Factions Fight Over Candidate for Bryan’s Job Governor Certain to Offend Powerful Leaders Regard* legs of Choice—Dahl man Out for Place. tfontlnned from Pace One.) first place. He has Insisted from the first that Governor Bryan should be placed on the national ticket. Coupled with the mayor’* kind words and deeds Is belief In the minds of Dahlman workers that Bryan is willing to go the limit to obtain united support of hla nprty In the national campaign. That he realizes some thing magnanimous must be done to sooth the wounds he put in the back of Arthur Mullen and former senator Hitchcock at the New York conven tion. Dahlman’s friends say that Hitchcock and Mullen should insist on naming the mayor. If this Is done, those who say there is a Bryan Hitchcock deal, maintain that Gover nor Bryan will wield his state politi cal patronage and possible federal patronage in the offing in such a manner as to make Mayor Dahlman democracy’s state leader In tjie com ing campaign. If the Dahlman debt were the only obligation Bryan had he wouldn’t need worry for a minute. He’d prob ably pay up Instantly. But he owes as great a debt to J. N. Norton of Polk, his former antagonist for the gubernatorial nomination. Norton's friends charge that Bryan and Hitch cock double-crossed their candidate In the campaign. First, this was done by forming Bryan-Hltchcock har i mony clubs. Later at the non-parti san league endorsement convention where Bryan was accused of sharp practice In obtaining the league's endorsement over Norton. Norton a Stumbling Block. Bryan, It is known, promised to pacify the Norton followers. To name Norton as his successor Is Bryan’s opportunity to make amends, Norton’s friends assert. However this would not please Hitchcock nor Mul len. Norton is on the Chautauqua cir cuit in Illinois. Efforts ar* being made to locate him. Another sore spot In state democ racy that now comes to the front was caused by the rupture between Bryan and the cattlemen represented by the unsuccessful candidacy of Charles Graff of Bancroft for the democratic gubernatorial nomination. Graff’s friends say Bryan should see that Graff becomes the nomine*. Graff admitted Friday he was considering entering as a candidate. The candidacy of John H. More head, If It materializes, will b# sup ported largely by Influential friends of the former governor. His backers will be such men as Clarence Har mon of Lincoln, Judge Andrew P. Morrissey and Warden W. T. Fenton. These men are as resourceful In si lent, underground political work as Governor Bryan. They could, If they desired, do much to smash the Eryan machine In an effort <o place More head on the ticket. This Is true de spite the fact that Bryan undoubtedly would fight Morehead from the start. Dan Stephens of Fremont, as a can didate for governor, would be unde sirable to Bryan In the opinion of ob servers. It wasn’t more than a week ago that Stephens issued a statement charging Nebraska’s governor with playing Into the hands of bosses In an effort to pull down the vice presi dential plum. COOLIDGESSPEND * DAY IN SECLUSION Washington, July 11.—Except for the regular semiweekly cabinet meet ing. there were no engagements at the White House today and both President and Mrs. Coolidge spent the day in seclusion after returning from Vermont where their younger son was buried yesterday. The special train with the president and his family, members of his cabi net and others who accompanied the body to Its last resting place returned to the capital early this morning. The White House was at once re opened to visitors, the flag run to full staff and the usual routine of of ficial life resumed. The executive and his family, how ever. spent the entire day In resting. I.ate in the afternoon the president and his father, John C. Coolidge, who returned with him from Vermont, went for an automobile ride.and to the naval dispensary to have the father's eyes examined.

BRITISH GET U. S. SLOGAN TWISTED By Universal Service. London, July 11.—''Telling the world” Is the way most of the Kng lish newspapers today are misinter preting 2,500 American advertising men’s slogan, ‘‘we'll tell the world.” But this slight error does not mini mize in the least the fact that London Is being electrified as never before by the presence of the nilvanco guard of the small army of publicity ex perts. The Houston delegatlo nbrought a tremendous quantity of watermelons, each the size of an elephant, If you take them an literally quoted, and "sweeter than strawberries.” The delegation is going to let non-Amerl e-ana sample them to prove Its claim that Texas, and especially Houston, Is the most wonderful spot on earth. Bishop Lays Cornerstone of New Terumseh Churrli Tecumseh, Neb., July 11.—The cornerstone of the new St. Andrew church was laid here Thursday. Francis J. Beckman, hlshop of Lin coln. was In charge of the services, and there were many vlalttng clergy men. Rev. Thomas Barden has been priest In charge of the church for a great many years, and the church has prospered under his pastorate. Th» new edifice la to coat 165,000, Is to he of very beautiful architecture, und is a valuable addition to the city. 1,- .» \ Towboat “Decatur” Soon to Ply River, Sioux City to Nebraska City St. Ivouls, July 11.—The first tow boat of a 200-mlle barge service to begin operation shortly between Sioux City, la., and Nebraska City, Neb., Is nearing completion here. If the 200-mlle service proves suc cessful, it Is planned eventaully to connect Omaha with Sioux City and Nebraska City and with the govern ment barge line here. Nebraska shippers have been de manding a barge line connecting with St. i-iouls and the government line to New Orleans since they learned of the advantages of the government service and its saving of 20 per cent over rail rates. While the towboat Is under con struction here, two barges are being built in Nebraska. The towboat has been named "Decatur.” It is 96 feet long with a 24 foot beam and an estimated draft of 30 inches, when the 375-horsepower engines shall have been installed. The two barges are to have a 24-foot beam, to be 100 feet long and have a 30-lnch draft under a 150-ton load. A round trip is to be made each week. Cattle and farm products are expected to be the principal cargo, although the line will accept any sort of freight carried by the rail roads. Because of the shifting and shallow channel, the Missouri river generally has discouraged steambot service In recent years. __ OIL FIRMS DENY PRICE FIXED HERE (Contlnned From Pur One.) The Standard ha* never had any Interest whatever In the 'mystery station,” says the affidavit. The affi davit Is emphatic statin? that the Standard and its officers have never In any way consulted with any other companies or officers regarding the prices to be fixed for their products. A. H. Richardson, president of the Standard Oil of Nebraska, states that he fixes the price to be char?ed for products at the Standard's stations throughout Nebraska and that the prices were never fixed with the aim of driving any competitor out of business, never fixed by agreement with other companies, that the Stan dard never gives rebates, that all prices are public, available to every body. He admits that the Standard re fused to sell to Don Scott at Auburn and to John Hopkins for the muny station because "Scott was sailing gasoline at his garage at a price less than the Standard was charging at Its servlcs station In Auburn and to supply Scott with gasoline to be re sold at a price below what the Stan dard was charging would be to crip ple or destroy Its business.” The same considerations moved the de fendant to refuse to sell gasoline to John Hopkins. These refusals to sell were without collusion or agreement with another company, Humphrey says. Ifopkln’s Charge Denied. He says neither he nor any offi cers of his company has acted with any other companies or individuals to fix prices, Indulged In any unfair competition, has reduced prices In various localities only to meet com petition and la not discriminating be tween sections. In all localities In ths state except where prices have been reduced to meet competition the prices charged by the Standard considering the cost of the commodity, transportation and delivery, are substantially the same. H. A. Johnson, manager of the Standard Oil company, Omaha divi sion, denied an affidavit by John Kllnker of Lincoln who said some Standard oil representative called on him to discuss prices. II. H. Rosenberger, a Standard salesman, tells of calling on Don Scott in Auburn In regard to leasing him a gasoline pump. Scott told him he was going to put gasoline down to 21 cents, "as there was not anything In handling It, anyway.” and then Ros enberger said to him he would lose more money by that than he would make. Rosenberger asked him what he was paying for gasoline and Scott said It was none of hi* business, but that he was making more money sell ing Sinclair gasoline at 21 cents than he had ever made before. He says he never told Scott that if he reduced the price of goaallne the Standard would not sell to him. Harry A. Anderson of Anderson Johnson company, denies that John Kelpln, Harry Burke or anyone else called on any representative of this company to buy gasoline In carload lots for John Hopkins ns alleged in the state's affidavits.

A. between Grand Island and Central City on the west and Omaha and Valley on the east, avoiding the Lincoln high way between Valley and Central C.ty or avoiding Fremont, Ames, ,'orth Bend. Rogers, Schuyler, Columbus, Silver Creek and Clarks.
