Telegram.) Francis Cline of Elm
' Creek, one of the Buffalo county draft
, army 'contingent to leave here Mon
day night for Fort Riley, is making
the trip to camp in liandcuffs.
' He refused to accompany the boys
' tnd force was resorted to. The sher
iff and his deputy called on Cline
Monday evening, after he had re
fused to report. He met the officers
with i heavy crowbar and threatened
then and there to aiake war on the
officers or anyone who would attempt
to take him. -.' v
- He was finally overpowered and
s liandcuffs placed on him. The young
man showed so much fighting spirit
that the officers had to let the cuffs
remain when he started for camp.
Cline is not pro-German, at least does
rot indicate it He merely states that
he does not believe in war and fight
ing, athough he staged a pretty good
crap before' being taken. Parents of
the young man live on a farm, but
their son has not been engaged there.
The exemption board states hat he
has done: little work and his opposi
tion to work being about -, as pro
nounced as that which he holds to
war. -This is the first 'drafted man
from Buffalo county tot be taken by
force, handcuffed and entrained for
camp. , - ' ' i ,.,;(:

HOWARD ACTING
GOVERNOR WHILE
NEVILLEJS AWAY
Proposes Reply to Criticisms
of His Attitude Touching His
"Parity Plan" of Nation's
Securities.
From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, June 25. (Special.) Lieu
tenant Governor Howard, acting gov
ernor during the aosence of Governor
Neville at Washington, has made the
following announcement:
This position which 'I now tem
porarily occupy the position of chief
magistrate of a sovereign common
wealthis so exalted that in it I
hesitate to discuss anything un
worthy. During my occupancy of the
office I shall not discuss Senator
Hitchcock. Within a few days, upon
the return of our governor, I shall
resume my place in the ranks of pri
vate citizens, and then I shall be in
position to discuss the tarnished sen
ator free from the fear of lowering
the dignity of my high office.
"However, while declininz to hold
controversial relations with the Stan
dard, Oil senator front Nebraska at
this time, s I think it is not Improper
to engage in argument with the bril
liant (editor of .the senator's news
paper as touching thj great problem
of the national finances, and. soon I
shall try to answer .the objection he
has raised to my plan to keep all gov
ernment war securites at par." .
Touchinar the rumored lintrv of
Judge Harry Dungan into the con
test for the democratic senatorial
nomination, the lieutenant governor
said; " ' .-f'
"Yes, I have heard of th? pro
gram of Senator Hitchnck tn inHnrf
Judge Dungan to become a candidate,
but my estimate of Judge Dungan s
ability , to intepret , cunning argu
ments is such as to lead me to the
instant belief that he will not nibble
at the Hitchcock bait. .. He will, in
stantly discover that his entry would
divide they progressive democratic
vote and insure the nomination of
some reactionary democrat who may
become the final choice of the Hitch
cock machine. Knowing both the
worth and the discernment of Judge
Dungan, I also know that he will not
bite the bait I frankly admit that I
cannot be nominated if Judge Dun
gan shall enter the contest and divide,
as he wou!d,; the progressive vote
which will go to me as against my
inrcc uisiinguisnea reactionary op
ponents. But I shall refuse to en
tertain the suspicion that Judge Dun
gan has ever given serious considers
tion to the siren song of the corpora
tion choir."
