LINCOLN, Oct. T-(Special. THE quiet
OF the campaign, which has been carried
on with hardly ripple, was somewhat
fractured yesterday when Governor
Morehead, candidate for reelection on
the democratic ticket. and State Treas
urer George chairman OF the republican
state committee met in a local hotel and
accused each other OF being the repre-
sentatives of the corporations.
The incident was brought about by the
alleged publication of a statement by
Colonel George that Governor Morehead
was being backed by corporation influ-
ences. Governor Morehead called the
chairman of the republican committee to
task in somewhat vigorous language for
the article and intimated that the demo-
cratic party was not allied with the cor
porations, now or at any other time.
Governor wrathy.
II is said that the governor used some
cuss words in an effort to arouse the ire
of the state treasurer, but Colonel George
only smiled and volunteered the informa-
ton that he could back up his state
1nents and could pull off a few more If
necessary.
1t Is said that the governor volunteered
the statement that he had a few things
up his sleeve that he could turn loose
and dared the chairman to come across.
1t is said, that the latter dared back,
and, while nobody fractured any village
ordinances few statements are likely
10 be made before the campaign is over.
"Met" Coming Back.
The democratic state committee has
been advised that Richard is himself
again and that Mr.. Metcalfe will be In
Nebraska next Monday to take hold of
the campaign and from that time on
make things lively. It is not given out
whether the committee will stand the ex-
penses of Sir Richard travelling over the
state in an effort to save the party or
whether it win come out Of that $4,000
which Mr.. Metcalfe is drawing.
