Governor Mums to Exhaust

MAY PROVE TO BE MURDER
Claim to Have Lat Information in
Hit Favor Oahlman't Lead la Be
ing Cut Down by Official Return
Now Coming to Hand To Sift Doug-
' la and Otoe Counties.
Lincoln, Aug. 22. In the face of the
return James C Dahlman Is the Dem
ocratic nominee for goverw toy not
more than 200 over Governor Shallen
berger, but if so, the governor is deter
mined not to yield until every legal
recourse 1 exhausted. That was the
decision reached as a result of a con
ference held in Omaha with his local
supporters.
Governor Shallenberger figure him
self practically a winner, based on a
message from Frontier county that his
majority would be increased in that
county at least 100. The governor fig
ures that he was only thirty-six be
hind Dahlman.
These figures the executive Is using
to count himself in have been wired
to hlra from friends In the various
counties and he had received mes
sages, he said, from every county in
the state.
Should the returns show that he has
been defeated by a smah vote he will
ask tor a recount in Douglas county
and possibly in Otoe county. He be
lieves that many votes cast In those
two counties should have been thrown
out Instead of counted for Dahlman.
He had been told, so he said, by
friends In Douglas county that many
ballots on which both Dahlman and
Lynch, a Republican, were voted for
were counted for each of them. In
Otoe county the governor's Informa
tion is to the effect that many votes
for Havward and Dahlman were
counted.
The governor figures that Dahlman
got at least 15,000 or 20,000 Republic
an votes and therefore it Is his duty
as the head of the Democratic party
to see to it that the rights of Democ
racy are protected, so he will ask for
a recount in those counties.
In Lancaster many ballots were
thrown out because the voter marked
Dahlman and some Republican, while
in one precinct in Dodge county fif
teen Dahlman ballots were said to
have been thrown out for the same
reason. Because of knowledge he has
on these counties the governor be
lieves that the practice of Jumping
across another party has been general
over the state.
On returns from seventy-seven
counties complete and eight almost
complete, Dahlman's lead over Shal
lenberger has been cut to 725, and
Is slowly but steadily getting less.
Aldrich continues to gain some
votes on Cady for the Republican
nomination, and seems to have a safe
majority, ranging In the neighborhood
of 4,000.

SUBSTITUTE WHEAT
J. A. Patten Say Crop Shortage May
Enforce Change.
Chicago. Aug. 22. That the world's
wheat crop this year will be the small
est In the past ten years and that the
world 1 in strong need of a substitute
for wheat were the statement of
James A. Patten upon hla return to
Chicago from Europe. Mr. Patten vis
ited Germany, Holland, Belgium and
France.
"The wheat crop shortage really Is
so great," he said, "that It appears
that a substitute must be found. What
that substitute could be I am unable
to say. Corn seems first to suggest
lttelf, but people could not live on
corn bread.
"I do not think the serious crop situ
ation In France has been greatly ex
aggerated. The best posted gralnmeh
in Antwerp believe that France will
need to Import 100.000,000 bushels of
wheat this year to make up for the
crop deficiency.

reply to the stories that recently have
come from Oyster Bay telling of a ser
ious break between president Taft and
Colonel Theodore RooRevelt. The presi
dent and Mr. Morton absolutely refuse
to discuss the matter officially or un
officially. There Is a general belief In Bever
ly, however, that Colonel Roosevelt's
attitude, if It has been correctly repre
sented, Is based on an entire misappre
hension and misunderstanding of the
facts. There Is also s feeling here
that a better understanding will be
bad soon. This may be based on the
fact that Lloyd C. Grlscom is coming
to Beverly next week. It 1 also said
here that William Loeb, Jr., may be an
early visitor at the summer capital.
