From a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN. Sept u.-,special Mutual
friends OF shallenberEer and Bryan are said
to have made the attempts during the last
week to get the Alma mans endorsement
behind Bryan's candidacy for delegate 70
the democratic national convention. Shall
lenberger's supporters are said 20 have adj
vised the former state executive that such
a move would be good II Bryan in turn
would endorse the ex-governor for the
United States senate. All Of these machi-
nations are looked upon with more or less
suspicion by the ShaIlenberEer faction OF
the democratic party and they are inclined
TO fight free Of all appearances OF evil
-Iy many Of the most enthusiastic shall
lenberger supporters the candidacy OF W
II Thompson Of Grand Island is regarded
with little seriousness BY certain wings Of
the party. however, IL is believed that the
Little Giant is going TO be a formidable
opponent for the place and they predict
that the race for the senate will be unusu-
ally close and interesting. Opponents OF
the Grand Island man assert that due TO
the fact that the war hatchet between Mr.
Bryan and Mr. Thompson has not been out
for so long that the mind Of man runneth
not to the contrary, there Is little prob
ability that Mr.. Bryan would endorse Shall
lengerber's candidacy when matters between
him and the Fairview statesman had been
SO acute since the county option feature
Of political activity was so energeucauy
taken up by the great commoner.
