| Nebraska | GOVERNOR PBARSON TAKES THE REINS Railroad Commissioners Served With Notice That They Must Give Bonds. - DISQUIET AT THE STATE HOUSE (From a Statf Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 13.—(Special.)—It is now Governor James Pearson, if you please. When Governor Morehead left the state last night taking with him Ad- jutant General Hall, head of the Ne- braska’ army, Food Commissioner Harman, Labor Commissioner Coffey, Fish Commissioner Rutenbeck, In- surance Commissioner Eastham and other deputy state house officials, he left the state in a woeful state of un- preparedness. While the head of the state and his department heads were hobnobbing in St. Loius, there was nothing to prevent the Germans or the allies sailing ‘up Salt river and laying our beautiful and ancient state house in ruins. 3 But the people may now rest in peace. There is a head at the helm of the ship of state and a firm hand on the rudder. Governor Pearson will now run the state government as he ran the state senate we the last ses- sion, It is true he has ne private sec- retary, Mr. Mumford having accom- panied the governor to the democratic convention, But Mr. Pearson believes he can act as his own private secre- tary and perform the duties encum- bent upon both with neatness and dis- patch. Some Are Worried. However, while the people can now draw their breaths without a flutter- ing of their hearts, t he same cannot be said of certain officials in the state house, g “What will he do,” was a much cir- culated question among certain de- partments. It will be remembered that soon after Attorney General Reed assumed the duties of his office he dug up a constitutional provision which he de- clared that the present members of the State Railway commision had no right to hold their officeg because they had given no bona. Mr. Reed declared that the offices were vacant and called upon Gover- nor Morehead to appoint three new commissioners. However, the gover- nor was slow to act. He took a squint at the constitution which Mr. Reed said showed plainly stated that all executive offices of the state should give a bond, declaring that the mem- bers of the Railway commission were executive offices. But the governor made haste slowly. .. .. Commission Stands Pat. .. .. Governor Morehead was not sure what he ought to do. Of course, he would like to appoint three tried and true democratis to the commission, to fill the places held by three repub- licans, but somehow he could not see his way clear and no appointments have been made. In the meantime the members of the Railway commission stood pat and declared the constitu- _tion did not require them to give bond l we——— and that the law creating the com- mission said nothing whatever about bonds. The matter has dragged along until the present and the coming of lieu- tenant governor to Lincoln and as- suming the duties of the governor has set the tongues to going again and while the new governor will neither deny or affirm that he intends to ap- point three new commissioners, those who claim to be very clase ‘to Gover- nor Pearson say that he has come here for that very purpose and that he came herg at the instance of At- torney General Reed. Notice is Served, As an indication that there is some- “thing doing, Assistant Attorney Gen- eral Ayers, acting for Mr. Reed, who is absent, served notice on the mem- bers of the Railway commission today that they would be required to give a bond. One of the commissioners this aft- er said that they did noe expect to fol- low the orders of the new governor and the attorney general, When interviewed by the news- papermen this afternoon, Governor Pearson said there was not much in it. However, there may be more devel- opments. A A message was sent Governor Morehead this morning by his re- cording clerk, J. H. Presson as fol- lows: “Lieutenant Governor Pearson took charge of the office at 9 a. m,” It is understood that Colonel Pres- son has also written the executive at St. Louis that the state house still stands and that none of his appointees have been removed and he does not think that it will be necessary for him to return home until he has been nominated for vice president.
