L. Miller has been having his curing 24-hour electric service. home prepared for the spring season " The principal question now con- and getting ready for summer. An effort had been made by the various candidates to reach an agree ment as to the withdrawal of all but one of the men who are opposing the governor for re-nomination, but the greater part of the candidates re fused to accept the various compro- I mise measures. The changes in the situation, if any occur, must be by the voluntary withdrawal of some of the candidates. Mr. Pollard taxes the position that he is in no way responsible forN the tangle- and confusion that exists among the numerous candidates. He declined for weeks to get into the contest for the governorship and yielded only when a showing of a general sentiment for his entering the race was made by the republicans of the state. At the time the peti tions for his nominations were filed only the name of Adam McMullen of Beatrice was in the field. Since the filing of the name of Mr. Pollard, Hall, McLaughlin, Bachelor and Mathewson have- filed. The state ment of Mr. Pollard given out is as follows: "Soon after I came to Lincoln as a member of the constitutional con vention, republicans from over the state as they came to the city began to urge me to file as a candidate, for governor. I always replied that I was not a candidate and did not care to be considered at all in connection with any office. I maintained this postion for over two months. Finally I said that before I would give the matter considera tion, I must be convinced that there was a general demand for me from republicans all over the state. "Against my advice, petitions were circulated in a number of counties, come of which were filed with the secretary of state, presenting my name as a candidate for governor. The plea was made to me that in view of my having represented Cass county In the legislature two terms and the first .congressional district in the United States congress two terms, and being a member of the constitutional convention, that my qualifications and public record were such as to make me the most avail able man to make the race. "I was told that I have been hon ored by the party in days gone by, that I was indebted to the republican party for any political successes I had enjoyed, and that now it was my duty as a republican to come to the rescue of the party in its hour of peril. "Four years ago I withdrew my name as candidate for governor in order to insure the election of a dry candidate to lead the party in the prohibition fight which was the do minant issue at that time. -I with drew then because I felt that the interests of the republican party aid the temperance cause were para mount to my personal ambition. "At the time my petitions were filed with the secretary of state, one filing only had been made, other than the present incumbent. All the fil ings except this one, were made sub sequent to mine. Consequently I am not responsible for the present con fused situation. "I was drawn Into, the contest against my wishes as the result of a general demand on the part of re publicans over the state. It is im possible now for me to communicate with them In regard to the situation confronting the party at this time. However,. I have talked with as many of my personal friends as I have been able to reach. Without a single ex ception they tell me that the same situation that confronted the party at the time my name was filed still obtains, and that my duty, now, is to remain in the field. I have given this matter careful Consideration and I have finally concluded that under no clrcumstant-es will I withdraw. I none, that republicans all over the state will stand by me now in this campaign as I stood by them when I withdrew four years ago. "If elected governor I will be found at the executive office to give my personal attention to whatever business may properly come Deiore the Eovernor.
