LINCOLN, Neb.. Feb. I2-(Special. y
Governor Aldrich has returned from his
trip to Chicago. where he attended a
conference Of governors favorable to the
candidacy of former President Roose-
welt. He appears to be satisfied over the
outlook. but from few remarks dropped
il is evident Governor Hadley Of Mis-
souri, and other governors did not hitch
very well.
The sessions were executive, but the
governor intimated there was an opinion
that Hadley wanted to run the whole
thing and there were several others there
who desired to have something to say.
the result being several clashes, Hadley
is credited with having an ambition to
be the vice presidential candidate on a
Roosevelt ticket and it is intimated his
is not the only similar ambition harbored
about western executive mansions.
AIdrich Not Hunting Ii.

boom drew a mention today in the form
of a telegram from the Chicago Inter

Bryan Men Are Sore.
Sentiment Of local democrats concern
ing the attack by Congressman Dies Of
Texas on William J. Bryan is con-
siderably divided. Those who oppose
Bryan. particularly the friends of Har-
mon, are compllmenting the Texan. while
the followers Of Bryan are by no means
united in condemning the attack. Many
OF them assert that while they like Bryan
and endorse most Of his policies. they
appreciate that the former presidential
candidate has a dctatorial manner
which is not pleasant and in fact very
often offensive.
Says one: The principal trouble with
Bryan is that there is no question in his
mind that he is always right and every
one who disagrees with him is not only
necessarily wrong, but that he is actuated
by some Interior motive. His intolerance
