Friends of candidates for the republican nomination who are on the dry side are becoming fearful that something is going to happen if the four dry candidates, Pol- lard, McKelvie, Sutton and Madgett, per- sist in all staying in to the end.’Some of them have gone 8o far as to advocate the getting together of the four men and drawing.straws to see which one shall run. It is suggested that a large per cent of the republican vote is dry and with just one of the four in the race it would be easy to win, but with the vote divided it simply means defeat for the four and the nomination of a wet candidate. Of course that is looking at it from the Bryan standpoint that a man's qualifica- tions for the office of governor depends wholly upon how he stands upon the pro- hibition question. Some people are insist- ting that business ability in an executive is a more important qualification than his attitude toward prohibition. Who Will Withdraw ¢ Howeyer, the proposition arises as to which three of the four dry candidates will consent to eliminate themselves. All four of them declare that they are in to stay and that they alone can be elected if nominated. That is the question which 18 bothering friends of the plan just now and until that is solved it is likely that the race will continue with Pollard, Mc- Kelvie, Sutton and Madgett striving for the dry vote and George and possibly Clarence Miles of Hastings dividing up the opposition. # There has as yet no solution come to ‘the very undesirable condition which con- |tronts the leaders of the democratic party. Who will be the man for the gubernatorial nomination is the problem which is keeping many of them awake nights, It is sald, however, that there is hope that a solution will be found at the | state democratic editorjal banquet which will be held at the city auditorium in Lincoln on Thursday evening, the 1ith, when everybody who has a bug crawling in his head gear will be permitted to bring him out and put him on exhibition. That there will be a fine assortment of bugs is assured and that some of them may ex- hibit some of the elements needed for thé nomination is doubtless a fact, but whether they will be able to entirely meet the very pecullar situation remaina te be seen. THOMPSON SEES HOPE FOR DRYS IN NEBRASKA “NO PIKER TOWN,” HE SAYS TRENTON, N. J.,, Jan. 2.—(Spe- cial Telegram.)—"Billy” Sunday told 6,000 persons of all ages, sexes and creeds from this city and a dozen surrounding towns that the reception given him here after he had alighted from the Chicago limited this after- noon was the best in twenty years. “I always thought Trenton was con- servative,” he yelled as he stood in the bay window of the Dolton man- sion at Clfmton avenue and State street, “but I find it isn't. This is no piker town."” “Ma" Sunday, with her face wreathed in emiles, clasped the evangelist about the neck ag he talked for ten seconds to the cheering multitude. Mr. Sunday sat down to a beefstealc dinner at b p. m. It was prepared by Mrs. Emma Mae Foutts, the official housekeeper. He also ate heartily of bakeq beans and raw apples of which ho is very fond. Trip is Fine, “The trip was fine,” he sald between chaws on the beef. ever felt better in all my life,” he cried out with vigor. “I don't want to talk too mwich now,” he remarked. "I have seven weeks of that stuff ahead of me." The Sunday party reached the Clinton street station with the platform jammed with a frenzied mass of peoble. Wearing a steel gray hat and his usual fur collared black overcoat, the evangelist appeared husky, but thinner than when he spoke before the legislature here early last year. Ex-Assemblyman John E. Gili, Dr, Henry Collin Minton, chairman of the Sunday committee, ana Samuel Haverstick, pres- ident of the Chamber of Commerce, were with him along with “Ma.” Winkers' band accompanied a massed | choir of 2,0 voices as Sunday was step- ping into the automobile that was used by President Wilson when inaugurated, “Onward Christian Soldiers,” being sung in mighty tones. Arriving at the house two blocks away, Sunday nimbly stepped from the car, leaped up the steps, and along with his wife hurried to the second floor where he talked to the crowd. “Brighten Up the Corner,” sung by everybody, closed the most unique re- ligious spectacle in the history of the cty. Onme of the side features of Sunday's arrival was the selling of thousands of bags of “Billy” Sunday peanuts by “Spader,” a colored vendor, known to thousands of Princeton graduates and others. “Billy” rests while in seclusion tonight “to be ready to give the devil a battle” tomorrow.
