LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. l6.-(Special.)- y
Most everybody who has been maintain
ing political headquarters in Lincoln dur
ing the primary campaign has closed
the same or has practically done so. Sem
ator Kemp, republican candidate for the
nomination for governor. who has been
having headquarters at the Lndell ho-
tel, has concluded the work of the cam
paign. but will keep quarters open in
charge OF his stenographer until the
close OF the primary Tuesday. The sem
ator expects to continue his work Mon
day. though in what locality he has not
yet decided. and will return TO his home
In Fullerton Tuesday morning.
The work carried on by Governor
Morehead has practically ceased and his
headquarters were closed Friday night.
George w. Berge will hold open quar-
tiers, as his campaign has been mostly
carried on from his law offices here.
Other candidates have not made Lincoln
their headquarters.
Ammunition for Republicans.
Just what effect the latest manifesto
which Mr.. Berge has fired at Governor
Morehead win have on the outcome OF
the primary is not known, but II is the
general opinion that ne has furnished
republicans with some pretty strong
ammunition to fire at Morehead II he IL
nominated and at the same time MT
Berge has put himself in a position
where he cannot consistently expect
much help from the governor ard his
friends should the Lincoln attorney get
the nomination. But such Ia democratic
harmony and 1t is possible that the
black eyes and bruised political bodies
of the contestants may heal sufficiently
before the election so that the bruises
may not be discernible 90 the naked eye.
Hearing for Wilson.
c. ]. Wilson. the penitentiary guard
who asserts he lost his job because he
refused to donate to the governors cam
paign fund, but according to Warden
Fenton was discharged for selling shoes
to a convict, contrary to prison rules, will
have a hearing before the board OF con-
troll. In a letter to Wilson the board
lntimates that the whole deal was pulled
off for political effect and It refuses to
be party to any such scheme. No date
has been set for the hearing.
Burkey Very III.
H. ]. Burkey. state house carpenter an
old veteran, well known all over the state,
is very i'll at hospital in Lincoln. Just
what is the cause of his illness il not
known, but he has not been we'll for some
time and a breakdown had been predicted
by his close friends IL he did not give up
his work. He has continued to attend to
his duties and only gave up when he waA
compelled TO by his physical condition.
