I (From a Staff Correspondent.) LTNCOI.N. Nov. 2.V (Special.) They come and they go. They cousu.t nnd tc consult with the governor, but ao far It has not been given out who will draw pay from the mate the next two years. The governor's reception room la the busiest place n the whole slate houte. Men of prominence and otheis not so prominent linker and wonder what tho harvest will lie. Yesterday several of the newly elected state officers, Secretary Prague of the state committee, Karl Oaddls and one or two others prominent In the campnljn were Consulting v.ith the governor. Gud dis waa tending door, and none but those Who fought nob'.y In tho late conflict was allowed to pass the portals. Three- men in the campaign for demo cratic victory am conceded by all to be worthy of great consideration by the gov ernor. These are Secretary Spraguo of the democratic state committee, who en gineered the campaign which landed five democratic state officers and a nonparti san democratic chief Justice; Clarence Harmon, who engineered Governor More head'a personal campaign, and Earl B, Oaddls, who did the heaavy work In the publicity department at democratic head quarters and to whose farseetng and pe culiar Vision much of the success of the campaign Is due. . dorr Sufficient for Two. But strangely, two of these worthy patriots want nothing, so It Is said. It has been glory enough for them-to have seen their efforts rewarded, and they care not for political preferment. Secre tary Sprague Is already on the state pay roll as court reporter to Judge Corcoran of the Fifth district. He wants nothing more. Oaddis hus been secretary of the state tax commission the last two years at a salary of $10 a day. To the averages newspaperman like Oaddls, this ought to look like a gold mine, but unfortunately the legislature fixed a time limit on the number of days,, and sixty was all that could be counted. "Gad" has managed to get In the sixty days all right and many of his friends can testify that he has drawn the pay by numerous participations in the . results. Clarence Harman has been mentioned in connection with the State Board of Con trol, but he denies that he wants the job. To The Bee, before the election, Harman said he was perfectly In love with hla present Job as food and oil com missioner and had fairly got storied, and in the event of Governor Morehead's re election ho would like to finish the work he had begun and which he desired to see carried out. Some Hope for "bad." Bo it is probable that these three po litical generals, entitled to wear all of the insignia, of that rank, will still be found doing in the next two years what they are: doing now, with the exception of Mr. Qaddiii, whose office expires when the tax commission makes Its report to' the . legislature, unless the commission fthould be continued, which there is some talk of doing." In thitt case Mr. Gaddi may bo found in the next two years as in the last two, distributing - sunshine among his friends by reason of the 5K P".' MADISON. Neb.. Nov. r.V PpeclaU John W.

Warden Fenton wns In consultation with the board this morning' covering general matters at the penitentiary and to The Bee Volunteered the information that the problem of keeping prisoners busy will soon have to be solved. "Other states are facing a much greater proposition than Nebraska has to face," said the warden. "Only recently Warden" McCloughrey of the Iowa peni tentiary, with one of the members of the Iowa board came to Lincoln to see what we were, doing with our Inmate and for the further matter of talking over con ditions. They have about 1,000 prisoners there who ought to be put to work at something to occupy their time.
