FOUR NAMES FOR PRESIDENT
This Constitutes List from Which
Nebraska Voters Will Have
Chance to Draw.
NO MORE HAVE WITHDRAWN

iFrom staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Feb. ls-(Speciall-If no
other filings are made for the republican
nomination for the presidency under the
preferential primary there will be four
men from whom the voters can take their
choice.
The name Of Henry Ford still stands
as Mr.. Ford has made no effort to have
his name taken from the ballot At the
time his name was filed by Omaha par
ties Mr. Ford was out on the raging
waters in pursuit OF MT Bryan's dove Of
peace, and OF course had no chance TO
withdraw his name. Since he has re-
turned home he has not appeared to take
any interest in the matter. and so Il is
presumed that his name may appear on
the ballot unless some patriot reminds
him that his name will appear.
The other candidates are II. y. Esta-
brook OF New York, Senator Cummins Of
Iowa and Theodore Burton Of Ohio. II
is not probable that either Of these will
want his name withdrawn, and so Me-
braska republican voters will have a
chance TO make a choice
