Bryan Defeat Conceded.

LINCOLN, Nebr., August Is P).-
The defeat of Gov. Charles w. Bryan,
o giant in Nebraska politics since the
war, by Representative E. r. Burke,
53-year-old Omahan, for the Demo-
cratic nomination to the United
States Senate was conceded here to-
day.
Burke campaigned on a support
Roosevelt" platform, with the assist
ance of Arthur F. Mullen, former Ne
braska Democratic national commit
teeman and bitter political enemy of
Bryan. He apparently administered
the most crushing defeat the three
time State executive has ever suffered.
In the November general election
Burke will face an outSpoken op-
ponent of the new DEAL" former
Representative Robert G. Simmons,
who was an easy victor for the Re-
publican nomination on the basis
of returns from more than half the
precincts. Senator George w. Norris,
insurgent Republican, who cam
paigned for Roosevelt, may take the
stump against Simmons.
Dwight Griswold, Gordon newspa-
per publisher, again won the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination. In
1882 he squeezed out 5000 plurality
in the primary, but yesterday he ap-
parently polled more votes than his
four opponents combined.
State Engineer Roy Cochran ap-
peared to be the Democratic nominee
for Governor. He held a plurality of
5000 over the nearest of his eight
opponents, with nearly two-thirds of
the precincts reported. Eugene O'Sul-
livan, Omaha lawyer, and Representa-
tive Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluf
were his closest rivals.
Representative A. G. Shallenberger,
Alma Democrat and member of the
important House Ways and Means
Committee, apparently was defeated
for denomination by c. c. Binderup
of Minden, free silver advocate. Shall
lenberger is an administration sup
porter. Representative Edgar How
ard. Columbus Democrat, was in
creasing his lead over Orville A.
Chat of Tekamah.
j. B. Douglas of Tecumseh led
Henry Luckey of Lincoln by only 81
votes for the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the first district, with
1913 of BAL precincts in. Charles F.
Mclaughlin, Omaha lawyer, and
Harry Coffee, Chadron real estate and
cattle man, apparently had won
Democratic congressional nomina-
tions.
The Republican nominees appeared
to be Marcus L. Poteet of Lincoln,
lawyer, and first district nominee in
1882; District Judge Herbert Rhoades
of Omaha, Karl Stefan, Norfolk news
paper man and radio announcer;
j. w. Hammond, Holdrege publisher,
and A. N. Mathers, Gering banker and
former speaker of the State House of
Representatives.
Richard C. Hunter, Omaha lawyer,
and j. H. Kemp of Fullerton were
easy winners of the nominations for
the short term in the United States
Senate. The term will run only from
November to January and unless a
special session is called the winner
will not serve.

schooled by a score of years in the

away the Democratic and Republican
senatorial nominations, respectively
without great difficulty in Tuesdays
primary.
Donahey conducted against his two
opponents quiet campaign in which
he avowed his allegiance to the Presi-

Election experts estimated the total

on election quarrels broke out in
Gallia County, in Southern Ohio, re-
sulting in one death, and possibly
fatal injuries to another man.

Dale Thorp No Longer Democra-

County Office

Notice of his withdrawal from the
race for county treasurer was filed
with the county auditor Saturday
by Dale Thorp. Mr.. Thorp was I'M
opposed in his campaign for the
Democratic nomination in the re-
cent primaries.
In public statement issued
Saturday by Mr.. Thorp, he states:
For personal reasons I am no
longer a candidate for the office
of county treasurer. My withdrawal
is today being rendered the proper
officials. While my filing was an
eleventh hour proposition I feel I
can offer no acceptable apology to
those voters who 50 loyalty sup
ported me in the primaries.
my filing would never have
been made if there had been any
other democratic applicant for the
position, if this can be construed as
justification for my withdrawal.

First Snow Furry
Hits Coulee Dam
Hills In Region Are Whitened
With Years Initial
Downfall

GRAND COULEE DAM-The
winter season cast it's shadow at
the dam site Saturday.
Although the area itself was not
subjected to any great volume. of
snowflakes, the high hills sur
rounding the region were painted
white by the first of the winter
SHOWS. What little snow that did
fall at the dam site, was half rain.
On the highways between Almira
and the dam region and between
Nespelem and this vicinity, motor
lists reported snowstorms equalllng
the regular mid-winter type. MT.
Keller looming in the distance had
on it's first blanket of white Sun
day.
The heavy rainfall of the week
end turned the area into a verit-
able marsh at certain sections. De-
touring was necessary at the juno
ton of the Coulee City and Almira
highways on the Continental Land
Co., tracts.

Nespelem, Chief
Wide Publicity

George Friedlander, grandson of
Chief Moses and member of line
OF famous Indian chiefs, was one
of the few men who was granted
permission to shake the hand of
President Roosevelt when he visited
the Grand Coulee dam site last
August 4. "
Today Friedlander, a Nespelem
resident, has right to be prouder
than ever. His picture, in which he
is seen gripping the president IS
hand, appears in the current issue
of Saturday Evening Post. The
chief, when the picture was snap
ped, was adorned with a bear claw
necklace and an ermine decorated
headdress, part of a costume he in
herited from the famous Chief
Moses.
Enormously, the meeting is de-
scribed in the Post as having taken
place in Oregon, instead of on the
reservation side of the Columbia
river at the dam site, where Pres
ident Roosevelt and Friedlander
claSped hands.

Controversy aroused over a pre-
vious announcement by Mr.. Bank
er that an effort was being made
to permit selection of all workers
at the dam from the state as a
whole, depriving neighboring coun-
ties of preference rights, was ended
recently when the National Reem-
pigment service ordered that the
provisions effective on
all federal projects be adhered to.
These state definitely that coun-
ties in which the work is being done
be given preference, and that war
veterans be given the first chance
for jobs where they qualify for the
type of work they seek. When la
Dor is insufficient to meet the needs,
workers may be taken from other

FOOTBALL PRACTICE UNDERWAY
FOR NESPELEM TEAM ASPIRANTS
Veterans And Newcomers Report
To Coach Ames For
Workouts
Few Berths Vacant
Most Positions Being Sought By
Last Year Players; No
Scrimmages Yet

Groundwork for the organization
of Nespelem'S second high school
football team has been started by
Coach Basil Ames, and preliminary
exercises are preparing contenders
for team positions for the heavy
schedule which awaits them.
Muscles are being whipped into
shape and joints put in smooth
working condition 10y rigorous
training period. Not until the pros
pective players have been "condi-
toned" will the actual try-cuts for
positions begin and scrimmage
practices be held.
Veterans In Backfield
So far it appears that Coach
Ames will have veteran material
for all but one backfield berth. ST
Parmeter, husky fullback, has re-
ported for training and will be a
contender for the post he held on
last years eleven. Roger DeLorm
is the outstanding candidates for
quarterback, and Nose Davis, who
has not yet enrolled, is expected to
try out for the halfback position he
held last year. New material may
be called upon to fill the other half
back post.
The pivot position may fall to
Roy Harrison, last year center, who
likely will be thanked by Selwyn
Trexler and Bernard Picard in the
guard berths Orville Stevenson,
reserve guard last season, may be
groomed to fill one of the guard
positions.
Other Players Return
Edmund Mcneil and Edgar Pen
dell have turned out for practice and
will be candidates Tor the tackle
positions. Edward Bates, another
member of the team last year, ap-
pears to he the most likely prospect
for an end assignment, while Junior
DeCanp will make a strolg bid for
the other wing berth.
Other applicants for positions on
the regular lineup, all of whom are
turning out for practice, are Sleet
Beggs. Delbert Conant, Junior Gray,
Frances Westerly, Ned Crofoot and
Frank Cle9 lorn,
This year an effort will be made
to equip the team with football suits
and shoes. A plan by which the
public could contribute by popular
subscription is being considered.
