LINCOLN, July 15.-(Speclal )-Senator
Phil Kohl of Wayne. president protein
OF the last senate. is in the city today
comforting with democratic leaders re-
gardlns his candidacy for the democratic
nomination for governor.
Should Governor Morehead make up
his mind the demand is such that he
should accept the nomination for a third
term, Senator Kohl will not be a candi-
data However, should the governor
absolutely refuse to allow his name to
be used In connection with a third term
for governor. Senator Kohl will get In
the race.
He said today he was receiving numer-
Gus letters urging him to come out, and
80 no came to Iincoln to see whether
the governor would make the race or
not. II is pretty well known that a third
term does not appeal TO the governor.

thing bat that.
State and Neutrality.
Has the state of Nebraska through
some Of It's institutions fractured the neu-
trality program Of President Wilson 10 a
question which should be looked into.
Yesterday two representatives of the
French government came to Lincoln and
bought about 100 head of horses to be
used IN the French army. They were
purchased At q sale held at the state
fair grounds. The company which rents
the buildings at the fair grounds for
sale purposes pays the fair association
n rental for the use of the buildings and
has done 20 for several years II was
of this company that the French officers
purchased tho horses. Therefore as the
State Fair association profits by the
rental Of the buildings TO a company
which sells horses to the allies. Is not
the state Of Nebraska breaking the neu-
trality laws fthe administration?
This may not bring on war between
Germany and Nebraska but II IL liable
to mako trouble for the peace plans of
William Jennings Bryan.
