abandonment Of all others on the demo
cratic ticket ror the purpose Of pulling Gil
bert NJ Hitchcock out OF his hartley
shortage hole It has been judge Howard's
fond belief that the democratic party IN
Nebraska was trying to elect it's state
ticket but he is now convinced that the
state committee has determined TO let
everything else so by default in a des
perate effort to save the candidate for
United States senate who has been so ir-
retrieVably connected with the lootinR OF
the Nebraska state treasury. II Is in
conceivable, according TO the Judge, that
the interests OF all the other candidates
should be sidetracked to give right-ot-way
TO tho late partner OF Joe hartley, but
such now seems 90 be tho case.
In discussing this phase OF the question
| today, Judge Howard said;
In the newspaper published by q. NJ
Hitchcock, partner OF Joseph s. BARLEY
in the state treasury shortage, there ap-
peared Monday morning many columns Of
quotations from the country press of Me-
braska, all tending to show that Candidate
| Hitchcock did no wrong when he helped
state Treasurer BARLEY create the half
million dollar shortage IN the treasury
- remarkable feature OF this display OF
fulsome eulogy Of Mr.. Bartleys partner in
the state treasury shortage is the fact that
more than thirty OF the democratic news
papers which are boosting Hitchcock SO
hard have openly repud ated Mayor Dahl
man and are doing all possible to defeat
MIR. Dahlman and elect Mr., Aidrch.
No Help for Mayor jim.
1T is also just a little bit remarkable
that the democratic state committee has
never raised a hand to punish one OF those
democratic editors who has bolted the
nomination Of Mayor Dahlman. but the
entire power OF the state committed wac
instantly brought to boaf. aeainst .lnc
when bolted tie nomination Of Nr. Hitch
cock. the partner Of Joseph s. hartley In
the state treasury shortage.
