Rest Of Holcomb S Term
From a Staff Correspondent.


Lincoln, Neb.. Feb. l4.-(Special)
Il. F. Langhorst of Elmwood,
former chairman OF the democratic
state committee, who belongs to the
wing of the party which bottled Gov
vernon Neville in the campaign last
year and supported a part of the re-
publican state ticket, is now being
mentioned as the possible choice of
Governor McKelvie to succeed Com
missioner S. A, Holcomb on the
board Of control.
Mr. Langhorst came to Lincoln
Just after Holcombs resignation was
announced from the governors Of
flee. He was asked about the re-
port that he might be named on the
board of control, and said;
Some of the fellows have talked
to me about it, but really l don't
know what will happen"
The constitution and the state law
require the governor to appoint a
democrat to succeed Holcomb, as
the holdover member, Mr.. Mayfield
is republican and so is Mr.. Allyn,
named by the governor and con-
firmed by the state senate 10 take
Commissioner Gerdes' place next

PORTER FIGHTS
BILL TO PUT BAN
UPON RED FLAG
Douglas County Member De-
CIareS Such Laws Useless
and Stands Alone in
Opposition to 1t.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. l4.-With but oQI
dissenting vote, the house, in com
mittee Of the whole today recon-
mended The engrossment for passage
of the bill Of Representative Berka
of Douglas, prohibiting the posses
sion or display Of red or black flags
in the state of Nebraska, except for
use as signals.
Porter of Douglas. who describes
politically, as a radical republican,
not only voted against the bill, but
also spoke against it.
He informed the members of the
house there was a group Of intel
lectual socialists who were pathetic
and loyal to the country, yet who
recognlzed~the red flag as a symbol
of protest and they should not be
barred from displaying the emblem
because il was also the sanguinary
symbol OF the anarchist.
Apologies for Porter.
"you might as we'll try to shoot
crocodiles with a popgun as pass a
law of this kind" said he. Laws
Of this nature have been passed in
other Stats and the adherents OF the
radical IDEAS have gotten around it
by wearing red neckties and red
waists. Fight the idea and the en-
bler1 will take care of itself"
Reynolds of Douglas. apologized
for the stand taken by Porter in be-
half of the Douglas county delega-
ton and said there was room in this
country for only one banner.
Berka, introducer of the bill, made
an imprisoned speech in defense OF
the flag. He said there was room
for only one emblem in this coun-
try, and by popular conception the
red flag stood for anarchy and the
~black flag for piracy and there could
be no differentiation in regard to
those who accepted the red flag as
their emblem.
Porter Against Bill.
Porter demanded of Allen of
Gage, who was in the chair that he
be permitted TO explain that he had
cast no aspersions on the flag Of the
United States and was not disloy-
al.
A call was made for a vote and
all voted. for the engrossment of the
bill with the exception of Porter,
whose voice was heard amid the
daad silence of aynecfaucv
The bill provides that no emblem,
pennant, picture or device of any
flag, save that of the United States,
friendly allies, college pennants,
etc, can be displayed or in the pos
session Of any person as symbols
and persons violating the law will
be subject to fine of $1,000 or
subject to Imprisonment in the peni-
tertiary for a term of FIVE years.
