! LINCOLN. Nov. 6-(Saecial bryan
for the senate, 1870" That is the flag al
ready flown to the breezes by some of the
democrats In Lincoln.
"The democrats will try to make the
coming administration one of the best in
the history Of the state. Then we can go
before the people two years from now
with some hope Of electlng a democratic
legislature. That legislature will send Mr..
Bryan to the senate"
That is the announcement made by John
Ledwith last night in discussing the future
of Mr.. Bryan, and he Is not the only fol-
! lower of the late defeated presidential can
didate who is for the same program. One
prominent Lincoln republican who was for
Bryan in the last fight also expressed him
self along the same lines
You bet helped to carry the state for
Bryan" he is quoted saying. II helped
organize the saloons for him and two
years from now l shall help put him in
the senate"
This information also leaked out before
the election at time when the democrats
had little hope OF Bryan being elected 1t
was published then and is now confirmed.
The democrats have made their ticket for
will be bent in that direction. Their state
committee is to be reorganized at the first
opportunity and the new organization will
get busy along the lines indicated
On the night of election the officials of
the democratic state committee were asked
how they were going to make good on their
promise to reduce the taxes paid by tho
farmers, when the expenses of the state
government are now about as low as good
government will permit.
That's easy" was the reply. 1.-THE re-
publicans have practically paid off the
state debt. We will simply cut down the
taxes and permit the state debt to run up
again. We can keep our word some way"
A few of the counties made their official
returns to tie secretary of state today and
these returns gave considerable encourage
ment to the republican state ticket, with
the exception of governor. While the re-
turns were few, they indicated there was
some ground for hoping that the entire
republican ticket had been elected. Prac-
tically every officer did his own figuring
and most of them seemed satisfied that
they had reason for feeling good over the
J result
Employees of these officers began to
unfasten their trunk straps, but none was
| enough TO DeBln unpaCklnB 1Or
another two years stay.
: At the democratic state headquarters It
was admitted this afternoon that II was
beginning to look like all of the repub-
: lican state ticket would land except gov
ernor.
ShaIlenbe-ger Sees Bryan.
Governor-elect Shallenberger was in Lin
coin today and spent a good portion of the
time out at Fairview In consultation with
Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Shallenberger said he expected to
recommend IN his message to the legisla-
ture the enactment of laws in keeping
, with the democratic state platform.
A horde OF hungTy-eyed democrats
awaited him around the MOTEL and a lot
more inquired for him after he had left.
, The report reached here from Gage county
late this evening that a number, at least
, six. democrats believed they deserved
: places at the pie counter. and this bunch in
cluded DIR. Fall. who had been there once
as the superintendent of the state institu-
n tion at Beatrice Mr.. Shallenberger left
for his home tonight, accompanied by his
: daughter, who is student at the State
I university. A big demonstration will be
d pulled off in Alma Saturday night in honor
: of the new governor,

It A copy Of the Springfield. CMass) Republ-
= lean, containing some information about
d Governor Sheldon was received at the state
:. house today. It came too late to wake uI
e the people 1 ntime for them to re-eleet
v the governor Here is the item:
4 quite apart from considerations affect
ing the national election, it is to be hoped
/ that Governor Sheldon Of Nebraska, repub'
+ lican, will receive handsome endorsement
Il at the hands of his people. He has
II achieved a notable record among the exc
, cutivec of the country in being able TO have
u his promises Of reform placed on tbs
statute books. There is to his credit anC
- that of the legislature which backed hin
up, the anti-pass law, the direct primary
-. law. the employers liability law, the Law
removing the 5000 damage limit, the pur'
food law, and the railroad rate reduction
= laws-surely an imposing array OF radica
enactment"
