Former Governor Says His Adminis-
trAtion Did All the Work to
BE Done.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept Especial )-Ex-
Governor, now Farmer" Shallenberger OF
Alma is in the city this week as the proud
exhibitor Of a herd of Shorthorns at the
state fair. Seen on the grounds today, he
ceased attentions on his bovines long
enough to express himself on some phases
of politics. Said he;
MANY OF my friends have been trying
to prevail upon me to change my course
and make the race again for governor.
They feel that by so doing could vindi-
cate my defeat Of year ago, and that In
addition 1 could lead the state ticket to
victory. As far as that is concerned, some
other democrat can guide the legions to
victory and 1 can vindicate my defeat
fully as we'll running for the United States
senate.
Further, II there was something left un-
dOne-somsthing that my administration
had left to still be desired by the people
I might be persuaded to again make the
race. But everything was finished up un-
der my administration. and all Of the prin-
ciples for which / fought were enacted into
law during my administration"

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 5.-(special.)-
James Wilson, secretary of agriculture be-
lieves that the University of Nebraska
should be consolidated with the agricultural
school on the campus at the state farm.
IF your town students would brush up
against what is being done out at the state
farm IL would mean directly that the state
Of Nebraska would be helped and benefited
by the contact" said he. This states
prosperity depends on its farmers, and the
more trained farmers you have the better
are going to be the agricultural returns
Of the state each year"
You have a law school up here and it's
grinding out lawyers to thrust upon the
people of this state when the demand is
four hundred TO one for farmers instead Of
attorneys. Get your students closer to the
soil and watch the state go upward by
leaps and bounds. 1t cannot help doing so"

treaty, he dealt exhaustively with farming
conditions. wages and climatic advantages

cultural products, aside from the great GER
