Minnesota
81 feel better than I have for a long
time" said Mr.. Mhrtensen. MY son
wanted TO develop his muscles in order to
stand a chance to get on the foot ball
team. so he went to work ON a farm. We
got an automobile and went out together,
and / worked with him. The result is
both of us built up our muscles.
Il hear some politics, but / have no idea
who will be the strong man in q primary
for a nomination for governor on the re-
publican ticket I believe that Senator r.
P. Brown Of Lancaster county would be
a logical candidate IL the fact that he lives
in Lincoln would not operate against him"
Mr.. Mortensen said he had no desire to
get in the race, as Valley county already
has one candidate, though Mr.. Fries has
not said on ticket he will run. Sen
ator Cady, Mr.. Mortenssn thought, might
also get into the race. though he had moth

house this morning to get q blue print
of the grounds showing the position Of
the electric lights that are shortly to be
up. The former mayor is gong to see
to 1t that the city erects lights at the
corners of the grounds, something he has
been trying to get done for many years,
but which the city Of Lincoln has con-
slstently refused to do. Now that the state
is preparing to light the grounds the city
is going to light it's streets at the corners
of the grounds.
The claim was made at the meeting that
the expenses about equalled the income
and little or nothing was being put by
Tor an increasing mortality. The auditor
informed the delegates that the cost of
the insurance would continue to increase
and he insisted on providing for mortuary
income. The auditor insisted upon the re-
peal OF the present law which permits of
the transfer of any Of the mortuary fund
to the general fund to pay expenses.
The speech OF the auditor was ordered
printed so that the delegates would be ia
miliar with the facts when they take II
up to discuss his suggestions at the execu-
live meeting tomorrow.
