(From a staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Jan. 1S.-Al-
though Governor Shalenberger has been
In Washington nearly two days he has
had no conference with Congressman
Hitchcock over the senatorial nomination
in Nebraska and it is doubtful whether
the two statesmen will have a chance to
the matter over before the governor re-
turns. Neither seemed anxious for con-
ference. Congressman Hitchcock was at
the New Willard hotel for some time
this morning, but he made no Inquiries
for the governor of his state and did not
see him when ne arrived to attend the
conference of governors. Mr.. Hitchcock
was engaged in conversation for a con-
siderable time with Governor Harmon of
Ohio.
Governor Shallenberger was much inter-
ested today in talking with other COVER
nors over the probable fate of the income
tax amendment, whose passage through
congress was secured last summer by
Senator Brown. Most of them assured
the Nebraska governor that they would
like to have the amendment ratified, while
some of the New England me stated their
agreement with Governor Hughes, who
is openly opposed to it's ratification.
That the amendment will be one of the
things included in the call for an extra
session of legislature was announced by
Governor Shalenberger He is seriously
considering making such a call. In fact
some of his friends said todady that he
has actually decided to issue call upon his
return to his state. In this call, he will
ask that the income tax amendment be
ratified by the Nebraska legislature at
once.
The governor will be candidate for
denomination as governor this fall and
will not mix up in the senatorial fight. At
| least he said he had about concluded to
run for governor. He did not think Mr..
/ Hitchcock would be the undisputed candi-
date for senator.
Thompson Will Run.
wv II. Thompson is going to be a can
dldate and he win stay in to the end" he
said Thompson will be a candidate even
if Mr.. Bryani should decide to run. 1t will
take primary to decide who is to be the
candidate. 1 understand w. B. Price of
Lincoln will be a candidate too. 1 think
there will be a primary for senator all
right. The old law copied exactly, ex-
cepting for punctuation, and 1 do not be-
lleve the court would throw senator out
of the primary just for that reason"
The governor is not certain whether an
appeal will be prosecuted in the bank
guaranty case He is awaiting the action
of the supreme court on the Oklahoma law
IL that is declared to be unconstitutional
it is probable an appeal will not be taken
in the Nebraska case, so intimately re-
lated are the two laws. Charles A. Towne
Is willing to take the case here If Messrs
| c. o. Whedon and 1. l.. Albert do moi
care TO go ahead with It. The governor
declared Whedon and Albert were entirely
satisfactory to him IL they stayed into the
case. He expressed his regret that the
Legislature had not made an appropriation
for carrying on prosecutions OF this sort
He cited a case in Colorado where the
governor has $3.50 for defending the laws
and prosecuting under them.
Nebraska Reception.

short time, at least.
