Is Reappointed
Grand Old Man of State House
Will Serve Under Fifth

Lincoln, Dec. 1. (Special.) Col. J.
II. I'resson, grand old man of Ne
braska's state house, will remain as
record clerk In the office of Governor
elect Bryan. His home is In Omaha.
Hryan took five minutes from Inter
viewing Job hunter today to an
nounce the reappointment of Col.
Col. i. II. Presson.
Treason to this position which the
colonel has held under Governors Al
drlch, Morehead, Neville and McKel
vie. Col. Fresson Is a civil war veteran
and Methodist minister. His father
also was a minister and in that ca
pacity came to Nebraska when the
colonel was 16 year old, built a log
church near Omaha where the first
regular Protestant religious services
in the state were held.
Col. Presson has done much In the
state house to take away the fear of
approaching old age from younger
generations of the male sex. 'It is
the colonel that the state house sten
ographers pat on the head as they
pass, It is the colonel who can go to
show with them with their beaux at
their sides without fear of Jealousy,
and It is the colonel, alone, in the rays
of an illuminating sun who can and
will hold the hands of trie stenogra
phers while others stand around and
wish they could. The colonel is past
80.
