Executive Speaks of Trip.
Governor Shallenberger returned to Lin
coin this morning after having been with
the presidential party on it's trip down
the Mississippi since October %.
we had a most delightful trip" said
the governor, land l enjoyed 1t i'm
mensely. There were 100 congressman
and senator and 26 governors, besides the
president. three members of his cabinet,
the minister from Cuba and two Central
American minister's
THE trip was taken at the expense of
the Business MEMS league of st. Loui
for the purpose, Of creating an interesting
in the deep water ways to the gulf"
One of the questions about which there
was some doubt among the governors and
congressman was whether after the deep
water way was constructed, would there
be sufficient traffic on the river to justify
the expenditure. Some thought 1t n good
idea to have the government install a line
of boats to. see II the traffic could be won
back to the river,
Another point OF difference between
those present on the trip was how to pay
for the work. Some favored the idea of
Speaker Cannon that the states should pay
some OF the costs and the government its
share. These opposed the issue Of bonds
as advocated by the president.
Most of the governors favored the states
keeping control of the water power on the
river and making money out Of this by
leasing to private parties. The water sup
ply and water power will rave to be con-
sidered in cutting the channel deeper. 1t
was practically unanimous that every pro-
ject should be undertaken independently of
other projects. That is, il the government
made appropriations for the work 1t should
make distince appropriations for the sep
arate projects and not scatter the money
over several projects without doing any
good for any of them. 1t is believed IT
would require fifteen years to complete the
work on the Mississippi alone"
While at New Orleans the governor met
Former Governor Sheldon and his family
at the Charleston hotel. He also met Sup
erintendent Byram Of the Burlington
among a number of railroad men who were
watching developments Of the trip.
w. e. Andrews in Capital.
w. f.. Andrews, auditor OF the United
States treasury. came through Lincoln to-
day, from Hastings, on his way to Wash
ington, after having voted at his home,
which has been his custom, for many
years.
Il heard very much talk regarding the
campaign for next year and l believe the
fieht In Nebraska Y IL be a most inter-
esting one. Even before the campaign
opens there will be a lot of discussion over
platform and candidates.
80 far as l am personally concerned
/ am we'll pleased where I am and I see
no reason for projecting myself into the
race for the gubernatorial nomination at
this time. The selection OF a candidate
is up to the republicans Of the state, as
IS the writing Of the platform. They have
to make the fight and therefore they
should not be Handicapped by anyone in
jecting his " personality into the race
now to complicate matters. AS a matter
! OF fact. the platform itself will point the
way to the candidate.
'"rhe thing for the republicans to dc
is to get together and II there is any diff
f~erences settle them between themselves
and decide what they want in the platform
end who they want for their candidates
Then they can put up a solid front to the
common enemy"
