Nebraska A | DENOCRAT SPLIT GROWING WIDER Petitions in Circulation Asking Governor Morehead and Mayor 1 Bryan to Run. JAKE NORTH QUITS COMMONER (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCO Jan. 2.—(Special.)—From now on the cohorts of democracy may be expected to line up on each side of the great factional fight in the democratic party and scrap till the last armed foe expires. Today petitions were circulated to place the name of Mayor Charles W. Bryan before the state for the democratic nom- ination for governor. ‘ of the announcement that J. S. 4 of Minden, who it was thought might k be the dry candidate of the democrats for the gubernatorial nomination, would not be a candidate This afternoon petitions made their ap- \ pearance for the purpose of filing the name of Governor Morehead for a re- nomination ‘for a third term Bryan Man Deserts. Petitions for the governor are being circulated by Jacob North, chairman of the democratic county committee, and a man whe, up to a short time ago was one of Mayor Bryan's most insistent po- litieal boosters. 1t is pretty well understood that Gov- ernor Morehead does not want % run for a third term. He understands that he hes eyerything to lose and nothing to gain by such action. It 4 also pretty well understood that the governor would like to be a candidate for the United States senate against Senator George Norris two years hends, and he does not care to go against a fight which might break his long reeord of political vie tories, belleving that a defeat for the third term would greatly harm his pres- tige two years hence in efforts to secure the democratic nomination for the sena- torship. Outlook Discouraging. It is suspected: that the governor feels a great deal like many other prominent democrats in Nebraska, that with the chaotic condition in the democratic party, the best thing to do is to take to the { woods for a couple of years and let the republicans go back to the offices. Democratic job holders are whistling i very loudly to keep up their courage, as they draw nearér to the political ceme- tery. ‘ KEARNEY-STAPLETON LINE - TO GET MORE SERVICE KEARNEY, cgram.)—The Nebraska State Rallway commission baoked for Kearney, January 26, is off. ‘This was the word received here today after’a request for indefinite postpone- ment coming from Bdson Rich of the Union Pacific law department. Officials of the railroad were in com- munication with the Omaha offices dur- ing this morning after an inspectiony of condit! on the Kearney-Stapléton branch,” Changing service on this line was cause for the hearing. . It had been proposed that an lppliant freight congestion be relieved by adding another freight with passenger facilities and the taking off of one motor each day. This move could not be made wifh- out the sanction of the board, which they, would not grant without a hearing. Tt is thought herc that the inspection by the officials indicated the need of additional freight service without taking oft the motor and that this will be the result. 1t amy changes are made, according to local railroad men, they will be made only after the citizens atfected come to some amicable settlement with the road.

LINCOLN, Jan. 2.—(Special Tele- | gram.)—The proud boast with which :demncnu “pointed withp ride” at the surplus in the state treasury has met a bump. State Treasurer Hall is now fear- ful that he will have to begin registering warrants as the surplus in the treasury has fallen to $42,000. Forcing county treasurers to aay monthly into the state treasury has been the means of keeping the treasury in £ood condition, but now when in former years, these treasurers usually have made their annual reports which were accompanied with large remittances, none has ben forthcoming and the result is tough on the treasury, This and the fact that the democratic {state board of assessment ‘‘took a chance” for sweet politics sake, and cut down the state levy one mill over the protest of the state treasurer, is respon- sible for the loss in revenue of $425,000 {this year, and has demonstrated that the economical policy of the legislature is not panning out and that there must be sufficient revenue to run the state J or warrants will have to go to the dis- count, PEARSON FOR RENOMINATION {UPON THE POPULIST TICKET (From a Staff Correspondent.)
