All candidates are selected In primaries, so that all that is left for the conventions to do U to build platform and select the state campaign officers. The conventions, nevertheless, are attracting the attention of politicians the country over. They are the first state conventions of the year to be held anywhere in the north or west. Furthermore, they are held In a state which has furnished some of the most conspicuous leaders of the "insurgent" movement In the republican party and at the same time still Interests the democrats as the home state of Wil liam J. Bryan. Unless all signs go astray the repub lican convention in this city will fur nlsh more . interesting developments " than the gathering at Fremont." The republicans are badly split. The reg ular and Insurgents vught, and the Nebraska Progressive Republican league was the outgrowth. ' Then the latter party split and the Reformed Nebraska Progressive Republican the latter being those Insurgents who have returned to the support of Presl , dent Taft, while the Mid Road Progres sives are still fighting the administra tion.

Victor Rosewater, the Omaha editor, Is leading the fight for Taft, while Gov ernor Aldrich is an avowed supporter of La Follette. A successor to United States Senator Norrls Brown Is to be chosen before long and this tends to still further complicate the situation In the republican party. Congressman N. K. West, owner of the N. K. West store, returned this morning from Portland where he was called by the sudden death of his brother, Tad S West. His brother who was 43 years of age, died at St. Vincent's hospital Saturday njght, following an opera tion for appendicitis. He was taken to the hospital last Monday, but ills con dition wag so serious that the opera- tlon was delayed several days. He did not rally from the shock, v The de ceased was a son of N.

' '. As Governor Aldrich . has been ap proached by Victor Rosewater with a view to bringing out the governor as a candidate for senator, the Aldrich and Rosewater interests are to some extent In sympathy. At the same time, how ever, Rosewater Is an ardent supporter of Taft. while Aldrich leans toward La Follette. , Senator Brown, no longer beloved of Rosewater, Is supporting Taft, thus opposing Aldrich. 'whose sup port he would like In the -senatorial fight. , . '. . While the republicans are thus bad ly mixed up, the democrats, on the other hand, appear to be working In more perfect harmdhy than for a num ber of years past. For the first time In more than a decade they are ap proaching a campaign with a thorough organization behind them.

New York, July 25. That a $10,000, 000 National City company to be oper ated by the directions ot the; National City bank, was organized to nullify the supreme-court' bust decision In the Standard il and American Tobacco cases is reported today on Wall street. It is ascertained the new company will be a holding company for both trusts. The trusts, it is reported, will be split Into their integral concerns, confirm ing the decision and then the National will control them Indirectly. The stock of the bank and the Na tional company will be interlocked so the owners of stock In both concerns must sell both stocks or none at all. When the reorganization plan ot the oil and tobacco trusts is announced it is believed all stocks of the compan ies composing the two trusts be turn ed back to their original owners with a similar : interlocking clause which will effectually prevent the sale of any single stock but will allow the sale ot all or none, This will hold the trusts virtually Intact. pin ii TO REST TODAY the summer time they can WorK v s wards Mt.
