(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May %.—(Special,)—While democratic politicians have been figuring on & combination of Shallenberger for gov- ernor and W H. Thompson of Grand Island for United States senator, Richard L. Metcalfe for senator, Mayor Dahlman for governor, or Victor Wilson for governor and Shallenberger for senator, and a haif dozen other candidates in their effort to settle their Internal affairs without any fuss and without having to sacrifice Mr. Bryan, there is one name which has not vet been mentioned. He is the man who on one occasion defeated Shallenberger for & nomination for governor; who felt the cold steel of the double-cross two years later; who was once the candidate of two parties for governor and who on a second occasion, and then on a third occasion, was turned down by the democratic party; he s the man who has a personal followin in the party which every candidate so far mentioned will have to figure on before being successful. This man whom the democrats have been keeping in the back- ground—that fs, the democratic leaders— is George W. Berge, he of anti-pass fame. He still carries with him the scars of the battle in which democracy’s leaders threw the jagged cross into his body. George W. Berge 18 to be reckoned with in the coming senatorial scrap among the democrats. At this time Mr. Berge, when asked the direct question when he would be a candidate for the senate, shook his head and replied: “T have spent some monye in politics and lots of time. I am now trying to practice law and attend to my private business. Be- sides, it is too early to discuss candidates for the senate.’” But Mr. Berge did not say he would be a candidate If the time looked good next spring. He just didn’t like to talk about it. It might be the question brought up in his mnd some unpleasant recollections. Tt might have recalled to him the fact that, though, he has been the bell wether that led the popuulists into the democratic eamp—he and Tom Tibble—and both have folt the “sting of ingratitude,” of the lead- ers of that partyl. But anvhow friends of eGorge W. Berge will see to it that he cuts some ice in the matter of the selection of a democratic candidate for the senate. And it is a pre- diction to make that if Boss Bryan keeps his hands off and does not take him the the nomination, Mr. Berge will be shoved into the race. In the meantime Tom Allen has not vet announced the name of the three candi- dates for the supreme court which Mr. Bryan will permit to run. Judge Dean has on his petition the signatures of Judge Holcombd and Judge Sullivan who tried to get his calp when he was a candidate for appointment. Governor's Expense Account. While Governor Shallenberger has been criticised somewhat for spending so much money for mileage books—some $500 since he became the state's chief executive—he has good and sufficient reason for his actions. When he retired from office Gov- ernor Sheidon left out of his appropriation, in the traveling expense fund, $51.85, This money would lapse into the treasury the last of August. Governor Shallenberger has spent only that money which would have gone back into the treasury. The mileage books he has hought may last him for the entire two vears which he will serve as governor. The public will then be brought face to face with the fact that Governor Shallenberger has left In his traveling expense fund, $1,000, the amount the legislature appropriated. Of course, an inspection of the records will show that Governor Shallenberger spent the money left on hand by Governor Bheldon for traveling expenses, but it will be a nice showing to make it appear that the chief executive has spent mothing of his own appropriation for traveling. Gov- ernor Sheldon had $1.500 appropriated for his traveling expenses and the last legis- lature appropriated §100 for Governog Shallenberger, which will make altogether $1.651.3% for thp present executive Voucher No. 62,863, on file in the office of the state auditor, which is a claim for $200 for mileage books bought by the gov- ernor ffom the Burlington, bears this state- ment signed by George Junkin, secretary of state: “This voucher looks a little out of the proper course of business to me, but inas- much as the governor has full knowledge of the same, I do not feel that it is my duty to hold it up.” Secretaries Pick Three. The state Board of Becretaries of the state Board of eHalth recommended for the health inspector the following physi- clans: W. H. Wilson, present health in- spector; F. B. Richter and 8. C. Grimes, all of Lincoln. The governor may select the ehalth inspector from these recom- mended or he may ask the board to make turther endoreem ents. Governor's “‘Tailless” Cattle.
