A prominent republican of the Fifth ron grcerional district has been making In quiries regarding Rinegde William, the treacherous republican candidate for rail way commissioner, and tlie attitude of re publicans toward him. From a number of republican to whom he talked he learned that Williams will be scratched vigorously, and no man's republicanism will be ques tioned who vote for Oeorge Horst Instead of the. sell-out candidate. This man not only stopped in Lincoln, but he visited Omaha and talked with people who knew Williams personally, and from them be learned that he was not to be trusted, and wilt report accordingly to the repub licans of his district. Williams Is proving a very serious handicap to the state com mittee officials, and If the committee is making any speaking dates for him the matter 1 being kept rather quiet.

His time would have expired next March. Sass said Rivers had been a faith ful helper for a number of years and In the evenings be had taught his children their lessons and the whole Bass family thought much of him. Not only because , Rivers In a good man, Pass said, but lie- j cause he needs someone to help blin husk corn, he wanted to get him paroled. ' Applications have been pouring Into the labor bureau for farm hands to help get in the corn crop, hut so far the labor bureau has not been able to even begin to supply the demand. At this tlni there la not a single pplicatlnn on file In this de partment for a place, while the applications for farm helpers are almost countless. Mr. Bush said he had looked all around Omaha and failed to get the men needed and other states adjoining are in the same fix as Nebraska.

The above firm offered the goods at the lowest ftgares, the total bill amounting to some ll.pte. No bids were advertised for, as It Is said by the board members to be almost Impossible to get bids on furniture through advertising. Whether any of the Norfolk firms were called upon to make prices, and thus save freight from Lincoln, Is not of record and neither Is It of record that any except Lincoln stores were visited. Both Governor Mickey and Treasurer Mor tensen are of the opinion the state got a good bargain and that the. goods were bought at extremely low figures. What Inlveralty Wants.
