POLITICIANS ARE
CAMPING m THE
GOVERNOR'S TRAIL
Movement to Defeat Kim for Renom
ination Started Several Names
Are Being: Considered.
The
movement to bring out a can
didate in the republican primaries
that was talked of when a,t the end
of the legislative session the gov
ernor refused to submit anti-profiteering
legislation at the request of
the house majority is now assuming
form.
Several names are being suggested.
While nobo-Jy assumes to speak with
authority, it is known that Judge A.
I,. Sutton of Omaha has been consid
ering entering the race. Judge
Sutton won over 7eKelvie in the
10 10 primaries, but v.af defeat cmI at
the polls by Neville. Don A. Love,
a rr.e-iime progressive leader, is also
mentioned as a possibility. The name
of John Heasty of Fairbury is also
ugg:rit 9d. . Saau body has also pro
posed Mayor Steiner of Hastings ai
g.iod timber. There was talk during
the legislative session of bring'ng
ut Hepre.-er.tr. tive McLaughlin of
Hall, who had a run-in with the
governor early in the session. A
iieeting of legislators was held last
Ai::iii.-t luring the special session.
Mipposcd to be in McLaughlin's in
terest, but no names were mentioned.
There are a number of reasons ad
vanced as to why the governor should
not be renominated I13- those who
pre opposed to him. They assume
s their premise that he can't be re-(Iccte-I
if nominated, and therefore,
they are doing the party a service
bringing out a man who can. The
principal reason assigned is that the
govMiior doesn't take anybody's ad
vice as to hi official actions or poli
cies. Another is that he absents
himself away from the state and hi
office too much. Then there are
Mime who have not eliminated from
their system pome of the bitterness
that arose over the code bill, when
it was going through the legislative
bine. There are others who. while.
that McKeivie is three
than Neville, sav he is
and that he hasn't grown
are responsible.
admitting
years ohlc;
too youiif
up. Appointment
c-s always, for the opposition of oth
trs.
It is conceded by .McKdvies
friends that he is not in the habit of
asking for advice, and that he ha
teen away from his office more than
they like. In making appointments
he consulted a number of persons
but on the whole he appears to have
ricked the men he thought were best
available, and named them rcgardle.-
cf the fact that they were not recom
mended by party leaders.
The claim that he fought 10 get
the code bill through so that h
night build up a political machine
ii laughed at by the governor
friends, who say that he is not a pol
itician and doesn't play the game at
all according to the accepted rules
liven now he has taken no steps to
ward getting a re-nomination, al
though the primaries are only a few
months off. During the code biil
row in the legislature he repeatedly
stated that his one object was to get
rid of the antiquated and inefficent
system of doing the state's business
and he felt that he would not be do
ing his duty to the state if he did
rot fight for its adoption.
The primaries will be held "n April
and there is plenty of time for the
candidates to prepare their lightning
rods. It is conceded by opponents
of the governor that thev will have
to unite on some one man. or they
cannot beat him. and uniting on one
rizn has proved a stumbling block
to many such plans in the past.
The fact that the non-partisan
leaguers are certain to get into the
republican primary offers another in
teresting angle for speculation. The
fact that they will able to plump all
the way from 10.000 to 20. 000 votes
far a candidate for governor in a pri
mary may lie a lure for said candi
date, but the difficulty with its sup
port is that while it may be an asset
in a primary it is likely to be a lia
bility in the following campaign.

E0YC0TT RESUMED AS
PRICE OF EGGS SOARS
Lincoln, Dec. 23. The ban on the
purchase of eggs by Lincoln women
will go into effect again next Satur
day. Recently Mrs. N. E. Hildreth. head
of the civics department of the local
Woman's club, announced prices for
eggs had tumbled from S3 to 55
cents a dozen, following a two weeks'
boycott on them, ami that the ban
had been lifted. I5ut removal of the
boycott was followed by price in
creases, and some retailers, it' is said,
asking as high as 90 cents a dozen.
So the women have decided to elimi
nate eggs from their daily purchases
until prices take a drop. Sixty-five I
cents a dozen is considered by them
to be a fair price.
