"I want to be considered for the

to Mayor Dahlman yesterday. The

administration of Greater Omaha.

HITCHCOCK CAUSE
OF REAL RUMPUS
Trustees of Belleme Protest Against
Senator as Commencement
Orator.
HE IS TO SPEAK, ANYWAY
A real '"rumpus" has been started
at Bellevue college .over the com
mencement program by the ' an
nouncement that Senator Hitchcock
will be commencement day orator.
Written protesta have been sent
by several trustees to President W.
E. NIcholl, emphasising the mistake
In the choice of the man.
Or. V. If. Bets question MV. Hitch
cork's prsctleal loyalty to his party par
tii'ularty In his attitude on the eaport of
arms and munitions.
Former BMta Benator Patrick, another
trustee of Pellevu and a member ot
senator's party, opposes him on the
moral ground. He believes that a man
whose influence goes to Uie support of
the liquor Interests Is not Ot to deliver
au address to the students of an educa
tional institution, particularly of a de
nominational college. Both men have
written letters to PreewUnt VT. B.
NIcholl, protesting against Mr. Hitch
cook. Does Not Support Wllsna.
Th faint praise and other -condemnation
by which Senator Hitchcock has
failed to support the Wilson administra
tion are disgusting to me," said rr. Bets.
"It is deplorable that a man who has
been elected to the t'nlted States senate
as a democrat should make a trying sit
uation more embarrassing than necessary
to his party. If he was a real republican
of the worst kind I would like htm. I
went a man to be what he claims to be."
Honator Patrick's objection Is consid
ered the stronger so far as Bellevue, an
Institution with a strongly religious at-
I mosphtro, is concerned. He points out
I that the tlm 1 her when a supporter
'of suloons und brewers Is no more fitted
j to address student of the institution
than would be the saloon keepers and
brewer themselves
How II Was Chosen.
"I think," said Dr. Bets, "that the sen
ator was chosen because he la a public
man holding a high office and without
any thoticht s te what he stands for."
The commencement day arrangements
stand unchanged. Benator Hitoheonk has
accepted the Invitation and the arrange
ment Will be carried through.
