WAIT FOR HALL TO SPEAK
Democrats Who Are Pushing Him
for Governor Hope He Will
Fill Great Gap.
DOES NOT GIVE OUT HIS PLANS

LINCOLN, Aug. 1s.-(Special)-
Gratis around IAncoin have taken courage
now that an effort Is being made 70 draft
Or. p. l.. Hall as the democratic candl-
date for governor. Those who have been
much disturbed over the split-up condi-
ton OF the unterrified forces appear to
think that DR.. Hall can bring all the
kicking ones together and make them for
get the cussing they have been giving
william J.. Charles w. Bryan, Gilbert
Hitchcock. Governor Morehead. State
Treasurer Hall and the rest of the fell
lows who have not seen fit to walk In
the straight and narrow democratic path
which leads to democratic glory.
But DR.. Hall Is mighty close-mouthed
on the subject. He lie to give a talk at a
democratic "get-to-together" meeting at
the Lnden hotel next Saturday night,
and the falterlng ones are holding their
breath in hopes that the national commit
teeman will say, II accept"
However. DR.. Hall is no spring chicken
In politics. He does not need a telescope
to observe the dog eat dog condition
which exists among his democratic
brethren. With the party split from tail
senatorship, he knows that II he gets tho
nomination he will be compelled to take
one side or the other OF the controversy
and that will simply mean goodbye to the
governorship. He also knows that Charlie
Bryan has his eve on that nomination.
The doctor has been pretty lucky so far
in keeping the Bryan and the Hitchcock
factions all friendly with him, simply be-
cause he has stayed out of the fights
but he knows that to oppose the Wishes
of Brother Charlie or his brother means
committing the objectionable political
sin, and without their support one cannot
hope to pull through for the governor
ship job or any other place on the demo-
cratic ticket.
DR.. Hall has been wise enough in his
political career not to accept democratic
nominations for anything that anybody
else wanted and so he has been able to
keep strangle hold on the affections
Of Nebraska democrats. The question
now is whether he will allow the political
seers to inveigle him into taking a nom
nation in an effort to stem a defeat that
is apparent to even the most sanguine
is inevitable.

BENSON BOND DEAL
SLIGHTLY EXPENSIVE
CFrom a Staff Correspondents

LINCOLN. Aug. 19.-(Special.) -Secre-
tary of State Pool has refused to sign
an affidavit that the s25.Oo0 bonds voted
by the village of Benson have been reg
istered in his office.
He has discovered that the Jackson
la- known at the time of its passage in
1913 as house roll $40. was never in cor
porated in the statutes. This in the mind
of the secretary of state makes 1t a
question whether the law which required
him to make such certificate is valid OF
net.
The Benson bonds bear per cent inter
est and were sold to outside parties with
out the state being given chance to
bid on them. The state would have been
glad to have taken the bonds SO that the
people of Benson would have had to pay
but per cent AS the deal went through
the $4,000 bonds bear 6 per cent and a
premium Of s1,5O0 was paid for them. AS
the bonds run twenty years It will mean
that the people of Benson are giving
someone a neat little profit of $500 on
the deal, which could have been saved II
the state had been given a Chance to bid.

MURPHY BACK TO
STATES PRISON
Governor Morehead Revokes Parole
Given Young Man from
Cherry County.
HAD BEEN IN STOLEN AUTO
CFrom a Staff Correspondents

(Frop a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Aug. 1s.-(Special.) -Kenneth
Murphy, the young man who was con-
victed of the murder of Charles Sellers
in Cherry county and given a life SEN
tence. will remain in the penitentiary
the rest of his natural life. Governor
Morehead. who about two years ago took
pity on the lad and gave him a furlough,
revoked the furlough and returned him
to that institution this morning.
Murphy and three other young men
resolved to give Sellers a lesson be-
cause the latter had been too persistent
IN his attentions 20 a sister OF Murphy,
and took him out one morning and
strung him up to a tree in Cherry county.
He never bothered the girl again for the
"lesson'' resulted in his death. Murphy
was tried and given a life sentence.
Urged TO Take step.
Soon after his arrival at the state peni-
Tertiary Governor Morehead was be-
sIeged by a number of prison reformers
who persisted that the young man should
be given a chance. They told the ex-
ecutive that Murphy would educate him
self and be good the rest OF his life. The
governor gave Murphy a furloueh pend
ing good behavior.
The young man. with the help OF the
friends who had besieged the governor,
got Job and applied to the state uni
lversity for admission. Chancellor Avery
did not believe It for the best interests
OF the institution that convict be al
lowed TO mingle with the other students
and refused him admission. However.
the authorities at the Wesleyan Meth
odist university at University Place took
pity on the lad and allowed him to
attend that institution.
Was tn stolen Auto.
For more than a year Lincoln has been
infested with gang of boys who have
been stealing automobiles. Several ar
rests have been made and the lads let
go on promise OF good behavior, but the
thieving has been going on with re-
newed vigor. Last Tuesday two young
paroled convicts were captured after they
had stolen an automobile. Investigation
disclosed they had been in the habit OF
taking the machines for some time and
taking girls for Joy rides. The theft
of the last one disclosed that Murphy
was with them in the machine which was
last stolen, although he says he left them
after discovering that the machine had
been stolen. However, this Is disputed.
MOrehead Disgusted.
Governor Morehead is very much dis
gusted with the whole deal. It is under
stood that he is very much put out that
the yong man whom he had given n
chance. and had been roundly criticized
for doing 30, should be so unappreciative
of the effort. Some of the parties who
had been insistent for Murphy's parole
called on the governor this morning and
insisted that the boy should not be
gent back to the pen. The governor was
bbdurate and intimated that as he had
given the man a chance and Murphy
had not appreciated 1t, he could go back
and take the rest Of bis life TO think II
over.
