BMYTH LOBECK The Douglas county democracy stayed in the background Saturday afternoon while the Howell-Herdman crowd bossed the county convention, which named the above ticket, nominated delegates to the con- gressional, judicial and state conventions and named a new county central commit- tee. The Jacksonlans were so overwhelm- ingly in the majority that the only contest in the whole convention was over county attorney. The Jacksonlans named their man, Carl C. Wright, for chairman with- out a semblance of difficulty. Coming to the county attorneyship, over which was expected even more of a fight than actually took place, English was named over Lysle A Abbott by a vote of 133 to 119. County Forces Quit. This took the nerve out of the County Democracy force. They realized thelr own waning strength after this result was announced and the undiminished potency of thelr rivals. Bmboldened upon the other bhand by victory in the first round the Jacksonians tightened their grip upon the reins of the meeting and drove with steady band and unvarying nerve throughout the ,convention. Ed Howell himself was much /in evidence. He did a good job of coaching his retinue of followers and the latter pe ed thelr part well in pursulng his tourse. The Omaha boss was alded in his victory by his friends from South Omaha, 'Who never made a serious break in mis- dnterpreting his orders. I" Howell kept a close watch on the lines hat be had thrown out to catch the pop- ulist support. He succeeded In having populists nominated for the house of ntstives and made the motion him- If that gave the nomination by acclama- fon to one, B. A. Calelly, & country mem- r. In fact Howell, In his speech, warned his party not to snub or slight the popu- lists, for the democrats would need the pop- ulists in thelr business when election rolled round, and If there was any discord or disatistaction because & popullst or two Elpp.nofl to be given a place upon the iticket, he assured his followers it would ean injury to the democratic ticket. \Howell's remarks were conclusive evidence 'that the democrats realized the futllity of a |campatgn without the aid of the populsts {and also of their determination to secure “hlt aid if possible. Leaders Without Followers, | ‘The anti-Howell rdman faction, led by Harry Miller, Louis Platt! and Charles Fanning, before the convention, needed no leader during the meeting, for there was no following to be done, unless it was be- hind the Jacksonlans—but still there 'seemed to be no band wagon in the parade. Once during the afterncon the vanquished ‘hfl rallied for a few minutes and it lpoked {88 if they were really going to assume a new crlp. But it proved to be only a spurt, and that a vain one. This was when EA How- ,III arose to announce that he wanted the " chalrman ‘of the county central committee |named by the convention. Despite the fact |that this was not provided for in the call the county democracy fon—the boss carried his point and J, elected chalrman. One South Omaha man broke ranks and an msurgent for a few minutes, protesting that it never had been the rule the convention to say who should be hatrman of the county central committee; that was not within the province of the vention, but was clearly the duty and privilege of the committee. But like all 'other such protests his words went to the winds, The convention was called to order at 2:16 1o Washiogton hall by Ed Howell, the vetiring chalrman of the county central committee. Mr. Howell made briet re- marks thanking the democrats of the county and his assoclates upon the com- mittee for past favors, exhorting his fel Jow-democrats in the interests of the party, pleading the urgent necessity for harmony Doth 1u conventions and during the election period and predicting a sweeping victory for the county, state and district tickets Mhis fall. | Wright for Chalrman. Carl C. Wright was then chosen tem- porary chairman and Robert F. Smith tem- porary secretary. Charles H. Brown wi first named for the latter place, but was 'mot to be found In the hall. The organiza- |tion was made permanent by a unanimous vote and the fear or possibility of a fight the chalrmanship was over. In briefly addressing the convention ‘Wright declared that the ticket be named would not be dominated by lon influences and that the party jwould fight its battles this fall inde- ent of any sinister powers and would, led, win & victory at the polls. The convention voted to allow delegates wse proxies of absentees residing in own precinots and for each delegation to cast the full vote of its respective pre- or ward. A flood of proxies was then . The delegates apparently had gone to to consume much time in making up irman named one com- f seven to select delegates for the their lists of delegates the convention be- gan on nominations. That of county attor- ney was the first and James P. English was nominated. Searcely had his name been mentioned than George W. Shields took the floor and began nominating Lysle 1. Abbott. Mr. Shields indulged in quite a speech, in the course of which be told the convention that the reason he preferred Abbott was that he considered him the better man; he thought he was a more competent lawyer, & more aggressive pros- ecutor and would make a better county at- torney than Bnglish, and be added that it was not wise to select men who stood merely upon their reputations. Another element of strength which Mr. Shields be- spoke for his candidate was that he was a better vote getter thanm his opponent. John J. O'Connor, Joseph Sherry and others seconded the nomination of English and W. H. DeFrance =nd several more spoke In behalf of Abbott's candidacy. The vote stood: English, 138; Abbott, 119. English and then Abbott made perfuntory remarks, the latter ing he thought it was too much to ask a defeated man to speak. Nominations for the legislative ticket were then made, with the result as stated at the head of the column, New County Committee.

MANY RIDE OVER NORTHEAST NEBRASKA Citizens of M Greet the Representatives of the Jobbing Interests of the Metropolis, ¥y Towns Cor y “Get busy." This was the ery of the 120 representa- tives of different jobbing and manufactu ing interests of Omaha and South Omaha on the Commercial club excursion that left the Webster street depot last Thursday morning over the Chicago, St. Paul, Min- neapolis & Omaha rallroad. The train of x cars was In charge of Mr. H. C. Cheney and Mr. Lyman Sholes. The first stop was Blalr, and right there and then the ad- vertising matter commenced to fly and every business man was seen and dec- orated. Herman, looking bright and no traces of a tornado, was next given a fifteen- minute stop. Tekamah was given twenty- five minutes, and no time was wasted. Craig was next, and so was the rain. The business men sald it was not needed, but it the excursionists insisted, it was all right. Oakland was reached at 11:10 a. m. By this time the jobbers commenced to re- alize that they were working and being worked by the increasing crowds that were meeting them and carrying off their plun- der in the way of advertising novelties. Lyons, Bancroft and Pender were seren- aded and paraded by the by this time thoroughly wet, but smiling and happy rep- resentatives of the metropolis. Emerson, 2:10 p. m. '“Here s where we eat”” a welcome announcement, as the 6 o'clock breakfast at Omaha had been forgotten long ago and only remembered as a thing of the past. Continuing to the north Na- core, Hubbard, Jackson and Ponca were overhauled and tramped on, as if the club bad a perfect right, even if it was virgin soll to a large percentage of the Omahans, Sloux City claims this territory, body and breeches, but the Commercial club says it has a quit claim now and proposed to get a warranty deed soon. Evening Fun at Hartington. Newcastle was the turning point and from there the traln doubled back and made the run to Hartington. At this point supper and to bed to prepare for another busy day. At 8 a. m. Friday the train pulled out, the rain over and bright sunshine to spur the excursionists to do their best. They had captured the sheriff of Cedar county at Hartington on account of a little interrup- tion of a pleasant evening's entertalnment in the form of a badger fight. He de- clared that it could mot come off until he ‘was ‘“‘seen’” 0 he was ‘‘shown,” the result being that he came to Omaha in the bag- gage car. Laurel, Concord and Wakefleld were all visited In their turn. Wayne was next and then on to Carroll, Randolph, Magnet and W At Wausa the club was greeted by the Wausa Improvement club with an ele- phant at the hdad of the procession, as well as a thoroughly trained braying ass. A good deal of Amusement was created here. Even the sheriff wanted to be let loose. Second Day’s Dol Bloomfleld {s at the end of this division and from this point the train doubled back to Wayne, on the main line. At the Winside the depot s a pretty park and it was filled with people and a pretty boquet waa pinned on each of the visitors by pretty little girls all dressed in white. Hoskin ‘was next, then Norfolk for supper. A stop of one hour and thirty minutes was con- sumed here In visiting and eating, espe- clially the latter. At Norfolk the train was changed over to the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missour! Valley and started for home at 6:30. Stanton, Pliger, Wisner and Beemer were down at the depot it was after business hours and the crowds jammed platforms and all surroundings. West Polnt, Scribner and Hooper and all towns had been visited as scheduled and this ended the most successful Commercial club excurslon ever sent out. Not & badge, but- ton, banner or clgar was left on the train. The trip was a success from start to finish, no accidents, and the train was splendidly handled by the railroad manage- ments and everybody arrived home tired but happy. Stil. Keeps it Up. “During & period of poor health some time ago I got a trial bottle of DeWitt's Little Early Risers,” says Justice of Peace Adam Shook of New Lisbon, Ind. “I took them and they did me so much good I have used them ever since.” Safe, re- llable and gentle, DeWitt's Little Early Risers neither gripe nor distress, but stim- ulate the liver and promote regular and easy action of the bowels.

Nervel, chief of the hydrographic department at Washington, will be in Omaha next week on his way to western Nebraska and northern Colorado, to look after irrigation interests.
