LINCOLN, Nov 16 - Especially - Now
comes the report to the state house that
the guaranty OF bank deposits bill to be
passed by the democratic legislature will
not be Objectionable to the bankers of
Nebraska.
The report Is that a lawyer at North
Platte made the statement that "Shallen-
berger's guaranty bill will not hurt us"
This - the reason this banker gave for
supporting the governor-elect.
The information was brought to Lincoln
by close personal and political friend Of
Governor Sheldon and he gave out the
Information to several parties. 1t was hts
idea that the bankers of the state op-
posed Governor Sheldon and were for Shall
lenberger notwithstanding they opposed a
guaranty law and Shallenberger favored it,
This man believed from his talk with the
banker that the democratic candidate and
the representatives of the bankers thor
oughly understand each other and they
were satisfied with what Shalenberger
would recommend to the Legislature.
Hnrtigan for AdJutant General.
1t was reported this morning that Gov
ernor shallenberger had formally offered

j. g. Hartigan of Fairbury and the latter
liable report was received here that the
job was at the disposal of Hartigan but
that he turned it down and that Major
Mack Of Albion would be the next adjutant
general.
c. ]. Bowlby of Crete, a newspaper man,
editor Of the Crete Democrat, is said to
be slated for labor Commissioner TO take
TIE place made famous by John j. Ryder

said along with the report, which is prob
ably reliable, that Bowlby will continue to
run his newspaper and do the job here as
a side line.
