PORTER, City Clerk. THE NEBRASKA SCENE By the Lowell Service Political sachems in Omaha and Lincoln plotted, planned, slaved and exhorted in mad efforts to create harmony. Form all appearances the results are nil. The most ambitious attempt by the democrats. A turkey banquet was staged in Lincoln, with the nffable Jim Farley as the guest of honor and master pacifier. War ring and peaceful democrats at tended in droves and bunches. The camera man officiated with the idea of giving a bona fide ex hibit of brotherly love. Charley Bryan, James E. Lawrence, Gov ernor Cochran, Postmaster General Farley and Postmaster Fenton were portrayed standing before the table where the feast was spread. Mr. Farley stressed the alleged fact that factions did not exist in (he democratic party. Scarcely had Sunny Jim departed when political hatchets flashed in the October sun. Charley Bryan, it is stated by some of his veterans, will run for the democratic nomi nation for governor, despite hell and high water. Roy Cochran’s boys maintain that the governor just cannot quit right now without stepping clear out of the picture. The rift in the democratic lute was further emphasized by the comments in the Lincoln Star, edi ted by James E. Lawrence. The editorial bore the caption “Lip Service.” “Jim Farley’b Lincoln visit,” said the Star, “brought forth a sound view of the various groups within the democratic party itself. He said that in the complexity of the problems there was a place for men and women of different viewpoints, and there is. He said that in ef fect there was no place for those who merely gave lip service—wrho promise one thing before the elec tion and did another thing after election. “The implications were unmis takable.” The writer then proceeds to take fall out of Senator Burke by in ference. All of which shows that the democrats might appropriately use a paraphrase of the old slogan “Yes, we have no harmony today.” With the republicans it is much the same. Two former presiden tial candidates, Hoover and Lan don, have put down microphonic barrages. Aspiring candidates in Nebraska have been caught in the cross fire. Discreetly all the can (Continued on page 5, column 5.) DECREASE IN TOTAL NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS (Continued from page 1.) school grounds.
