LIGHT IS THROWN
ON BONDING DEAL
Soon After Judge England'! Change
of Front He Writes Bonds for
Six State Officer!.
HELPS KILL DTSURANCE BILL
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Sept 16. (Special.)
The inside story of the bond deal In
which Judge W. H. England of Lin
coln was able to pull down the bulk
of the bondi of the state officer,
may never be told, but enough infor
mation Is available to give the im
pression that politics played a large
part, although the judge stoutly de
nies his desertion of the republican
candidate, Mr. Howell, after he had
petitioned him to get into the fight
Kvas because of any consideration of
promisod fat premiums for writing
the bonds of the democratic officials.
The story runs something like this, and
it may be continued in coming chapters.
Some after R. . B. Howell of Omaha had
announced that he would not be a can
didate for the republican nomination for
governor In 1SH, Judge England and a
number of other former bull mooaera,
now calling themselves progressive re
publicans, got out a petition and filed It
with the secretary of state, after coax
ing the Omaha water board boss to re
consider his decision not to become a
candidate, and he was thus made a
candidate. This has little to do with
the story except .to show that the judge
was a "progressive."
England Chanters Front.
The second ohapter opens with the judge
playing the part of a booster for the
democratlo opponent of Mr. Howell, Gov
ernor John H. Morehead, notwithstand
ing Howeli had been successful In land
ing the republican nomination. At the
time it was considered worthy of com
ment that Judge England should go back
on his "progressive" candidate for gov
ernor and get behind a democratlo can
didate, outside his own party, at that,
branded far and wide as a reactionary.
However, Judge England now explains
the matter by saying that in a trip east
he discovered Howell waa not sincere in
Ills professions toward the water power
projects, etc, and so he concluded to
turn his efforts to the election of More
head. Writes Bonds of Six Officers.,:
Chapter three opens soon after the be
ginning of the year 1915, when It was dis
covered that Governor Morehead and
other State officers had turned the writ
ing of their bonds over to Judge England.
In his first term Governor Morehead had
filed a personal bond without cost to the
state, but for his second term Judge
England waa given the privilege of writ
ing a company bond for him.
Other officers about the state house
who gave their bonds to Judge England,
as shown by the records, were:
State Treasurer Hall 11,000,000
Hiaie Auditor W. H. Smith 60,0iO
Secretary of State Charles "Pool..,
Insurance-Comma. -W.-B Kaatham -T40,it0
Bank Examiner 8. M. Patterson , 2!i,HO
State Aocountant C. Q. DeFrance - Ih.OjO
This, counting the bond of the governor,
gives a total of l,2X6,0OO, which the
judge was able to write, besides the
bonds of several examiners in the pure
food department, which. If, as he says,
he was given the writing of the bond of
the governor simply because the execu
tive appreciated his support. Indicates
that other demoorats. must have been
very appreciative of the judge's repub
lican support likewise.
Helps Kill Insurance Bill.
But there is still another chapter, for
it will be remembered that during the
last days of the legislature there wss a
mighty fight over the passage of senste
file 46, the anti-dlacrlmlnatlon fire In
surance bill. The bill had passed the sen
ate and was before the house. Prospects
looked good for its passage.
On the day before the bill was to come
up in committee of the whole In the
house, Judge England appeared on the
scene. The judge was away on business
In some other state, but he appeared at
the supreme moment and unlimbered his
typewriter battery, flooded the desks of
the members with letters attacking the
bill and posing as the friend of hohest
Insurance methods. The bill passed In
committee of the whole by a close vote
and. then a fight began to kill It wtien
it came up for final passage. It was
noted that most of the fellows who now
have their bonds written by Judge Eng
land were elther'present in person or had
representatives on hand using every ar
gument to make members change their
votes. Enemies of the bill pleaded with
members to change their votes and kill
the bill. Appointees of the governor were
on the scene working hard to kill this
bill and their efforts were successful.
Was this also part of the deal, Is now
being asked.
