KENNEDY SENTIMENT GROWING

O'NEILL Neb., March 21.-(Spe-
cial Telegram There is in this
normally democratic town of 5000
inhabitants, a sensible revolt against
the administration Of President Will
son. Four years ago Mr.. Wilson
was given a handsome majority. He
will not receive that majority again.
nor any large part of It. Those who
voted for Wilson say this The war
sympathy here is divided and many
democrats are displeased with the
administration. II is not a vague
displeasure, but definite and stub
born.
THE presidents policies have been
colorless," said one man. a Presbyterian
minister. There are many Germans here
and there are many who sympathize with
the entente allies. You will hear the
question discussed wherever two men
meet or a crowd gathers The milk-and-
water attitude of the government toward
the allied powers has antagonized the
German vote: the voters whose sympa-
thies are with the allies feel just as
strongly that the president displayed
lamentable lack OF backbone in his nego-
tiations with Germany"
Senator Hitchcock. it is said, IL In
about tho same boat He made a strons
play for the so-called German vote-and
over-played his hand Those who have
kept their sympathies neutral will vote
against him and many of them heretofore
voted for him. In this connection re
publican, who, for good reasons, cannot
be named. said:
What L hear leads me to the belief
that Senator Hitchcock will find he has
suffered a loss in popularity that will cost
him dear at the polls. We concede he
will be renominated. but he will not be
reelected"
Referring to the republican candidate
for the senatorial nomination, he said;
81 am an Aldrich man. I've been for
him right along. but Kennedy will carry
this town and will run even with Aldrich
in the country"
Republicans here who are supporting
John l.. Kennedy are keeping pretty well
posted on conditions throughout the
state They say sentiment in favor OF
the nomination of Kennedy Is growing
steadily and they believe he is the logical
man to oppose Senator Hitchcock.
None of the republican candidates fol

apparent lead here at this time. keit'
