The Nebraska Democratic state convention in Lincoln nominated A C Shallenberger for governor and W H Thompson for US senator, with Populists accepting the ticket and nominating others for state offices. The gathering endorsed direct primary, anti pass, and rail reform planks, and adjourned after adjournment orders and speeches.
Mr. Berge spoke at the populist convention after losing to be governor in the Democratic state convention. He urged support for Democratic candidates while reviewing the Democratic convention and urged loyal, reasonable action toward Shallenberger, arguing populists should align with Democratic expectations.
Ashton C Shallenberger was born in Toulon Illinois in 1862 and educated in local schools and the University of Illinois. He moved to Nebraska in 1881, lived in Polk County and later Alma in Harlan County where he worked in banking and stock raising. He became a Democratic leader, served as temporary chairman at the state convention, won a seat in the Fifty-seventh Congress, was the fusion party candidate in the Fifth District, defeating W S Morlan by 409 votes, and was later defeated by C W Norris.
William H. Thompson, nominee of Democratic and Populist parties for U S senator, is a longtime Nebraska Democratic leader and Bryan ally. He helped organize the Bryan alignment in 1894, led as a congressional candidate in the Fifth District, stood for supreme judge, and won a strong gubernatorial race in 1902. He was a delegate-at-large to the St. Louis national convention two years ago.
