Wi Sidelights and Methods of Candidates and University Extension. BUAi GIVES GOVERNOR PLAYS CUTE TRICK [ AR by Department and D Speech Falls Once to Refer to Extension Work. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCVOLN, Feb. 21.—(Special.)—The recent order of the State Board of Re- gents of the State university that no can- didate for office will be used in the fu-| ture to delfver lectures under the auspices of the extension work of the institution will act as a hardship on some candidates One of the reasons for the position taken by the regents was in the fact that same of the lecturers falled to mention the university fm their talks, but simply looked after their ow rests as candi- dates. For ins' when Governor Shal- lenberger was « country town | A citizen congratn im on his talk. ‘1 belleve this ¢x slon work is a great thing for the unive sald the citizen, | The governor blushed and stammered and thet accepted the congratulations. He had failed to mention the university | in his talk. Were the regents to continue to peffnlt candidates for office to go forth under the direction of the state university it would mean much to them, not o in the free advertising they would get, but In the fact that their expenses would be pald by the towna in which they appeared In fact, llenberger, Senator Aldrieh, Congressman Norris and others who are announced candidates, it is re- ported, have been dellvering political speeches, thonugh advertised as representa- tives of the state university. In each town where they have appeared the citizens have pald their expenses. overnor S| Bryan Also Under Ban. Another distinguished citizen who will come under the ban i Mr. Bryan. The perpetual candidate will no longer be per- mitted to te)l of his pecullar views to the people of Nebraska as an’agent of the university. | “It Mr. Bryan is a . candidate” said | Regent Anderson, “he will not be permit- | ted to speak under the auspices of the ex- tenston work." At this time it ‘s mot possible to learn just how many speeches candldates for office have made, because at the university 1t was said the matter had not been checked up, but that it could be told how much time ®sach of the cdndidates had agreed to | kive the state. The following from J that information Colohel W. J. Bryan, one week; Governor \’\hllh-l\h(-rlax'. one month; Richard L. Met- calfe, one month; Senator Norris Brown, ©ne month; Senator B. J. Burket i W. E. Andrews, one month; kressman G. M. Hitchcock, indefinite; Con- gressman Norris, indefinite; Congressman Maguire, indefinite; R. D. Sutherland, in- definite; Senntor Aldrich, indefinite; Fred Ashton, indefinite. While It was not possible to secure the Information regarding the number of speeches delivered by these candidates or | Would~ becandidates, at this time, Senator Aldich and Governor Shallenberger have ‘boen’ devoting many days to the “work’ at the expense of the citizens of the towns where they speak, while Congressman Norels Is said to baye delivered forty-five speetited, or will delfver that many. In addition to' the above, several in-| structors of the state university have been #ent out an the work. Under the rules of | the regents, hereafter the lectures will be livered by persons who are not candl- aten office, Clty Charter Again, The special clllr('fl' committee appointed by thi general comimittee to draft the pro- posed charter for the city along the lines suggested by the ggneral committee is busy at work on its job, It Is' proposed to have the clty managed | by 'a mayor and five counciimen, all elected | at large. ‘The mayor is to be paid at the | rate of 8600 a vear and the counclimen are to’ serve ‘for mothing. No power of Veto 18 vested In the mayor, but by a vote of foir anything the mayor proposes may be overruled. All other city officlals are to b6 appointed by the mayor and counci, four votes being necessary to make a selec- tion. The mayor has the power to remove L. McBrien gives for URDER | THE BEE OMAHA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22 1910, Nebraska 'y one from office, but the party removed has the right of appeal to the council and the mayor may be overruled by a vote of four against him. The idea of the committee, sald Dr. Win- nett of the general committee, is to get a charter which will provide for the govern- ment of the city along the same lines as & corporation is governed pr managed. Demurrage Rules Adopted. The raliway commission has been notified that the ‘Western Demurrage assoclation has adopted the demurrage rules recom- mended by the rallway commission in thelr general meeting at Washington and later by the Interstate Commerce commissfon. The rules will become effective in Ne- braska May 1. The rules will apply only to interstate business and will not affect the Nebraska laws which govern local shipments. When Domocrats Fall Out, B. O. Garrett, who was democracy's cholce for lleutenant governor & year ago, had this to say when discussing the action of oGvernor Shallenberger, who was with him on the ticket, in charging the removal of Principal Crabtree to republican poll- tics: “Arthur Mullén, who drew the bill which provided for members of the normal board, handed the bill to me with this remark: *“That bill will remove more republicans from office than any measure that has yet been thought of or ever was thought ot " Some Left Out. That someone overdid the business when the democratic banquet was packed for Governor Shallenberger and the speakers’ list was confined to the big four is more apparent every day. Dan Stephens, who for a number of years has cut some lce democratic politics, was so cut up over the angements that he left the city at § o'clock in the afternoon and did not, there- fore, remain to the feed and talks. Stephens was not the only one who left, however. Chris Gruenther, who organized the state for Shallenberger, and more than any other manager brought around his election, got enough of it by & o'clock and he, too, left. These two watched very carefully the maneuvering of the afternoon and knew in advance what was going to happen. The talk that Stephens is going to run for the senate has some foundation. It is told on good authority that Stephens Is very much undecided on two propositions now open to him. Congressman aLtta, %o it is said, has agreed to get out of the way at the close of his next term if re-elected and support Stephens for congress. Stephens looks well on this, but fears that B. R. Guerney of Fremont, his personal friend, may want the job then and he would dislike to go against him, That leaves the senate, which Is a big and broad field. So if no announcement is forthcoming for the senate, then it may bo assumed that Mr. Stephens has decided to wait for Mr. Latta’s shoes. That would seem to postpone indefinitely the fulliliment of the ambitions of Edgar : Howard. State May Intervene. Attorney General Thompson may inter- vene in the Missouri rate cases which are now pending in the federal court, though this afternoon he had not fully decided the matter. It is possible he may merely file a brief as a friend of the court. The legal department of state recefved a joul by reason of the decision of a federal court handed down in Oklahoma, which was against the contention of Mr. Thomp- son’in the matter of thé gpportionment of income and operating expenses between state and Interstate business. Mr. Thompson has evidence that he be- lieves some of the other states with similar litigation do not possess. So he may file the brief in order to assist In preventing an opinion which may be detrimental to his own case. As evidence that Nebraska does not have apportioned to it the share of the revenue on business to which it is entitled the following was cited In the recent evidence taken here: The earnings on a car of butter and eggs from Fairbury to Omaha was $66; on the same train was a car of butter and eggs destined for Chicago. The Nebraska earnings on that car amounted to only $22. Another example cited was this: From Plymouth to Omaha is 10 miles; from Omaha to Chicago 500 miles. The rate on corn to Omaha from Plymouth is § cents and from Omgha to Chicago 12 cents.
