tFrom starr CorrespondentD
LINCOLN. July H.-tspeciai.) THAT the
political pot is boiling furiously in Lam
caster is evidenced by the tact that sew
erai meetings have been held and will
be held In Lincoln before the state COM
mittee meets Monday morning.
Yesterday q request was sent to Chair
man J. L. Kennedy of the state repub-
hcan committee at Omaha to come TO
Lincoln to confer with Governor Aldrich.
Mr.. Kennedy arrived last night and was
In conference with the governor for
few hours. Those present were. besides
the governor and the chairman. A. B.
Allen. secretary of the state committee;
Judge Hainer, one Of the leaders Of the
regulars In the Lancaster convention
Tuesday. and ex-senator King Of Osceola,
q strong Roosevelt supporter. but who
believes In harmony.
None Of those in attendance at the meet
ing would give out anything for publ
cation, except to say that they were well
satisfied with the meeting and we're living
In hopes that 1t might result In har-
monious state convention.
The bull moose delegation from Lam
caster held meeting tonight at the Lin
dell hotel to equip themselves with the
necessary arms and ammunition neces-
sary to meet the opponents when the con-
ventien meets.
The committee Of three from the regu-
lar delegation from Lancaster. Judge
Hainer. Judge Holmes and Captain
Trimbel met this morning to line out q
program TO present before the state COM
mittee at Its meeting Monday morning.
II is said that the conference last night
was not prolific OF any agreement which
was satisfactory to those present. for the
reason that very few OF them thought
It would be agreed to by the convention.
I One proposition which met with favor
II 1t could be pulled through waS that
the convention endorse the whole repub-
lican ticket from the head down and that
the electors agree to cast their votes for
Taft II he needed them to win. or for
Roosevelt II he needed them to be elected.
A little later in the evening another
proposition was made that the conven-
ton endorse the whole ticket and that in
return for the Taft men supporting the
senatorial. congressional and state tickets
that he Roosevelt men on the electoral
ticket resign and that Taft men be placed
In their places.
Judge Holmes said this afternoon that
he was In favor of most any kind Of a
compromise which would give republicans
chance to vote for Taft. II the con-
vention would endorse the head Of the
ticket that was all the regular requbli-
cans wanted and II that was done there
would be no contest by the Taft republi-
cans In Lancaster county.
1--WE are not after the Offices" said the
Judge. "all we want is that the national
ticket be recognized SO that we can keep
up our organization as republicans
Judge Holmes was chairman of the
regular republican convention which was
