Head Back From East Says Norris May Run Again Omaha Banker Believes Ne braska Senator Will Seek Third Term If Friends Insist. Walter W. Head returned to Omaha yesterday from the ea$t with news that Senator George Norris may agree to make another campaign for the senate. "I was glad to find that senator Norris’ health is greatly improved,” said Mr. Head. ‘ He appeared to be haile and hearty. I am hopeful that this will result in his being a candi date for renomination in the pri maries next April and for re-election next fall. The state of his health forced him to consider retirement from public life, and I hope this will not be a bar to his continued service to the people of this state and to the nation at large. "Senator Norris lias served No braska in the United States senate for 12 years. He has achieved a leadership in Washington which no new man can attain without several years of service. It would be a calam ity if he were to be permitted to retire at this time. Friends of Sena tor Norris and ..ebraskans generally, should make clear to him that they desire him to become a candidate next spring. If they do thia, I do not think he will refuse.” Wealthy Farmer, Sons Fined in Rum Charge Special Dispatch to The Omaha Be*.
