STATE POLITICAL GOSSIP
Republicans and Democrats Organizing for
the Next Campaign.
WALL SOUNDS LANCASTER COUNTY
W. ". Harrison of Grand Island Has
Long Conference with state Treas
urer Mortensen over Foot
Ball Game.
lFrom a star Correspondent.l

during the last few days than during the
| entire campaign Just ended Inasmuch as
II was foregone conclusion that the re-
| publican state ticket would be elected hands
down. the campaign was merely skirmish
| before the big battle coming, and both the
| republicans and democrats took advantage
! of the opportunity to get well organized.
| Now the discussion OF candidates has be-
| gun.
There have been two men here feeling the
Lancaster pulse in the interest of John
! wall and his candidacy for governor, and
Mr.. Wall will be here Monday night for the
| same purpose. Last night W. H. Harrison
| of Grand Island was here and had long
conference with State Treasurer Morten-
sen.
Harrison DiScIaIms Interest.
At the conclusion OF the talk Mr.. Harri-
son said:
| We were merely discussing the foot ball
game. It was the very best that l ever
saw. No, no, l am not paying any atten-
ton to politics. I don't want anything
myself and haven't given candidates any
| thought at all. You see we have just come
out OF a hard night in our own town. where
| high school bonds were voted. That was
more exciting than any state election. Over
I 200 women voted and there was nothing
for us old men to do but open the carriage
doors for them. They had their own or
CARNATIONS and they worked all day and
used their own carriages. 1t was North
and South Side fight and II was a pretty
one.
In our county the state ticket ran be-
hind the local ticket about 400 votes.
don't know whether that happened in other
counties or not The people were 60 inter
ested in local affairs that they overlooked
! the head Of ticket al
County Attorney Stanley and Sheriff
Plum OF Hamilton county and Frank Har-
rison now OF the eatrce Express, came
in later In the evening. Down in Beatrice
the politicians expect to boost Dempster
for governor, while Stanley said Hamilton
county would have a candidate at the right
moment Clyde Barnard was here Friday
night and of course he Is interested more
in the makeup of the next legislature, or
rather the house, than he is in any OF the
state candidates. If enough of the old
members are returned to the house Barn
ard will be slated for chief clerk.
In the meantime not all of the talk heard
has to do with the governor. While no one
visiting the capital seems to know who
will be the next treasurer, a number have
discussed candidates for other state Of
fees. This means that at least some OF
the nrst-termers will have to fight for a
denomination. II the sentiment expressed
by the visitors is the sentiment of their
various communities at least one or two
of the present state officers will have the
fight Of their lives to land a second nomi-
nation.
Investigating Card system.
Ben Lease, son of former Attorney Gen
eral Lease, was here last night and called
at the republican state headquarters to in
vestigate the card system. Mr.. Lease eX
poets the republican managers of Denver
to install the system and he visited the
headquarters especially to look into the
arrangements and to report to his Denver
associates.
The republican headquarters probably will
remain open all winter and someone will
be installed to look after things Chair
man Warner left Lincoln In fine spirits
over the result of the election and espe-
clally as the committee has wiped out the
Sizcr Burgess debts left from the last cam
paign. Mr. Warner very modestly refuses
to take the credit OF that to himself, though
he does take credit for having the per-
spicacity Of taking the executive committee
into his confidence on all occasions and for
holding frequent meetings of the committee
and for getting H. c. Lindsay and Craw-
ford Kennedy to help raise the money to
pay of the debts Mr.. Kennedy was the
outside man during the campaign and that
very winning way OF his did the business.
The republican that could refuse to dough
up" when Kennedy went after him, It is
said, has never yet been discovered within
the confines of the state For his good
work it may be that Kennedy will be called
to Washington later in the winter He
knows every man, woman and child In the
state and has been invaluable around the
Headquarters
