Railroad Men.
(From q staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Neb, Nov. 1.-(Special.)-At a
big republican rally held at Haveloek to-
night @ II. Aldrich answered few OF the
many stories that have been set afloat
against him by his opponents.
Il IL being circulated around the state
that Mr. Aldrich had said the railroads say
that II freight rates are reduced then the
wages Of the railway employees must be
reduced. Mr. Aldrlch Ia quoted as having
said. That is all right, the railway EN-
ployes are paid too much In comparison
with other labor
Mr.. Aidrich nailed that story as being
absolutely untrue and circulated to injure
him with the railroad employees.
He denounced as maliolously untrue the
abatement attributed to him that he is op-
posed to employees OF railroads receiving
passes unless they have worked for three
years and then the employees only should
get passes.
Another story being circulated was that
Senator Aldrich had said when he wanted
20 talk TO railroad people he would talk
70 the officials and not the employes-that
he cared nothing for the employees.
This statement, like the others, he de-
nounced as being absolutely false.
Senator Burlett and VIII Hayward were
the other speakers and local candidates oc-
cupied seats upon the platform. The meet
ing was well attended and the mem
hers OF the Union Veterans Republican
club went out on a special car in body.

Trom a 500 correspOndent.l

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. L--(speoisi.l -seo.
rotary OF State Junkin and Arthur Mullen
brand-new attorney general, have had
their first clash, and Il came over the
first opinion OF the new attorney general
He said the name Of Mr.. Mortensen should
not 20 on the ballot as a candidate fol-
railway commissioner to fill a vacancy
Mr.. Junkin says the name shall so on the
ballot. So today he sent the following let
ter to the county clerks:
have been informed that Mr.. Arthur
Mullen the recently appointed attorney
general has given a decision to county
attorney, who, in turn, was asked by a
county clerk as to whether he should place
the name OF Peter Mortensen, as candi-
date by petition for railway commissioner
to I'LL vacancy, on the general election bal
lot, and In that decision Mr.. Mullen holds
that the name OF Mr.. Mortenaen should
not appear on the general election ballot.
/ took this matter up with that depart
ment before Mr. Mullen became the head,
and in an unwritten opinion was informed
that Il would be perfectly legal to have
Mr.. Mortensen's name appear upon the
ticket, as the law on this matter is some
what ambiguous, and in case there were
objections raised II could be tested out in
the courts and settled not only In this
case, but In any similar case that might
arise in the future.
I still Insist that Mr.. Mortsnsen's name
shall be placed on the general election bal
ol an a EhUu.uHlt lot IhAlhhF COIullllb-
siOner to I'LL vacancy by petition, and II
Is not a question whether Mr.. Mullen IL
right or / am right, but a matter for the
courts to decide.
More. Jobs for Governor.
BY the appointment Of Arthur Mullen a.
attorney general, Governor Shallenberger
secures conTtol Of two state boards, the
board OF health and the board Of irrigs-
ton, and thus he has the power to pro-
vide Jobs for more jobless democrats. The
state board of health, which is composed
OF the governor, attorney general and
state superintendent, has the power to
name the state health inspector, a place
now held by Or. w. II. Wilson, a repub-
lican. This office also has a stenographer.
The board Of irrigation is composed Of the
attorney general, the governor and the
land commissioner The secretary to this
board, however, Is democrat. There
is no intimation however, that the new
attorney general will insist upon making
any changes I'm any OF the places under
the control Of these two boards.

miles. She makes the round trip each day
except Sunday. thus making a journey Of
fifty miles each day for six lays in each
week.
On one occasion the ice broke under the
weight OF the horses and the combination
mail wagon and stage and horses, wagon,
driver and passengers broke through the
ice, For a time matters looked serious.
One Of the passengers was a Missouri man
and the other a woman. The Missourian

a experience he succeeded in
rescuing Miss Starkweather and the
woman passenger, carrying them in his
arms to dry land, after which he returned
IND after hard work succeeded in extr-
eating the horses and wagon from the lake.

such a position. Speaking Of politics in his

"0The Bohemians of Nebraska cannot be
caught with chaff such as is being put out
from Lincoln against Senator Burkett. They
know where he stands as between the In
sufgents and the regulars. They know that
he stands for Taft and his policies and
against Aldrich. Bohemian Burkett clubs
haye been organized in a score Of Ne
