LINCOLN. Nov. 25-(speciaL)-They
come and they go. They consult and re-
consult with the governor. but so far
it has not been given out who will draw
pay from the state the next two years.
The governors reception room is the
busiest place IN the whole state house.
Men Of prominence and others not so
prominent lnger and wonder what the
harvest will he.
Yesterday several of the newly elected
state officers. secretary Sprsgue of the
state committee Earl Gaddis and one or
two others prominent in the campaign
were consulting with the governor Cad
dis was tending door, and none but those
who fought nob!y in the late conflict
was allowed to pass the portals.
Three men in the campaign for demo-
cratic victory are conceded by oil TO be
worthy of great consideration by the gov
ernoT. These are Secretary Sprague of
the democratic state committee. who en-
gineered the campaign which landed five
democratic state officers and nonpart-
san democratic chief justice; Clarence
Hartman, who engineered Governor More
heads personal campaign, and Earl b.
Gaddis, who did the heavy work in the
publicity department at democratic head
quarters and to whose farseeng and Pc
culiar vision much of the success of the
campaign is due,
Glory Sufficient for Two.
But strangely, two of these worthy
patriots want nothing. so 1t Is said. 1t
has been glory enough for them-to have
seen their efforts rewarded, and they
tary Sprague is already on the state pay
roll as court reporter to Judge Corcoran
of the Fifth district. He wants nothing
more. Gaddis has been secretary of the
state tax commission the last two years
at salary of SIG a day. To the average
newspaperman like Gaddis this ought to
look like gold mine. but unfortunately
the legislature fixed time limit on the
number of days, aud sixty was all that
could be counted.
Cad" has managed to get in the sixty
days all right and many of his friends
can testify that he has drawn the pay by
numerous partlcipations in the results.
CLARENCE Hartman has been mentioned in
connection with the State Board of Con-
troll but he denies that he wants the
job. To The Bee, before the election,
Hartman said he was perfectly in love
with his present job as food and oil COM
missioner and had fairly got started. and
in the event of Governor Morehead's re-
election he would like to finish the work
he had begun and which he desired to see
carried out.
Some Hope for Cad"
So it is probable that these three po-

the insignia of that rank, will still be
found doing in the next two years what
they are dong now, with the exception
of Mr.. Gaddis, whose office expires when
the tax commission makes its report to
the legislature, unless the commission
should be continued, which there is some
talk of doing. In that case Mr.. Gaddis
may be found in the next two years as
in the last two, distributing sunshine
among his friends by reason of the
