This derision was reached by Mr. Ilen nlngs after several days spent (n can vassing the situation and a short stay In Lincoln, which he spent In quiet medita tion away from the busy political whirl.

It was written by a man who has had It in for me ever alnce I became treasurer of tho state com mittee.

However, I am not worried In the least about anything and I am glad I have gotten out of the running. I am not sure what I will do about resigning when Mr. Kink takes charge of this office. That will have to be decided later." Interview He Repudiated.
