GIVING MELADY
BOOST FOR OFFICE
Euggeation Made by Some of Hit
Friendi at Lincoln that He
Eun for Governor.
DEMOS AEE LOOKING FOR MAN
From Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 23.-(Spclal). Will
Gene Melady ba a candidate for the
democratlo nomination for governor. This
is be ng discussed In Lincoln tcday.
springing from the action of several well
knor-n democrats at the Llndell hotel
Inst night, who sprung the matter and
1 ier met Mr. Melady and put It up to
him.
It Is a well known fact the democrats
are badly up In the air when It comes
to finding a man popular enough to go
up against the anti-democratic sentiment
which has been growing for some time.
They have been disappointed In not being
able to press Dr. P. I- Hall into the
race, and now that Governor Moreheart
will not run for a third term. It Is up W
them to find somebody wno wjll bear
the burden.
The popularity of Colonel Melady over
the state among those who patronise
good clean sports has led the Lincoln
democrats to feel favorauly toward Col
onel Melady.
, When the matter was put up to him
the colonel said, "I am not In politics,
nor do I care to run for office."
Colonel Melady is mighty popular with
the people of Lincoln Just now.
Brother Charley
Finds it Difficult
To Run City Machine
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 23. (Special.) Like
Brother Bill. Mayor Charles Bryan of
Lincoln la finding It much easier to tell
'what ought to be done when out of office
than It Is to do It when In, and the man
ner In which his political machine was
bumped into yesterday by the majority
of the city commission has left It looking
as If It had been struck by a locomotive.
The mayor has not been able to put
In effect many of the things he told the
people he would do. He gave them to
understand before election that he would
see that the courts settled the gas com
pany problem. The courts did hand down
at decision against the company, but now
they have given them more time find
accepted a bond large enough to cover
points at Issue, which means it will be
two years more before the thing la set
tled. The commission form of government
tor citlea was one of his pet issues, which
It adopted would make a cheaper form of
government and would give the commis
sion power to handle all of the difficul
ties which came up. Now the mayor
practically admits the failure of the com
mission form to do these things by ad
vocating the formation of another com
mission to take over the work that he
thinks needs looking after and which the
commission cannot handle.
His welfare commission idea does not
meet the approval of the other four mem
bers of the city commission, and in the
red-hot argument which nearly tore the
roof off of the city hall yesterday It
was shown that his very close support'
ers of the past were against him. Otto
Meier. Judge England and Mr. Sinclair,
his strong supporters In the past, all
turned against him and accused him of
many things which In their estimation
were sufficient to warrant them In break
ing away.
Charges were made that the Bryan
principle of "letting the people rule" had
been forgotten by the mayor, or he would
tie willing to have the matter of a wel
fare commission put up to the people of
Lincoln and let them vote upon It, and
let them select the members of that
commission.
Today some of the mayor's former sup
porters were In favor of giving the mayor
a little taste of his own political medicine
and Inaugurating the recall In his case.
Just how far this will proceed will prob
ably come out when the council next
meets.

AURORA PASTOR INSURGENT
Dr. Buckner of Methodist Church
Denounce! Methods and Lan
guage of Evangelist.
DEFENDS HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER
AURORA. Neb., Nov. 23. (Spe
cial.) Dr. J. D. M. Buckner, pastor
of the Methodist church ot this city,
today gave out a signed statement
relative to Rev. Bam Klrkland, the 1
evangelist, who has been conducting,
meetings here, In which he pro- j
tested against and denounced the I
words and methods of the latter. All
of the churches of the city have been
united In this meeting and Dr. Buck
ner now becomes an open Insurgent.
In his state ment Dr. Buckner declares
I
that the language tf the evangelist Is
"profane, vulgar and coarse." He' pro
tests against the language and the spirit
of the evangelist.
The ruction started In church circles
here when Miss Kathleen O. Ilearn, prin
cipal of the high school, wrote a letter
to the ministerial ascoclatlon and asked
the ministers to "send the man out of
the town." She declared In her letter
that the Influence of the words of Kirk-,
land was bad In the high school among
the students she was training.
The ministers did nothing with this pro
test of the high school principal. In a
number of meetings the evangelist Is re
ported to have inado covert statements
about Miss Hearn. These statements are
referred to by Dr. Buckner and resented
by him. Dr. Buckner has held some of I
the leading Methodist pastorates In the
state and Is regarded a one of the strong
men among the Methodists. He was for
several years pastor of the students'
church at University Dace, where he
preached to the young ministers in Wes
Icyan university.
(extracts from Statement.
Dr. Buckner In his statement says:
"I protest against Mr. KlrkKnd's attack
upon Miss Kathleen O. Ilearn. Miss
Hearn haa been teaching In our publlo
schools for seventeen years, I have
known and have admired her during my
pastorate here of something over four
years. I have recognised and have ap
preciated her lovely Christian character
and ideals. In my Judgment no person
in Aurora has done more than Miss
(Hearn to bring the Christ spirit into the
lives of our students. For the sake of
our youth Miss Hearn requested the Min
isterial association lo send the evangelist
out of Aurora because of his foul lan
guage. I consider hlu language profane,
vulgar and coarse, therefore, I am forced
to agree with Miss Hearn that Mr. Klrk
land should have been sent out of town
and another evangelist secured.
"I protest against Its statement that
the pastors of Aurora sent for him to do
their dirty work, which they themselves
were afraid to do; that the Ministerial
association had sent for him to slander
our town and Its officers, to abuse Its
church members, to call the Toung Men's
Christian association a "hell hole' (In
which he had refuse-.! to hold a meeting),
to 'damn our church buildings' and to tell
us our 'children are going to hell.' Not
a word was ever sail in the Ministerial
association meetings about getting him
for these purposes, and as far as I know
these are willful mit representations of
the pastors of this rlty. At least there
in one pastor who says alt that he thinks
ought to be said hence this article.
Abuse and Slander Deprecated.
"I protest against Mr. Klrklands be
littling the pastors of Aurora; abusing
and misrepresenting the churches, slan
dering the town officers and business men
who do not boost for himself, declaring
the town Is 'rotten' and 'is going to hell,'
also that there are more liars In Aurora
than In any other town he has even seen.
I protest against all these Indictments
made In the name of my Christ and His
kingdom. Why should a minister criti
cize teachers, doctors, editors, merchants
snd all who do not agree with him, and
not only criticize them, but also assign
them to hell? When, on the other hand,
he demands Immunity from criticism and
declares that his critics are indeed op
posing the very Christ"
Still another statement has been given
out taking the side of Dr. Klrkland
signed by these pastors. J. H. Salsbury,
Presbyterian church; C. C. Dobbs. Chris

We all esteem Miss Hearn's character

to avoid Just such type of criticism as has
been circulating he specif It ally stated that
conditions were very much the same

sermons wherever he went and that never
In any Instance should his utterances be
taken personally. He reiterated this
more than once. As to whether such

or not may be determined when It is
known that Dr. Klrkland is aptkng

Try this! Your hair appears
glossy, abundant, wavy
and beautiful.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair
Is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of
dandruff that awful scurf.
. There is nothing so destructive to the
hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its

eventually producing a foverlshness and
Itching of the scalp, which If not rem
edied causes the hair roots to shrink,
loosen and die then the hair falls out
fast. A little Danderlne tonight now
any time will surely save your hair.
Oet a it-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderlne from any drug store or toilet
counter, and after the first application
your hair will take on that life, lustre
and luxuriance which la so beautiful. It
will become wavy and fluffy and have
the appearance of abundance, an Incom
parable gloss and softness; but what will
please you most will be after a few
weeks' ur.e, when you will actually sea a
lot of fine, downy hair new hair grow
ing all over the scalp.
Danderlne Is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. It goes right to the roots. In
vigorates and strengthens them. Its ex
hilarating and life-producing properles
cause the hair to grow long, strong and
