LINCVOLN, Feb. 2I-(Special. The
recent order OF the State Board Of Re-
gents of the state university that no can
didate for office will be used in the flu
ture to deliver lectures under the auspices
OF the extension work Of the institution
Will act as a hardship on some candidates.
One of the reasons for the position taken
by the regents was in the fact that same
Of the lecturers failed to mention the
university in their talks. but simply
looked after their own interests as candi-
dates. For instance when Governor Shall
lcnberger was speaking iu q country town
a citizen congratulate him on his talk.
Il believe this extension work is a great
thing for the university said the citizen.
The governor blushed and stammered
and then accepted the congratulations.
He had failed to mention the university
in his talk. Were the regents TO continue
TO permit candidates for office to go forth
under the direction of the state university
II would mean much to them, not only In
the free advertising they would get. but
In the fact that their expenses would be
paid by the towns in which they appeared.
In fact, Governor Shallenberger Senator
Aldrich, Congressman Norris and others
who are announced candidates., it is re-
ported, have been delivering political
speeches, though advertised as representa-
tives of the state university. In each town
where they have appeared the citizens have
paid their expenses.
Bryan Also Under ban.
Another distinguished citizen who will
come under the ban il Mr.. Bryan. The
perpetual candidate will no longer be per-
mltted to tell Of his peculiar views to the
people of Nebraska as an agent of the
university.
III Mr.. Bryan is a candidate" said
Regent Anderson, 'he will not be permit
ted to speak under the auspices Of the ex-
tension work"
At this time It is not possible to learn
just how many speeches candidates for
office have made, because at the university
It was said the matter had not been checked
up, but that it could be told how much
time each OF the candidates had agreed to
give the state.
The following from j. L. McBrien gives
that Information:
Colonel w. j. Bryan, one week; Governor
HShallenberger, one month; Richard L. Met
calfe, one month; Senator Norris Brown,
one month; Senator r.. j. Burkett, one
month; w. r. Andrews, one month; Con-
gresham G. M. Hitchcock. Indefinite; Con-
gresham Norris, indefinite; Congressman
Mcguire, indefinite; r. D.. Sutherland. in

Ashton, indefinite.
While 1t was not possible to secure the
information regarding the number OF
speeches delivered by these candidates OF
would becandidates, at this time, Senator
Aldr1ch and Governor Shallenberger have
been dcvoting many days to the work" al
the expense of the citizens Of the towns
whore they speak, while Congressman
Norris is said to have delivered forty-five
speeches, or viii deliver that many.
In addition to the above, several in
structors of the state university have been
sent out ON the work. Under the rules OF
the regents, hereafter the lectures will be
delivered by persons who are not candl.
