delegates-at-large may withdraw ana

ing big Four" may be substituted.
Senator John W. Weeks and ex-senator
Winthrop Murray Crane might with

Omaha, March 11.-To stampede the
Nebraska primary by carrying on a
vigorous campaign for the nomination
Of Justice Hughes, Of the Supreme
Court, is planned by Victor Rosewa-

rnitteeman Of Nebraska and associated
Republicans Of the old line.
Rosewater, who is owner OF The
Omaha Bee" is trying TO induce Ne
braska Republican newspapers to urge
the writing Of Justice Hughes's name
on the ballot by thousands Of voters
In 10 date seventy-four Republican
newspapers have enrolled in the move
ment. and as many more express
themselves as more than lukewarm for
Hughes. Swinging Of these papers INTO
line for Hughes just before the pri-
maries is the task Rosewater and
his allies have set out to do.
The Nebraska plan, it is asserted, ~

be worked throughout the country, II

initial move, cause the popular up

rule than allow the oligarchy which
now exists in the. Republican party TO

worth. He said that he had heard tina.
some of the biggest business men Of
this country, and they were not only
big but honest business men, had con-
tributed 10 a 100000 fund which
was TO be spent for the education of
the country in economic efficiency.
There was string, however, which he
said was tied 10 this fund. The string
was that il was 20 be available only in
the event Of the Republicans and Pro-
gressives getting together for the cleo
ton OF Theodore Roosevelt os Presi-

The convention was attended by del
cgates representing every Congress

presided over by J. A. II. Hopkins. OF
