WORST GETS
NOTHING FOR TOIL
Democratic State Chairman
About to Suffer for His
Dry Proclivities.
GOES TO SEE GOVERNOR
ivw at arf PnrrMnondent.)
Lincoln, Dec. 13. (Special.) The
stinir of ineratitude which has at
times been in evidence after political
campaigns, appears to have struck the
democratic party and worst of all it
lias come just when everybody should
be happy with Christmas cheer.
Chairman Louie Langhorst 'has
hren stuns, according to his friends,
who are saving things about Gov
ernor-elect Neville.
When it was known that Clarence
E. Harman would not be a candidal!
for reappointment as food commis
sioner. all eves were turned in the di
rection of Chairman Langhorst of the
democratic state committee. But
now all is changed. Mr. Langhorst
visited the state house today and was
closeted with Governor Morehead for
more than an hour. Neither one
would admit that the visit had any
tning to ao witn tne appoinitnem 01
food commissioner. After Mr. Lang
horst had left the state house he was
approached on the matter of the ap
pointment, but said there was nothing
to say at this time.
Still for Prohibition.
"I will still be found fighting in the
trenches," said the chairman, "and for
the enactment of a legislative law
which will make Nebraska strictly
prohibition."
This has led some to believe there is
a difference of opinion between the
new governor and the democratic
chairman over carrying of the pro
hibition amendment.
Mr. Langhorst was very emphatic
in saying:
"I have nothing to say now, but I
will have a little later on, but I am
still for the prohibition amendment."
It was pretty well known at the
time of the selection of Mr. Langhorst
as chairman of the state committee
that it was done to appease the
Bryan element in the democratic
party and to give -4 prohibition hue
to the democratic state committee, al
though the real leaders of the party
were strongly against the dry prop
osition. Now there is no more use
for Mr. Langhorst and he can go back
to his little store at Elmwood and sell
eggs, calico and New Orleans
molasses, while another who has been
on the state pay roll for some time
steps into the fattest job in the gift
of the pew governor.
It is said that Otto Murschell of
Ord, who has been an inspector in the
office of the state fire commissioner,
is to receiver the appointment.

costs against a man who was fined
$10 yesterday and repeated the of
fense.
The countv lail is full nearly to
capacity with these prisoners, and

pleased with their treatment there,
