The splendid majority for VIII Hayward
In the First district and the good vote
that he received in Lancaster county. the
home of George Tobey, his competitor. has
been generally discussed today and It is
looked upon as a decisive victory for de-
cency against corruption and mud singing,
as well as an endorsement Of the national
administration.
This last conclusion is due to the work OF
the Opponents OF Hayward, who insisted
that he had been sent to Lancaster county
to run for congress as a vindication of the
administration. Hayward had the support
of the business men OF Lincoln, who, in
their own automobiles went out and
hustled for him. while they came out pub
lcly and endorsed him in the press Of
this city
The large vote given Mayor Dahlman
here is accounted for in several different
ways, in addition to IL being an endorse
ment by the people of Lincoln Of the things
for which he stands. Shallenberger tried
to secure votes through his lieutenants cir
culating literature to the effect that a vote
for Dahlman was vote against Lincoln.
One very heavy taxpayer was approached
with this argument and his reply was
Il don't care II Dahlman has already put
a man on the dome Of the capitol picking
out the bricks, intend to cote for him in
this primary"
Another factor that contributed to the
Dahlman vote was Felix Newton. When
Newton was discharged from the Lincoln
asylum, where he was employed as book
keeper, because he filed charges against
Superintendent tWoodard, he announced
that he would get the scalp of the gov
ernor. So Newton, like Cinclnnatus Of old,
IaFt hi ,,if In he I'm homestead
in Wyoming and journeyed to the great
capital of Nebraska and got busy. In his
home precinct with Bob Malone working
against him, Newton piled up 10l votes for
Dahlman, and Shallenberger got only
twenty-three. But that was not all
this Autraged little Russian did He
went~out to the asylum and the PEN
itentiary. his old stamping ground. and
he permitted shallenbeTger to get only
sixteen majority in the precinct. There
are forty-nine voters residing there who
are appointees of the governor, who only
received thirty-five votes.
Will Hayward cut into the vote that
would have gone for Dahlman, democrats
here are saying They say the change Of
sentiment for Hayward cost Dahlman sew
eral hundred. Some democrats, who were
aroused at the dirty fight on Hayward,
line UP for him where before they had
been for Dahlman.
There are others who say Dahlman s
vote was a protest registered against the
policy of the city administration and the
bunch of people who have blackwashed
neighborfng towns and taken it upon them
selves to dictate the policy of the state
generally.
With practically the entire vote OF thS
city reported Shalletiberger has sl4 and
Dahiman 1.I72, lead for the Omaha mar
OF SIS votes. shallenberger has reduced this
gain somewhat in the country receiving L
few more votes than his competitor there
In a total of forty-two precincts already
Picard from in Lancaster county the tota
vote on democrat fer governor is LOSS To-
Shailenberger and 1,549 for Dahlman, Leaf
for Dahiman of Asa. Thus Shalenberge
has gained almost hundred votes in tn
= country precincts.
In seventeen city precincts the Vot

In thirty eight precincts, country and city
the vote is: Aldrich 1,76s; Cady. 1856; Low
