NEVILLE WILL BE
GOVERNOR A WHILE
Present War Department Plans
Do Not Include Seventh Ne
braska and Executive Will
v . Remain In State.
TO SUCCEED NEVILLE IN
THE GOVERNOR'S CHAIR.
' fProm a Staff Corrtapondent)
, Lincoln, Oct 2. (Special) The
long expected has arrived.
It b now Colonel Keith Neville.
But it it also Governor Keith Ne
ville. And it still continues to be Lieuten
ant Governor Edgar Howard.
When Governor Neville went to
Washington to look after matters in
connectioa with the draft, great ef
fort was made by Private Secretaiy
Lee Metcalfe to locate the lieutenant
governor that the latter might come
to town and work at the governor's
job while the real governor was away.
He was unusually anxious to locate
Mr. Howard, who it appears was
somewhere out in the state with
Charles W. Bryan chasing chickens
and shooting ducksj i .
No Resignation Yet -
But the disclosures today show that
there was "method in his madness,"
for this morning the announcement
was made that Governor Neville, at
the urgent solicitation tf the officers
of the new Seventh regiment had ac
cepted the colonelcy of that organiza
tion and that Lieutenant Governor
Howard, while acting as governor, had
commissioned the governor as colon
el. . -.y, .
Naturally when the word was niosed
about that the governor -had ;been
commissioned as colonel everybody
took it for granted that he had re
signed as governor of the state and
that . Lieutenant. Governor- Howard
was sure enough, governor and em
ployes about the state house became
greatly agitated for with the incoming
of a new governor there might be new
appointments.
Lt .was rumored that Private Sec
retary Lee Metcalfe would be, made
adjutant of the new regiment, (or had
not Governor . Nevijle told Mr. Met
calf some time ago:, "When I go, to
war wc will both go toether." , '
It has been- noted for some time
that Mr. Metcalf had been carrying
around with him. s.sOrt of military
air and a little red feather, so it was
natural that "all minds should run in
thp same channel," as regards the dis-'
position of Mr, Metcalfe Besides Mr.
Metcalfe waj appointed to his position
as' an anti-Bryan man and it was not
to be supposed' the ' new governor
would gather around him any but
those who breathed through the same
Bryan quill, and besides Mr. Metcalfe
has his hair cut short in the back.
Seventh Not ' Reorganised.' ""
But there need be noworry.-. The
Seventh, regiment Jias not yet been
recognized . by .'the vWaf . department.
Governor Neville will not resign as
governor until the Seventh li called
into service.' The' reorganisation of
the ' army whicV carried with It the
dismemberment of the Nebraska brig
ade and-the-utter -demolition of the
"Dandy! Sixth" regiment ' contem
plated rk further regiment In this
atate. If the. Seventh regiment I call

and until that call comes Colonel Ne
ville will continue at governor of Ne
braska and t Lieutenant Governor
Howard Will, continue, to see visions
and dream dreams.

Return of Governor Neville
From Washington Stops Hear

Refused to 0. K.
of a majority of the officers ia equiva
lent to an election I have no hesita
tion in accepting the honor,
"I have been assured by the depart
ment officials at Washington that
they will gladly recognize an addi
tional regiment of infantry or field ar
tillery qualifying as prescribed by law.
This does not mean that the Seventh
will be immediately called into federal
service. It may.be some time before
the National Guard units, now being
organized in many states, are federal
ized. Appreciates Trust Imposed.
"With a sincere appreciation of the
trust imposed and the honor con
ferred upon me by- the people of my
state, I believe that I should not be
worthy pf that trust and honor should
1 continue to urge Nebraskans into
the service of their country without
manifesting my willingness to accom
pany them. i ). ,
"Our country is facing the most
serious crisis in its history. We are
fighting not only that democracy may
live, but that we may continue to ex
ist as a free and independent nation.
It is the duty of every man, physically
fit, of military age, to place his serv
ices at the disposal of the govern
ment. In this spirit and after mature
deliberation I have reached my con
clusion and act accordingly."
, Howard Telia of Appointment.
The following statement was issued
by Lieutenant Governor Howard:
"Yes it is. true that Governor Ne
ville is now the colonel of the Sev
enth regiment, Nebraska National
Guard. I issued a commission to him
last Saturday.
"The commission waa issued fol
lowing presentation to me of the writ
ten desire of practically all the officers
of the new regiment. -1
' "At no time has Governor Neville
ever spoken to me on the subject of
a commission. 'I acted in harmony
with my well-known advocacy of and
allegiance to-the plain principle of
majority rule. The officers of the new
regiment wanted Governor Neville as
their cdlonel I granted their request.
"I did not. know that he would ac:
cept the commission, bitt now I am
glad to know that he is not annoyed
by my action.' and that he feels highly
honored by the call of the men of the
regiment to lead it wherever duty or
honor may direct the way. Of course
the acceptance of the commission by
our goyernor will be a call to me to
occupy the high c.Uce he now occu
pies, a snan ooey me can, aitnougn
none who have been near me can
doubt that I thall do .so reluctantly.
It ism position of great dignity and
abundant opportunity.' But also a post
of immense responsibility. ,
Never Felt Qualified.
"I have neVer felt mvself ouite Qual
ified to do full justice to that exalted
position, but firm in the faith of those
political and governmental principles
which I have so long advocated, I am
confident that the people of Nebraska
wui be kind to cover, with a white
mantle, of charity my every fault or
foible so long aa I shall not swerve
from the pathways of rectitude.
"I shall approach the high responsi
bilitief of the position always in hu
mility, and always unafraid. ; It is sot
for me to know the date of the re
tirement of Governor Neville.' . He
wilt announce the date at his pleas
ure. My one best hope is that I may
be able to o act under the impend
ing responsibility as to leave a record
which may even in small measure ap
proach the general excellence of the
record achieved by the splendid young
Nebraskan who has borne guberna
torial honors with rare grace and in
stant probity." , -
t It h said Fred W. Ashton of Grand
Island, membe of the exemntion
board for the South Platte district,
will be lieutenant colonel.
It is repoted a deal has been made
whereby Howard promises to get out
of the way soon for John Mattes,
president of the senate, to become
governor, in return for support for
United States senator. ' .
Howard Heara the New.
Columbus. Neb- Oct. 2. fSnerial
Telegram.) It was in a show ring
in a livery barn Colonel Ketchell. the
auctioneer, had snapped the bell for
the assembling of a large crowd of
hog fanciera from near and far called
to Columbus to attend the sale of
prize, Duroc Jersey hogs from the
Ahrens Brothers herd. Lieutenant
Governor Edgar ' Howard had been
asked to welcome the visitors to his
home city. At that moment a news
paper reported announced the tele
graphic report from Lincoln that
Governor Neville had become colonel
of the Seventh Nebraska regiment and
that the lieutenant governor would be
advanced to the office of governor.
Howard said the news caused him to
sweat like an auctioneer in search of
higher bidders, and this was the only
reference he made to the announce
ment of his imoendina honors.
The hog sale was a success, every
tning going at tancy prices. . Bidders
came from all over Nebraska and from
distant states, but the most of the fine
animals were bought by the farmers
of Platte and adjoining counties. ;

(From a Staff CorrepondenL
Lincoln, Oct. 2. (SpeciaI.)-The
old saying, "There's many a slip.Jwixt
the cup and the lip," was applicable
yesterday when Governor Neville,
who had refused to endorse a claim
for $475 presented by Dr. A. E. Carr,
former member of the board of secre
taries of the Board of Health, slipped
into the chair occupied by Acting
Governor Howard and the latter
slipped out and back to the office of
lietutenant governor.
The claim of Dr. Carr was for bul
letins mailed out by the old secre
taries some time in August: Commis
sioner of Printing J. P. Webster-had
refused to O. K. the printing and had
told Dr. Carr he wouldhave to . pay
for it himself. The bill had been be
fore the Board of Health, but .no
action had been taken. The board
consists of the governor, attorney
general and state superintendent
Lieutenant Governor Howard, as
acting governor, became a member
and chairman of the board as soon
as the governor left the state and this
morning called a hearing on the claim
of Dr. Carr. Before the hearing was
concluded Governor Neville had ar
rived in Lincoln and Governor How
ard ceased to be governor. As his
last act he referred the matter to the
attorney, general. The new state
health commissioner, Dr. Tenney, has
refused to recommend the payment of
the bill and the health board says they
will not allow it unless Printing Com
missioner Webster so orders.
Father Certifies Son
For National Army
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2. (Special.)
One father who, as a member of the
Lancaster county exemption board,
has certified so many other fathers'
sons to service in the draft army has
not refrained from certifying his own
son for the same service. '
Ralph Marshal, son of John T. Mar
shal,' chairman of the. Lancaster
board, was certified to the appellate
board for service by his father some
time ago, but friends filed exemption
claims for him, stating that his
services were needed in the operation
of his father's bank. As soon as the
elder Marshal is able to return to the
bank from his work on the exemption
board the appellate board rules that
the son shall go into the draft army.
