CONVENTIONS OF
ALL PARTIES ON
Tuesday Day When They Will
Assemble in Lincoln to Act
on Various Matters.
DRY PLANK LIKELY UP

(From a Staf Correspondent.)
Lincoln, July 23-(Special. 1.-The
coming Suesday is convention day
by law, when all political parties OF
Nebraska meet to select new state
committees and issue their platform.
The republicans and progressives
are to assemble in Lincoln. The
democrats in Hastings.
Adoption or rejection of plank en-
.dorsing prohibition will probably
come up in the conventions Of the
old parties and be the cause of much
eloquence. As the proposition is one
on which the people will vote this
fall and all admit the intent of the
referendum law is for all matters re-
ferred to the people to be voted upon
on their own merits, it appears to be
the general opinion that the two con-
ventions should pass up any endorse
ment and let the proposition go be-
fore the people on its merits.
Primary Law Up.
Another subject bound to come up
is the amendment of the primary law.
Two years ago the republican con-
vention adopted plank favorable to
amendpent by the legislature, but
after the resolutions had gone through
some one raised the question that it
owuld invite defeat to the party if it
endorsed anything of the kind and
after red hot debate the plank was
killed. ex-governor Aldrich was one
of the leaders in the fight to kill the
pank, but this year he is openly for
revision of the primary.
1t is not thought here that the
democrats will take any action at
Hastings on the primary. They rec
ognize the fact that they are in the
hole and hope that if the republican
party takes positive stand, by keep
ing quiet they may get little pres
tige just because they took no stand
in the matter However, it is a we'll
known fact that most of the leading
democrats are opposed to the present
primary.
The selection of state chairman
for both the old parties is also on the
program. The democrats have Bit
ter fight in prospect, there being two
avowed candidates, Secretary Spraguc
of the committee and L. F. Lang
horst of Elmwood.
Should Be Rewarded.
Though only secretary of the state
committee, Mr.. Sprague really con-
Quoted the campaign two years ago
which resulted in that party landing
more democrats in the state house
than it had ever done before and
many democrats feel that he should
be rewarded. However, the Lancas-
ter convention yesterday endorsed
Langhorst, and that puts the matter
in a mixed light as it was supposed
that Sprague was very strong in the
capitol city
While several arementionedf for the
Craftsmanship of the republican state
committee, it is likely Chairman Nc
Nish can have the place again if he
wants it. McNish has had lots of
experience, having been a member of
the state committee for many years
and is we'll acquainted with conditions.
The selection however, will depend
somewhat on how the candidates feel
about it and if there is no other pref
erence on their parts, Mr.. McNish
will probably have charge of the cam
paign this fall.

STATE HOUSE IS
FALLING DOWN
Report of Assistant State En-
gineer Says Building Is Now
in Dangerous Condition.
SURVEY OF EAST WING
(From a STAFF Correspondent

(From a STAFF correspondent.)
Lincoln, July 23.-(Special. Lon
don bridge is falling down." and so
is the Nebraska state house, accord
ing to a report filed by Assistant En-
gineer w. D. J. Steckleberg, who
during the past few days has been
making an extensive survey of the
east wing of the state house on orders
of the state board, in order to ascer-
tain if the wing was settling.
Mr.. Steckleberg discovered in his
survey made that the old building is
still settling, having gone down three
quarters of an inch since the last re-
port was made, making a total of
seven and three-quarter inches that
the southeast corner has gone down
since it was built. The south wall
at the corner bulges out seven and
one-half inches and the east wall at
the same corner leans out one and
eleven sixteenths inches.
The statement of Mr.. Steckleberg
gives some ancient history in con-
nection with the building. The re-
port declares the building is in a
dangerous condition and that it is be-
coming more so with the passing of
time.
