MAYOR DAHLMAN OF OMAHA
NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR
Governor Shallenberger, Bryan's Cam
didate, Loses Out in Hard Contest
Was County Option Man-Re-
pubIicans Nominate Aldrich for
Governor and Cady for Senator
Democrats Endorse Hitchcock
ShaIlenberger Still Has Hopes.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug 17.-Mayor
Dalhman of Omaha, defeated Cover
nor Shallenberger for the democratic
gubernatorial nomination yesterday at
the primaries, according to partial re-
turns today. The republicans nomi-
mated Aldrich for governor over Cady
and Senator Burkett was endorsed
over Wheldon by republicans and
Hitchcock over Metcalf by democrats.
Shallenberger still hopes that the ru-
raj districts will overcome Dalh-
mans cities majorities.
Dalhman was distinctly an anti
Bryan candidate and it is believed
many democrats voted for him as a
protest against Bryan's injection of
the county option question into demo-
cratic state politics. Burkett received
only a small plurality in the rural dis
tricts. William Hayward, secretary
| of the republican national committee
was nominated for congress in the
fifth district by an overwhelming ma
| jority.

tail and 1t was found that Judge
Hartman and the members of the COM
mittee are in entire accord upon all
points.
Though full plans for the campaign
have not by any means been worked
out by Judge Hartman 1t is his inten-
ton to carry on general campaign
of publicity against Orchard county
and all other new county schemes. An
effort will be made to show that the
Milton division scheme Is absolutely
unjust not only in Umatilla county
but to most OF the people who would
be forced into the new county IN the
event of the success Of the initiative
measure. 1t Is believed that this fact
can be impressed upon the people with
such force that they will vote the
measure down.
Already substantial campaign
fund has been raised by the local
committee and further money will be
secured.
