not in accord with the promises Of the

upon the Steel trust. He spoke cody and
without passion, not unlike his namesake,
Senator Harry Jackson of Beatrice. to
whom Mr.. Jackson said he was not re-

Mr.. Jackson insisted that the government
had got away from the people and was
now in the hands Of Speaker Cannon, and
the only way to get it back was to unhorse
the speaker.
In the face OF that remark, Mayor Love
announced to the audience that he had
been authorized to appoint a committee Of
twenty-five, four from eAch congressional
district and one at large. to keep up the
movement. No vote was taken on that
proposition and no man in the audience
was given an opportunity TO name that
committee from the floor as the insurgents
had done at Washington. The power was
all in the hands Of the chairman of the
meeting. The mayor announced that he
would make his selections later,

(From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Jan. 2~l.-(Special Telegram,)-
The attempt of a bunch Of politicians of
Lincoln to stampede the republican party
against President Taft and the national
republican administration was tried out at
the oliver theater last night, n the party
still stands pat.
The meeting will go down in history for
what it did not do rather han for what
it did do; for the number of speakers who
did not speak rather mar for the speakers
who did; for the number who did not at
tend rather than for the pumber who did
attend.
Though advertised for several weeks as
a state meeting, the number of republicans
who attended from outside of Lincoln could
have been counted on the fingers of two
hands n probably one. The oliver theatei
was secured by the self-styled insurgents
at a cost of $50. The lower floor of the
oliver seats 900 and there were more har
100 vacant seats. No seat was occupied II
the gallery or balcony. And in the CROWD
were such grand old republicans as Richard
l.. Metcalfe, George Rogers, John M
Devine, George w. Berge, Colonel Belzel
of Polk county and Charles Wooster, ant
such grand old reformers as John q. Ere
mont McKesson, Bud" Lindsey, Pau

FIRST AVIATION MEET ENDS
Final Feature is Race Between Cur

AMERICAN AN EASY WINNER
Hamilton Breaks Crank Shaft
During CrOss-COuntry Flight
IL of Prizes
Awarded.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.-As dusk gath
cred over the old Dominguez ranch last
night, four flying machines that had been
crlcling in the air sailed to earth, the
a~viators walke TO their tents, the great
crowd filed down the roadway and the
first aviation meet held in America was
over. ... .....
Few knew that one man had been near
death in those last few minutes Charles
X. Hamilton was returning from a fifteen
mile flight toward the ocean. While a
mile from the aviation field the crank shaft
of his machine snapped. No one in the
crowd noticed anything wrong. Hamilton
shut off his engine and so leveled and
swayed his planes that he was waited
gently down.. 1t was the best piece of
emergency handling OF a machine that has
been seen at the meet.
Race Rivals.
Curtiss and Paulhan-rivals. of the meet
furnished the excitement for the closing
day. Paulhah went up at 1925 o'clock for
an endurance flight. After he had gone
two or three laps OF the course, Curtiss
started on a ten-lap speed trial, half a lap,
OF more than th~ree-quarters OF a mile be-
hind Paulhan. Instantly It was seen tina
a great race was on-the first real race OF
the ten lays. The two aeroplanes, full
speed on. came over the grapdstand with
the speed of express trains. Currss, II
was plain, was gaining. He erept swiftly
on Paulhan's heels and on the third lar
after starting he reached P%aulhan, flyinl
above. The Frenchman for a few seconds
held his own. then Curtiss, in his American
machine, forged ahead half a length anC
finally a half a lap. 1t was no race afte
that. The American machine was demon
strated as the faster beyond question. A
Curtiss rushed over Paulhan he receives
the greatest applause that any of his ct
forts had gained. Paulhan went on unit
he had Travelled GA miles and had been Il

came down after a thirty-mile trip.
