When the commodore died, III Philadel-
phia, August s. 1850. he was buried in

Contest in Nebraska.

In Nebraska the fight is between former
Gov. a. 4. Shallenberger. democrat, and
Representative George w. Norris, who
won the republican nomination over Sen
ator Brown. Mr.. Norris is accused of try
ing to straddle, CHASING himself as pro-
gressive republican, yet claiming the reg
u<ar nomination while espousing the cause
of Roosevelt. Senator Hitchcock, demo-
crat won by 10000 majority two years
ago under the Oregon system, and there

as a real progressive, is in unfortunate

which means that, for the first time in
history, Iowa may possibly elect demo-
cratic legislature, which will in turn
choose former Representative Daniel

Stubs Facing Defeat.
In Kansas Judge William II. Thomp-
son, democrat, is scheduled to defeat
Gov. Stubbs. the third termer and one Of
the seven wise or otherwise governors
who urged Col. Roosevelt to become a
candidate. Gov. Stubbs won the repubii-
can nomination over Senator Curtis on a
fuke. Mir. Curtis had the popular ma
jority, but failed to carry as many iegis-
lative districts as did his opponent, hence
Stubbs Was declared the nominee.
The regulars are intensely bitter against
him and many are openly lighting for

other to ill the vacancy caused by the

been named in about 40 per cent of the
districts, and democratic experts figure
