TREASURER HALL
SOME ADVERTISER

in State House.

Lincoln, June l8.-(Special.)-Is
State Treasurer George Hall a per-
manent fixture in the state house?
FOR the hrst two years OF his Of
.nclal career as treasurer, Mr.. Hall
allowed the offices to remain with the
old and much worn paper put on by
his republican predecessors. Carpets
full OF holes and otherwise the worse
Tor wear, remained upon the floor.
Now all is changed, Blight and
beautiful paper adorns the wall and
there is an indication of prosperity
on every hand. On the outside door
has been painted in letters SO plain
that the "wayfaring man though a
fool need NOT err therein,' the magic
words, George E. Hall, State Treas
urer."
Looks Like Fixture.
People wonder if this is an indi-
cation Mr.. Hall expects to continue
indefinitely as state treasurer of Ne
braska and that he has forgotten the
constitutional injunction -Four years
shall ye serve and no longer"
Some people say Mr.. Hall expects
to be candidate for the democratic
nomination for the United States SEN
ate against his old friend, Attorney
General Reed, and that the name up
on the door is simply keeping his
name before the public "lest we for
get"
When Governor Morehead was
chief executive he issued warning
against writing names on any part
of thesstate house and proclaimed
reward of SIS for information lead
ing to, the discovery of any individ-
ual WHO "defaced" and part of the
building by placing his name thereon.
Doors of Offices OF other state Of
hcials bear name of the offiye only.

forelock and has indicated he has
