The first practical use Of the wireless

in Paris, France. Not only has the sys-
tenn been adopted on the American fleets.
but also on the British and Italian fleets.
The station We shall establish in
Omaha will give long distance telegraph
and telephone service for all commercial
uses. We shall have a full corps of mes
senger boys the same as the wire com

Railroads and
the Corn Show
Chicago Lines Promise to Cooperate
in Making the Big EXPOSE
ton a Success.

Everett Buckingham and c. c. Rose
water returned Thursday morning from
Chicago where they nave been in the in
terest of the National Corn exposition,
taking up the matter of railroad co-opera-
ton. The response has been all that
could be asked and the different roads
centering at Omaha, as we'll as connect
ing lines. are willing and anxious to help
in the corn exposition enterprise. The
question of rates will be taken up within
a short time and Il is felt that there will
be no difficulty in securing them this
year. The roads will cooperate in the
advertising plans of the exposition by
putting out special folders and assisting
in the same manner as in 1908, and they
will also care for the transportation Of
competitive exhibits in a way which will
be very successful. This announcement
coming at the same time as the one of
the Great Northern, who will transport

jim ADMITS IT NOW
Avows Himself Candidate for the
Governors Job.
SAYS sHALLENBERGER IS LUCKY
Resolutions of Endorsement Could
Have Been Defeated on the
Floor of the Recent


Mayor Dahlman entertains the opinion
that Governor Shallenberger ought to
consider himself as lucky to be able to
grab as much of an endorsement as he
did at the recent democratic state conven-
ton and that If the governor knows what
is good for him he will keep to himself
any private opinions he may entertain and
not comment on the convention.
III l mad done what the governor did
in signing the s o'clock closing law an en-
dorsement of my action at the hands Of
delegates in a state convention or the
party would be the last thing I would ex-
pect," said Mayor Dahlman. Il have not
talked to any members of the resolutions
committee and know nothing of the con-
tention within the committee, but I would
like to have seen the endorsement propo-
sition go to the convention as a whole for
a fight on the floor.
1T is said the governor insisted on the
endorsement plank. Whether or not this is
so, l do not know, but 1 nave a rather
firmly fixed idea that there would have
been a pretty fight on the floor of the
convention to pass the plank, had it not
been contained in the original report of
the resolutions committee"
The mayor does not hesitate to say that
he will be a candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor next year, but
says it is too early to make official an
nouncement to this effect. He will take
the wet side of the prohibition question.
knowing that Governor Sh%allenberger will
advocate prohibition If he asks for a sec
ond term.
There seems to be a well defined idea,
however, among politicians out in the
state, who make it a point to see Mayor
Dahlman whenever they come TO Omaha.
that Governor Shallenberger will not run
for governor next year. They pat the
mayor on the back by saying it is a fore
gone conclusion that Dahlman will be the
democratic nominee and thai Shallen-
berger realizes it. For this reason they
say that Shallenberger will probably shy
his castor at the United States senator
ship, believing that he is as strong now as
he would be after serving a second term
as governor, even if he could secure the
second term.
