DEMOCRAT SPLIT
GROWING WIDER
Petition in Circulation Asking
Governor Morehead tnd Mayor
; Bryan to Run.
JAKE NORTH QUITS COMMONER
Nobraska
(From a Stuff Correspondent.!
LINCOLN. Jan. 25. (Special.) From
now on the cohorts of democracy may be
expected to line up on each skle of the
great factional fight In the democratic
party and scrap till the last armed foe
expires.
Today petitions were circulated to place
the name of Mayor Charles AV. Bryan
before the state for the democratic nom
ination for governor. This comes on top
of the announcement that J. S. Canaday
of Mindrn, who It was thought might
be the dry candidate of the democrats for
the gubernatorial nomination, would not
be a candidate.
This afternoon petitions made their ap
pearance for the purpose of filing the
name of Governor Morehead for a rc
nomlnatlon 'for a third term.
Brrna Man Draerta.
Petitions for the governor are being
circulated by Jacob North, chairman of
the democratic county committee, and a
man who, up to a short time ago was
one of Mayor Bryan's most Insistent po
litical boosters.
It is pretty well understood that Gov
ernor Morehead does not want i run
for a third term. He understands that
he has everything to lose and nothing
to gain by such action. It At also pretty
well tmderstood that the governor would
like to be a candidate for the United
States senate against Senator George
Norrls two years hencsv and he does not
care to go against a fight which might
break his long record of political vic
tories, believing that a defeat for the
third term would greatly harm his pres
tige two years hence In efforts to secure
the democratic nomination for the sena
torship. Oatlook DUconraa-laaT.
Jt is suspected- that the governor feels
a great deal like many other prominent
democrats In Nebraska, that with the
chaotic, condition In the democratic party,
the best thing to do is to take to the
woods for a couple of years and let the
republicans go back to the offices.
Democratic Job holders are whistling
. very loudly to keep up their courage, as
they draw nearer to the political cemetery.
Coffey to Ask State
To Put Firo Escapes
Upon State Capitol
( From a Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN, Jan. .-Speclal.)-The lat
est Improvement suggested to beautify
the appearance of the grand and ancient
edifice sometimes called the Nebraska
state house has been suggested by I.abor
Commissioner Coffey, who Is of the opin
ion thst he can't, as a' representative of
the state, order fire escapes on buildings
unless the state Itself carries out the law
and puts fire escapes on the stste house.
Me says he frequently faces the proposi
tion when endeavoring to make people
live up to the law and cover their build
ings with these beautiful ornaments.
Therefore he fat preparing to go before
the board at Its next meeting and see if
the state won't comply with Its own law.
However, It is the general opinion that
the state house needs no fire escapes.
Should the Inmates of the building be
shut off from escape by the imusl chan
nels it would be practically easy for them
to crawl through the cracks in the build
ing and slide safely down the rold drafts
which have been so much In evidence this
winter.
KEARNEY-STAPLETON LINE
TO GET MORE SERVICE
(gram.) Tne soneauiea near in g or me
Nebraska - Stata . Railway commission
booked for Kearney, January 26, Is off.
. this was the word received here today
after' a request for Indefinite postpone-
, ment coming from Edson Rich of the
L'nion Pacific- law department.
Officials of the railroad were In com
munication with tho Omaha offices dur
ing this morning after an inspection-) of
conditions en the Kearney-Stapleton
branch. Changing service on this line
t V the. cause tor the hearing. i
' It had been proposed that an apparent
' freight congestion be relieved by adding
snother freight with passenger facilities
and the taking off of one motor each
day. This more could not be made with
out the sanction of the board, which they,
would not grant without a hearing.
It is thought hero that the Inspection
by the off totals Indicated the need of
additional freight service without taking
.off the motor and that this will be the
result.
If amy changes are made, according to
local railroad men, they will be made only
after the citizens affected come to some
amicable settlement with the road.
Democratic Chickens
Coming Home to Roost
(From a Staff Correspondnt.)
LINCOLN. Jan. . (Special Tele
gram.) The proud boast with which
democrats "pointed withp ride" at the
surplus In the state treasury has met a
bump. State Treasurer Hall Is now fear
ful that he will have to begin registering
warrants as the surplus In the treasury
has fallen to 142.000.
Forcing county treasurers, to ay
monthly Into the state treasury has been
the means of keeping the treasury in
good condition, but now when In former
years, these treasurers usually have
made their annual reports which were
accompanied with largo remittances,
none has ben forthcoming and the result
is tough on the treasury.
This and the fact that the democratic
state board of assessment "took a
chance" for sweet politics sske, and cut
down the state levy one mill over the
protest of the state treasurer, is respon
sible for the loss In revenue of 1425,000
this year, and has demonstrated that the
economical policy of the legislature is
not panning out and that there must
be sufficient revenue to run the state
or warrants will have to go to the discount.

Many Cases of
Rheumatism Now
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and Eat
Less Meat.
Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of wster snd above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
'down uric acid.
j Rheumatism Is caused by poisonous
(toxin, cslled urlo acid, which Is gene
rated In the bowers and absorbed lno the
blood. It Is the function of the kidneys
to filter this acid from the blood and
cast It. out In the urine. Tho pores of
tho skin are also a means of freeing the
blood of this impurity. In damp and
chilly, cold weather the skin pores are
closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fall to eliminate this uric
acid which keeps accumulating and cir
culating through the system, eventually
I settling In the Joints and muscles caus
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from sny pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for a week. This Is
said to eliminate urlo acid by stimulat
ing the kidneys to normal action, thus
ridding the blood of these impurities.
Jad Kalis Is Inexpensive, . harmless and
Is made from tho acid ' of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with llthla and Is
used with excellent results by thousands
of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
Hers you have a pleasant, effervescent
llthla-water drink which overcomes urlo
acid and Is beneficial to your kidneys

YES-IT IS POSSIBLE
TO STOP RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism is a tormenting and
stubborn malady. In some cases it
yields to treatment which is without
avail in other cases.
The darting pair, lame muscles or
stiffened joints only disappear by grad
ually expelling the uric acid, and so
many thousands have been relieved by
the blood-enriching oil-food in Scott's
Emulsion that you should give it a
faithful trial. Scott's Emulsion acts as
a powerful blood-purifier by increasing
the red corpuscles and it strengthens
the organs to carry off the acid which
cause the trouble.
Try Scott's Emulsion. It cannot harm.
It has helped thousands and may be ex
actly what you need. No Alcohol.
