Father and Son Opposing Cam
didates for Legislature.
Hubbards Seeking Nominations
i'm Seward County
GLENN is IN THE RACE
Greeley Senator Wants to Be
Lieutenant Governor.
Issues a Statement Telling
Where He Stands.

A most complex political situation eX-
lists in Seward county over the cleo
ton of a representative to the next leg
islature 7. G. Hubbard is a candl-
date for the Democratic nominatio"
for the legislature and his son, T. w.
Hubbard, is a candidate for the Re
publican nomination. This situation
sets at naught the saying, like father
like SON. The father is a Missouri
Democrat and sings the Champ Clark
houn' dog song. The son is progress
sive Republican. AS neither candi-
date has opposition so far for the pri-
mary it is certain that they will OPP
pose each other in the campaign for
election.

MAY LAST TWO MONTHS
Four Jurors Have Been Passed in the
Darrow Case.

Los Angeles, May 16.-With IL
men in the jury box, four of whom
have been passed and are subject only
to peremptory challenge, the trial of
counsel for the Mcnamara brothers in
the Los Angeles Times dynamiting
case. under indictment for attempted
bribery of George n. Lockwood, a
Mcnamara talesman, made rapid prog
ress today. Some of the attorneys
declared today that the taking of tes-
timony would be begun by the end of
this week.
To one of the questions asked by
counsel for the defense the prosecu-
ton vigorously objected. The ques
ton was would you convict on evil
dence given by former associate,
self-confessed briber. who wanted to
send a substitute to the penitentiary %
The question related to the probable
appearance as witness of Bert H.
Franklin, a former investigator for the
Mcnamara brothers. who was engaged
summoned in the dynamiting case.
Franklin pleaded guilty to a charge of
having bribed juror and was fined
$4,000.
Judge Hutton took the objection I'M
der advisement and announced he
probably would render a decision to-
day.
The proceedings today indicated
that progress in selecting the bill
would be slower than on the first day.
The prosecution re-examined a num-
Der of the Jurors Professionally passed
yesterday as to their willingness to
convict on circumstantial evidence.
Alfred d. Bryant, who was chal-
lenged by the state yesterday, was ex-
amined briefly by Judge Hutton, who
announced that he would rule on the
challenge this afternoon. Before the
case was taken up the Indictment
against barrow charging bribery of
Juror Robert F. Balm was called and
was set over by stipulation on the end
of the case now on trial. Estimate
made in court today by opposing coun-
sci were that the trial would last any
where from three weeks to two
months, the former being the estimate
of Attorney Rogers for the defense.

The father and son are the best Of

the feat many times in the past. The

SHIP ROUTES IN NORTHERN WATERS.

The dream OF establishing trade routes IN lar
northern waters has been cherished by navigators
Tor centuries, and has been the incentive OF many
VOYAGES that are land marks in the history OF eN-
ploration.
The partial realization OF this dream now seems
to be at hand The long-talked OF Hudson bay
Railway. to connect with steamship line via Ilud-
son Bav. Hudson Strait and the Atlantic to the Old
World appears to be at least assured If the hopes
Of its promoters are realized it will afford brief
two months in the year an outlet for the vast re-
sources OF western Canada above all, improved Ia
ces for moving the Canadian wheat crop to
European markets.
An analogous project on the other side OF the
Atlantic contemplates the establishment OF regular
steamship service between England and Siberia by
way of the Kara Sea and the estuaries and the
Yenisei and the Obi rivers. This plan proposed by
an Englishman Captain Webster, has been APP
proved by Russian government commission
Steamers will from English ports to harbor
on the southwest coast OF Novaya Zemlia There
the cargoes will be transferred to smaller vessels
specially built for ice navigation and thus carried to
the Siberian rivers. AS i'll the case OF the Canada
project it is expected that navigation will be limited
to two months i'll the year, which will afford time
Tor three round-trp voyages. The cargoes will in
clude grain, lumber, graphite, mica and other
minerals.
Finally, the Russian government IS making
every effort establish regular route to north
eastern Siberia by way OF Behring Strait. During
the summer OF 1911 Rear Admiral TraJan, acting
under instructions from the Imperial Ministry OF
Industry and Commerce took the steamer kolyma
from Nladivostok to Mini kolymsk, at the mouth
OF the Koyma river where quantity OF freight was
landed after which the vessel returned to Nladivo-
stok the whole journey occupying two months. \
little later in the season this feat duplicated
by an American sailing vessel equipped with an
auxiliary motor In this case the journey was made
from MISUNDERSTANDING American
