THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 16. 1916. DEMO CHAIRMAN GROWING CALMER Langhorst Begins to Deny That He Ever Said Anything About Neville. TOO STRONG FOR BRYAN Urrmn H Stuff Corri.pfndent. ) Lincoln, Dec. 15. (Special Tele gram.) In a statement this afternoon Chairman 1.. 1 Langhorst of the democratic state committee denies that he is "sore" over his turndown as a candidate for food commissioner; that he ever solicited the endorse ment of Arthur Mullen for the place: thatGovcrnor Neville said that he owed the state committee nothing or that the prohibition amendment was at all mentioned in his conversation with the new governor. However, he does admit that he thinks Governor Neville acted a little more "brusquely" than was necessary, when he declared that the stuff was off on the food commissioner appoint ment, and fbat the reason lie did not ask Mullen for his endorsement for food commissioner was because Ne ville had told him it was not neces sary. Langhorst thinks now that pert he understood the new governor wrongly when he said endorsements were not necessary. He says, Gov ernor Neville told him that the hirst congressional district had done little tor him in the election and that as it had fared nicely under Governor Morehcad, other sections would be re membered in the important appoint ments. .Mr. Langhorst further says that the governor did not say that "he owed, the state commit nothing," but that he said he owed the chair man of the stale committee nothing. Mr. Langhorst admits that perhaps the reason he was not appointed was because he was too good a BrVn man. From all reports it is evident that Mr Langhorst has partially recovered from his "soreness" and that the agi tated appearance of the state chair man after his conversation with the new governor was due to his interest i the peace negotiations proposed by one of the belligerent nations across the water and not to anything which might have been said by the North Matte statesman.

Mayor of Fairbury Has House Cleaning Fairbury, Neb.. Dec. 15.

The county attorney handled the prosecutions and after the warrants bad been read, there was a scramble for the 'front row to plead guilty. Judge Nutzman assessed the fines.

Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub stitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are Ihe re- suit of Dr. ICdwards' determination not ! to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts tc hattish it brought j out these little olive-colored tablets. j These pleasant little tablets do Ihe good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the ; teeth like stront? liquids or calomel. 1 They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the (rums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Oliva. Tablets when you feel "Inggy" and "heavy."
