against him.
War Ahead of Book Men.
Many of those attending the meeting O
the county superintendents and schoo
principals went home with their feeling
pretty well rlffled over the way the as
ISOLATION is being managed and promis
4 of n rebellion in camp was freely made
principal Cline, in his toast at the ar
atual banquet, deprecated the acts of til
teacher who, holds his job by a resort I
politics or political tactics.
Another complaint over the banquet wa
the fact that 1t was managed entirely b
representatives of a book company an
the teachers had little to do with IT, tt
banquet developed that the book men wei
OF more, Importance around the meetin
than the educators. 30
The upshot of the dissatisfaction will
a big fight, so some of the teachers sal
at the meeting of the State Teachers a
ISOLATION. The fight will be against Il
book men and the. ring which now col
trolls that association.
The superintendents and principals electC
the following officers: Fred NJ Hunt
of Norfolk president; e. X. Hurst OF Fal
City, vice president; w. II. Clemmons
Fremont, secretary and A. H. Staley
Superior, treasurer.
