letter circles. Hemlock Jones, the

fudge, divulged the hiding place of
the Alpha Phi mascot.

where daring plots were formed and
terrible tows of vengeance sworn.

GOVERNOR REFUSES TO SIGN
Gives as Reason a Rule, Not to Affix
Name to Petitions or Recom
mend Patent Medicine
E. E. Bennett of Lincoln innocently,
nerhaDS. created something of a panic
among democratic state officers this
forenoon bv presenting to them a pe
tition asking for the submission or a
prohibitory amendment next year un
Apt the initiative and referendum law
a law championed for many years by
W. J. Bryan, the recognized leader or
democracy. Two of the state omcers
Atnrmov Oenfir&l Reed and State
ntkvtuv
Treasurer George E. Hall, were luck
ly or unluckily absent and did not
have to face the petition, but Mr. Ben
nett nromises to come another day.
Governor Morehead, the first omcer
approached, declined to sign the re
quest to submit the proposed dry
amendment to the state constitution
to a vote of the people next year. He
declined on the broad ground that he
had a rule, which is seldom fractured.
not to sign petitions of any kind or to
roommend any particular brand of
cigars or patent medicines or other
articles of merchandise.
Secretary of State Pool did not sign
the petition. State Auditor Smith said
ha believed in the initiative ana rerer
endum and would sign a petition to
submit the amendment to a vote, but
he did not sign on the ground that he
is not a legal resident of Lincoln or
Lancaster county. His legal home Is
still in Seward. Mr. Bennett said that
made no difference, that the signers
could state in the petition where their
legal residence is. He said ex-Governor
Holcomb, now a member of the
state board of control, had signed and
stated that he votes at Broken Bow,
his legal home. Judge Howard Kenne
dy, republican, a member of the state
board of control, signed the petition,
and so did Railway Commissioners H.
T. Clarke, H. G. Taylor and T. L. Hall,
lsn State Superintendent A. O.
Thomas, all republicans. Several dem
ocrats holding appointive positions in
the state house, signed the petition.
Land Commissioner Fred Beckmann.
republican, did not sign.
Mr. Bennett said the work of gath
ering names had commenced and
workers are now canvassing the city
of Lincoln, but had volunteered to call
vntor in the state house. At noon
he had not gone above the firs? floor
the Judges of the supreme
court or other officers above that floor
in the building.
