I Nebraska I DEMOCRATS HUNT IN VAIN FOR MOSES Unable, Look Wht»re They Will, to Discover State Leader at This Trying Time. 18 BECO;(ING WIDER SPLIT (From a Staff Correspondent.) ' LINCOLN, Jan special.)—Won't aome good democrat please step forward and offer himself upon the altar of poli- and give himself as a sacrifice for the This is the cry going up on every hand where democrats gather and was faithful who gathered here today. The man who has the courage to step for- ward must be a perfect man. It will not do for him to have any flaws in his makeup. He must be a wet man with dry proclivities or a dry man with wet proclivities; he must be for Hitchcock and also for Mr. Bryan; he must be for peace and also for preparedness, for only such a man can hope to receive the united vote of a badly demoralized though once powerful party Bryan Opposed i It was thought a fow weeks ago that Dr. P. L. Hall could qualify under those requirements, but two things stood in the way One was that the doctor utterly refused to toe the line and the other was that Mr. Bryan announced that he could not recefve the Bryan support. Fither would have put any man to the bad, but when the two together loomed Diogenes once more started out with his Rerecently the cry went out that he had been found in the person of a Lf- coln business man, but when the political council gathered at least two flaws were discovered in his supposedly perfect armor and another idol was smashed. State officers recognize that the demo- cratic nomination for governor is liable to go by default and with no one to lead the party their chances for will be greatly harmed. George Hal] Barred. with considerable interest the way in which State Treasurer George llall has stood up for the law and the constitution suggested that perhaps Hall might be the political Moses to save the party, but he was promptly informed with considerable joy by a democrat who has not been in eympathy with the treasurer’s “‘stubborn- ness” that the statutes prohibited the state tsreasurer from being a candidate for governor during his term of office as treasurer. Attorney General Willis E. Reed has been quoted as saying that were it not for the “abominable statutes”” he would be just the man to fit into the situation and lead the party in an attempt to dupli- cate the stunt of the ‘“Noble Six Hun- dred” of history. No, Not Mayor Sryan! S0 there you are. Suggestions that the nomination might go by default are met with gloomy shakes of heads and the thing appears to be shaping itself either into that or toward the nomination of Mayor Charles Bryan. Of course there is still Edgar Howard and J. 8. Canaday of Minden left, but neither of these looks good to tne demo- crat who takes a little for his stomach's sake. Both of these men are just as dry as Mayor Bryan and nothing looks good to most of the fellows who are now in the saddle if it is attached to the water wagon. The situation from a democratic stand- point is Very serious and getting more o all the time. FRED E. BODIE BUYS INTO TECUMSEH BANK TECUMSEH, Neb., Jan. 7.—(Special.)— J. O. Graf has sold his interests in the Citizens Fred E. Bodie. Mr. Bodie has assumed the management of the bank. He now owns a controlling interest.

When Senator Newlands was stating that the tieing up of German ships was partly responsible, Senator L Gorman in- quired if he considered in that connec- tion that 200 neutral vessels had been taken from commerce because of Britisn orders in council, rightly designated by the State department to be in violation of all international law. “It s not true that the trade has been deprived of 200 neutral vessels,” declared Senator Nelson. ‘Many neutral ships may have been taken into port by Great Britain, but only for temporary deliv during search for contraband. What has taken freight ships off th ocean are Ger- |man submarines that have been blowifg up freighters.” i sald the 200 vessels had been held held up for months. Debate on the Walgh resolution was not concluded and will | resumed tomorrow.

GET IT FIRST--NOT I.AST When a cold grips your system it is convincing proof that your gondition is weakened—remember that, Itisrisky indeed to simply trust your strength to throw it off, because neglected colds have brought more serious sickness than any other one thing, while weak- ening cathartics and stimulating syrups are often depressing and dangerous. The one best treatment for any cold —the one so often relied on when others fail, isthe powerful blood-nourishment in Scott’'s Emulsion, which feeds the very sources of bodily strength tosup- press the present cold and generate strength to thwart further sickness.
