POLITICAL POT IS AGAIN ON THE BOIL Corey Understood to Have Am- bizions for Congressional or Rate Board Post. CLARKE'S NAME IS SPOKEN (From a Statf Correspondent.) Lincoln, Dec. 3.—(Special.)—Poli- tics is beginning to simmer again, notwithstanding ‘that the last elec- tion is hardly a thing of the past, and | the latest is thg connecting of the name of Merton L. Corey with polit- ical ambitions g The political dope gives it out that Mr. Corey will move to Hastings and when the prooer time comes will come out as a candidate for congress on the democratic ticket. There is only one thing standing in the way i of the perfection of the plan and that is the present congressman, Mr. Shal- | lenberger. ' However it is said that the Alma congressman has never quite given up a hankering that he would like to be a United States senator, and it will be up to the interested ones to cultivate that “hankering” until it de- velops into a well rounded out deter- mination to get into the fight. Corey’s Other Ambitions. Then again it is said that Corey would like to go on the Interstate Commerce commission provided the commission membership is enlarged as proposed. It has always been un- derstood that if the ‘commission was | enlarged that there was another well f| known Nebraskan who has won his . spurs in many a fight who would | stand a mighty good show of landing || a place on the commission, and he is i Henry T. Clarke of the 'Nebraska State Railway commission. Mr. Clarke is recognized all over the il country as one of the really strong men connected with affairs associated with the work which the commission has to do and for some time his name § has been mentioned whenever a place ' on the commission has been talked of. Members of the national com- mission are acquainted with Mr, Clarke and have more than once tes- tified to his ability and so when it comes to a place on the commission, unless politics will be the standard for membership, Mr. Clarke can real- Iy be considered as having the inside trasck. ut to return to Mr. Corey and the United States lenltouhip’.’ and its connection with other political things. Will the interested ?ricmfa of Mr. Corey be able to convince Mr.' Shal- lenberger that he ought to run for . the senate and after doing so will the . way be clear for him? . Other Barkises. It is known that there are other ~ democrats besides Mr. Shallenberger who are making eyes at'the senator- ship. Governor Morehead would not throw the nomination away if it i should come 'to him, and it is sus- : mted that he would not dodge to i p from getting hit if it should be ~ ‘thrown in his direction. Then again there is Anome{ General . The attorney general has gone to Wash- this week, and it is suspected t make an investigation of the chair m held by Senator Norris to see how it will fit him. There is ollym. Rm:: thing, re':nly'.. against Mr., Reed, at is that he come: from the Nm ghn country. Hov! ever, that is not likely to discoura; the attorney general. When' he loo! over the last election results and sees _the majorities he received in some of the South Platte counties, he simply smiles and shows no signs of worry. With Governor Morehead, Attor- ney General Reed and Congressman ‘Shellenberger in. the fight for the democratic nomination, there will be | interest enough all along the line of . democratic trenches to keep prog- nosticators; busy for some time to _come. : g1 . - William Vickery A - Killed When Auto .

C. L. President May Deliver Brief Address on Subject to Houses. HIS PLANS YET INDEFINITE Washington, Dec. 3.—After Presi- dent Wilspn has concluded his address before congress Tuesday, it is possible he may deliver a brief address dealing with the high cost of living. The president’s plans on the sub- ject are as yet indefinite and may not e r::tured until the last moment be- fore he goes to congress. It is known, howev:r, that the administration con- siders the cost of living one of the most pressing questions before the country and that many of the presi- dent’s closest advisers favor consider- lnqrit in the legislative program. housands of petitions are pouring into the White House calling for some sort of relief from the present era of high prices for food, mln{ of them demanding an embargo on foodstuffs exported ‘t6 Europe. - They are re- /garded by officials as a strong trend of ublic opinion toward an embargo, ut, it is understood, will not influence the administration in favor of it. The course, which the president is understood to favor, is rather an ex- tengion of present laws to meet al leged conspiracies for cornering foods and price-fixing. Change of One Word Cause for Law Suit The changing of the word “thirty- one” to “twenty-one” in a telegram is the basis of a suit in district court for $2,625 damages brought by Albert H. Marshall, Omaha, a manufacturer's agent, against the Western Union Tel- egraph company. The telegram was sent to the Haes- lip Molasses and Sugar company, New Orleans, Marshall alleges, and has to do with a bid on a quantity of syrup.

Widows' Society To Start Raising ‘ A Building Fund | Another fund raising campaign is coming—this one by “The Society of | American Widows," to raise funds for a building. The project calls for a building cost- | ing between $50,000 and $75,000, laid out in apartments, to be rented or sold | to widows at reasonable rates, According to the prospectus all de- partments of the society’s work will be located in this building, including i office, auditorium for meetings, which will also be used as a gymnasium and play room for the children, an indus- trial department, @ co-operative store for the members and a laundry for use of all the occupants. This is the society started last April |on a unique plan to help widows in their strulile for existence along practical and business like lines, and in a way that will benefit them perma- nently. The promoters insist it is not a | charitable organization, but an uplift movement, intended to lighten the burdens of widows who are thrown on their own resources, with children to | both care for and support. A bazar is to be given December 8 and 9 at 206 Crounse building to raise money to carry on the work of the society. | During the campaign bricks will be sold in the way of red boxes filled with candy. Every man, woman and child will be given the opportunity to do their part in helping to swell the fund for this grand and worthy cause by either purchasing a brick or send- ing in their subscription.

GO ORCRC JI A ARCRG BUSINESS AT NOON (Continued struction in the e € building program authorized at y the last session as part of the admini- stration’s plan to strengthen the na- tional defense. There also remain to be acted upon important conserva- tion measures which the president and members of both legislative hes have been advocating. Jeside those measures President Wilson wants congress to cnact the Webb bill to make it legal for Ameri- can corporations to maintain col- lective selling agencies for foreign countries. Under terms of the Clay- ton anti-trust law such agencies would be unlawful. The president was disappointed over failure of the senate to pass the bill in the closing days of the last session and expressed his regrets in a formal statement. Defense Measures Pending. With regard to the national defense there are, beside the regular army, navy and coast defense supply bills, several measures bearing on the mili- tary efficiency of the country. Among them is the Chamberlain bill for a modified form of universal military training modelled after the Swiss sys- tem. Hearings are to be held by the senate military committee, but action before adjournment seems improb- able, Estimates on the naval bill call for an expenditure next year of approxi- many | mately $300,000,000 and authorization for construction of three dreadnaughts and at least one battle cruiser to add to the four dreadnaughts and foug bat- tle cruisers ordered constructed as soon as possible in the big naval bill of the last session. “To keep up with the three-year bailding program pro- vision also should be made for addi- tional scout cruisers, destroyers, fleet and coast submarines and auxiliary ships. Water Power Bills. Conservation legislation will be de- manded by its champions, but wheth- er time will permit 1s a dubious mat- ter, Water power bills, which failed at the last session will be revived. They include the public lands water *mwer bill and the measure to provide or development of water power sites in navigable streams by private capi- tal. There also is pending the New- lands’ $60,000,000 bill for general de- velopment and co-ordinated control of the country’s waterways, Measures are pending also for conservation of mineral resources and improved con- trol of the flood waters. Measures left over for which attention will be asked are the Shafroth bill to provide civil government for Porto Rico and the Hoke Smith bill to create a sys- tem of vocational education with fed- eral aid throughout the states. Three New Senators, The senate will have three new members to inaugurate when the gavel falls tomorrow. It also must elect’ a new president, pro tempore, owing to the death of Senator James P. Clarke of Arkansas. A new ma- jority leader must be elected for the next senate, owin§ to ‘the defeat of Senator Kern of Indiana, and there is considerable maneuvering among democratic senators for the honor of president pro tempore. Some sena- tors who covet the leadership in the next senate are being urged to ac- cept the vacancy, but are reluctant to do so.. Among those under con- sideration are Senators Saulsbury of Delaware, Walsh of Montana, Over- man of North Carolina and Bankhead of Alabama. In the selection the democ: must take into considera- tion what is likely to be done with the majority leadership next year. 1f that 1s' to go to a southern demo- erat—and the successor to Kern most rominently mentioned is Martin of irginia—the new rresident pro tem- pore probably will be chosen from the northern democrats. 8 Three new senators, who will take their seats tomorrow, are James E. Watson, républican, of Indiana, elec- ted “in place of Thomas Taggart, democrat, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Shively; Bert M. Fernald, republican, of Maine, who succeeds Senator Burleigh, deceaset, and William Kishy, democrat, of e Y ling cross And in DECEMBER 4, 1916. Arkansas, succeeding the late Senator Clarke.
