LOSING IN NEBRASKA.

Progressive Party Will Die Before Election Day ’Comes Around. Reports from Nebraska show that the Roosevelt sentiment Is decreasing. “The Third Term party,” says one letter to Director Mulvane of the western bureau of the Taft campaign, “is dwindling down to Pops.” James H. Clark of Hastings, Neb., president of a large company which handles investments, securities and farm mortgages, and who has exceptional opportunity to know the feeling among the farmers, says that in Nebraska the farmers are beginning to realize that if they followed Roosevelt they will land nowhere, and if they allow a Democratic president to be elected, they will be ruined. In Lincoln, Neb., the Third Term party had difficulty in securing even two hundred and fifty signers to a petition for their county convention. “The Progressive party will die before election,” says one report “Sentiment is looking better for Taft every day."
