Lincoln. Nov. 4. Now that the Ju
dicial election N over and the state
.government still lives , the minds of
the politicians turn to the coming
election to be bold next vear. Candl-
d-itcs are oxrocted to wring up from
all quarters of the state and many
who do not erring un on their own
accord will be errnnir hv tholr al

who has made It hot recentlv. as the
chief executive of the metronolltan
city of the state is making a vigorous
campaign for the nomination In ad
dressing public meetint"5 of various
kinds over the stnto. While it is not
likely , it is roTlblc that George W.
i Boree and perhaps W. B. Price may
ret into the came for f'e democratic
no'vliation w'-en ' the Sliallenborger-
Dablman content rots warm. On the
romiliMcan sii'e fonder Senator C. II.

is W. F. Andrew who 1 = liab'o to get

Ex-Covernor George L. Sheldon is
frequently beard in connection with

So far there ha been no talk of

Lhat he will have no opposition In

chairman of the railway commission
ind as such It has developed unori
ilm to write most of the orders
which have ben made. According
to those who have had buslnes with

satisfactory , and , therefore , there is
no reason for opposition In his own
party at least .

of state and attorney general as each
of these have served two terms. As
yet no one In either party has been
mentioned as candidates for any of

Lincoln Asylum Row.
The climax of the row between the
superintendent and the book-keeper
at the Insane asylum at Lincoln has
culminated in the discharge of the
book-kcerer by Superintendent Wood-
ard. Follx Newton , the book-keeper ,
received bis walking papers from the
superintendent at a time when the
governor was absent from the state ,
and NQWton will take his cause up
with the big chief immediately upon
his return to the state. Newton Is a
Russian , and for a number of years
ho has been very prominent in local
politics , having been able to deliver
the greater majority of the Russian
vote to any particular candidate who
had his friendship. It was for his
activity along these lines that the
local politicians urged him for the
place upon the election of Goveronr
Shallenberger. From the very first
he and Superintendent Woodard failed
to get along , and the breech finally
became so wide that the superinten
dent snapped the string that held
Newton to the pay roll.
Governor Shallenberger spent ten
days In the company of a number of
governors and congressmen who ac
companied Pro ident Tnft down the
Mississippi river to New Orleans.
This same trip was made a year ago
by Governor Sheldon with President
Roosevelt as the guest of honor. The
object of the river trip was to create
Interest In a deep waterway to the
gulf.
State Should Advertise.
General Mamlcrson has como to
the conclusion that the state of Ne
braska needs more advertising , and to
got It ho is In favor of the state ap
propriating more money for the
maintenance of the state labor bu

to General Manderson by reason of
a stranger asking him about the valu i.
ation of the agricultural products of
the state and the fact that ho gave
an answer which placed the figures
entirely to low. When ho discovered [ I
his mistake ho at once wrote to
the deputy labor commissioner for
