From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. April ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
shsllenberger has not yet named his secre-
tary OF the State Banking board. nor named
his numerous examiners. because Governor
Shsllenbcrger Is doing some thinking,
The governor is now building. up his
political machine for future use in his race
for the senate and there is every reason
10 believe he will be a candidate for the
democratic nomination unless he discovers
he has some chance of being rcnomlneted
for governor.
The governor has proposed that IL he be
permitted to name the secretary of the
state Printing board he will reappoint Ed
Royse secretary of the Banking board.
Auditor Barton and Secretary of State
Junkin. the other Members OF the Printing
board, heye an idea the governor will re-
appoint Royse anyhow. so the trade has
not yet been consummated.
In the meantime the talk of the temper
ance democrats to name Victor Wilson OF
Polk county for governor has reached the
cars of the executive office and friends
of the governor believe It would be a wise
move for the governor to appoint Wilson
secretary of the Banking board, and thus
keep him out of the race for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor. This Job
pays 5000 a year, $500 more than does the
governor himself receive. The governors
friends believe 1t would be a mighty nice
place for Mr.. Wilson. OF course, to get
rid OF Wilson in this way would necessitate
another violation OF the constitution of
the state, but a little thing like that would
not affect the leaders OF the democratic
party.
MetcaIfe Talk Like Bomb.
The mention OF Richard l.. Metealfe as
a senatorial possibility has put the leaders
OF the party up In the air and has carried
CONSERVATION to some OF the democratic
strongholds. For instance, in the World
Herald office the editor of the paper is
said to be very much worried and he is
quoted as having made this remark when
his attention was called to the Metcalfe
story:
That is liable to be serious before the
campaign is over"
overload Mullen is said to be equally
disturbed. while w. H. Thompson, and the
other democratic LEADERS" have net yet re-
ported. but as they all threw fits when 1t
was suggested that Metcalfe was entitled
to a seat in the national democratic con-
vention and several more on top of these
when he was mentioned for governor, the
editor OF the Commoner Is expected to have
the hearty opposition OF these persons.
Tho mention of Metcalfe as a senatorial
possibility will have some effect no doubt
upon the appointments Governor Mullen
berger makes and Il is very probable the
applicant will have to make known his
ideas about senatorial candidates as one Of
the qualifications for the job.
And so while he figures out where he is.
the governor is delaying the naming of his
machine cogs and the "b'ys' are still off
the pay roll.
Engineers May he Delegates.
Engineers. who have an interest in ir-
~rigation are requested to notify Governor
Shallenberger. In return the governor will
appoint fifteen Of the number as delegates
to represent the great state OF Nebraska
at the irrigation congress to be held in
Sponkane from August . to IA. All expenses
win be ~rald-by the delegates and irrigation
viii not stop at s O'Clock.
Board Membcrs QuRIify.
LENDERS Of the new State Normal board
got busy early this morning and filed with
the secretary of state their oaths of office

member OF the board had his oath on file.
Governor Invited 10 Valentine.

Invitation to visit Valentine on his road to
Crawford or on his return from there,
