DEMOS CASTING
ABOUT FOR TIMBER
Ex-senator Allen Quoted as Saying
Has Had Glory Enough
for Him.
CRoFToN MAN NO wMENTIoNED
From a staff Correspondent

From a staff Correspondent
! LINCOLN, Jan. 27.-(Specal.)-Th
name of DR.. Talcott Of Crofton, who Is
NOV member Of the State Pardon
board. is mentioned frequently for the
democratic nomination for governor. DR..
lTalcot served with considerable glory in
the 1918 session of the Nebraska house of
lords and Is considered an able man.
Allen Not Anxious.
Senator Allen Of Madison looks good TO
some, but the senator has been heard to
lsay that as United States senator he
achieved sufficient honors to last him for
the rest of his life and being governor OF
the state, while generally considered an
honor, would not add anything to the
glory OF a United States senator, and.
besides. It takes money to run for the
nomination, more money to run for the
detection II nominated and still great
IDEAL more to serve after winning the
detection, and as Senator Aliens wealth
will not quite measure up to that Of
Rockefeller or Carnegie, he does not
know whether he wants to be governor
Tor not
Running for the office is a small part
lof the game. 1t Is said that the man
who fill sthe office and lives in the big
mansion across the way fromthe state
icapitol spends more money than most
linen OF moderate means can afford.
Governor Sheldon was heard to say
latter his defeat that there was one salts
faction in defeat anyway, that he would
DE about 1850 ahead by being debated.
sheIdOn's Experience.
Governor Morehead has refused to &C
lcept anything from the state for the ex-
lpenses incident to being governor. outside
of the salary Of $500 per year. He has
travelled a great deal at his own expense
and II is said that the office will have
cost him considerably more than the
figures made by Governor Sheldon
Governor Aldrich says tina his family
tried to be as economical as possible and
passed up many tohings which as gov
ernor of tine state he ought to have I'M
dertaken, and yet i'm the two years he
> was governor he spent twice the amount
iof the salary
Salaries Too Low.
Speaking further on the matter. he said
that the peole of Nebraska should awaken
TO the conditions which were growiong
for it was beginning to be shown that
none but a man we'll fixed financially
may hope to aspire to any important Of
flee in the state in the gift of the people
These things with the general feeling
that there will be hard shedding for any
democrat who aspires to be elected to
state office this year, has a tendency to
make the nomination for governor at the
hands of the democratic party in Ne
braska anything but desired.

CAPTAIN IS A
SUICIDE when
HIS CREW DIES
Ice-locked British Ship-Hunger
and Exposure-Crew Insane
Three Survivors

Halifax, n. S., May 1.-How the
captain and crew of the British
steamship Suffolk, caught in the ice
in the White Sea on her way to
Archangel, shortly before Christmas,
suffered from cold, hunger and expo
sure which resulted in the death of all
but three men of a crew of q and the
suicide of the captain, who, maddened
by hunger and cold, shot himself, were
related here today by sailors of the
Newfoundland steamer Bellavsnture,
just in from Archangel.
Members of the crew Of the Bell
adventure, which has been in Russian
waters for more than a year, met and
talked with the three survivors of the
Suffolk. Only one, a Russian Finn, was
physically able to recount his adven-
lures. The other two were not ex-
pected to recover. The Suffolk, sup
posedly having a cargo of war sup
plies, was caught in the ice of the
White Sea with the first heavy freeze
before the holidays. Confident Of res
cue by ice breakers, only slight fears
were entertained at first Heavy
weather came, however, the Russian
Finn said, and finally not only food
but fuel to keep the men from freez-
ing was exhausted. The suffering
drove many insane and in this condi-
ton they succumbed. The captain,
crazed by the suffering Of his men
whom he was unable to aid and him
self exhausted and worn, committed
suicide.

do not intend to express myself as being
for or against any man.
LAS regards myself, / do not believe
that the delegates ought to nominate ms
at Chicago unless they are prepared
intellectually and without reserve to
make a fight along the lines above out
lined. am fighting for certain great
and vital principles. Those who take
their stand in such matter because of
factional or personal prejudice are either
lacking in patriotism or else are blind
to the tremendous forces at work the
world over. In the midst of a tragedy
without parallel in the worlds vision, the
work to be done is not that Of the poll
tician, but Of the patriot.
For that reason most earnestly hope
that the delegates who go to Chicago
will nominate some man on whom Repub-
licans and Progressives can combine and
who, moreover, can be heartily supported
by all independent citizens and particu-
larly by all Independent Democrats who
are loyal to the nationalism of Andrew
Jackson and who are prepared to put the
vital honor and interest of this nation
above all mere partisan considerations. I
hope they will choose man upon whom
all can unite and who, If elected. we can
be absolutely certain will put the prin-
ciples above set forth into actual effect
in the government Of the country"

He Worrlad the JUDGE.

10 VOVFuOo 1UO Su03Os
A story used to be told Of the elder
Judge Peckham, father Of the supreme
court Justice. In the early days Of den
tistry hickory plug was put into tho
cavity to I'LL the space where q tooth
ought to be. This plug had to be gen.
tly pounded into its desired position.
The old Judge was somewhat addicted
to strong language, and when the den
fist began his work the Judge INDUCED
in some classic comment. As the tap
ping Of the plug continued he threw all
dignity to the four winds of heaven
and his language became decidedly
more forcible than elegant" When.
however, he arose from the chair after
what seemed to him an interminable
period of agony he pulled out all. the
stops in his vocabulary for grand eli
max. The impression on his listener
seems to have been deep and lasting.
As the judge passed out the dentist
gr1mly remarked to waiting patient:
Wasn't It beautiful? It wasn't really
necessary to pound half SO long, but
did so enjoy his infection that almost
pounded the hickory plug into splinters.
Wonderful command Of language the
Judge has!'
