For some reason the arrangements
for the candidates special are being
held up. 1t is not known now wheth-
er the special will be sent out at
all The Mankato letter has stirred
up considerable feeling among some
of the candidates who are anti-Taft
and not slow about stating their
preferences.
The problem now is how to han
die the special and dodge Taft and
vital issues. The Mankato letter
wants the state candidates to stand
by the Chicago platform, which
James Manahan, candidate for con-
gressman-at-large, has repudiated.
An enthusiastic meeting of the
Lincoln Republican club was held
last night at the Saulpaugh. The at
tendance was good and the discus
sions on the political questions of
the day were interesting. Hon. Alex
Hansen, one of the republican can
didates for the legislature on the re-
publican ticket, was present and adj
dressed the club briefly. Mr.. Han
sens candidacy was given the hearty
endorsement of the club.
A number of new members were
added to the organization.
The club is to have a speaker from
away deliver an address at one of
it's future meetings.
Several gentlemen who have been
touring the country of late stated
at the meeting last night that the
sentiment in favor of President Taft's
reelection is growing stronger and
stronger daily.
