WANTS TO CONTROL JUDGES AND CLERKS e Goes Through County Come fttee By Votes of County Pre- einets Seventh and N Wards, The republican county central commit- teé yesterday, by a close vote, surrendered to the congressional committee its rights and powers to conduct the forthcomin, primary election at which delegates to th county and congressional conventions are to be chosen. Furthermore the commit- tee resolved to require republican voters, including those regularly registered as r publicans, to make oath that they voted for the repablican electoral ticket at the last presidential election before they can vote at the primary 1a vase they are chal- lenged. After the county committee adjourned the congressional committes met at the office of Mr. Mercer's campalgn manager, called the congressional convention for th September 30, de. cided to admit the delegates already se- lected by the county comventions of Was ington and Sarpy, denfed to Douglas county the right to select its delegation In the same way, and fixed an apportionment giving the Omaha wards, where Mercer s weakest, only seven delegates each, the South Omaha wards three delegates each and the county precincts, where Mercer is supposed to be strongest, three delegates each. Can- dldates Cornish and Breen were called in to address the congressional committee be- fore it acted, but their arguments and pleas for fair play were answered by Mr. Black- burn telling them that the action of the committee had been arbitrarily decided upon in advance. County Committee Proceedings. The county ¢Smmittee met at Washing- ton hall at 2:20 in the afternoon, with Chairman Goss presiding and Afty-nine ‘members present or represented by proxy. As soon as order had been called the chair- man recognized W. F. Gurley, as proxy for Harry Morrill of the Fourth ward, who introduced the. following resolution: Resolved, That the chairman of this committee’ be authorized and directed to call & primary election of Douglas count republicans for Friday, Septem! to select 178 delegates to represent Dougl county In_the county convention to called to meet at Omaha, Beptember 20, 1902, That the apportionment of delegates be ten for each ward in the elty of Omana, five for each country precinct and three for each ward in the city of South Omaha. That for the pu of “this primary election the boundarles of the voting dis- tricts for the cifies of Omaha and South Omaha the same as fhe boundaries of the various wards respectively; for the country precincts, the same as the bounda- ries of the precincts respectively. That the filing of names to be placed on the official ballots and the conduct of the primary election be governed by the rules adopted by this committee in so far as they are appropriste. That the chairman of this committee s hereby authorized and empowered to ap- point ‘a committee of five, of which the chairman be a member, to confer with the congressional, city and judiclal committees, and to make for & simultancous above set forth, an election officers ‘and the selection of poll- ing places. And if said simultaneous pri- m agreed upon by the representa- tives of this committee, and either or any of the others, then the chairman and sec- the notice to posted and published. That no _petitions for names to be placed on the official pri ballot shall re- quired for or on behalf of any candidates for delegates from any of the country precincts. Connell Calls for Fair Play. ‘W. J. Connell objected to that part of 1 resolution which sought to give into the hands of a committee known to be an- tagonistic to three of the four congres- sional candidates the power to name the judges and clerks and select the polling pla for the primaries. He questioned the right of the committee, representa- tive of the republicans of the county, thus to surrender its prerogative, and argued that the resolution was drawn for the pur- pose of giving ome of the congressional candidates an unfalr and undeserved ad- vantage over the other three, Mr. Gurley made a long speech, in which o declared that the purpose of the reso- lution was to secure a vote on the con- grossional proposition separately from the vote on candidates for county offices. He avowed that the congressional committes, of which he is a member, was disposed to treat all candidates for the conmgressional nomination fairly, but falled to explain why he desired the judges and clerks and polling places for the primaries to be se- lected by a committee controlled abso- lutely by Mr. Mercer. Charles Unitt, R. W. Breckenridge, A. H. Burnett and G. C. Thompson spoke In fa- vor of the resolution, and Joseph Koutsky 4nd H. C. Murphy of South Omaba and Theodore Olsen, members of the commit- tee, and E. J. Cornish and John P. Breen, candidates for congress, argued in opposi- tion. The congressional candidates sald that all they wanted was fair play, which they felt sure of getting in the event~‘the county committee did not give over its right to conduct the primaries to the con- gressional committee, which is known to be antagonistic to all but one of the con- gressional candidates. Mr. Cornish Appeals to Reasom, Mr. Cornish said in part: “I am willing to let the congressional committee make the apportionment of con- gressional delegates for this county and to have the county committee endorse such an apportionment if it 1s any thing like & falr ome. I am willing to have delegates to the ¢ounty and congreasional conventions voted for separately at the primaries, so as not to complicate the congrossional contest with that between candidates for county offices. But I want the selection of the Judges and clerks and the polling places for the pri- maries to be determined by the county com- mittee, whose members were chosen without any reference to thelr choice for congress- man, instead of by the congressional co: mittee, all of whom are for Mercer, and & speclal committee to be appointed by Chafr man Goss, who has expressed himself for Mercer. The resolution presented by Mr, Gurley establishes a precedent that destroys thie county & political unit. Under such a precedent t! te committee could minke one apportionment of delegates to a state cenvention for all the countles In the state excepting Douglas county, and then make & differ portionment for this county, thereby destroying all opportunity for united action by the republican party.” The first vote oo the question of surrend- ering to the congressional committee was taken ob & substitute motion made by Mr. Connell to have the meeting proceed with the formulation of a call for the primaries, during which proceeding = the committes could vete on the different propositions ex- pressed in the resolution separately.. The roll was called and Secretary Messick an- Tesuit as 35 in the aMrmativ negative, although two of t! ibiee BeWapapei repuriers preseni and sev- eral of the members kept & tally which thowed the vote as 30 t0 29 in favor of the substitut The question tha» came on the adoption of the resolution, wnd although two of the members who had voted for the Consiell sub- stitute voted for the resolution, the resalt was £1 to 38 in favor of the resolution before three other members changed their votes, making the Gsal tally 34 to IS Several members who kept tally were firmly con- vinced that the secretary had made a mis- taks in tallying the vote en the Commall sub- stitute and that ft really passed by a ma- Jority of one vots. ler the provisions of the Guriey reso- was declared adopted, Chair- ointed the following commit- confer with the congressional and commiiteds: Charies A. Goms and G. C. Thompson of the NiLTi ward, A. H. Burnett of the Beventh, Charles Pottet of Dundee and J. C. Troutman of S8outh Omaha. R, W. Breckenridge then introduced the following resolution, which was adopted after brief debate: Resolved, THat no person shall be en- titled to Vo at any primary election in the primary election districts ‘where - tration of afml law unless excepting such |.under the pri tration, an titled to vite at B! any event unless he voted the republican electoral ticket at the last preceding presi- dential election or will make oath thut he has changed party afiiations since that date and expects hereafter to vote the republican tioket.

He #4ld that he had prepared a resolution, the doption of which would promote har- mony. He read the following: ‘Whereas, 1t 1s desirable in the interest of the republican party and to avold oom- plications and controversy over the e tion of delegates to the Second d 1 convention that the co o said e ona | slonal committee (rlc} S‘o \ republican county committee o uglas county should work in_harmony and o the action taken and calls issued by said committees should not in any manner con- flict; therefore, for the purpose of bringing about unity of action and reaching a satis- factory understanding, be it Resolved, That the republican county committee’ of Douglas county, as repre- senting the republican party of said county, has the clear right to provide for the selec: tlon of delegates to the congressional con: ventlon, It being the province and power 9f the congressional committee merely to determine the time and place of holding the congressional convention ber of delegates to be assign trict; and, Regolved, That the congressional commit- tee be notified of the action of this coms nd be furnished with a this resolution and that for such pu and for the purpose of having carrled effect this resolution the committee to be appointed by the chalr present the same to the congressional committee and urge action In accordance therewith. Mr. Cornish was called upon and took up {the matter of apportionment between the counties, showing that it the same basis of apportionment was used In_Omaha as in the remainder of Douglas county and the apportionment based upon the vote cast for Mr. Mercer at the last election, the basis t for the candidate, no precinct would have more than one delegate, and that it would mot be fair to change the b but he was willing to concede two to each pre- clnct outside of the city. He asked D. H. Kirechner, @ member of the committee from the country, if that was not falr. Mr. Cornish then.sald that he agreed with Mr. Breen as to the irregula ty of the selection of delegates in Washington county, but had no desire to criticise if the Ppeople of Washington county are satisfled. On motion of W. F. Gurley the Connell resolution was tabled and then, again on motion of Mr. Gurley, the meeting ad- Journes 1 Congressional Committtee Proceedings The congressianal zommittee did not con- vene until after the adjournment of the county committee. The committee cepted the resignation of J. L. Carson as member and his successor was appointed by David H. Mercer selecting George C. Thompson. A messenger was sent out to bring in the candidates for nomination and reported Mr. Pratt out of the eity. Mr. Breen belng called upon to express his idea of what the committee should do, sald that as a lawyer he was of the opinion that the committee could do no more than fix the time and place for holding the con- vention and determine the number of dele- gates from each county composing the district; that the selection of delegates by Washington and Sarpy count! was ir- regular and in the case of tho former county probably fllegal, as there was no positive call for the selection of delegates issued by the county committee at the time the convention was held. Chairman Blackburn saild that the committee had already decided that it had power to ap- portion the delegates to the wards and precincts of Douglas county, and Mr. Breen replied: “I mever desire to talk to a Jury aftter it has returned a yprdict.” Blackburs Wants the Lists., | ‘The question of the geledtion of judges and clerks of election came up and the candl- dates were invited to present lMsts of the names of persons. they desired to have on the returning boards of the precinots, the Judges and clerks to be apportioned between the candidates.

L, Aug. 23.—Not since the visit here of President Hayes, twenty-five years ago, has a chief executive been mo- corded so brilliant and thoroughly general a reception as that temdered here today to President Roosevelt. The presidential train arrived at 11:40, and after the firing of the presidential salute and a formal ‘welcome the party, which was joined by Senator Nelson W. Aldrich and others, pro- ceeded to the e house, Governor Kimball was in waiting in the reception room of the executive offces with members of the general and persomal staffs when President Roo t, escorted by Brigadier General Tanner, entered the bullding. After a few moments had been consumed In presenting the officers lunch- eon was served and the party then pro- d to the beautiful reception room, ‘e the lieu nt governer, members of the general assembly, officers of the state, justices of the courts and other per- sons of note were waiting. Cheers Many and Loud. At 1:35 the procession through the city began. Presidential and business sections of the eity were gally decorated with flags and bunting, and for the greater part of the way there were two solid lines of peo- ple, who had come from every portion of the state to welecome the president. Flags were waved, hats doffed and enthusiastic cheers given. On arriving at City hall the presidential party was oscorted to an immense elevated platform in fromt of the building. When the president appeared he ‘was greeted by a great demonstration, in ‘which 15,000 voices joined. Those Inevitable Mutterings.
