LINCOLN, Nov. 5.--CSpeciaL)-One Of the
fret scraps Governor-Ele shallenberser
will have to settle is right here in Lam
caster county. 1t will be over the appoint
ment Of a prison phyScian and member
of the board of secretaries of the State
Board OF Health. 1t Is possible. Of course.
that he will settle It by not appointing any
one from here, but II he does a whole lot
of doctors are going to be awfully disap-
pointed.
As matter Of fact, a good many doctors
in Lincoln opposed Governor Sheldon be-
cause they failed 20 land on the Board OF
Health or at the state penitentiary. Among
those who have been mentioned for the
place and who did sufficient work TO entltle
them to recognition at the hands OF the
democratic administration are Or. f
Arthur Carr, who got out the slanderous
letter on the letterhead OF the Civic league
Friends Of DR.. f. Arthur expect him to
land a good place at the hands Of the new
governor.
| Then DIR. F. w. Tucker will want Job
He used his automobile all summer In the
interests Of the democrats and spent good
portion OF his time giving out pictures OF
| the democratic candidate
DIR. Finney is another whose friends be-
will come in with a bunch OF recommended
tions. It is possible that the asylum super
intendency will look big enough for him.
| There are n lot of other doctors who took
an active part in the campaign and some
| of them did so because of losing out in
| the Sheldon appointments. That means, of
course. they will expect something at the
hands of the rev administration.
Then comes the long line of applications
for heads of state institutions, oil inspector
and deputies. adjutant general and assist
ants, secretary Of the Board of Charities
and Corrections, labor commissioner. a
pure food commissioner. a state veterin-
srian and hundreds of helpers
So LING away from the pie counter has
made democrats hungry and a grand rush
is predicted and 1t is even said Mr. Shallen-
berger has begun to get his applications.
1t is reported He will like the job
II the entire democratic state ticket is
elected 1t will kill one bugaboo. 1t was
charged that under a primary law all the
state officers would come from the thickly
populated centers. Clarance Mackey treas
urer-elect and w. d. Eastman. land COM
missioner-elect, are both from Custer
county. Both were nominated at the state
primary.
| Gruenther the Big Gun.
Numerous reasons have been given for
the defeat OF the republican ticket, and
while the reasons given vary, practically
all of the republicans here agree that Chris
Greuenther. secretary OF the democratic
state committee. had a whole lot to dc
with 1t. Gruenther began to organize
Bryan Volunteers early in the campaign
and at the time he began there were thirty
eight counties in the state In which there
was no democratic organization.
After he had completed his organization
he brought 1t to Lincoln. where II was
turned over to the state committee, which
had reelected Tom Allen. Then, later II
the campaign. the candidacy of Shallen,
berger was turned over to Gruenther ex
clusively and Tom Allen devoted all OF hii
attention TO the candidacy OF Mr.. Bryan
1t is the general opinion around republican
headquarters that Gruenther has won hi
spurs in the democratic party. He wal
assisted in his tax circulars by John NJ
Gilchrist and these two superintended tha
part of the campaign work.

The hearing In the case wherein the stool
yards of South Omaha have asked thu
Railway commission to permit II to In

property used in switching in the yard
and the value OF that service.
