democrats VINO controlled the Lancaster

heard OF the opposite action taken by the
Douglas county democrats IN convention
are not inclined 10 grow angry over the
violent denunciaton accorded the Com
moner BY the trio. Horrigan. Fleharty and
Moriarity. who had the writing Of the
resolutions in hand at that affair.
Lancaster county democrats, the most Of
whom are Bryan democrats. smile and
take the matter philosophically. They say
that the charge by DahlmRn and his
cohorts that he boited the state ticket and
the state platform Is hardly brought out
by the facts IN the case. AS a matter Of
record no 0ne-with the possible exception
OF the Omaha mayor hinself-thought but
Shallenberger would receive the demo-
cratic nomination at the August primaries.
The Grand Island convention was DOM
mated entirely by Shallenbsrger men and
the platform was written IN entirety a. he

platform, and that he would allow no man
or set OF men 20 say on what platform he
would mako the race. local democrats say,
had the effect OF putting every one who
did not agree with him directly On the
other side OF the fence.
Though DahIman's method Of dealing
with the county option issue as proposed
by H B. Fieharty at the Grand Island
state convention was turned out. II is

did not leave the convention. but waited
