Governor Morehead will neither he
a candidate to succeed himself in the
gubernatorial office. nor will he run

Hitchcock in the democratic primaries.
Likewise. he will not enter the race
for congress in the First District. This
is said to be the governors final word
in response to the pressure which has
been coming from different directions
to induce him to be a candidate for
one place or another. Close friends
OF the Nebraska executive say they
are sure that Mr.. Morehead has his
mind made up, and that he will retire
from office at the close Of his present
term. They expect that he will return
to Falls City and devote himself, as
before. to business pursuits and look
ing after his extensive interests In
farm and fruit lands.
