to fool the people about that measure,

some big changes in the makeup of the

Shallenberger Classrlate of Bailey.
Ex-Congressman A. c. Shallenber-
ger of Nebraska, who is the big gum
in the list of speakers. does not look
unlike Ex-Governor Bailey. He is
portly of frame. and has the same
good natured. pleasant expression. The
similarity in the personal appearance
of the two men is further heightened
by dark expressive eyes and smooth
shaven face.
Apropos of all this Bailey and Shall
lenberger were classmates at college,
at the University of Illinois. The
similarity continues even further.
Shallenberger puts in considerable
southwestern part of Nebraska and
specializes in fine shorthorns, though
banking is credited with being his pro-
fession. He has lived in and around
Alma. Neb.. for the past 81 years,
coming there from Illinois where he
was born. Though living in a district
which is nominally Republican Shall
lenberger was sent from there to con-
gress. the first Democrat to be so elect
ed. He ran again but the Republicans
managed to adjust their differences
and got back the control that they
had lost of the situation for the time
being. The fight that he made down
in his end of the state drew to him so
much attention and interest that his
party picked upon him for governor
and ran him this last fall. While I'M
