DAHLMAN CLAIMS BUT SHALLEN

Governor Said to be Not Satisfied
With the Outlook and Will Con
test the Election.
Omasa—Complete returns to the
World-Herald from seventy-eight coun
-ies. partial returns from nine and
->ne returning simply a majority, give
Mayor Iiafclman a lead of *>ot> for tie
lemocratic gubernatorial nomination.
While the late returns have cut into
he IMhlman lead somewhat they still
leave him with this margin to the
good
The vote in the seventy-eight couu
.:es complete give Dahlman a total of j
i : B ...lleaberger 25.3-I2. With j
the partial returns added the totals (
are Dahlman 27.953. Shallenberger 2S.- I

Although Governor Shallenberger
Joee no; |K*rsonally adzu.t defeat, it hs
:-onc-dea by his friends, as is indicat
d “by the following dispatch received
from L:ncoln
•“With one precinct missing from •
CuAt. r county, three precincts muss- j
tig from Douglas, one missing from
i—nc--ter and two from Dundy coup- i
• e- in addition to an entire absence
of returns from Loup county. Gover- j
no- Saailer.bt rger. according to fig
ures ■ ompiled by his official family,
is 132 votes behind Dahlman without
hope of catching un.
"The defeat of tue governor tor re
nomication on the face of practically
complete returns is conceded by those
about him.
"Governor Shallenberger himself is
saying nothing, neither conceding de
feat nor making a claim of a majority.
"At the executive mansion the last
of the figures were gathered and af
ter the tabulation was made it was
stated that when all returns were in
Dahlman would yet lead by at least
100 \otes."
The governor said over the long
distance telephone;
Shalienberger Will Contest.
Later—On the face of the returns,
says the Omaha Bee. Dahlman has se
cured the nomination for governor by
not more than 200. over Governor
Shalienberger. but if so. the governor
is determined not to yield until every
legal recourse to get a square deal
has been exhausted
That was the decision reached as a
result of the conference Governor
Shaiieuberger held in Omaha. Satur
day. with his local supporters and
lieutenants. From a source of Infor
mation that ought to know, it is
learned that counsel has been re
tained on behalf of Governor Shallec
berger and a plan of action mapped
out. which includes a demand fog a
recount wherever there are indica
tions iliat \otes have been chalked up
for Dahlman that do not belong to
him. and a contest in Douglas county,
if necessarv. to throw out the pre
cinct# in which the fraudulent or ille
gal vot» s were polled, •
"Governor Shalienberger was re
nominated beyond the shadow of a
doubt, declared this well known dem
ocrat politician and the vote piled
up lor Ihthlman represents not only

UNCLE JOE IS MAO.
Speaker of the House Has Something
to Say.
Danville, 111.—Despite tie declara
tion of Congressman Langworth that
he will not again vote for Joseph G.
Cannon for speaker of the house of
representatives, Mr. Cannon will con
tinue in the race, according to his
own statement made to the Associat
ed Press, He will go into the
the caucus as a candidate, no matter
how many republican congressmen
declare they will oppose his re-elec
tion.
All he asks is that those who go
into the caucus will abide by its vote
and he promises to do the same. He
does not ask any man to pledge him
self to vote for his re-election if he
believes his pledge will work against
him in the election this fall, nor does
he want any candidate for the repub
lican nomination for congress to re
pudiate his party by failure to enter
the caucus.
That Mr. Canncn was consider
ably nettled by the dispatch from
Beverly was apparent, when a copy j
of it was handed him There is no !
doubt that Mr. Cannon believes the i
Longworth statement was inspired by
President Taft. He did bo; s*y so in
so many words, bet be intimated as
much when he said that: 'It U time
enough to answer the president of
the United States if he has any state
ment to make touching the republic
anism of the speaker of the house of
representatives, when be makes that
statement under his own band. 1 will
cot fight »mdmihs fi’ied by breeies
biown from the lungs of political or
personal enemies or cowards."
Following the reply made to Long
worth. Mr. Cannon supplemented it
with the following.
“The legislation enacted and the
record made by the republican party
during the eight years I have been
speaker speaks for itself. I have
contributed what 1 could toward the
enactment of that legislation. 1 have
co-operated with the republican
majority in congress in the effort to
put in the statute books the policies
of the party and I have no apology to
make for the part I have taken in the
legislative councils of the country.
“In the present campaign, so far
as I am concerned. I shall do what I
can to bring about the election of a
republican house of representatives
in the Sixty-first congress, and with
out a republican majority in the next
house there will be no republican
speaker.
In the event or mv re-election as
a member of the house. I shall attend
and abide by the action of the repub
lican caucus, and from his statement
Mr. Longwortn will do the same, as
will every republican member of the
house. Therefore. I have no quarrel
with Representative Inagawth as to
who shall be speaker of the next
house of representatives and there is
no room for disagreement touching
this matter between Representative
Lonpworth and myself.
“If any republican candidate for
congress feels that his position as a
candidate on the republican ticket
would be strengthened by pledging
that he will not support me in the re
publican caucus. I have no objection
to his making the pledge. The only
thought I would make as to the re
publicanism of candidates for con
gress is. will he. if elected, attend
the republican caucus and abide by
the same in the organization of the
house and in the enactment of legis
lation in pursuance of republican
policies."
