TNOWILL OPPOSE
LAF()LLETIE
Whitehead and Jeffris, Both of James,

Senatorial Nomination.
(By United Press Association.


Madison, Wis, April 24.-Two can
didates for the republican nominal
ton for the United States senator 20
oppose Senator La Toilette will be
favored when the republican senatorial
convention meets in Madison, April
rs.
They are Senator John NJ. White
head and Malcolm G. Jeffris both from
GAINESVILLE. Both are avowed candi-
dates, and in this respect Will have a
natural advantage over those men who
have been mentioned that have not
said that they were candidates. Sen
ator George B. Hudnall of Superior
and Frank P. Hixon of La Crosse ha
been mentioned before the Janu7ty
convention in Madison, and S. A. Cook
Of Neenah since his consistent run in
the state as a candidate for delegate
to the national convention. Neither
Of these gentlemen, however, have
made any move towards securing the
nomination and any action toward
their nomination will come from per-
sonal friends in the convention.
Governor Philip, of course, has
been mentioned as a candidate for the
United States senate since his cleo
ton as governor. In spite of the gov
ernor's statement made months ago,
that he did not seek the nomination,
with a plain inference that he would
not accept it, this talk has been reviv-

tentative locations for good roads in
our state and another shows the pro-
posed locations for good roads all over
the United States.
Other states have done much to i'm
prove the condition of their roads

good churches, better schools and

ed since the delegate contest because
of the fact that he led all candidates
IN the number of votes received. This
talk was entirely without his author
ity, however. Those who are in po-
sition to know say that the governor
believes that his. place IN public life,
if he should remain there, is in the
state capitol, completing the program
which he laid out when he became gov
ernor.
Senator E. T. Fairchild of Milwau-
kee will call the convention to order
at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, and
a full attendance of the 10 dele
gates is expected.

influx of workers attracted by good
wages in the rubber factories that are
crowded with orders, Akron is in the
midst of house famine. Many fam

of vagrancy was to get them a place
to sleep. All were newcomers and had
jobs but couldn't find rooms.

easy and dignified climax in just six
teen lines. There is no chorus. Mrs.
Page penned the song with the idea
that it was wanted largely for class
exercises. She has composed music
for the song. The music, as well as
the words, is copyrighted. The song
follows:
''NEBRASr<A DEAR"
Nebraska dear! grand sweet song,
Is pulsing through thy praries
green;
And as the measures flow along
They sing the words, "Be clean, be
clean"
Thy rivers run in shallow beds,
The moving sands in colors must
Form strata, blending browns and
reds;
These shales resound, "Be just! be
just"
There trembles in the upper air
Of thy fair skies so clear and blue,
A song of mighty import rare,
The chorus rings, "Be true! be
truel"
And as thy fields, thy streams, thy
skies
But echo all our hearts revere;
By these in thee, there shall arise
The Perfect State, Nebraska Dear!

DELAY
One department Of the territorial government after
another passes the bucb when questions are asked
why month after month"; is rolling by without &C
ton Admittedly this is big project and project
filed with technical engineering difficulties as well
as with the legal difficulties involving assessments
ownership leases, etc. Yet more than year ago
announcement was made by the territorial govern
ment that plans we're ready, that bids would be cab
ed for that within measurable time reclamation
work would actually be started.
The public is patient Waikiki reclamation has
always been regarded more idealty than practi
cality. So the public has waited. Until patience
ceases to be virtue and watchfu waiting has been
shown as useless as the Mexican border.
We regard this is an instance where the terrific

and get the improvement going. or should make a
clear explanation of the REASONS and they must be
good reasons-wlIy il cannot be got going. That
much is overdue the public.
