ously contemplating making the race for
the democratic nomination for senator, In
which event he will not run for governor
again.
The governor was not at his home this
afternoon, 50 the report which is being
circulated could not be verified or denied.
Consequently the democrats here are won
dering who will contest with Dahlman for
the nomination.
Dahlman's announcement, together with
the report that the governor wants TO be
senator. has put the democratic party in
a peculiar hole, according TO some Of the
democrats themselves.
The governor, outside OF Mr.. Bryan. Il
believed by many democrats to be the
strongest member Of the party in Nebraska
and II he gets out Of the way and fails
to run against Dahlman, these democrats
are Of the opinion the nomination will go
to the Omaha man. hands down.
II shallenberger fails to run against Dahl

cratic party is really for Dahlman for the
democratic nomination, with the open pri-
mary, Shallenberger would be the strongest
man against him, and II shallenberger
run for the senate instead Of for a second
term, no other strong democrat could be
induced to come out against the mayor.
on the other hand, II the governor de-
serts his party at this time and permits
Dahlman to get the nomination. there are
democrats here who would condemn him
and fight his senatorial aspirations.
There has been lots Of talk here about
the 81 dinner at Kearney and Just what IT
means, and just what will be the result
of that dinner. The speakers so far an
nounced, have some ideas along the same
lines, but II is the talk here that Mayor
Dahlman, when he makes his announce
ment there, will force some Of the other
speakers to come out In the open on the
liquor question.
