LINCOLN, Aug. 1s.-(SpeciaL)-At a
meeting of friends Of George e. Tobey,
candidate for congress in tn eF'irst dis
trict, at University Plao last night, II
was decided to flood the district with
copies Of scurrilous literature against
Will Hayward. Tobeys competitor for the
republican nomination.
In the bunch of literature to be sent
out. and which is being sent out now. Is
the letter written by T. f. A Williams.
the DR.. r. Arthur Carr OF the present
campaign. Tom wimberly of University
Piece, the Elmer 1homas OF the present
campaign, was chosen chairman of the
Tobey club, which was organised and
which will also solicit votes for G. II.
Aldrich for governor
In the letter written for publication by
williams. was include a statement with
the purported signature of Theodore
watering, to the effect that he held as
trustee stock in a Nebraska city brew
cry for Hayward. This statement was
denounced by Webering as absolutely
false. He said over his own signature
that he had never signed such state
ment and had never as trustee held any
stock in any brewery for Will Hayward.
While this statement was being pub
lished, Tom wimberly, was assisting in
the false statement over the district.
The signed letter of VIII Hayward pub
lished this morning was the sensation of
the present campaign and It created an up
roar around here. The fact that enemies of
Will Hayward would use a document
against him which the alleged signer abso-
lutely repudiated, has caused the severe
denunciation of those having the matter in
charge and a corresponding increase OF SEN
timent for Hayward. T. F. A. Williams,
who gave publicity to the story that Hay
ward owned stock In a brewery, has been
very highly respected person in some
quarters of the city, but unless he can sat
isfactortly explain away misunderstanding
predicament he is In he will remain in the
estimation of many people on a par with
DR.. z. Arthur Carr and Elmer z. Thomas
who acted as the tools OF the friends OF
Governor Shallenberger during the last
campaign. l nthat campaign Elmer
Thomas sent out false statements regard
ing Governor Sheldon a few days before
the election at a time to tate for them to
be corrected successfully. DR.. e. Arthur
Carr wrote letters derogatory to the repub-
lican candidates on letterheads of the Civic
League of Lincoln, his own name being
printed thereon as secretary. a position
from which he had been removed or forced
to resign.
The names of T. F. A. Williams and DR..
z. Arthur Carr and Tom wimberly and
Elmer e. Thomas are being used in the
same sentence by men Of Lincoln today for
the dirty work of DR.. Carr and Elmer e.
Thomas in the campaign of 1908 is being
duplicated by Williams and Wimberly in
1910. For his dirty work DR.. Carr got
Job under the governor
In his letter this morning Hayward
quoted Harrison as saying that he put
Tobey In the race and could withdraw him
at any time. Harrison not only, did this but
he wrote Tobey's platform and forced
Tobey to get on 1t.
