SUPREME COURT
SAYS MOREHEAD
, IS A CANDIDATE
Settles Complicated Political
Fight by Ruling Former
Governor Has Right
On Ballot.

Lincoln, Neb. April s.-(Special.)
The state supreme court affirmed
today the right OF former Governor
John H. Morehead to have his name
on the democratic primary ballot as
candidate for governor. The court
thereby preeipitated one of the
most complicated political fights in
recent years.
Mo-ehead, long the political ally
aud beneficiary of Senator Hitch
cock, spent several months flirting
with both Hitchcock and Bryan
camps. Finally he announced he
would not be a candidate and the
Hitchcock filed Ralph A. Clark of
Stella. Next day Morehead filed and
the Supreme court ruled today that
his filing was legal. because he
started though not completed before
the final date.
Just where Morehead will land in
his attempt to get along without his
former friends is question second
in interest only to what use Charles
w. and William ]. Bryan will make
OF his candidacy. Politicians for
see an effort by the Bryants to
withdraw the remaining candidates
and center Bryan support on More
head, this despite bitter hostility to-
ward Morehead in previous years.
Such an alignment might defeat
Clark, it is realized, and the Bryan
determination is to defeat Hitch
cocks friends. regardless OF where
the chips fly.
Doubt is<expressed as to whether
w. J. Taylor, G. L. Shumway and
George Jackson will consent to their
own elimination in Morehead's S
favor. although one or more might
quit the race in favor of one of the
three. In the latter case, the CAM
paign might resolve itself into a

Iowa, After Being in Air
Four Hours-No Trouble
Experienced.

A safe landing was made at
Anita, Ia, at 3:45 yesterday after
noon by Judge Kenesaw Lands and
his party Of bafioonists who left
Fort Omaha at ll:40 yesterday
morning in a balloon flight.
Anita is about rs miles east OF
Council Bluffs: 1t is situated in
Cass county, about 10 miles east Of

the Rock Island.
Clad in Flying Togs.
Each member of the party was
clad from head to toe in fur-lined
flying garments to protect them
from the cold. No severe, hardship
was expected, according to Col.
Wuest, who predicted the balloon
would soon rise high enough above
the low-hanging snow clouds and
encounter bright sunshine and
higher temperatures than those re-
corded on the ground.
The balloon as it rose from the
field at Fort Omaha headed almost
directly northward. Colonel Wuest
yelled a CHEEKY. $50 long, boys"
and Judge Lands playfully waved
kisses at the crowd watching the
start of the fight, including Mrs.
Wuest, Mrs. Stevens and several

basket of the balloon he and his
comrades might reach AM altitude
even higher than the hnehe imposed

Dispatches from Wiesbaden, say
ing that General De Goutte's forces

immediate advance, but complete
readiness to move forward.

that, despite the assurance officially

number, amounts to an army OF 49,
600 men.
