LINCOLN, Jan. T7.-(Special. lit has
about been decided that admission to the
progressive insurgent meeting next Thurs
day will be by ticket. No man without the
brand OF insurgency will be permitted to
enter the theater. No man who is not
absolutely heart and soul in the Frank
Harrison-Paul Clark-John c.. Fremont Nc
Kesson insurrection will be permitted to
attend the function.
To prevent any others from getting within
the gates twenty special men will be
stationed at the doors with orders to per
nit only real. genuine stand pat progress
sive' republicans, the term including of
course those who voted for Bryan for
president, to enter.
Further to guard against any discordant
note being sounded, special invitations will
be sent to those whose presence is desired.
Only 500 of these invitations have been
sent out and the other 125, 500 republican
voters in the state are expected to stay
away and listen for orders.
1t was Paul Clark, that grand old Bur
I linEton insurgent, who suggested that steps
should be taken to keep out any not in
sympathy with the movement and 1t was
the same Reformer Paul Clark who sug-
gested that the chairman Of the meeting,
Reformer Flansburg, who failed to secure
the lob of mite States district judge,
should take his time in selecting the
twenty guardsmen.

The insurgents have no authority to
use nv name as a member of any COM
mlttee and 1 would like to so state through
the columns of The Bee,' said Attorney

on invitations. hTe circular contained the
two resolutions adopted at the meeting In

: said:
: when Mr. Flansburg names me as a
: member of a committee I instructed him
: then and there not to put me on a com.
, mittee, that I would not serve in any such
r capacity. He then appointed some one else
a in my place.
when I went to the meeting in the
I office Of Mr.. Flansburg 1t was upon the
3 invitation of Judge W. H. England and
3 Frank Harrison. who told ms that a mum.
s Der of progressive republicans were COINS
. to hold a meeting to discuss the future Of
' the party in Nebraska. I had no idea
s that the meeting would develop into any
thing more than simply a discussion of tn,
party principles.
As to ~SenatOrship

that @. o. Whedon be endorsed for UniteC
States senator, and I objected to thai whe1
