tFrom staff CorespondcntD
LINCOLN. March Sl.-CSpccial)-Tha
there is decided and growing sentiment
favorable to the nomination Of Charles
T.. Hughes Of New York for president on
the republican ticket is evidenced by re-
ports from people coming to Lincoln from
different parts OF the state.
That the disappointment over his with
drawal as a candidate before the primar-
les in this state has worn off and this has
only had the effect OF arousing his friends
to insistence, Is also apparent.
People IN Lincoln and out in the state
who heard him when he visited Nebraska
few years ago, cannot easily get away
from the belief inspired at that time that
Hughes was presidential timber and a
man close to the people. Consequently
they have faith that IL positive de-
mand is made for Judge Hughes he will
not refuse to accept a nomination.
People out in the state seem deter
mined to vote for him anyhow and It is
probable that that little old lead pencil
will be much i'm evidence when Mr.. Voter
goes to the booth on April IS. next.
A great many people are convinced that
when the national republican convention
meets 1t will not waste much time on pre-
liminary skirmishes and that when It is
seen that none OF the favorite son candi-
dates stands any show that there will
be a rush for the Hughes band wagon
and his nomination will be so unanimous
that he cannot refuse TO serve.
Going on this proposition It is evident
there will be much writing in OF the name
OF Hughes on the presidential ballot. and
he is likely to carry the preference vote
of the state. At least this is the conclu-
sion OF the men who come to the capital
from different portions Of Nebraska.

NEW METHOD OF SHARING
STATE SCHOOL FUND CASH
(FrOm a staff correspondent.l J


LINCOLN, March 31.-(Special) State
Treasurer George Hall will advocate
change in the methods of sending out
school appointments from that which
has been practiced for many years.
At the present time the apportionment
is made semi-annually. Mr.. Hall believes
that the apportionment should be made
whenever there Is 100000 for distribution
in the school fund. AS the amount runs
from 100000 to $4,000 each year this
will make from seven to eight distribu-
tions of the fund and will save many OF
the poorer districts from being compelled
to issue warrants and pay interest on
hem because of lack of funds.
Mr.. Hall is of the opinion that this
,an be done without very much extra
work because in the distribution of the
100000 it will be known each time the
exact amount to go to each district, as
year.
It is made on the school census each

ELBERFELD'S LATEST
 MOVE TO CAN DALEY

Chattanooga, April 13.-(Special.) )-kid Elberfeld reserved a final bomb for the final blow of the training season, tying a can today to Jud Daley, veteran out fielder, after which the Lookout manager announced himself ready to enter the season.
 The release of Daley at the present time came as a complete surprise. It is un- derstood to have been due to disciplinary reasons. Elberfeld gave the veteran the option of accepting a salary reduction to bring the club within the limit or be- ing made free agent; instead of tempor- izing, Daley talked too much" around town and the manager acted quickly.
 Elberfed will start the season at short stop with young Smykal in reserve. The releases of this week have left the club with only one man above the limit, a pitcher being due to go May 15. The opening lineup against Nashville tomor- row according to present indications and dependent on the arrival of Ham Hyatt in time to play, will be: O. Nicholson, center field; Pitler, second base; Fiber field, shortstop; Hyatt, right field; Har- ris, first base; Kitchens, catcher; Graf, third base; F. Nicholson, left field; Allen, pitcher. Other members of the squad are Powers, catcher, and Knapp, Martina, Herbert and karr, pitchers.
