PREDICTS DEMOCRATS DEFEAT

Nebraska Governorship.

Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 4.-In a state
ment explaining his withdrawal as a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor William r.. Patrick
scores Governor S~hallenberger and
predicts the defeat OF the democratic
ticket by 10000. He says: Il have
withdrawn from the gubernatorial race
because 1 can aid the cause of county
option more out of the ace than ]
could by remaining In. 1t was inn
possible before the primary to awaken
the voters to a realization of the fact
that the railroad-brewery combine is
again behind the candidacy of Shallen-
berger.
81 can not escape the conviction that
by its cowardly attitude toward county
option, as expressed in the Grand Is
land platform, the democratic party
prepared for a splendid and certain
defeat in the coming contest. In my
judgment the candidate who stands
squarely upon a county option platform
will defeat my %cowardly straggler by
at least 10000 majority"

was given an ovation which lasted sev-
eral minutes when he attached his sig
nature. One Democrat, Elenwood Of
