Owed to Dahlman, Claim * - Candidates for Charles W. Bryan's gubernatorial shoes began fighting In the open Saturday whc» Commission er Dan Butler of Omaha, an avowed candidate, took a "not verbal shot at .1. N, Norton of Polk, the outstate man most frequently mentioned in connection with the nomination for the governorship. Butler didn't epress his own opinion of Norton. Instead, he expressed the i pinion Bryan had of Norton three years ago when Butler, Bryan and .Norton were in a three-cornered race for the nomination. It seems from Butler's remarks ihat Bryan called on Butler personalty, asking him to withdraw, and at the same time as serted that Norton couldn’t be classi fied as a democrat. Asked to Withdraw. "Why, Bryan called at my office during tlie primaries and tried to get nie to withdraw from the race,” But ler said. "He told me that Norton was not a democrat, but was lined up with the progressives and nonportl san leaguers. I wonder what he will say about Norton now. "This talk that we must have a dirt farmer for governor is the bunk, it requires a business man to run the state and he must be a democrat If Norton wasn't a democrat three years ago he can hardly be classified a., one today.” Appreciates Inquiry, Norton to date hasn't stated posi tively that he would accept. His friends, however, are Insisting that, he will accept the honor and all that Is necessary is for Bryan to say the word. The following telegram from Norton at Chadwick, Ilk. where he is lecturing on a Chautauqua platform, was received Saturday by Omaha friends: "Appreciate your kind Inquiry, but I have no comment to offer at this lime relative lo becoming candidate for governor to succeed Governor Bryan,” liooni for Purcell. Custer county, hotbed of politics, has launched a boom for State Sen ator Emerson Purcell. "A "Purcell fur Governor dub" was organized at Broken Bow Friday night. Purcell Isn't any too friendly with the governor. During the legislative session he refused to follow the gov ernor's lead on various occasions and as a member of the state board of agriculture was insistent on adequate appropriations for eradication of bo vine tuljgrculosts. Smith Gains Favor. The name of W. H. Smith of Sew ard, stale tax commissioner and one of the Bryan appointees, is growing in favor. Smith knows politics by heart. For many years he has either been a candidate for an elective office in a candidate for an appointment. Bryan is indebted to Smith for win manner in which he has handled tax figures for the governor. Friends of John H. Morehead con I in tie to insist upon hit* selection. Bryan's friends are worried over the Morehead boom. "1 haven't given it sufficient thought, as yet," was Morehead's comment at Falls City Saturday. Osterman Discussed. In certain quarters Representative Theodore Osterman of Central City is discussed. Osterman at one time was looked upon as a formidable dirt farm er candidate. He introduced a state Income tax bill at two sessions of the legislature and acted as floor leader for the R. B. Howell forces which made him none ton popular with the HIteticnck-Mullen Interests. Kenneth MacDonald, unsuccessful Candida!* for attorney general against Attorney General Spillman and run ner up In the senatorial race. Is known to be ready to run. The day after Bryan was selected as ihe vice presidential candidate MacDonald loft Pi* biyr» at Bridgeport, ostensibly to get opinion of party leaders relative in his candidary. Meantime, friends of Mayor James C. Dahlman are insisting that Bryan owes plenty to Dahlman and If Hitch lock and Mullen will do their bit for Dahlman the governor will use his power with the state committee and deliver the nomination to Otnaha'a mayor. 11 ■ i 29!

Bryan \\ ron» on Davis Nebraska Delegate Says He Followed Conscience in Supporting Smith Till 101st Ballot. Eugene O’Sullivan, delegate tn the democratic national convention, re turned home Saturday afternoon, still enthusiastic, over the big show in Mauison Square Garden. ' It was a convention of delegates, the bosses cottldn t do a thing," he sa Id. Also: *T am unable to explain why W. J. Bryan supported MrAdoo. Governor (’. AV Bryan was a bigger man at flint convention than his il lustrious brother." O’Sullivan said he enjoyed every minute of the convention and that he attended every session. He asserted that in his support of Governor Al Smith he voted his convictions. "The contest between McAdoo and Smith was stubborn, with the McAdoo support being forced by unit rule. There was not a vote for Smith under the unit rule. Smith's supporters I were for him ardently because they ! liked him.' Nominated Bryan. O'Sullivan mad the nominating j speec h for Governor Bryan for presi dent during the early hours of the I convention, If. B. Kleharty of Omaha j having been selected to make the talk and Delegate Dan Stephens of I Fremont being disinclined. For the first few ballots the Ne braska delegation voted 15 for Bryan and one for McAdoo. the latter being (1. M. Hitchcock's vote. "Hitchcock at no *iine supported Governor Bryan," O’Sullivan said. "I voted for the governor for president about five times because lie was a Nebraska man and then 1 went back to Smith and stayed with the New York governor until the 101st ballot when I voted for Walsh and then for l.'nderwood on the next two bal lots. The only Nebraska delegate who voted for Davis on the 103d ballot was J Mrs. Met tor-r of Lincoln, an alternate. George O’Malley cf Greeley stayed with Smith right into the laid ballot." Says \V. .1, I ninformed. Explaining W. .1. Bryan's opposition to John NY. Davis, O'Sullivan said he believed the former Nebraskan did not know just what manner of man Davis is. "The Nebraska delegates talked Governor Bryan for vice president from th»> very first." O'Sullivan vouchsafed the opinion that Governor Smith in a bigger man than McAdoo ever dared to lice." and showed this during the convention. O'Sullivan did not attend the con ferencs on the* night before W. J. Bryan made his address to the con vention recommending certain candi dates, and excluding Smith, Davis and Fnderwood. o Sullivan talks democratic harmony now, stating that Davis and Bryan will be words to conjure with during the next few months. ' Adieu to "Al." "But, you know me, Al," he said to the governor of New York when lie entrained a few days ago. During the early days of the con ventlon the Nebraska delegates agreed not to take their standard out on the floor unless for Governor Bryan or some other Nebraskan, according to i I’Kulllvan. "When Chairman Dan Stephens tool our standard out during the Mi Adou demonstration, i had a banner made, reading. 'Nebraska Al Smith Contingent.' A delegate from Mis sisslppi came over to rue and asked what contingent meant, wlieieiipott n Judge informed the inquiring one that I nominated Governor Bryan for pres blent and whs nuppoitlng Governui Smith foi m contingent fee."

Two great fires, which 1.000 men had battled into subjection, tonight were roaring on fresh careers of de struction.
