LINCOLN, sept %.-tSpecial)-The
democratic state committee has practl-
cally given up hope OF electing candidates
for state offices below the head OF the
text and from now ON will concentrate
their efforts to electng Governor More
head, according to "a statement made by
Chairman Walter George Of tho republ-
can state committee this morning.
The unsettled condition in the demo-
cratic party and the fisht being made
upon the state committee by Edgar How
ara. OF the Columbus Telegram has had
the effect OF dscouraging the candidates
greatly said Chairman George. They
are doing lot - shouting to keep up the
spirits of the rank and file who really
don't care much whether the governor is
elected or not We get these reports from
all over the state. Candidly | don't think
the committee has much hope OF electing
the governor. There is being very little
done except by the governor and his APP
pointees who persist in claiming every
thing.
Republicans Wei Received,
"On the other hand the republican can.
didates are receiving good reception
everywhere We are having continual
calls FOR speakers. and every indication
goes to show that the PEOPLE of the state
have become tired of the professions Of
economy made by the democrats when
the records go to show that their prom
Uses OF economy turned into the worst
kind of extravaganza. Our candidate foy
governor is making votes every day. His
speeches so far have been received with
him and his associates on the state ticket
indicate but one thing, and that is that
they will all be elected.
Leaning ON Administration.
The appeal OF Governor Morehead to
the bankers, sent out in the nature of
personal letters indicates that the gov
enor himself feels that he is treading on
uncertain ground and he is pulling every
wire possible to save himself from de-
feat. The democratic committee ia get
ting out a circular in which they play up
pictures of President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan with the candidates in smaller
pictures around them. This is the old
democratic trick OF clouding the issue by
making a big noise for some big man who
is not running for office in order to help
the fellows who are running, who have
nothing to appeal to the voters on.
Need of Business Man.
But the people of Nebraska want TO
remember that the candidates on the
democratic ticket are running for state
offices and not national offices; that
Governor Morehead and the rest Of them
are doing the running and not Wilson
and Bryan. Right now in Nebraska we
are more interested in state taxes and
state affairs than in national affairs and
the republican candidates are standing
on their records as business men and not
On the records of somebody else. Ne
braska right now wants good business
men elected to office and the republican
party presents bunch OF candidates,
who can deliver the goods"

Rowden has found a new cook Com
mander Dave bought some eggs the other
day and some of them were not as fresh
as they should be. He called his cook
to account and was told that the eggs
were good enough, and that there was
no kick coming. AS result of the con-
troversy Dave is now after a cook who
can unscramble the eggs.
