NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS.
Convention Also WrestEes With Coun-
~ Option Question.

Lincoln, July $3.50 far as the pub
lie is aware. there was no change in the
situatian this morning as regards the
republican state convention. Many
delegates came in during the night and
held conferences at all hours, but no
one had any announcements to make
as to results.
Congressman Norris arrived early
this morning. He had been quaran-
tined on account of scarlet fever in
his family and had to climb out Of a
second story window and submit to
fumigation by the health authorities
before he could come at all. He de-
clined to talk politics until he had con-
ferred with other leaders.
Talk in the lohbies this morning
strongly indicated a fight on perma-
nent cha airmanship on the floor of the
convention. Anti-county option lead
ers declared that in many instances
the instructions for county option by
county conventions were irregularly
adopted and would be repudiated by
the delegates on this ground and based
their hopes of winning permanent con-
troll of the convention. with Senator
Brown in the chair. The supporters
Of Congressman Norris declared their
liitSll "iAl nave d 6pol 1lIe1JoAi IVY oN Gal
If some of the delegates do renounce
their instructions, as more than enough
delegates personally favor their idea
and their candidate.
Brown Makes Tame Speech.
In assuming the temporary chair
manship Of the Nebraska republican
state convention Senator Norris Brown
spoke only along general political lines.
He reviewed the record OF the DEM
ocrats In what he termed failure to
fulfill party pledges. They promised
free lumb ber, postal savings banks, free
coal. and free iron ore, but voted
against all these in congress. On the
other hand he said the republicans
have kept faith with the people, es-
pecially in the revision of the tariff.
They also gave the people postal saw
ings banks and in other ways redeemed
the platform pledges.
Brown Faction Wins.
Senator Mrown was elected perma-
nent chairman of the republican con-
yontiOn.
