LINCOLN. oct. tSpcCialD-Thc man
who can conjure some method which will
put a little excitement in the political
campaign, other than that shown by the
candidates themselves. will find the glad
hand extended out to him by the different
state committees striving to elect their
candidates.
Up to date no great enthusiasm is being
shown; at democratic headquarters at the
Lincoln hotel the depression is especially
marked Few politicians or anybody else
seem TO be hanging around in search %
inspiration. Secretary sprague In charge
is endeavoring TO make a fight, but so
far his help has been confined to three
young women attending TO the usual
duties around a political headquarters
Lack OF funds to carry on the campaign
seems to be the cry III the corporations
are back OF u.s." said Secretary Sprague
! this morning, they are sadly backward
! in furnishing the oil always needed to
make a political campaign move along
nicely and without friction"
At republican headquarters at the Lin
| dell things seem to be little more lively
although a lack OF funds is also the COM
! plant. Chairman George has large
bunch of helpers and is keeping them all
busy. Five young women and five male
assistants are helping the chairman get
| out the literature.
At bull moose headquarters at the LIN
| dell. Manager Corrick has the assistance
| Of two young women with whose help
he is carrying on the campaign, although
| like the others, he claims that the money
does not come in as fast as he would like
TO see it.
However there is one state headquar-
| tiers with signs of life, also at the Lin
| dell hotel. where card over the door
proclaims that the women are doing the
work. No men are allowed to linger very
long at suffrage headquarters. There
must be some financial backing coming
| from somewhere for speakers are plenty,
automobiles are going and coming, most
Of the time and II these do not have to
/ be paid for the women at least show a
] faculty OF making the men furnish the
| motive power.
| Il has got to that stage in the campaign
! where rumors are beginning to float
/ around. over at democratic headquar-
( tiers the talk is that Representative J. il.
! Mockett of Lincoln is to be appointed in
| surance commissioner in the event of
Howelrs election. At republican head
| quarters they say Governor Morehead
is going to appoint Clarence Hartman to
place on the board OF control. At bull
moose headquarters Corrick hints a whole
! lot that neither republicans nor democrats
will have any Jobs to parcel out.
| At suffrage headquarters the talking
| ic continuous and of wide scope, Miss
Jane Thompson, a prominent suffrage
worker last night spoke on the street to
a goodly crowd. Tomorrow Miss Jana
Adams will deliver an address or two
in the interests of the suffrage move
| ment.
| However, the women while making lots
OF noise refuse to make any predictions
beyond claiming success OF the movement
at the coming election. They expect to
carry Lancaster county, but will make no
guess as TO the majority.
