He continued: “As 10 the great essentials of good §o ernment, good people nearly all agree, de- manding of those who seek the highest stations, unblemished honesty, skilled in- telligence and proved patriotism.

Shallenberger Urges Francis for President Nebraska’s Governor Forsakes State’ Champion and is Looking About for New Candidate. ‘NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. l-(Special Telegram.)—Governor Shallenberger of Ne- braska started quite a sensation at,a ban- quet which was held aboard the steamboat Alton in honer of President Taft while the fleet was proceeding down the river on | Friday night, the facts of which only leaked out today. In an addrecs Governor Shallenberger stated that David R. Francis of Missourl | {s the best fitted man for the nomination | of the democratic party In the next na- tional election, and today the politicians in town are talking of the subject and say that Shallenberger's words should be taken with reckoning. There was some surprise that Governor Shallenberger should make such a declaration when Mr. Bryan himself has not fully set aside the possibility of a nomination himself. The point is made in favor of Mr. Francis by his admirers that even though not in full sympathy with Mr. Bryan's policies, whom it {8 thought will have something to date, he never joined in denunciation of the Nebraskan and last time worked faithtully for his election, stumping the state for him.

With the closing of the local campalgn in Douglas county, it has become very evident that the democratic leaders have determined to center a desperate effort for the coroner.
